full • Tawnytail is a lean yet fluffy brown and white cat with pointed ears and yellow eyes. Her yellow eyes have flecks of orange in them that are most noticeable when the sun hits her eyes. Small scars stretch across her face from her time with twolegs; when she fought to escape she got caught up in a barbed wire fence. She tore free from it but it left her permanently scarred. She has a sight limp from when she was an apprentice.

    Tawnytail is a kind, bubbly cat who can often be mistaken as ditsy. She however, is most certainly not. She simply loves her clan mates and loves making the cats around her happy. She is often found walking along muttering to herself and smiling. If a cat comes up behind her while she is lost in thought like this she will jump up ten feet in the air, maybe even squeal. Lesson learned, don't come around unannounced. 

    When she isn't daydreaming she is actually rather observant, often times noticing when her clan mates are disturbed before others do, as a result most clan mates come to her when they are down or need a second opinion. She is also particularly good at noticing when kits are about to get themselves in way over their heads, due largely in part to the fact that her brother, Emberpelt, was a huge trouble maker growing up.    

    Her time away from her clan only made them become more important to her. Once she returned and became a warrior she devotes most of her time to her Warrior duties (obviously) but she would also take her spare time to watch the kits are help the medicine cat find or apply herbs. She loves her clan and will do anything to help them.

    Tawnytail was born and raised in Thunderclan, to Silverleaf and Owlfur. Two warriors, they tried to teach their children to be kind yet strong, but it seemed everything went wrong for them. Spiderheart, Tawnytail's younger sister was taken by something in the middle of the night, everyone told her she was dead, but Tawnytail doesn't believe them. The loss of the young kit destroyed Silverleaf who has never recovered, she sits alone in her den now as an elder.  As a kit Tawnytail was a bubbly kind kit who wanted to play with everyone, including the Deputy and leader much to her parents dismay. She would constantly run off but not out and into trouble like her brother, but off to say hi to everyone and follow them as far as she could. As a result from this Tawnytail had many, many friends and most Warriors would be happy at her approach.
     As an apprentice moons ago she went out with her mentor and both were attacked by a badger, it came out of the underbrush silently, pouncing on her mentor and pinning her mentor to the ground. The badger didn't notice Tawnytail at all, which to this day surprises her. Her mentor struggled and fought but the badger was too large and it had the advantage. It snapped her mentors neck as Tawnytail tried to run. It spun around chasing her and biting into her hind. The pain was excruciating, but she whipped around and slashed at its eyes. Unlike her mentor she was able to break free, due to luck alone, and she ran up a tree and into an abandoned squirrels hole. The badger tried to break into the little hole but was too big and thus Tawnytail got to live another day. She climbed down from the tree very cautiously and followed her mentors old scent back towards the clan. When she got back to camp everyone flocked around her and she was lead to her mom, after recounting what happened. The Warriors held her highly for her resilience and loyalty. After that day however Tawnytail laid low, simply doing her part to keep the clan running and happy. She received a new mentor and had special training to make up for the limp she received from that day. It was rather hard at first as her limp was severe but as time went on the limp lessened and Tawnytail grew stronger. The day of her warrior ceremony she received her name like every other apprentice around, but deep inside she felt honored and promised not to let the clan down. Since that day she has pulled twice her weight and hasn't had a problem fighting or on patrols.
     Every patrol Tawnytail secretly wishes that she will find some sign of her sister. While she goes out she does her job; mentoring new apprentices, looking for herbs for the clan medicine cat. But Tawnytail secretly has her own agenda, sniffing the air more than she has to, looking for old tracks. At the end of the day she leaves the forest with her herbs or her apprentice, but she always looks over her shoulder, looking for her lost sister.
