Timberleg
-Field Colony Mentor-in-Training
Parents: Amberyes and Volefur
Siblings: Lilyfire and Peach
Timber and Fire were the first litter that Ambereyes and Volefur had together. While Ambereyes decided to stay with her kittens as a permanent Keeper for the colony, Volefur couldn’t have shown much less interest in his newborn kittens if he had tried. Timber was sad to not have his father around much, but at least there were so many other wonderful cats to look up to! Timber was much like any kitten, playful and curious, but even from a young age, he enjoyed watching and learning from what he observed adults doing.
When little Night was found on the edge of Field Colony territory, Timber was the first to make friends, at least, after she was no longer confined to Mistysnow’s den. Night had a lot to catch up on to be a New-Claw with him and his sister, Fire. She didn’t know anything about being in a Colony! But that was okay, because it meant that Timber could show off all his favorite places to play, and tell Night all his favorite stories, and show off how fast he could run and pounce things! Becoming friends with Night, and teaching her all the things the Keepers had taught them, was perhaps the first time Timber considered making Mentor his future path.
Being Goldenpelt’s New-Claw was what really spurred him to become a Mentor. His days following Goldenpelt and Spottedshadow as she learned to become a Mentor have always been some of his favorite times. Hunting, patrolling, playing and battle training with Fire and Night, and the idea of teaching New-Claws all the cool things that his teachers taught him seemed like the perfect way to contribute to his Colony.
