Brackenfoot
Former Oak Colony Second
Kitten: Dawnfrost
Mate: Flamecloud
Brackenfoot was a stoic tom, he never said very much at Moonlight Meetings and he was very practical and tactical; that is all most cats really know about him. His own colony was closer with him, sometimes some would even see him smile… He always came across as angry or prideful to cats from other colonies, when really he was just quiet and often annoyed at others’ excitement for chatter after business was finished. Elmtail chose him as Second because of his seriousness, the Captain felt that it would help keep himself in line with what was needed.
Brackenfoot developed an illness over his lifetime that made him irritable, but even before that, he had little time for anything more than his job as an Envoy. His young years were a busy time for Envoys, as they were often the leaders of strike teams in the conflict with Marsh Colony. Peacetime brought free time and Brackenfoot thought that maybe he could try to settle down… Flamecloud was willing to give him a chance, she may have even loved him.
When their daughter, Dawn, was born, Brackenfoot found it difficult to connect to her, or even to Flamecloud. His mind was always stuck on thoughts of the past, his illness or Marsh Colony’s possible betrayal of their new peace treaty. He became estranged from his family while looking for more meaning in his life; he felt that now that the war was over, he had no place anymore. Perhaps he would have found what he was looking for had he lived to see his daughter become Captain.
