Bumble

## Appearance & Personality

Bumble has a white base color with an ashy like gray covering his head and going down his back. He has white on his muzzle. He has dark gray blotches scattered on his back. He has white on the tip of his tail and two dark gray stripes just below the white. He has slitted eyes that are a vibrant amber color. He is a little on the short side. He has slightly long fur that is on the fluffy side. He has tall pointed ears with tufts on top.

He is less prideful than he once was though he still takes losses pretty personal. He can be a little stubborn at times but it doesn't take much to persuade his mind at times. He tends to show his softer side a lot more now after recent events making him often wear his heart on his sleeve these days. He still prefers to keep a lot of what he knows to himself, making him seem a little dull minded at times despite how quick and efficient of a learner he is. He is fairly closed off and can come off as stern or cold a lot of times due to it. He isn't much of a talker and tries to avoid a lot of social interaction if he can. He struggles to move on from the past and tends to linger on it a lot making him have a tendency to be a little pessimistic or even bitter towards others.

## Brief History

He spent most of his time with his mother when he was a kit and she often spent a lot of time teaching him manners, simple morals and such. His father was easily worried and spent most his time around the two never seeing much dedication to the groups before. When the clans were formed his father became uncertain with Bumble's mother passing away and a new lifestyle, he frantically did his best to continue to raise the tom.

Bumble grew up as Bumblemeadow, the medicine cat of RiverClan, but left and took the name Bumble when he joined Trunk's rogue group, which later became BloodClan.

As a medicine cat, he selected Dustfall as his apprentice, and also trained Mantisspring part of the time, as his mentor Thistlebrook had died before he completed his training.

## Detailed History

#### Kithood

Bumblemeadow was an only kit when he was born. His mother often kept him very close being very overprotective of him for most of his kithood. His mother passed away due to an illness just before the clans had been made leaving his father to take care of him. He was almost an apprentice by this point which took a bit of stress of his father but with adapting to a new lifestyle and raising a kit his father was often nervous around him a lot of times.

#### Apprenticeship

His apprenticeship finally arrived with his father still doing his best to raise him though now he wasn't needed as much in his life. Right off the bat into his apprenticeship he saw this as an opportunity to explore wherever he pleased. He wasted no time swimming across the river and going over the WindClan border. He didn’t get far as he was stopped by Rabbitpaw and argued with the other until Rainbowstar came around. After having a small talk with her he returned to camp frustrated by the WindClan leader, seeing her as a nuisance at the time. At this time he was going without a mentor so he spent a lot of his days exploring the territory teaching himself a few hunting and fighting techniques while also managing to learn a few things about herbs. During one of his days exploring a cat by the name of Coralpaw joined him and they quickly hit it off. It was the first cat he had spoken to in awhile that he took a quick liking to. The two had talked for a while and quickly became friends that day and agreed to take more frequent walks with each other. Though not long after this he had a fairly negative interaction with a warrior of his own clan. While sitting in his usual spot a cat by the name of Trunkblossom approached him claiming he was sitting in her spot. Due to his prideful personality he spoke back to the warrior, not planning to give up his spot. They argued for quite a while until another apprentice, Frozenpaw, approached taking the warrior’s side. Bumble attempted to stand his ground but was quickly defeated by the two continuing to argue with him finally breaking down his pride some making him move to a new spot. This knocked down his pride a little causing him to not be as upfront as he usually was. He went back to his usual routine without much happening, except his frequent chatting and walking with Coralpaw. During one of their walks he had discussed with the other his fear of his father not being proud of him when he became a warrior leading to him starting to question how he viewed his father. As his life grew a little dull he finally got a mentor giving him the opportunity to start properly training and getting ready for his warriorhood which was drawing near. A few moons after getting his new mentor Barkwing came to Bumblepaw asking him to be his apprentice. Bumblepaw eagerly agreed and started his new training quickly. Tragedy came not too long after this moment with the death of Barkwing. When he had stumbled upon his mentor’s body alongside Coralpaw and Sparkheart he was quickly stunned. This was the first time seeing such a gruesome scene and was left scarred by the image of his mentor lying dead. He felt a great wave of sadness wash over him in these times but found a little bit of hope in this dark moment as his close friend Coralpaw confessed her feelings to him which he quickly returned. The two decided to keep it a secret for the time being. It wasn’t long after that Bumblepaw got his full name though still only an apprentice he became the full time medicine cat of RiverClan. He was still mourning the loss of his mentor but with having to do the rest of his training himself he found himself being able to easily distract himself from that thought. Though this distraction didn’t last long as he returned to camp one day to find out his mate had suddenly vanished. Unsure of what had happened or where she went he fell into another state of grieving, using his training as best as he could to distract himself. Not long after he forced himself to think more about the future and begin to consider his apprentice. With some help from Woolymask who offered comfort to the other when he needed it most he found his head being a bit more clear. Having made a new friend he got a new sense of drive again as he thought more about what to do next at this point. After thinking it over for awhile he finally came to the choice of Dustkit as his apprentice.

#### Medicine Cat Life

Near the start of his medicine life he quickly was greeted by a strange she-cat who went by the name of The Median at the time. After their talk he brought her back to camp allowing her to stay there for awhile. When the gathering approached that upcoming week he escorted her there as she had wanted but was quickly surprised when she took lead in it all. After the gathering ended he felt more on edge than usual as he went about his days for awhile trying his best to not think about it. As tensions continued to grow he didn't let his faith in the cat waver. He made no effort to go against them at any point even when his contact with StarClan was cut off. For awhile he went about his days quietly not paying much attention to the events that were happening all that closely. That was until he ran into Softweb one night while he was out walking to clear his head. The she-cat told him about a prophecy she had gotten from StarClan, unable to explain it all that night he let the other take shelter in the clan. Once he was given more info he relayed the info to ShadowClan. He felt more tension rise with the passing days though it wasn't until The Median's last appearance that the panic really set in. As Widowstar attacked The Median he hid off to the side as the Aspguard began to attack the cats in the gathering. He found himself unable to do anything and just hopelessly watching the scene play out. After Rainbowstar had killed Widowstar and Sulfurstar and the dead cats retreated he finally found himself able to move from the spot. He was fairly shaken up by the bloodshed, finding himself unable to rid of the image from his mind. As the gathering came to an end he found himself willing to give The Median another chance despite all that had gone down. With his growing discomfort with his clan life he began to get outside more often than before. After things had settled some more after the recent events he finally decided to flee from the clan life unable to handle his duties anymore.

#### Rogue Life

At first he wasn't quite sure what he was going to do once he fled the clans. It wasn't until he met Snapdragon one day while he was out who approached him about joining Trunk's group that he had somewhere to go. With little thought he decided to join the group finding the group to possibly be a good chance at a new life in a way. He agreed to help teach the cats herbs and such with the forming of the new group, excited yet nervous for this new life. After a while of fairly quiet living in his new home his life finally came to an end while asleep one night. It's not determined how exactly he died in his sleep, but he seemed to have passed peacefully.
