Mottlefoot

I have a new Warriors OC! His name is Mottlefoot.

Residence: Dark Forest/Place of No Stars; ThunderClan (before death).

Description: Short black tom with white spots and patches, shortfurred, green eyes and a black nose. Medicine cat (before death).

Apprentice: Chickenpaw (before death).

Backstory: He was a ThunderClan medicine cat who grew to hate his leader, Cormorantstar, because he would offer excess herbs to the other clans when needed. Mottlefoot believed that ThunderClan should keep the excess herbs in case of emergency, and felt that helping the other clans made ThunderClan seem weak. Mottlefoot decided to kill his leader by giving him a false sign from Starclan that led him to a fox. What Mottlefoot didn't know is that the fox was rabid. Cormorantstar barely survived with the help of Mottlefoot’s apprentice, Chickenpaw, but before Mottlefoot could try to kill his leader again, Cormorantstar started showing symptoms of rabies and attacked and killed three other warriors. He also managed to infect Mottlefoot just before dying. Mottlefoot panicked and tried to save himself from the mysterious illness with herbs before it could destroy his mind. But it didn’t work, and he ended up killing Chickenpaw (Mottlefoot was horrified at his own actions (he actually really cared about his apprentice) as he attacked her, but was unable to stop himself), who manages to take him out in the same fight. When Mottlefoot opens his eyes, he's in the Dark Forest. Cormorantstar, Chickenpaw, and the three warriors killed appear before him. He objects that he is in the Dark Forest while Cormorantstar is in Starclan. They inform him that he's in the Dark Forest because he chose to try and kill his leader unjustly, while his leader is in Starclan because he only killed under the influence of rabies and not of his own free will. Mottlefoot is left to wander the Dark Forest, waiting for some naive medicine cat apprentice to come close enough to his realm, so he can influence them to do his bidding and make ThunderClan “strong”.
