Description: Earthfoot has thick, dark brown fur, and his paws and belly are slightly darker than that. His tail doesn't have quite as much fur as the rest of his body. He is pretty much the average size for a cat his age, and has strong legs with which he can run very fast. He is muscular, despite the assumption that most medicine cats aren't. He would have made a very strong, powerful warrior if he hadn't chosen the path that he did. Unlike having the light brown tabby fur of his brother, Earthfoot inherited his looks from his father and not his mother. He has the same dark brown fur and muscular build as Eagleclaw. He has amber eyes which match Eagleclaw's and make him closely resemble his father.
Personality: Earthfoot's personality comes across as quiet and efficient, but spend enough time around him and you will see otherwise. He is thoughtful and contemplative and takes his job seriously. He can be kind, but harsh at the same time, usually without meaning to. He has a very short temper for cats who don't appreciate the things they have and who don't pull their weight. While he has a hard and sometimes cold nature when it comes to the important parts of his job, he dislikes conflict and tries to stay away from it as much as possible. Also reluctant to physically hurt any cat, even in battle, there have been times when he wondered if he would have turned out differently if he had become a warrior. His training as a medicine cat had led him to believe fighting was something to be frowned upon even more than the warriors did. Usually laid back in nature, however he can snap into a completely different state if his skills are called for.
History: As a kit, Earthfoot was much quieter than his obnoxious brother Birchkit. He liked to take in everything around him, then just sit back and laugh as his brother charged into things headfirst. On many occasions he would sneak out of camp to explore the forest, only to be caught by Birchkit following him. He was often paying so much attention to everything around
him that he missed the obvious things.
During Leaf-fall, when he was five moons old, tragedy struck. He hadn't noticed it much earlier, but Birchkit and his mother had been coughing badly. By the time he realized it and told the medicine cat, they already had whitecough. Less than two weeks later they died of greencough, Earthkit only having suffered a minor case of whitecough.
Earthkit was devastated by the death of his closest family. Knowing that he was almost at his sixth moon, he convinced the medicine cat to take him as his apprentice. He had been thinking
no more than a kit, his mind in the present and not thinking about the future, and swore to himself that he would never again let anyone die of greencough. He trained very hard as an apprentice, earning his full Clan name at seventeen moons. The old medicine cat died only a few moons after, leaving Earthfoot as ThunderClan's medicine cat.
He never had really planned on becoming a medicine cat, but events had spun out of control and he just sort of... ended up there. He doesn't have a special passion for the job but takes it seriously nonetheless.
