APPEARANCE

Timidtail is a brown tabby with frost blue eyes, and a typically nervous expression.

She has a dark brown stripe down her nose, three freckles on each cheek, a few spots on her shoulders, and a dot of color for each eyebrow. Cream fur can be seen at the edges of her cheek fluff, a diamond on her chest, the lower half of her belly, and lined along the backs of her fore- and back- legs.

She has a shorter, softer build than most warriors, with medium-short fur growing in sleek and healthy due to the herbs she eats and handles all the time. Her face is somewhat squared.

Design notes
  • Nose and Paw pads are dark brown
  • Ears are often pointed downward in nervousness or dismay
  • Tail is often puffed out in fear
  • Despite her very blue eyes, she is not blind and can see perfectly well
  • Always looking at least a little bit startled, scared, or shy
Personality

Timidtail was a past medicine cat (now deceased) of Dragonclan. She's highly skilled but very... well, timid. Enough so that instead of giving her a name that went with her apprentice name, her mentor changed the prefix to 'Timid' to better suit her most noticable feature.

As the name implies, Timidtail is fearful, cautious, and does not do well with strangers, though she is equally reserved around clanmates and friends. She was very concerned with others' welfare, and would often play medicine cat as a kit. No one was surprised by her apprenticeship to the medicine cat at the time, Deathberry (a cat who had been named after the unfortunate circumstances of her birth by a mournful mate, or so they say).

History

Timidtail was born a stray in the city and as a kit her name was Bird. Her and her littermates all got very sick and the weakest few were abandoned so there would be enough food for the kits who had a better chance of surviving it. Her and two of her littermates, Panther and Skittish, were found and taken in by a loner named Sky.

Sky didn't know how to take care of the kits on her own so she turned to the clan cats her mother talked about for help. Although hesitant, DragonClan accepted them. Sky became an apprentice for a short while before she was given official warrior status and the kits were treated for their sickness and placed in the nursery with another queen.

Panther and SKittish were named Blackkit and Bravekit, while Bird was named Dewkit. Her siblings went on to become warrior apprentices and Dewpaw trained as a medicine cat under the harsh and highly questionable medicine cat at the time, Deathberry. When the time came to recieve her full name as a medicine cat, Deathberry setled on Timidtail due to her jumpy nature rather than keeping 'Dew' as part of it.

Years passed, Deathberry died, and Timidtail had many adventures with various cats from several different clans. At some point Deathberry figured out how to posess her or something and after a while of just causing general trouble, Deathberry wrestled over full control and plunged off a cliff. Needless to say, Timidtail did not survive.

The whole possession thing caused a mix-up and Timidtail woke up in the dark forest while Deathberry ended up in StarClan as she had somehow planned. More stuff happened and then the living clan cats received a prophecy. They have to save the StarClan cats imprisoned in the dark forest and figure out how to get the dark forest cats out of StarClan to set everything right again.

Trivia

  • NOMENCLATURE
  • Prefix — Was named "Bird" for her delicacy, renamed to "Dew" for her blue eyes, then changed to "Timid" for her personality.
  • Suffix — Tail - it was often puffed up out of fear or nervousness. She had slightly better composure when she was older.
