Meltfur - OC

Instructions

Name: Meltfur Clan: ThicketClan Rank: Deputy Age: 12 moons Gender: Tom Appearance: Meltfur is a striking white tom with a sleek, short coat. His fur is mostly white, with a golden splotch on his tail that makes him easily recognizable. His eyes are a warm, soft hazel, giving him a calm and introspective look. Though still young, Meltfur has already grown into a lean, strong build, perfect for navigating the dense forests and thickets of his clan’s territory. His long tail is an elegant feature, often swishing behind him as he moves gracefully through the underbrush. Personality: Meltfur is a quiet, thoughtful cat, known for his calm demeanor and strategic thinking. Even though he is young, he was promoted to deputy early due to his sharp mind and maturity beyond his moons. As ThicketClan’s deputy, he takes his duties very seriously, often overthinking situations to make sure his decisions are the best for the Clan. While he can be a bit distant or reserved, his loyalty to ThicketClan is unquestionable. His feelings for Hailpaw cause him inner conflict, as he tries to balance his personal emotions with his role as deputy. Though young, Meltfur is incredibly protective of those he cares about, especially the younger cats in his Clan. Skills: Meltfur is naturally stealthy, excelling at hunting in the thick underbrush of his Clan’s territory. His youth hasn’t stopped him from proving his value to the clan with his sharp mind and quick reflexes. As a strategist, Meltfur is already showing signs of being an exceptional tactician, organizing patrols and helping to lead the Clan through difficult situations. His keen sense of responsibility, despite his age, has made him a trusted deputy, though some may doubt if he’s ready for the weight of leadership. Strengths: - Calm and strategic thinker - Quick reflexes and excellent hunter - Strong sense of duty and responsibility - Protective of those he cares about, especially younger cats Weaknesses: - Tends to overthink and second-guess himself - Can be seen as distant or overly serious for his age - Struggles with balancing personal feelings (especially for Hailpaw) and his duties - Still young, so sometimes unsure of himself in the face of leadership challenges Backstory: Meltfur was born into ThicketClan, and though he is young, he has already proven himself as a capable and reliable cat. He earned his warrior name after successfully leading a hunting party during a tough leaf-bare, where prey was scarce, and ThicketClan needed to rely on their hunters’ wits and strategy to provide. Despite being only 12 moons old, his maturity and leadership potential did not go unnoticed, and he was made deputy early. He feels the pressure of his role, sometimes wondering if he is too young to carry such responsibility, but he pushes forward for the good of the Clan. Meltfur’s sister, Silvermoon, lives in FrostClan, and their bond remains strong despite the distance between their clans. Silvermoon carries the secret of having seven lives, which only a few know, including Wrenfall and Springleaf. One day, while patrolling ThicketClan’s border with a group of warriors, Meltfur crossed paths with Hailpaw, an apprentice from FrostClan. She revealed that she was involved in a prophecy, and after a brief conversation, asked him for help. Meltfur, despite the tensions between their Clans, agreed to assist her, understanding that she may play a pivotal role in the future of the Clan. Though he knows that he must remain cautious, his quiet feelings for her have only deepened, though they remain unspoken. Relationships: - Hailpaw (from FrostClan): Meltfur feels a strong sense of responsibility to help Hailpaw, especially after she asked for his assistance in the face of the prophecy. His feelings for her remains a well-kept secret, known only to Wrenfall and Springleaf (both of whom are from FrostClan, though Meltfur doesn’t know them well). His feelings for Hailpaw cause him some inner turmoil, as he’s unsure of how to balance his emotions with his duties as deputy. - Silvermoon (Sister in FrostClan): Silvermoon is Meltfur’s sister, and even though they are in different clans, they maintain a close relationship. Meltfur knows that Silvermoon is hiding something—her seven secret lives—but he is unsure of how to help her. He worries for her but doesn’t speak of it openly. Wrenfall & Springleaf (from FrostClan) Meltfur doesn’t know much about Wrenfall and Springleaf, except that they are from FrostClan and know about his feelings for Hailpaw. He wonders how they know about his emotions for the FrostClan cat, he has not directly spoken to them before. Though they are not close, Meltfur is aware that they are trusted by Hailpaw, and he wonders if they might have more involvement in the unfolding prophecy.
