He likes small talk and gossiping as well as relaxing in the sun with his friends. Age has taught him that it's often better to listen to others than talk all the time, although sometimes he still catches himself taking up too much space in a conversation. However, despite his cheer, Gannetberry has seen many deaths and realizes that his Clanmates may die any day, including him. this leads to some impulsive decisions that might not be wise. The elder simply wants to make the most of the time he has left, so he otten ignores problems and chooses to distract himself from them. Great at storytelling and naturally caring, Gannetberry is a favourite among kits and apprentices. This doesn't mean that he has no flaws though, as he is quite prone to becoming jelaous and boasting. Along with his impulsive nature comes a strong anger that is easily set off. It seems like Gannetberry is either happy or angry, there doesn't tend to be an in-between for him. History Gannetberry had a good kithood, with caring parents. He was in a large litter and often had to amuse himself and his siblings. This was most often achieved by him telling stories. Due to the popularity that this granted him, he became more outgoing. He had an easy apprenticeship with a laid-back mentor. It was a pretty good fit, although it is for certain that some potential was lost in Gannetberry. His natural talents for hunting faded away when he wasn't pushed further, leading him to become average. Gannetberry had a mate once, Foxstorm. The red tom was more energetic and ambitious, sometimes tiring himself too much. Even though Gannetberry, liked to talk to kits and care for them, they never found a calling to be parents together. When Gannetberry was 55 moons old, Foxstorm died by starvation. Gannetberry mentored a single apprentice throughout his life. She didn't accomplish any great feats and eventually died because of her own foolishness. Because of this, Gannetberry never accepted the mentorship of another apprentice, although he liked to help them train and improve. He still does this sometimes.
