Blaze



"What are you doing to my sister?"

-Ginger to Bounce, in the forest

General Description
Blaze is a dark ginger tom with green eyes and broad shoulders.

History/Future
Blaze and his sister Petal make up the third and final litter of Fern and Shade (now deceased). Their family has always had a long-standing tradition; when they reach six moons of age, they are sent out into the world to fend for themselves. After traveling for a while, the two found a home in the forest. They are the first litter known from their family to stick together without separating for any period of time. This may mean they're the most interconnected of the three litters. Blaze was originally named Ginger, but changed his name.

Blaze also has six older siblings. From the first, Willow, Splash, and Oak, who he has never met (also, they don't know that Ginger and Petal exist). The second litter consists of River, Jay, and Ember, who he did meet and he does miss. He is very fiercely defensive of his sister and littermate, Petal. This may come from the fact that she is his only family that he is in contact with. Because of this, he can come off as bold and rather harsh. He is also sharp-tongued and quick to judge. Deep down, however, he has a good heart, and is a very caring young tom.

He has made his first appearance being seen attacking Bounce (after he attacked Petal, after Petal fell out of a tree and startled Bounce and Ray). Eventually, the four cats work together to try to cure Petal's injury. Ginger is seen mistakenly identifying herbs, corrected by Ray. The two pairs join up to start a group, which will eventually become Mossclan, the forest clan, named because of the moss that covers the earth. He doesn't immediately like Bounce, though he does get on with Ray.

He is showing signs that he may make a good medicine cat apprentice.

He and Petal are separated from Bounce and Ray, but find them again the next day, along with a new addition, Dawn. Bounce and Ray go off to collect herbs, while Petal and Dawn complain about toms and Ginger collects bindweed, moss, and cobwebs. Bounce and Ray return, guiding the others to a clearing that may serve as their camp. While there, they meet Fog. Ginger reveals that he doesn't like his name. After some thought, his name is changed to Blaze.
