❀ History

Kitten:

As a kit, Tiger was born to Nurse Bloom of the foxgloves and Guard Lynx of the foxgloves with his littermate Kit Scorch of the foxgloves. He and Scorch both grew to admire their clan's values and social construct almost immediately when the pair opened their eyes. Both were seen as great future trainees and members of the colony just as their father Lynx had been. Lynx laid an expectation for the two and while Scorch grew to despise it, Tiger embraced it and ran with it. He was a kit of a guard for the clan! How cool was that? Wanting to be just like his father of course, Tiger became very close to his father and mother while Scorch just didn't seem to feel comfortable in the colony. As much as Tiger wanted to play guard with Scorch, his brother just didn't seem very interested. Focusing instead on growing to be the biggest warrior and strongest he could make himself with his father's guidance and teaching when the old warrior had time.

Trainee:

Finally he would become a trainee with his brother! Now he could begin to show his strength to the clan and follow in his father's footsteps. However he quickly learned that being a trainee wasn't always fun and games and he'd often be scolded for not keeping quiet and watching his tutors. Focused now to be quiet and learn, Tiger realized just how foolish he had been before to think it'd be so easy as it was as a kit learning.

Quickly the tom progressed in his battle skills whereas his hunting was lacking quite a lot more than the usual trainee. He could still catch prey for his colony but he learned naturally quicker in battle training only taking a few tries to be able to understand how to do a specific move. While he grew more and more Tiger felt as though the other tutors were beginning to struggle teaching him.
When Tiger was tasked with having to gather catmint he was given a detailed description of what it looks like and its scent but halfway through the forest, Tiger realized he had forgotten the herb he was to gather while he was distracted. Running back to camp he shamefully asked for another look at the herb and much to his surprise Silver, the gatherer tutor, was quite patient with him and re-explained. Throughout his trainee life Tiger did get better at these skills but he never fully grasped it and failed. A lot. He did even worse learning the skills necessary to be a nurse, the knowledge needed to be a nurse never hit him to put it softly. He always seemed to pick up the wrong herb but in few situations he'd actually remember what he'd learned.

Tiger began to feel upset, as though he wasn't good at anything but battle unlike some of the other trainees. The tutors were great but he always felt like some being was clouding his ability to learn. Mouse, the guard tutor, of course saw this as most cats did. Unlike the other cats though, Mouse confronted Tiger about his gloominess, why was he upset? Tiger explained rather quickly, expecting a purr of amusement or a "just try harder" comment but only got words of comfort." Everyone struggles in some things as a trainee. I was so bad at hunting that the tutors had to specifically pull me aside while the other trainees learned more. That didn't stop me from learning the best I could though. I worked hard to understand what they were saying and I didn't give up despite wanting to." Those words seemed to hit Tiger. He didn't need to try harder, he just needed to stop focusing on his failures and more on his feats.

After that day with Mouse and the brilliant words he gave to Tiger, Tiger began to focus more on his success and learned based on what he was doing right." I know what poppy seed is so maybe I can think of this herb similarly but just a little more unique." "I can pounce on a squirrel so what am I doing then that I'm not when I can't pounce on a bird?" These sort of questions quickly led Tiger to gain more of his marks as he began to succeed more. However no skill was as easy to learn as battle for him. Mouse was his tutor for battle and while Mouse treated Tiger like his kit sometimes, he was still blunt with him like he was to the other trainees.

Another task was assigned to Tiger, getting catmint again but this time Tiger focused. Breathing it's scent in and thinking of it as the best smell ever. Nodding, he took off through the forest and let his mind race with the smell in his nose. Reaching the clearing Tiger was careful walking around knowing the small herb was delicate as well as the other herbs. Quickly a lot of scents hit him and Tiger almost lost the catmint in his mind but he pushed the other scents out and began to search before finally spotting the small plant growing on the ground. Joy pulsed through him as he grabbed a mouthful and ran back to Silver. He had done it! He managed to gather catmint for the colony!
A moon later Adder, the hunting tutor, tasked him with hunting down a raven. Not hard but it was a bit of a big bird and the scent was a bit distinct compared to a dove for example. Tiger ran into the forest with determination and slowed as he reached Beetles wood. The perfect place for birds to get easy food but he didn't see a raven. Refusing to give up he waited. One would have to land sooner or later and it wasn't like they were uncommon. After a short time, a small raven appeared in the sky and Tiger shrunk not wanting to scare his chance away. Thankfully he was well hidden and the bird landed on the log, beginning to peck at the beetles and grubs within the old bark. Not letting his excitement throw him off the tom began to stalk before leaping at the bird and pinning it down quickly killing it. He caught it! He caught a raven! Running back to camp he dropped the bird happily at Adders paws and saw a small gleam of pride in the old toms eyes as he complimented his catch.

Continuing to succeed, even in nursing, Tiger was given a task to take on Mouse as his task for guarding. Mouse was to be treated like he was an invading colony's cat trying to get past him to the colony Tiger was to protect. He struggled to imagine his friend as an enemy he pushed past his memories and only looked at Mouse as an enemy before hearing the command to go as Mouse leaped. All his time training swelled within him and quickly Tiger met Mouse on his hind legs and swung him to the ground where he pinned him temporarily before his legs were kicked out from under him. A typical move but he wasn't quite expecting to be immediately kicked to the ground as well. Mouse raced for the watching trainees acting as his colony Tiger leaped up and tore towards him, managing to get himself in front of the others with a spray of dirt. Mouse hissed, swiping at Tiger but Tiger ducked just in time and leaped at the tom head on. Locked in battle with Mouse, Tiger batted the toms head with his paws and kicked his stomach while the older tom pressed his paws up and forced Tiger off him once again. Getting tired, Tiger let Mouse leap at him this time but ducked his body and turned around to face Mouse quickly and leaped onto his shoulders. The old tom fell to the ground quickly and Tiger held him down. Mouse mewled his defeat and Tiger got off him with a sigh of relief. It was a quick fight but Tiger had won! He'd done it!
While he celebrated his new marks Tiger saw Mouse looking at him with pride before walking up to him bringing up his success in battle and even hinting at Tiger being a future guard for the colony. Enthusiastic about the tutor for guarding bringing the topic of becoming a guard up Tiger felt excited like his world just brightened more. Of course he wanted to be a guard! He wanted to be like his father! Why wouldn't he want to be a guard and protect his colony?

Adult:

Becoming Guard Tiger of the foxgloves, Tiger found himself become prouder of himself than he had ever been in his life. Unfortunately, at his ceremony with his brother, Scorch felt he didn't belong in the colony as it just didn't seem like his place. Leaving the colony, Tiger felt grief as though his brother had just died and called out to him hoping to sway his brother into staying but to no result. His brother was gone and despite his pride in becoming a guard for his colony he felt as though he had lost a part of him when Scorch left but he had to keep going in life. Today he still wonders where his brother is. Maybe he was a rogue? Despite this though, Tiger is a fiercely loyal tom for the Foxgloves and adores his colony.

Rp example: Ears twitching he turned his head with a pout,” funny joke.” He mewed a little bitterly. Pausing he felt guilt rise in him as Specklebright spoke,” you didn’t do anything wrong... I just made a comment I shouldn’t have.” He rushed out, wanting to explain himself a bit more.” I meant that you’re a pretty kind hearted cat. I-I just couldn’t form the words to be able to.” Sighing inside he was thankful that the tom didn’t hear his comment and relaxed a bit before narrowing his eyes at the warrior.” You are however looking a bit different. What’s that?” Pressing his paw to the tom’s chest he lifted it back and then quickly pressed it to Specklebright’s head playfully messing up what fur was there.
