Acorn, russet and Mallow (plus sleepy lark doodle)

Acorn is the father to russet (the youngest sister) and mallow (the eldest and one of the groups healers) with his mate Red (not pictured)

Russet has her fathers energy, enjoys listening to his stories of battles he’s been apart of and the pair were often seen re-enacting ancient battles the elders tell stories of.

Mallow however has her fathers looks, she’s one of the largest cats of the group with a towering form that would scare off any rogue but she has a soft heart and found her true calling when she became a healer’s apprentice. She was the one to help her father after his accident with a trap laid out by a rival group at the time. His back leg and tail were caught in sharp wire and even though mallow was terrified her father wouldn’t make it he was still joking around with her and trying to lighten the mood which mallow often admits her fathers optimism was the reason she was able to help him as much as she did. 

Acorn was pretty old at the time of his accident and even after leaving the healers den his leg troubled him and he found it harder to carry out his duties to the group. Their leader suggested that instead of the usual patrols and hunting, he could instead take up a role within their camp which would consist of teaching the younger cats, who were not old enough to train properly but rowdy all the same, battle moves in the form of play in order to start their training in a safe environment. Acorn graciously accepted and he spends most of his days outside the nursery watching the kits and playing ‘battles’ with them as their mothers take some much needed rest.
