Make sure to check out @Hollyleaftheawesome (she is the one who is hosting this contest plus her art is really good!) Name: Orangetail Gender: Male Personality: Calm, Stubborn, and Loyal. Appearance: White tom with ginger tail and ears and green eyes Clan: Thunder clan Family: Mom: Silverblaze (deceased) Dad: Branchfoot (deceased) Sister: Patchfur Brother: Wildfire Mate: Nutpelt Kits: Blazefoot, Ashtail, and Antclaw Nieces: Coralpaw, Wildpaw, Silkystream and Lionshine Nephews: Leafpaw and Frozenkit(deceased) Backstory: as a young kit, he was very energetic and loved to play with his denmates. he would always be making up new games, and was very fond of story telling. as he approached apprenticeship, he began to wonder if he would actually be able to help his clan if he kept this attitude, and he began to try to be more serious. as he tried to think of a way to help his clan, he found that the current medicine cat was getting really old, and they needed an apprentice. wanting nothing more than to help, he asked to train as a medicine cat, and they accepted. the first moon of training was fine, he helped gather herbs and they weren't too hard to memorize, but he grew increasingly nervous about the realness of starclan. he new he should believe in them, and he wanted to believe in starclan, but no matter what he did part of him still always doubted their existence. of course, this lead to a problem. Orangetail felt really bad about being a med cat who doesn't believe in starclan, and all his mentor would do to comfort him is tell him that starclan would talk to him eventually. desperate, he snuck out one night to head o the moonstone, in hope of finding literally any evidence of starclans existence. after a long walk he arrived. He tried to speak to starclan one last time, but they didn't come. frustrated, he went back home, and spent the rest of the night preparing to tell his mentor and leader that he wanted to start training as a warrior. his leader understood, but his mentor was clearly upset. after beginning his training as a warrior apprentice, he didn't really have any really big problems. he still felt bad about all that had happened, but he could handle. it wasn't til soon after he became a warrior that problems started to arise. he was hunting late one night, when he spotted his sister, Patchfur, hanging out with a windclan tom. he was furious with her, and ignored her desperate attempts to apologize. he agreed to run around telling everyone, but made it clear that he would not help any further, and if his clanmates did ask, he would tell the truth. he remained bitter towards her for a long time, until one of his close friends, Tigerleaf, talked some sense into him. he never fully forgave her, but he recognized that she was trying to get better and stopped constantly making passive-aggressive comments towards her. it was not long after that conversation that he met a loner named Coconut. she offered to help him hunt, since leafbare was approaching, but in return he let her have a mouse or two. she was a very skilled hunter, and it seemed mutually beneficial, so he accepted. they went on these daily hunting trips for a while, and eventually when the need for food wasn't that high the two just sort of hung out for fun. Eventually, Coconut decided to join the clans, accepting the new name Nutpelt. it took a few moons, but eventually the two fell in love and became mates. a while later, the two had a litter of three kits. A tom named Antkit (because he was so small), and two she-kits named Blazekit (Because of how much energy and passion she had) and Ashkit (because her fur looked like ash)
Sorry that the art looks so bad. I made this on my laptop during lunch at school so this is kind of rushed.
