Line art is a free to color line art. Line art belongs to MintySmile on Deviantart.com All I did was color it in to show Basil's appearances.
Name: Basil was birth name. Sight is his current name.
Clan/Status: Blood Clan, Medicine cat
Age: 22 moons)
Gender: tom
Appearance: Sight is a thin cat, holding the appearance of a starving cat. Long legged with a mix of short and long fur in different areas. His chest and tail are the areas with the longer fur, there is a little bit of longer fur on his cheeks, but that is more like medium length. The fur on his body and legs is short and rather smooth. His fur is just two rather simple colors, black and white. White socks on all four legs and two dots on his forehead, the rest of him is black. Amber eyes that show up very well against his black fur. There is also a brown collar around his thin neck with no tags of any kind.
Personality:Sight is a lonely soul that is often described as a scatterbrained creature. Jumpy and not very confident in himself. Basil can be rather hard to understand and really, many don't know how to react to him. Appearing to be in a constant state of uncertainty, the source of the confusion others have with him is his rambling. Some cats think that Basil is insane for he can often be seen rambling and just acting strange; the fact that he looks so thin doesn't help. He is also paranoid as well as oblivious to things that he should be aware of. Suffering from amnesia isn't helping him at all, in fact it's made him worse.
Even with all of his problems, Basil is a normally nice creature. If someone does get hurt because of him, he ends up beating himself up about it. Very apologetic, he's really a tender spirit that is very fragile. He does try to act normally but it only ends with him having a major freakout.
History:
Named for the mint scent that his fur had, Basil was born in a clan that was on hard times a great distance away from the four clans here. The clan he came from was low on prey and was suffering from frequent attacks from the enemy clans around them. It was during one of these attacks that Basil's mother had taken him and ran away, he was three moons old when this happened and anyone could say it was a scary experience.
Managing to get away, Basil and his mother lived as loners for several moons where his mother taught him how to use some herbs. When he was twelve moons old, a rogue attacked him and his mother. The rogue had finished off his mother with ease and chased after Basil. It was only after launching himself into a river that he managed to get away, however the event had left him severely traumatized, and adding on nearly drowning created a worse and something happened that has lead him to worse shape. All the events had lead him to repressing the memories which has left him with amnesia, although he can't remember his own past save for the knowledge of herbs it hasn't helped him one bit. Suffering from his memories trying to return, he pretty much hallucinates and hears things from time to time. which makes telling the difference between real and memory hard.
Recently, he was found by a Two-leg who tried to take him in but he got away. Unable to remove the collar though, Basil is stuck roaming around with it on. Only to be found by Blood Clan and taken in. However, his hallicinations can be visions sometimes due to him being a medicine cat. Being renamed to Sight, he now has a new life.
Relationships: Doesn't remember anyone yet
