Horizontail's Links
Redpaw is a battered child, hurt and needing a safe place. He's like a wounded and cornered animal in all interactions, lashing out at almost everything. Horizontail is determined to help him. He is a medcat, after all, ordained by StarClan themselves, and emotional wounds are just as real.
Horizontail is weird... but he hasn't hurt Redpaw so far. He's teaching him how to calm down when he gets mad, and how to help others when they're hurt. It's ok.
Yeller is an unconventional member of the clan, but she's proven to be loyal and she really cares for the cats of VistaClan. Whenever she's free, she sometimes spends her free time checking in on cats under Horizontail's care, if she's not playing with the kits. Horizontail trusts her not only as their deputy, but as a friend.
Horizontail is a funny old cat with a talent for healing. If he ever needs anything Yeller is always willing to listen to him.
Vicejaw is the ambitious sort, and the first that Horizontail's seen to really put effort into organizing and legitimizing VistaClan. At the same time, he brutishly ignores many rules and disregards the wishes of StarClan. While Horizontail respects his accomplishments at bringing VistaClan together, his irreverence is going to make him go grey someday. The best he can do is continue to represent StarClan and hope their leader will listen.
