Character

History

Moleberry had a rather normal upbringing. However, when she was younger, she noticed that she was treated… differently than other’s her age. Folks tended to treat her with kit gloves, assume she didn’t know obvious things (she knows that there’s a mouse there, idiot, she has a nose), or just… forget she was blind at all and fumble through interactions with her.

Moleberry hated this. She hated being treated like a kit when she was an apprentice, thank you very much, and she hated that folks assumed things about her, like that she would be shy and unassuming, or that she couldn’t do certain things, all because she couldn’t see.

Her temper grew in size and fervor in response to her disquiet with this, and she became very snappish, with a caustic wit she wasn’t afraid to burn others with if they said something stupid.

For a little while during her apprenticeship, she trained as a warrior apprentice, if only to prove that she could do it. She did just as well as anyone else, and she was proud of that fact, but… her heart wasn’t really in it. She hated that others would tell her that she should be a medicine cat because they assumed she couldn’t do the usual warrior duties, so she stayed as a warrior apprentice for a while to spite them, but really, she had a great interest in herbs. She thought they were fascinating, she liked the way they smelled, the way they felt on her paws, the way they could prevent or fix illnesses like magic, almost. As she got a little older, she finally let herself fulfill her true desire and became the apprentice of the previous medicine cat.

Trivia

• Sometimes she acts anger in order to stomp out her anxiety. It’s easier to be angry than it is to be scared.

• She has a soft spot for kits. She doesn’t speak as roughly to them during their kithood, but they lose that privilege almost as soon as they become apprentices.
