Songskip

Appearance
Songskip is a small, fluffy and gentle tom with a small, dainty build, small paws, a plumed tail, and flopped over ears. He has off-white, almost beige fur with rough, slightly tabby-ish siamese markings and gentle, large gray eyes.

Personality
Songskip is a very gentle yet energetic cat, who is usually very scatter-brained and messy. His den is always scattered with herbs, which he says 'he'll get to it, he just hadn't gotten the time for it yet'. He's pretty much a coward, which is all bark and no bite, which by bark, I mean trembling like a leaf and a shaky, brittle voice. He doesn't deal with fights very well, physical and verbal alike, and hates yelling. He gets frustrated easily and is prone to crying instead of yelling.

Kithood
Songkit was born to Daisynose and Falconwhisker of MarshClan, along with his three siblings. He got his name from when he was born; he was a very loud and fussy kit and only calmed down when Daisynose sang lullabies to him. He was taught very well by his parents and was very affectionate to his family.

Songkit visited the medicine den often; he was intrigued by the idea of herbs and healing and thought it was pretty cool. He respected and admired the medicine cat, Otterstream, and soon was presented with the idea of becoming the medicine cat apprentice when he was six moons old. He excitedly accepted.

Apprenticeship
Songpaw was apprenticed to Otterstream, the medicine cat, and he was ecstatic. He was very energetic and often cluttered the medicine den, but calmed down a bit as he aged and was a fast learner. He always made up songs to calm down patients and skipped around while doing so, in an attempt to cheer them up and make them laugh.

And that's exactly what his name was when he got to be 12 moons of age. He had learned a lot and was a cheerful cat, which earned him his name: Songskip.

Medicine Cat Life
Songskip was happy about his name and what it meant. He was a dutiful medicine cat and still is, and helped out Otterstream whenever he could, because he was getting old. Eventually, Otterstream retired, and Songskip was the only medicine cat.

But he wasn't sad about it. He was happy Otterstream was spending his days in peace and didn't take all the new responsibilities as burdens, though he did start to get frustrated easily. He doesn't like showing it and it usually flares up when he's by himself.

One day, when he was looking for Canyonstar, he ran into the leader's mate, Basilpool, and made a fool of himself. Good job, Songskip. But then Basilpool started getting sad about her dead son, and he got uncomfortable and left without saying anything. Way to go.

He doesn't really do anything right now. Just vibin', healing sick and injured cats and whatnot. Medicine cat stuff.

Other Info

 * Songskip is really fluffy, which is weird because his grandparents and parents aren't very fluffy (well, Robintalon is a little bit fluffy).

Trivia

 * Songskip was originally planned to be non-binary, but he was changed to a tom instead.
