## Backstory

### Kithood

Berrykit was born to a tom named Barkwhisper and a queen called Hazelfur during a battle between Windclan and the remnants of Bloodclan (which, is still sort of going on now). Sadly only a few hours after his birth Hazelfur and his siblings were pulled out of the nursery and killed, with his father watching. Being a newborn kit, Berrykit didn't know what was going on but could sense his father's fear. His nervousness stemmed from that not really ending.

When he was a young kit, another queen took care of him, while Barkwhisper fathered him the best he could, not wanting to lose him. He had an okay kithood, despite being afraid of almost everything. He was teased and sometimes bullied by the older kits for his size and fears, and they were made apprentices before him, so it stopped for a bit until he became an apprentice.

### Apprenticeship

Berrypaw was apprenticed to a warrior called Storkcatcher, who was harsh, hard-working, and hated Berrypaw's guts. He was always hard on him and kept him on his toes, which only brought up his fears and anxiety, but at least it made him an excellent fighter. He kept on training hard with his mentor for a few moons.

When he was eleven moons old and just about ready to take his assessment, his father fell fatally ill. Berrypaw tried to help the medicine cat at the time, Robindance, but failed and lost his father. Horrified, he thought about it throughout his assessment, and before he was made a warrior he told Robindance he was willing to learn about medicine to help other cats heal, not wanting them to feel the pain he went through when he lost his father. Robindance agreed and he became the second medicine cat, postponing his name ceremony for a bit and learning about the herbs. Thankfully the tom was intelligent and quick to work, so he was an amazing medicine cat and an even better apprentice. His mentor died when he was fifteen moons old and he became the medicine cat from a very young age, but he was prepared.

### Warrior Life

Berrypaw went to the Moonpool and recieved his medicine cat name, Berrytail, and was the dutiful and excellent medicine cat for many moons.

When he was nineteen moons old, an apprentice named Stormpaw visited him often to learn about herbs in his free time and ended up becoming Berrytail's apprentice. Cool!

When he was twenty-one moons old, a warrior came in gravely injured from a Bloodclan group they discovered while hunting near Twolegplace. His name was Sparkbounce, and while he was healing he became friends with Berrytail, even though the tom was pretty antisocial and shy. Berrytail liked the tom and was willing to try for him, and they became good friends. Berrytail developed a small crush on Sparkbounce, and had an existential crisis, because he was a tom. Toms didn't like other toms, right?

Anyways, Stormpaw, his apprentice, thought it was cute and quickly caught on to what was happening about it. He teases Berrytail about it, but is careful to do it only when they're alone because Berrytail doesn't want the secret to get out. He's a medicine cat, and medicine cats can't have mates.

Anyways, Berrytail just vibes now, but not really since he's a living representation of anxiety. There's things that have yet to happen in his life.

## Other Info

### Additional (and sometimes random) Info

* Berrytail's has two voice claims since I don't know which one's better; Steven Universe from, well, Steven Universe, and Bow from She-Ra.
* Berrytail also was sort of based off my old cat, Socks. They're both manx mixes.
* His old design was also hideous. He was a gross gray-brown with speckles on his face and back, and no other markings. I'm so much happier with the redesign, even if it is from a while ago.
* I headcanon that Berrytail is a distant relative of Hazeltail from the actual warriors series, since this takes place after the Warriors series, like, many generations after. With his mother being named Hazelfur, I thought it was a fun lil' harmless headcanon.
