Name: Reedvoice
Gender: Tom
Age: 91 Moons
Rank: Elder (He retired early because of his voice)
Clan: TreeClan

Picture:

Physical Description: White shorthair fur, with a medium gray face and tail. He's very small, and has always been on the skinny side. He has a scar across his throat that was healed by the Clan's medicine cat (his adopted sister Fawnflower to be exact), which has made his voice very weak. His eyes are a light blue

Personality: He's nice enough to cats as long as he doesn't have to talk. In fact, ever since he recived the scratch to the throat, he hasn't talked much. He is irritable towards apprentices that beg him for stories, and will tell them to leave him alone. If you understand his personal sign language, he's very friendly, though. But only very few cats ever figure out which motion means what, so he's become lonesome because of that. He's become slightly depressed because of that.

History: Reedvoice was born Reedkit. He was a very bouncy, playful kit. Shortly after his and his sister, Morningkit's birth, one of the queens, Daisyfoot died. His mother adopted Fawnkit, Daisyfoot's kit. Reedkit, Morningkit, and Fawnkit got along quite well, until Fawnkit became distant and aloof for an unknown reason. Fawnkit was apprenticed before Reedkit, so he lost most of his friendship with her (for now). About three moons later, Reedkit and Morningkit were apprenticed. Reedpaw was a good apprentice, and became Reedfoot at the normal time. About five-sixths of the way through his warrior-ship, he received a scratch to the throat. It wasn't fatal, but it would have been if his adoptive sister Fawnflower hadn't been nearby, gathering herbs. She patched him up, and sent him back to camp, to get ____paw (the apprentice's name is whoever the TreeClan medicine cat will be) to finish healing him. Fawnflower went to go and find some honey to soothe his throat, but the group of rogues that had scratched Reedfoot's throat killed her before she returned to camp. The medicine cat healed him, but his voice was very weak. After only a few moons more of being a warrior, Reedfoot retired. The leader changed his name to Reedvoice, because he had showed great bravery in fighting the rogues that had killed Fawnflower. He is now an elder, but has become a bit distant because the only cat who can completely understand his personal sign language is Morningdove, his sister, a senior warrior. His former apprentice, Dreamheart, can partially understand his sign language.

In Character (IC): "Reedfoot?"
Reedfoot raised his head slightly. "Fawnflower? Is that you?" His voice rasped softly.
Fawnflower located her adopted brother quickly. "Reedfoot! Your throat!" She looked around. "I'll go and find some cobwebs."
Reedfoot lowered his head, waiting for Fawnflower to return. She did, quickly, and placed the cobwebs on his scratched throat.
"You're lucky it's not deep. ____paw can put some herbs on it, and it'll probably heal. But I'm not so sure about your voice," Fawnflower said. "I'll go and find some honey. It will soothe your throat, and I bet it hurts."
"It does," Reedfoot said.
"Now go back to camp!" Fawnflower commanded. "You need ____paw to look at that throat."
"Okay. Thanks, Fawnflower." Reedfoot slowly got to his paws.
Fawnflower watched her brother make his slow way back towards camp. Reedfoot didn't glance back, not knowing that this was going to be the last time he ever saw his adopted sister.

Other: He never mated, and now he's an elder.

Alrighty, looks good!

(I suppose any other leader has to accept this, since it's in your Clan. XP)

Um, actually, he's still young enough to be a Warrior! 168 moons is the recomended age of retirement.
