Name: Eelpond
Age: 36 moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: MistClan
Rank: Medicine Cat
Appearance: A sleek, mostly white cat with black patches on his face around his ears, and a mostly black tail. Eelpond is also polydactyl, he has one extra toe on each front paw.
Personality: Compassionate and good-natured, Eelpond is a devoted healer to the Clan and, despite his young age, seems to have an eidetic memory for herbs and their combinations, always able to figure out what is needed to treat various ailments. He’s patient and gentle, even with the surliest of cats - many in the Clan would swear he is incapable of getting angry at all! Though this is not the case and he simply has a very high tolerance level.
Biography: Born and raised in MistClan for his entire life, Eelkit’s mother had a difficult pregnancy and he was the only surviving kit of his litter, with his two siblings being stillborn. As a result, his parents doted on him and showered him with love and affection, ensuring that the young tom grew to always treat others in the same way. He was not a particularly weak kit, but he didn’t enjoy hurting others, even if the other kits in the nursery were only play fighting, so he often found himself getting minor scrapes and bruises when he simply let them hit him instead of retaliating.
This, coupled with the strange mutation in his toes meaning his parents often asked him to be checked over, meant Eelkit spent a lot of time (in frequency, not necessarily the length of time he was in the den itself as they were only minor injuries) within the medicine den, and there he developed a fascination for the work of the Clan’s healer. The elderly medicine cat had taken a shine to his curious questions as well, and when it came time for Eelkit to become Eelpaw, instead of becoming a regular apprentice, he became the medicine cat apprentice and took to it like, well...a fish to water. Eelpaw soaked up each bit of knowledge imparted to him and his mentor was more than glad to pass the torch on to him once he got too old. Eelpond earned his full name about 6 moons ago, bestowed to him by his mentor before they retired to the elder’s den. Eelpond is now the full-fledged medicine cat to the Clan, and has taken on a new apprentice of his own to pass on his knowledge to them: I’ll put the name here when I know what they’re called LOL.
