Appearance
Tidewave is a light gray-brown tabby tom with white markings and light green eyes. His fur is short, thick, and soft. There’s a pale, jagged scar running from the top of his head to beside his right eye from an accident as an apprentice.

Personality
Tidewave is pretty chill. He's friendly. He's a nice, happy dude. I'm too lazy to go into more detail, but I like him.

Kithood
Tidekit was born while his mother, Dusklight, was literally in the process of changing Clans - she’d just crossed the FallClan border. She’d been moving from OrchidClan to be with Troutgill, her mate & Tide's father. Then she started giving birth, and she fell into the water and drowned. Whoops. Troutgill was with her at the time and got her back to his camp. It was too late for her, but the medicine cats were able to save Tidekit. Yay.Sedgedawn, Troutgill’s sister and an old friend of Dusklight’s, agreed to foster Tidekit. Her own daughters, Rosekit and Sorrelkit, were less than a moon away from becoming apprentices themselves. Tidekit was given to her, and she, along with Troutgill, often busied themselves to make him comfortable. Tidekit was generally a quiet and thoughtful kit, although he was always funnier and more talkative with his close friends and family. He was rather saddened by the knowledge of what had happened to his mother, but he loved Sedgedawn just the same as though she’d given birth to him instead. He had a close relationship with Troutgill, and while he didn’t get along too well with Rosepaw, Sorrelpaw was always there to look out for him.

Near the end of his kithood, Sedgedawn began developing a tumor. It caused her terrible discomfort, and she was very unhappy during the last moon or so Tidekit spent with her in the nursery.

Apprenticeship
Tidepaw was apprenticed to Bramblethorn. Good for him! Only a few days later, though, Sedgedawn died. That was... not cool. He didn’t like that very much. He was super sad about it. He bonded a bit more with Sorrelpaw over the next moon, but it wasn’t long before she and Rosefoot had become warriors, and were no longer in the same den as Tidepaw. He was kinda sad because he had no friends, but oh well.

To try and make up for the fact that no one loved him except his father and one cousin, he started trying to make friends with everyone he could at gatherings. Most of these friendships dwindled off over time or ended abruptly with a sudden death or something. Tidepaw developed a small crush on Pollenpaw of OrchidClan, although he knew there was a slim chance of her ever returning the feelings, so he never confessed them.

When he was ten moons old, he was fishing with Sorrelseed once, and because he’s an idiot, he accidentally fell in the water and bashed his head into some rocks, leaving him with the nasty-looking scar. Sorrelseed yeeted him out and stopped him from dying, which was very nice of her. It took a while, and he wasn’t allowed to train for some time, but his head healed.

The rest of his training was relatively uneventful. He sorta just chilled for a long time.

Warrior Life
Tidepaw received the name Tidewave just because I think it sounds cool. Shush. He sort of just existed and did nothing for a really long time.

He’d only been a warrior for two moons when Rosefoot left the Clans after the death of her mate, Reedstalk. She blamed the young tom Stormclaw for the situation, and Tidewave, upset about Rosefoot’s disappearance, did so as well.

At some point, Bramblethorn also died. Tidewave eventually lost his feelings for Pollencloud, too. He probably mentored some apprentices, but I’m too lazy to figure out timing and such for that, so we aren’t ever gonna know who they were.

When he was thirty-seven moons old, Troutgill drowned in the same flood that killed Duskriver. That made Tidewave pretty sad.

Sorrelseed ended up becoming mates with Stormclaw, but Stormclaw was sort of mean to her, and they later broke up. Tidewave kind of despises Stormclaw, although he tries very hard not to since he’s the deputy now.

He also became Bearpaw's mentor. He trained Bearpaw as well as he could, but just before Bearpaw became a warrior, he fell sick during the second round of the plague and died. He was given the warrior name of Bearfrost during his vigil, and while Tidewave mourned for his apprentice, he was still very proud of him. Also, Pollencloud died, too. Tidewave was a lil bit bummed out about that.

Oh, and Tidewave also got the plague. It was only a minor case, though, and he recovered. He recovered thanks to Seedpaw and Crystalrock. He also found Hay wandering around at one point and sort of accidentally forced him to join FallClan. Good job, Tidewave.

He existed for a long time. Haywhisker hated him. Seedpaw and Crystalrock died. Then he got a new apprentice: Mallowpaw. Tidewave thought that was cool. He trained Mallowpaw, like ya do. He also sort of trained Mallowpaw's sister Mosspaw, because Mosspaw's mentor, Graydusk, sucked at mentoring. So he sort of tried to teach Graydusk how to do it.

Currently, Tidewave just vibes. He’s cool.

Trivia

 * I’m hungry.
 * I legit have no plans for this dude. I don't know what I'm going to do with him, or why I made him exist. I kind of want to kill him off now. Is that bad?
