Name: Brackenfur
Age: 38 moons
Gender: Male
Clan: Riverclan
Position: Deputy
Description: A strongly built cat with long fur. Brackenfur's pelt has alternate tones of brown, the darkest of the shades covering his back and tail. This dark brown, however, dissipates as it nears the neck, turning into a lighter color and covering the head. Brownish-yellow spots cover certain parts of his back, as if he had licked the dark brown off when grooming. His clear face has dark brown markings, too, one starting at each corner of his amber eyes and ending well below his hears. There are more, shorter, stripes cascading down his forehead and ending just as they come close to the eye's area. His graceful, yet strong legs are covered with fur that is a mixture of the brownish-yellow and a lighter shade of brown; the colors end at the paws, though, leaving all four of them as white as his chest fur and underbelly are. Brackenfur's chin also has certain tinges of white as does his snout, his dark pink nose outlined by black and surrounded with short and long, white whiskers alike. His long tail has the same pattern his ears do, they are both dark with slight tinges of light brown and white.
Personality: Brackenfur is a quiet tom. He always speaks in a quiet tone of voice, never raising it unless it is absolutely necessary. He has a great patience, which is often tested. He is strict, however, when mistakes are made, and is mightily stubborn. Brackenfur knows where his loyalties lay, and never disobeys his leader, even if he doesn't agree with the decisions made. He strives to protect the clan and is against letting outsiders join; he does, however, make a few exceptions. Above all, he is wise; more a listener than a talker.
History: Brackenfur was born in the outskirts of Riverclan. His mother, Fallenstep, was a Riverclan warrior. His father, however, had been Rogue. Keeping their meetings secret, Fallenstep became pregnant with Brackenfur's father. When asked whose kit's she was carrying, Fallenstep remained silent, never revealing who it was she had been with. She had been out with her Rogue at the border of Riverclan when the time came. The Rogue, mightily nervous at what was happening in front of him, went to look for one of the cats he hanged around with to help Fallenstep. When he came back, however, it was already too late. Fallenstep lay dead on her side, two kits with her, but her stomach still swelled. One, of the two kits, breathed, the Rogue noticed with a deep pang. Then, his ears twitched, hearing movements near him. With no time to pick up his son, the Rogue left Fallenstep and Brackenfur behind, never to see them again.

Brackenfur was raised like any other cat in Riverclan, nobody ever saying anything to him about his parentage other than, "Your mother was a great Riverclan warrior, and she died when you arrived." But, who was his father? Brackenfur never knew. He was nurtured by Poppyleaf, a queen and the cat he viewed then as his mother. There were those warriors, however, that suspected his parentage, and, of course, gave him the narrow eye and cold shoulder. Brackenkit, not understanding this behavior back then, grew to be an apprentice with natural skills at fighting. Mudtail, his mentor, taught him the ways of the warriors and how to hunt and fish. He treated him like more than a pupil, and in Brackenpaw's eyes, he was his father.

Years passed and Brackenfur proved himself to be an indispensable warrior, having inherited his mother's skill at fighting and his Rogue father's agility at hunting. It was when the former deputy, Silverwhisker, passed away in a fox attack that the leader named him deputy. He has been so for the past 3 moons.
