Personality/History:

Elmbrook is a crotchety old man with a record of fighting unnecessary fighting as a younger cat. His kinked tail is a trophy of his many victories, broken in multiple places and proudly displayed. His rough and tumble, yet mean personality is the reason his daughter Dovefur gets herself into trouble by being just as aggressive. Though she's more mellow than her father thanks to her mother's softer personality, Elmbrook will never let her forget that her bloodline is made of seasoned fighters and winners.

Elmbrook had only ever had himself, relied on only himself and whoever he gets stuck on patrol with, though the latter is usually begrudgingly. As a younger cat, he was the headlining cat on most battles he and his Clan faced. He was the first to jump from the waves and the first to shed blood in every battle. His friend, then named Minnowbriar, refused to approve of her friend throwing himself in the line of battle at every chance, because she didn't want to see him die a needless death over something that they could salvage at the end, like a short slice of territory or a prey that accidentally passed over the border. He cared about the molly, and grew to love her even, but he couldn't stand by while his Clan was stolen from.

The tom was there when Minnowbriar lost her tail in a trap. He watched as she struggled to free herself, eventually doing so with the help of some AtollClan cats while Elmbrook stood by to stare. He hated how little he did and how much the other Clan actually helped the molly. He rushed in to bring her home, giving the other cats a half-hearted thanks because they saved her. Since that day, he had never left her side, confessing that he realized just how much he loved her, and wanted to be with her. Despite all of his anger and violence, she cared about him too. And from that fateful day, not only did Elmbrook finally find the cat that he had been wanting his whole life, but Minnowbriar renamed herself Stumpybriar to embrace her new quirk. She had something now in common with the tom she loved, and she wanted to embrace that.

Though they grew older together, they wanted to try for one kit. At the ages of 77 and 79, they finally welcomed a little molly to the world, Dovefur, and since her birth, Elmbrook has mellowed out a little. He's still sometimes mean, and can still be tough on the little ones, but Dovefur and Stumpybriar make him feel like that's less necessary.
