History:

Tumblefoot was born to Tinystep and Rockfur when Wolfclan used to be Ravenclan. His mother is very small in comparison to his father who is huge like himself. Tumblekit was born first hours before his sister Mintkit. The medicine cat was afraid they would loose Tinystep and the unborn kit. But eventually his sister was born, she was very small and weak so her mother had to help her to get her nursing. Even as a newborn Tumblekit somehow new something was wrong with his sister and was careful around her. Though he often tumbled around when he tried to crawl somewhere for he had awful balance. Which is why his mother and father decided to name him Tumble. Tumblekit opened his eyes first and began to walk before Mintkit though clumsily and if Tinystep didn't put her paw out to balance him he probably would of tumbled into his sister more then once. More often then not Snowkit would come over and tease him for being so clumsy and he would then purposely tumble into her and start laughing. Mintkit continued to be weak and though her eyes were open and she could walk she often had to stop and catch her breath after taking just a few steps. Tumblekit would always tell her not to push herself.



One night shortly after they turned a moon old Tumblekit woke up to his mother crying. He blinked his eyes open and found his father and Cloudfeather Snowkit's mom around his own mother. He asked what was wrong and his parents turned to look at him. His father curled his tail around him and drew him near. His father looked sad. Just then he looked around and noticed Mintkit was gone. Tumblekit jumped up and ran around yelling for her. Rockfur had to pick him up and place him between his paws where he told him that Mintkit has passed away during the night and was now with Starclan. He refused to believe it for days but when she never returned he knew it was right. And for a while there was nothing Snowkit could even do to cheer him up. His parents began to get worried but the Med cat told them to give him time. And with time he did slowly begin to return to his old self. But unknowingly his self conscious had made a vow to never let another kit die alone again. He returned to his cheerful goofy self and played with Snowkit all day. The two were best friends, almost like siblings at least that's what he thought as a kit and for a while as an apprentice as well.



Tumblekit and Snowkit where made apprentices. Snowkit had no siblings and he didn't either anymore. Tumblepaw's mentor Blackfang had a heck of a time trying to get him to stop goofing around and get serious. Even when he was serious and was trying to hunt he would mess it up by tripping over his own paws. As apprentices Snowpaw and Tumblepaw grew closer it wasn't until he was about nine moons old that he realized he no longer thought of her as a sister. It was Snowpaw who told him not to get upset whenever he ruined the hunting patrol with his clumsiness. She worked with him during their free time to help him get rid of his clumsiness. She would half him walk a straight line through camp and every time he slipped, tripped or stepped on something she would make him restart. His mentor began doing this as well so by the time the sunset he was so tired he didn't have enough energy to talk. Eventually though all the training worked and though he would never be as nimble as Snowpaw or other warriors he no longer frightened the prey away and was able to finally catch his first prey.



Finally, they were made warriors and as they called out their new names Tumblefoot smiled and looked to Snowstorm to tell her it was all thanks to her. But when he looked at her he suddenly realized how beautiful she was. His heart began to beat faster and faster and that was the first time he realized that he was fallen in love with the she-cat who had been his best friend since they were kits. He was afraid to tell her how he felt at first but slowly over the next few moons he worked up his nerve to tell her and it turned out she felt the same way. Hearing that had been the happiest day of his life.



After that day that Tumblefoot expressed his feelings the two began to grow closer and closer and the whole clan began thinking that they would end up having kits soon. It took them longer then most the clans thought. They were twenty four moons old when Snowstorm gave birth to their first litter of two kits Turtlekit and Ferretkit. Tumblefoot rarely left the nursery except to hunt for Snowstorm wanting her to eat only the freshest of the freshkill. He wouldn't let anyone else hunt for her he wanted to make sure the animals were healthy so the kits would be healthy. As the kits grew he would often spend all his free time playing with them and giving them piggy back rides around the camp. As they got older and they began to wait to sneak attack him when he came back from patrol he would pretend he was a badger and try to fight them off but in the end carefully roll on his back and play dead. Tumblefoot loved his kits and his mate. When they were made apprentices it was his proudest moment. But it was also his saddest for shortly after they were made apprentices Ravenclan and the other three clans were forced to leave their homes for twolegs were destroying them and putting up dens. Their leader was killed before they left from prey that was poisoned by twolegs and the deputy became the new leader and chose Tumblefoot to become his new deputy.

For two moons all four clans, Ravenclan, Meadowclan, Mossclan and Stoneclan traveled over the mountains in hope of finding a new territory for them. During their journey over the mountains his mother Tinystep was killed when she fell off the ledge and into the valley hundreds of feet below. He had leaped as he saw her begin to fall but another warrior had stopped him by sinking his claws into his back. Enraged at being stopped from trying to save his mom he attacked the cat blindly. At soon as he swiped his claws at the cat he felt absolutely horrible for it was Sunfur his best friend besides Snowstorm. Sunfur told him to think of his mate and kits and told him his mother was with Starclan now and would be watching over them. Though from that day forward whenever he looked at Sunfur he would always be reminded for there was a scar on his muzzle where he had swiped his claw at him. Eventually they came to a new home and Ravenclan claimed a territory and afterwards found they were sharing part of their territory with a pack of wolves and decided to call themselves Wolfclan. Shortly after they settled into their new home Tumblefoot discovered Snowstorm was pregnant once more. They would be the first to have a litter in their new territory.
