Name: Tumblefoot
Age: 13 Moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: Mistclan
Rank: Warrior
Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance: Tumblefoot is a large chocolate snowshoe with bright blue eyes. His eyes are very expressive and you can always tell what he is thinking or feeling. Whether he's happy, sad, or angry you can see it all in his eyes. He has large paws, one would think with such large paws and claws he would be a great fighter. His fur is short but very thick which keeps him nice and warm during the cold winter months.
Personality: Tumblefoot is a very friendly and playful cat. He is often seen playing with the kits or play fighting with the apprentices. He's very much like a kid himself. He is eager to please especially Snowstorm who he would do anything for. He knows Snowstorm can take care of herself but he's always checking the freshkill before she eats to make sure it's fresh and not going bad. Tumblefoot is always smiling and laughing and can usually get others even if they're in a bad mood to smile and laugh along with him. He is good natured and he understands the need to break the rules when you are a kit or apprentice so he usually tries to figure a solution out so no one will get in trouble or hurt.
History: Tumblefoot was born to Tinystep and Rockfur. His mother is very small in comparison to his father who is huge like himself. Tumblekit was born first hours before his sister Mintkit. The medicine cat was afraid they would lose Tinystep and the unborn kit. But eventually his sister was born, she was very small and weak so her mother had to help her to get her nursing. Even as a newborn Tumblekit somehow knew something was wrong with his sister and was careful around her. Though he often tumbled around when he tried to crawl somewhere for he had awful balance. Which is why his mother and father decided to name him Tumble. Tumblekit opened his eyes first and began to walk before Mintkit though clumsily and if Tinystep didn't put her paw out to balance him he probably would have tumbled into his sister more then once.
When he was about a moon old his moms best friend Cloudfeather kitted and gave birth to a single kit. After the queen gave birth to her he slipped out of his mothers reach and padded over to her. Tilting his head to the side he smiled. "Her fur looks as soft as the snow I've seen on the warriors coming in from outside." Coudfeather purred and said that is what she would name her daughter. Tumblekit felt proud that the had given her, her new name. "Welcome to Mistclan," he mewed in a high pitch tone. He leaned over to nuzzle the tiny kit but his mom quickly scooped him up and carried him back to the nest. As the days went past Snowkit would often come over and tease him for being so clumsy and he would then purposely tumble into her and start laughing. Mintkit continued to be weak and though her eyes were open and she could walk she often had to stop and catch her breath after taking just a few steps. Tumblekit would always tell her not to push herself.
One night shortly after they turned two moons old Tumblekit woke up to his mother crying. He blinked his eyes open and found his father and Cloudfeather Snowkit's mom around his own mother. He asked what was wrong and his parents turned to look at him. His father curled his tail around him and drew him near. His father looked sad. Just then he looked around and noticed Mintkit was gone. Tumblekit jumped up and ran around yelling for her. Rockfur had to pick him up and place him between his paws where he told him that Mintkit has passed away during the night and was now with Starclan. He refused to believe it for days but when she never returned he knew it was right. And for a while, there was nothing Snowkit could even do to cheer him up. His parents began to get worried but the Med cat told them to give him time. And with time he did slowly begin to return to his old self. But unknowingly his self conscious had made a vow to never let another kit die alone again. He returned to his cheerful goofy self and played with Snowkit all day. The two were best friends, almost like siblings at least that's what he thought as a kit and for a while as an apprentice as well.
Moons passed and Tumblekit was made into an apprentice and given Honeyeye as a mentor. She had a heck of a time trying to get him to stop goofing around and get serious. Even when he was serious and was trying to hunt he would mess it up by tripping over his own paws. Whenever he had a free moment he would go to the nursery and teach Snowkit what he learned that day whether it was hunting or fighting. Though half the time he messed it up because of his big old paws. Finally a moon later Snowkit was made Snowpaw and they were den mates once more. It was good to have his best friend and the closest thing to a sister he had now that Mintkit was gone.
As apprentices Snowpaw and Tumblepaw grew closer it wasn't until he was about nine moons old that he realized he no longer thought of her as a sister. It was Snowpaw who told him not to get upset whenever he ruined the hunting patrol with his clumsiness. She worked with him during their free time to help him get rid of his clumsiness. She would have him walk a straight line through camp and every time he slipped, tripped or stepped on something she would make him restart. His mentor began doing this as well so by the time the sunset he was so tired he didn't have enough energy to talk. Eventually, though all the training worked and though he would never be as nimble as Snowpaw or other warriors he no longer frightened the prey away and was able to finally catch his first prey.
At twelve moons old the two were separated once more as Tumblefoot was made a warrior. He hated that he would have to sleep in a different place then beside Snowpaw. When all he wanted was to have Snowpaw at his side. After receiving his name he padded up to Snowpaw and told her it was all thanks to her. As he looked her into the eyes and thanked her he suddenly realized something. He realized how beautiful she was. His heart began to beat faster and faster and that was the first time he realized that he was fallen in love with the she-cat who had been his best friend since they were kits. He was afraid to tell her how he felt at first especially since she was still an apprentice. But a moon later when Snowpaw received her name and became Snowstorm he called her name louder than any other then ran up and nuzzled her. Once they had a moment alone he told her he loved her and never wanted to be separated from her side again.
