APPEARANCE
FULL DESCRIPTION: Timberheart's most prominent feature is most certainly his size. Massive in every sense of the word, he's got some of the broadest shoulders in the clan, and is much taller than the average Tom. His chocolate colored fur is short, but very thick, and a bit rough texture-wise. His fur is slightly longer around his chest and shoulders, making him look even bigger than he actually is. His features are handsome overall, and his eyes are a pleasantly bright green, like the trees in Newleaf. He almost always wears a warm smile, revealing the true cat beneath the gruff exterior.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: A tall, burly looking Tom, with wide shoulders, and kind green eyes. His fur is short and thick, and colored a rich, deep brown.
PERSONALITY
When he was young, Timberheart had been incredibly shy and secluded, keeping to himself much of the time. It wasn't until after his apprenticeship that he gained confidence in himself, and began to use his abilities to their fullest potential.
Even still, he is relatively soft spoken, and will avoid conflict unless he deems it entirely necessary. In his eyes, there is always another option, but sometimes you are not the one who is given the choice.
Because of his patient and mellow attitude, he is able to properly think before he speaks or takes action, and seldom jumps to conclusions. However, he also has a prominent protective side, particularly towards young clanmates and his family members. Of course, he is protective of the entire clan, and even the other factions too, in some ways. All life, in his eyes, deserves to be protected from forces that would seek to destroy it.
His methods are usually relatively straightforward, and he isn't very good at deception or lying to another cat. However, years of experience have made it possible for him to do so, so long as the cat doesn't know him personally. In other words, he really can't lie to the clan, and he never has reason to, so he doesn't. Still, Tideclan cats are always sure to keep talk of surprises far from his ears.
He is also a very determined cat, deep down. Even if you think he has backed down from something, he will likely be internally solving the problem until the issue is resolved. Though never keen to start a fight or argument, he will do so to defend the code, the clan, and any innocent life or their rights as a being.
Timberheart values Loyalty, Honesty, Reliability, Ethics, Tact, Optimism, and Generosity, and strives to apply these values to his daily life. Though not always successful, as no cat is perfect, these are the values he reviews with himself as he interacts with others. He is an avid believer in the Golden Rule.

HISTORY
For much of his early life, Timberkit did not speak. The medicine cat could find nothing wrong with his vocal cords, and he had no discernable mental disability. The verdict? That Timberkit simply had nothing to say. His mother thought she'd done something wrong, his father wondered how a silent kit could possibly become a warrior. But Timberkit? Well, he payed it no mind, living his life as any kit would.
For a few moons, that was simply the way it went, and eventually, his parents grew accustomed to the idea that their son was simply... Mute.
It was a shock, four moons into his life, when he finally decided to speak. It was the most simple of phrases, but it was meowed with such precise clarity that for a moment, no one even realized he'd done it.
"Can I try that mouse?"
After that, Timberkit continued to speak, though he seldom did so. He often felt alienated due to his almost gangly limbs, and the fact that other kits called him 'Twig-kit'. It wasn't his fault his legs were so long, he was born that way!
Regardless, once he reached his sixth moon, he had begun to fill in, growing at a rapid pace throughout his apprenticeship. He performed rather well, particularly with battle training, given his large size. Though not quite as quick, his long legs made his strides very large, and he could reach high speeds when running along the beach, where he can gain momentum.
Eventually, he grew into a Warrior, and took to it like a Tideclan cat to water.
He wasn't particularly good at hunting, but he could fish, and he could fight. He was a diligent worker, giving all of his time to the clan, not having any other distractions for much of his early Warrior days. When he became a mentor, it was one of the best moments of his life, and he did his best to pass on every bit of knowledge he had to the promising young cat.
Tragedy struck shortly after his first apprentice became a Warrior. It seemed that Timberheart's mother, Mousewhisker, had passed away when a sudden wave tossed her against a jagged rock. Timberheart was devastated, and for a moon or so, became incredibly paranoid about his siblings swimming at all. Eventually, they reminded him that it wouldn't matter when their time came, they would eventually find each other in Starclan. That knowledge was a real turning point in Timberheart's faith, and his maturity, and from there he became the great and wise Warrior he is today.
