Batears' most striking aspect is his eyes. Massive and bright blue, they sit deep in his face. His orbs are far larger then the average cat's should be and many a Clan-mate has speculated that it is because he hardly seems to blink and they have just stretched out over the years. The colour itself seems to be an odd mix between untouched water and the sky at mid-day.
His face is not normally shaped. In addition to the massive eyes, his ears are almost bat-like. They make his head look tiny in comparison which, of course make his eyes seem that much larger. Potentially the most humerous part of his large ears is the fact that he seems to be deaf half the time. His snout is fairly short, but not as squat as certain breeds of cats. His whiskers are very long, due to his massive ears.
And of course, we cannot discuss Batears without talking about his massively beautiful pelt. It is his pride and joy. When he isn't staring at the sky (or, you know, doing his job) he is taking care of his pelt. His fur is fairly long most of the time and it is pitch black.
He keeps his teeth and claws very short. He is a grinder and can't help it when he sleeps - his teeth are naturally filed down. In addition, he is constantly filing his teeth and claws through herb gathering and preparation.

Batears is obsessive. He started out as a fairly normal kit. Ok, that is a lie, Batears was never normal! He was born practically staring at the sky, even before he could see. That has to do something to your head.
Batears has always had a deep relationship with the stars. He 'claims' they spoke to him, even before he became a Medicine Cat. But when really asked about it, he said it wasn't StarClan that spoke to him, the stars themselves did. In every twinkle he could hear them sing. Of course, everyone else though the kit was crazy. And he never denied it. There is no proof whatsoever that he actually hears anything from the stars. Maybe he makes it up as an excuse to talk to himself. Maybe StarClan is messing with him...Who knows!
In addition to his star obsession, he also quickly grew to love the elder's stories. He would sit for hours in their dens, listening to everything they had to say. Sometimes, to the annoyance of certain cats who will remain unnamed, he would correct them or finish the story for them.
Despite all of his quirks, Batears is an amassing Medicine Cat. He takes his job with the highest respect and he knows that his first and only duty is to his Clan. He has an un-matched knowledge of the more...peculiar methods of healing and has plans in the future to implement them and test them more thoroughly (occasionally scarring his Clanmates when he talks about it).
He has never cared what anyone thought. He knows that he is right - about the stones, about the stars - and he doesn't need anyone else to know it. Of course, the acceptance and approval of his Clanmates maters deeply to him, it is not necessary for him to continue life.

Batkit was born in the depths of summer. When the little creature was born, his small face was turned toward the sky. Of course, he couldn't see yet but everyone thought it was a sign. He knew where the stars were - he could feel them!
It really wasn't long until the only-kit was able to go outside and explore. As predicted, he spent quite a bit of his time rolled onto his back staring at the sky just outside the nursery. Once he was old enough to wander around on his own, he found a small perch in the camp that let him get just a bit closer to the sky. Of course, that simply wasn't enough for him and even before he was apprentice age he was sneaking up to the Leader's Den to try to get even closer! He was caught quickly and scolded.
at a young age, he realized he could hear voices in his head. he told his mother who was quite worried about him and she went to the medicine cat for help, fearing for her son's sanity. blackberry, the medicine cat went to his leader and decided that the small tom was hearing starclan.
It was obvious that this passive kit was not going to be a warrior and he was taken in as the Apprentice Medicine Cat at his six moon ceremony. He was thrilled and instantly started learning everything he could. And it wasn't long until he was trying to correct his mentor! While amused of the funny-looking kit's enthusiasm, he tried his best to keep the kit on track.
Over time, he grew very close to his mentor and they formed a bond unlike any other. Although she was not related to him by blood, he became like a second mother to him. Blackberry retired to the elders den nearly ten moons ago, leaving Batears to take over as Medicine Cat. He is still around for him to ask questions, but Batears has learned to no longer use his mentor as a crutch.
when he was first made medicine cat apprentice, he developed an odd and unheard of obsession and idea. For generations, the cats have used herbs to heal their sick, but what about stones? He has seen their healing prowess first paw and he knows that with the addition of stones as healing instruments, his Clan would be far healthier and safer. he has since done experimentation on his Clanmates without most of them knowing and he has developed ideas and confirmations of some of their abilities.
Once, when he was still fairly young, he had been told to go out and gather herbs for his mentor. Dutifully, he did so but was distracted by something shiny down a small hole. He did everything he could and finally he was able to fish the small rock out of it's cavern. He was impressed and brought it home with him.
A few days later, a warrior came in with a terrible cough. Blackberry gave him an herb to try to calm it but the next day she returned and it was much worse. The Medicine Cat instructed her to sleep in his den tonight.
After she had gone to sleep, batpaw had a deep desire to give the rock to the she-cat. He snuck over to where she was sleeping and hid the stone in the nesting. The next morning, as if a miracle had struck, she was better! Of course there was minor lingering of the cough but she was able to return to patrols and hunts and move back to her own den. batpaw was massively impressed and even Blackberry couldn't explain what had happened.
Batears has since spent his free time trying to collect as many varieties of stones as he could find through the territory. He has quite a collection now and through minor experimentation knows what some of them seem to do. But he isn't done yet, he has a lot more he still needs to figure out!
