Physical Appearence
Lichenflower is a large bodied and long-haired tom with warm yellow eyes. He has dark brown tabby fur with classic stripes covering his limbs and the back half of his body. White spotting covers his back paws, front toes and belly fur extending up to mark a stripe through his face. The blue wing of a pea blue butterfly rests behind his right ear and pink forget-me-not flowers adorn his belly fur.
His dark brown fur and larger size (uncommon in Duskclan) make him attractive by Duskclan's standards as it implies strength and helps him blend seamlessly with the natural environment of their bush territory.

Relationships
STANDING
Duskclan
Lichenflower is adored and admired by much of Duskclan. Born to a strong lineage of clerics and warriors the tradegy of his mother's passing bought him early sympathy as he became essentially communally raised in his father's early absence and grew strong bonds to cats within high positions, such as the cleric Doespring and senior warrior Stoatbite. As he conintued to become cleric's apprentice he earned more respect with his continuous compassion and dedication to his healer's position, particularly admired by the elders and monarch's under his care.
This admiration has it's downsides though, as the pressure to uphold his image as Duskclan's golden child is felt constantly by Lichenflower and impacts his relationships with others, causing him to break of his close friendship with Cricketthroat. He struggles to understand that Kowhaipaw lacks the same support he recieved and unknowingly adds pressure in his attempts to make her feel more accepted by the clan.
Kiwitalon and Tulipstem
Lichenflower has little memory of his mother, who passed early in his life, but remembers her in a positive light largely due to the positive conncections he has with his family through her, such as Cloverpatch and Darksky. He has a difficult relationship with his father however, particularly upset at his abandondedment of his sister. His resentment also stems from younger memories of his failed attempts to garner any amount of attention as a kit/young apprentice.
Kowhaipaw
Lichenflower is very close with his younger half-sister and felt protective and nurturing towards her the moment she was brought to the clan. During her early life he spent much time around the nursery helping raise her alongside her foster mother and makes strong efforts to make her feel accepted but can be over protecitve unknowingly.
Doespring
Lichenflower has a closeness with Doespring that few have been able to achieve outside of close family, as he was essentially raised in the cleric's den as he recovered from illness as a kit after his mother's death and in his father's absense. She has a strong influence over him and does her best to raise him in a way that suits her ideals, although his persistent compassion and acceptance for others sometimes challenges this. Her approval is incredibly important to him as she is the most knowledgable and measured cat that he knows.
Stoatbite
Stoatbite attached himself to Lichenflower as an 'older brother' type figure when he was a kit, as he was once very close with Lichen's father. Through Stoatbite Lichenflower is also close with the other senior warriors. It bothers Lichenflower that Stoatbite doesn't extend much warmth towards his sister but he struggles to address it due to a fear of conflict.
Cricketthroat
Lichenflower and Cricketthroat had a close friendship as apprentices from when Lichenflower brought him to the clan and helped heal his wounds. They grew close quickly, Lichenflowers genuine and affable personality coaxing Cricketthroat to open up, both growing romantic feelings for eachother. But Cricketthroat wasn't recieved as readily by the rest of clan and Lichenflower felt pressured to distance himself from Cricket, who felt betrayed and resentful because of this. These days they have a tense acquaintinceship for the sake of Kowhaipaw, both pretending to be unaffected by the other.
