image supplied.
but he is a rather large cat, larger than most. w/ big paws and a thick, bushy tail.

PERSONALITY//

The size of Addertooth makes him seem intimidating or mean to many, but he is almost exactly the opposite. Being the perfect example to the saying 'Never read a book by its cover', he's a huge softy with an even softer spot for kittens. He wishes daily he could have a litter with a she-cat that he could call his own, but he hasn't had much luck with the females.
This medicine cat is a strong believer in honor and respect. He will never break a rule from the Warrior's Code and he will never treat a cat with respect unless that cat deserves it. He's also not afraid to speak his mind and stand up for others, and this has caused him trouble at a few Gatherings.

character traits; loyal, respectful, harshly honest, great listener, forgets things easily, warm & big heart.

EXPERIENCE//

Everything has always been all well and good for this VertigoClan Medicine cat, his mother and father treated him well as a kit and he's living his dream of finally being the medicine cat he's always wanted to be, but there are secrets in his past that have yet to be uncovered.
It all started with the mating of Eagletail and Willowclaw, a lovely couple, apprentice sweethearts, everyone in the clan knew they were going to end up together. All seemed well with them on the outside, but on the inside of their relationship, everything was falling down. Willowclaw was starting to take advantage of her mate, yelling at him to do this or that, and Eagletail was sick of it. Then one day, they both just snapped.
Willow had been ordering him around all day, but then out of no where (for what it seemed to Willowclaw) he said No while they were out on a border patrol. She was furious has him and she attacked him. Lashing out at him, she was pregnant at the time though, almost ready to give birth, so her attacks didn't do much good, though they still caused some damage. Then, Eagletail swiped back, ripping her muzzle and causing her to bleed. She yowled out in pain, clawing him back, ripping his neck fur, adrenaline pumping through her, giving her energy out of no where. The she-cat tried biting him, landing on the side of his neck she had scratched earlier, opening the wound even more.
All of that commotion had brought attention to a nearby hunting patrol, once they saw what was going on, they sent a cat few cats over to break the fight up, then brought them to the VertigoClan camp, & seeing the beat up Eagletail and the barely wounded Willlowclaw, they had figured what happened for themselves without an explanation
They sent Eagletail to the Medicine den and told Willowclaw she would be leaving the Clan after she had her litter, and she did just that. The rouge gave birth to four kits, Adderkit, Treekit, Fallenkit, and Willowkit.
( Blackfire, Treesong, Fallenstone, and Willowfeather )

For his latter life though, he grew up with his four siblings, and a foster mother, Dapplemask. She was as sweet as honey when it came to him and his siblings. She encouraged them all in everything they wanted to do. Treekit, Fallenkit and Willowkit were encouraged to be warriors and take the path of bravery. Dapplemask would actually study the kits, seeing what they wanted to do. She would notice the three were always fighting and trying to hunt bugs at an early age, while Adderkit was always studying the plants around him and helping people. They all started on their path to their dreams with apprenticeship, all being the things they had lived and dreamed for daily as kits.
He then became a medicine cat, finally! After moons of remembering herbs and helping out his successor, he was ready and he took the oath.
And then he met her, Goldeneye. She was beautiful. She had the most amazing personality and he had wondered why he had never seen her around before. They had started talking, and he even took the chance of mating with her and having kittens, but he couldn't bring himself to break that rule. He promised that he loved her, and always will, which she promised in return. She even promised being with him without any kits, but he knew he couldn't tie her down, so she told her to move on, and she did. Now she is a queen with a litter on the way with his brother, Fallenstone.
He swears that is the biggest mistake of his life sometimes, but he has moved on, and the feelings for her are there, but fading.
Addertooth now resides with in the medicine den with his apprentice, teaching her all she needs to know just in case he takes a trip to the stars anytime soon.

OTHER//

he loves swimming & is great at battling.

Addertooth stared at the water as it rushed by. It was the beginning of New-Leaf, meaning the snow from the mountains was starting to melt, causing the river quicker currents and icy cold water. He knew this would put his whole body to the test, and he was ready to take this challenge. He dunked his front paws in slowly, getting a feel for the cool water. Addertooth decided to make things quick and easy, he didn't want to stall this. Pawing the water with his front paws and shaking his rear haunches, he dove into the water being drawn a ways down stream by the current before he could take a breath. He marked the spot of which he jumped in, and let the river carry him down because his goal was to be able to swim back to his starting point without having to go to the side of the river for stability.
About a hundred feet down the river, Addertooth figured it was far enough and he started to pump his legs. As first he didn't move at all, but soon he was making a slow and steady pace. He was doing completely fine until one of his hind paws stepped on an algae covered rock and slipped back, causing his head to sink under water and his body to be pushed back along with the river. He tried swimming up to get a few breaths of oxygen, but he could barely get one. Addertooth started to panic. He thrashed around, trying to get to the surface, but his shortage of breath started bringing his energy level down. Addertooth thought for a moment, and then he figured out a plan, hopefully before he would run out of breath which would happen any second now. He let his body drift to the bottom where is hind legs touched down, and sprang back up. He torpedoed to the top where he started kicking furiously, trying to get to the side of the river where he got a paw up, and then another paw and he was able to slowly bring himself up to the bank..
He knew he would be back for the challenge, but he didn't know how soon. Paranoia and fear were already setting in..

I know there isn't a river here, but i had already had this post written up. :c
