History
Reef:

Born the first and only kit, Reef naturally received plenty of attention from both of his parents. High expectations were thrust upon him from his earliest days, as they hoped to raise a respectable medicine cat. Mistypond soon took notice of Reef´s frequently runny nose and watery eyes. The clan assumed the kit had been born sickly at first, providing their newest member with various herbs to strengthen him up. His symptoms were soon discovered to be flaring up in the presence of pollens and powders, though. Reef had no health issues, but an allergy to certain plants. This discovery devastated his ambitious parents, each coping in their way.

Mistypond abandoned all her previous wishes and became overprotective of her son, attempting to keep him away from any kind of plant, not just the ones he was sensitive to. Sorreldust became more forceful in his ways. Hoping for Reef to gradually build up an immunity, he would sneak powder in the food he brought to his kit. Mistypond broke up the relationship after discovering this, but the battle for control over Reef would go on.

Reef started avoiding both as he grew older, trying to find a parental figure in other cats. At first, he clung to Ivywhisper, a cat he felt a strange kinship with after hearing rumours about him. Ivywhisper was soon banished however, leaving him alone with Drizzlesnout, a former apprentice of his who looked after kits instead of tending to the sick and injured. He didn´t care much for her at first, finding her quite annoying and immature. Surprisingly though, she proved to be the decent company. Reef has grown to love her, but he doesn´t plan on admitting that any time soon.

The kit´s biggest concern at the moment is his mother´s wish to send him to the Clan of Moon´s Shade, where she originated from. A few other cats seem to agree with her, considering this the more humane option, but Reef has no interest in leaving his clan. To prove his competence as a future medicine cat, he secretly started his training early, being taught by no other than his father.
