CROOKED-JAWED TORTOISESHELL WITH OLIVE EYES AND A MISSING BACK LEFT PAW / TOYHOUSE
— autumn leaves against blackest night, berryheart's flame-flecked fur is perhaps the only conventionally visually appealing aspect of his being. lean and ungraceful, he walks with an ambling, clumsy gait given his three-footed hop of a walk, and his run is much slower than most. his frame is on the smaller side, carried by well-muscled legs from moons of training his balance and energetic fighting skills. berryheart's tortoiseshell pelt is purposefully scruffy, for he dislikes how he looks when immaculately groomed. on all three of his feet, his toes are coloured with snow- as is his muzzle and a splash upon his chest. upon his features is set a crooked maw, long-broken with two teeth that stick out. when rare words leave him, the wonky curvature of his maw shows off his shambolic mouthful of fangs. berry's eyes (the left of which is lazy and always half-lidded) are a dull olive hue, windows to his soul that never carry much emotion. stony-faced despite his generally good mood, it is always difficult to tell how the tom really feels.
↳ his crooked jaw slurs his speech only in lapses of concentration- thus not often
↳ suffers from mild asthma, present most in extreme temperatures -
AN INTELLIGENT, RELAXED TOM WHO WOULD BE AN ASSET IF HE WEREN'T SO FICKLE
( + ) observant, relaxed, precise, thick-skinned, talented, decisive, perceptive, logical
( / ) quiet, stoic, whimsical, honest,
( - ) impractical, oblivious to others' feelings, overindulgent, unreliable, easily bored, unmotivated
↳ his cool exterior can sometimes unintentionally melt into apathy, which seldom spurs innocent but tangible rudeness.
↳ has great difficulty remembering names, so assigns nicknames based on the first thing to pop into his head.
↳ sleeps a lot and sometimes dozes off when being spoken to.
↳ undeniably talented but puts no work into putting those talents into good use
↳ unexpectedly energetic and bouncy fighting style -

BEFORE THE CLANS
berry was found on the marsh group's territory at only a moon old, the sole survivor of a litter ravaged by a fox. in the scuffle, he had lost a paw and his jaw had been badly broken. as the only queen in the nursery at the time, howling wind decided to take him in and raise him as part of her youngest litter, something berry knows full well about- but he does not care to question his mother's love for him.
early in his life, around five moons old, berry became very aware of the fact that all of his littermates were toms. soon, berry realised he was a tom too- an announcement that his entire family received kindly, giving him great support, and to this day is the only time berry has ever cried. he spent most of his life before the great battle gathering knowledge- he became very adept at honey-gathering and making nests, and proved to be an extremely strong hunter and fighter when he decided to apply himself. with fickle interests, berry has had a chance to learn a lot about the world.
