PERSONALITY & DESCRIPTION: A quiet kit who grew into a shy apprentice, Bayflower’s life was turned upside down when his home flooded and his mother drowned as the Clan fled. Deep in mourning and stuck in a strange place, Bayflower shut down emotionally, barely speaking or eating until his Clan returned to their territory. During the ordeal, Bayflower spent a long time in the medicine cat’s den and grew interested in the practice of healing, eventually deciding to forgo his warrior training to become a medicine cat apprentice. It didn’t take long for Bayflower to realize that he’d found his calling. A born healer and caretaker, Bayflower will help any cat in need, regardless of their allegiance. He is a gentle tom who assumes the best of others until given ample evidence to the contrary. Bayflower is slow to anger, yet when earned, his wrath is absolute. Bayflower detests violence, since he has seen up close the devastating aftermath, yet he will not hesitate to use it in defense of those he is sworn to heal and protect. A deep believer in StarClan, Bayflower will follow the will of his warrior ancestors before the command of any living cat. Bayflower is known to shut down in a crisis, although because of his medicine cat duties, Bayflower is sometimes overwhelmed by stressful situations, but he has learned to put his anxieties aside so he may perform his duties. Bayflower cherishes his family and is always delighted to see them, no matter the circumstance. He considers his littermate Otterspirit to be his best friend and confidant. No matter how busy their lives get, the two always make time to share tongues and stories.
