HISTORY
Kit || Berrykit is more soft spoken amongst his siblings. Much more clingy to his moms and prefers to let them handle most things for him. He doesn't really bicker with his siblings and if things get too rowdy, he will hide behind moms or adult cats around. If Thornkit is up to a prank and urges Berrykit to join, he will begrudgingly participate but tends to take a back seat if it starts to make him too uncomfortable which doesn't take long. Berrykit is a bit anxious when not backed by his family and isn't entirely confident in his own abilities making him prefer not to try things. This has led to a more lazy disposition though he still gets motivated by new things or the promise of positive results (no way to fail). He will insist on help with things he can for sure do on his own just to get started with a task or to be sure he can do it. He very much enjoys the company of others and if the other cat treats him or his siblings well, he will treat them well and be a loyal friend. He may consider more cats to be his friend than think of him in the same way. Berrykit isn't the most quick whitted but he is happy just to be present with his family. He do just be vibing
Apprenticeship || Berrypaw had a fairly uneventful start to his apprenticeship apart from his sibling, Dahliakit, passing away due to illness. Berrypaw got along wonderfully well with his mentor Gorseheart who was very patient through all of Berry’s many worries and caveats. It seemed that Berry didn’t branch away from his siblings and didn’t make any friends with the other apprentices (most of which passed away). Despite not having the greatest esteem in himself or motivation, Berrypaw grew to enjoy his apprenticeship and helping his clan. He even stepped up to defend himself and his family when the clan camp was overrun with rogues (which were still mainly fought off by his moms and the rest of the clan but don’t tell him that).
Warriorhood || Berry finally received his warrior name and became Berrykiss for his sweet and caring nature. Though soon after, Blossompaw became ill and passed away some moons later. Berry was absolutely devastated by her loss and retreated more to himself. The blow of his sister’s passing only became worse with the news that his two remaining siblings, Junipershade and Thornfrost, had deserted the clan. His siblings have not been seen since and are presumed dead.
Berrykiss was feeling lost in his grief until he received an apprentice named Lavenderpaw. Her gentle nature reminded him of his sister Blossompaw and he was determined to do everything to help Lavender grow to a fantastic warrior despite not being confident in many of his own skills. He disciplined her gently and let her enjoy her life as a clan apprentice. He is very proud of her even after she graduated from his apprentice to a warrior.
Berrykiss has no friends and doesn’t know what to do with himself now that his apprentice is a warrior and his siblings are gone.
