Berrysprout

**Berrysprout** is a red tabby cat with amber eyes.

**Berrysprout** was born as **Berrykit** to Canarydance and Junipernose alongside his siblings Cherrykit and Hollykit.

## Appearance

Berrysprout is a short-furred red mackerel tabby tom with bright amber eyes. His pawpads and nose are a light pink color. His short coat is sleek and shiny, while his prominent ears are pointed at the tips, being most obvious when something interesting catches his attention. Though not usually apparent, one may observe upon getting a closer look that his muzzle is slightly shorter and broader than his littermates, which is a trait he inherited from his father. His long tail tends to swish around whenever he gets impatient or nervous.

## Personality

To call Berrysprout a go-getter would be an understatement.

Positive, headstrong, and cheerful, the apprentice has retained the vigorous spirit that defined his kithood, and then some. He is a lightning bolt—a flying hawk that watches everything with an inquisitive eye. Look deep into his amber gaze, and one might find the lightning-hot fire that blazes behind them, sparked by a curiosity and a fierce ambition. Little adventures were had and experienced, and now he is readier than ever to push his limits even further, searching for new and exciting paths on his quest to become one of the very best warriors HollowClan has ever seen.

Confidence was not a trait he had ever lacked—Berrysprout is closely familiar with his intrinsic charm, sometimes bordering on pretentious and obnoxious in the ways he flaunts it. Influenced by his mentor, Lilyroot, the positive, friendly way in which he carries himself is infectious, and so it does not take a lot for him to chat with any cat. For the most part, he brushes off most insults or jokes thrown his way—he may even make a few self-deprecating ones from time to time.

For him, any situation is a new opportunity. If he had his way, he would wholeheartedly throw himself into potential challenges with reckless abandon and wide-eyed wonder. Navigating them is something that he would much rather prefer to tackle himself than ask someone else for help. It does not always work out, and it may annoy a lot of his Clanmates, but for him that was all right; things had to be taken gradually, and they would come to understand eventually. What was a hero without a few challenges to fell along the way, after all?

For all his audacity, however, he would not hesitate to say that his mother and two sisters are the trees that keep him steady through adversity. Family means everything to him, and as such it is his weakest link—the thread that he tries hardest to keep from unraveling in his mind. His late father remains a sore spot for him. His positive nature can often feel like a farce to himself; something that he keeps up even during times when he is hurting badly, holding onto it tightly as a compensation for the gaping hole in his heart. Since finding out that he was not Junipernose’s only son, and that his family wasn’t the only one, his changing world now feels that much more fragile. He hides away from the truth, refusing to acknowledge Primrosestep, Bluecreek and Rainsweptwave with anything more than cold respect.

Still young and faced with uncomfortable, unshakable truths, he must slowly begin to navigate these murky waters if he is ever to fully realize who he truly is.
