Twistedcreek was, historically, not a nice tom. Never had been, probably never would be. Cursed with a long life filled with strife, the tom had every right to be as bitter and cranky as he was. Crippled as a kit before he even had a chance to grow, stripped of his medicine cat name, left without the mate he made so many sacrifices for, and with his nephew leader, Twistedcreek's life wasn't a pleasant one.
As a result, Twistedcreek was not a pleasant cat. He was bitter, he was cranky, he was unpleasant, he was rude, and he was blunt. He openly voiced his disapprovals about his nephew's leadership and his son's choice of mate and his granddaughter. What did Twistedcreek care? It wasn't as if he couldn't have anything else stolen from him. He had his opportunity of being warrior stolen away, his role of medicine cat revoked, his dignity and his pride trampled beneath his clan-mates' paws.
Why not be unpleasant? Why not be rude? Why not be bitter? He was just waiting to die at this point anyway, so it didn't matter. "Hey!" the ragged-looking elder called, poking his head out of the elders' down with a frown on his white muzzle. "Some apprentice get over here, I need the ticks taken from my pelt," the old tom demanded gruffly, amber-green eyes peering around camp in search of an unlucky victim.

Slatestar has a very complicated set of opinions on the old tom. He was his uncle, a disgraced medicine cat, quite possibly the worst cat in all the clans and yet he still had the gall to demand apprentices come to his beck and call. He cringed inwardly at the thought of Plumpaw having to deal with his nonsense. Although she was his granddaughter and was probably used to it at this point.
"Perhaps, if I were to make a suggestion, being nice would attract more apprentices," he mewed as tactfully as one could who knew that they were about to get an earful and yet did so anyway. The leader wasn't sure why it was almost as if Twistedcreek was the internal leader of the Clan, but he knew much better than to ask. He supposed be had every right to be the foxheart that he was, but he didn't have to be so noisy about it.

Lambpaw, very much like her name, was a pleasant molly. She was a wispy thing, pure white and buffered by the wind wherever she went. She was quiet and lady-like, taught that looks were everything and acted accordingly. Though she didn't act like her mother and didn't share her cold eyes, Lambpaw couldn't help but feel her mother's shadow hanging over her. Maybe this was why the molly was so mute and so nice. Or maybe it was to make up for a growing list of invisible sins digging under her pelt like fleas on an elder. Maybe her insecurities resulted in her willingness to help everycat. Maybe this willingness lead to the misguided idea that she was helping, not being taken advantage of. Maybe her willingness to help lead to her lack of confidence that was so deeply rooted in the molly that she didn't dare speak up to anycat - most notably Twistedcreek. Either way when the elder called Lambpaw scurried to help, willingly crawling into the spider's web. She slipped past Slatestar, Good morning Slatestar, and rounded Twistedcreek, ear flicking in a small greeting while she began to look for fleas.
