With a temper just barely able to be contained, Buckbranch is a cat to tread carefully around. He loves a good argument and won't back down from he chance to start one, and once it has begun, will never give in until the other cat concedes. He is easily agitated, but would never harm another unless given a very good reason (self-defense, for example). However, he is not quick to pick a physical fight. He'd rather stay put on the sidelines than get his paws bloody. Peaceful ways out are his go-to solutions. He's kind and gentle, and likes to crack the occasional joke if the mood is right. He's also not afraid to playfully flirt with close friends. Buck isn't afraid to step up and defend what he thinks is right. If it goes against his morals, he'll argue, loudly, until he gets the last word. He doesn't care if his opinion is seen as "wrong" or "right"; if he think's it's valuable, he'll gladly defend it. It's probably important to know that Buttercup is also very untrusting and closed off about many topics, such as his childhood and his parents, among other things. Because his mother didn't care for him and he pushed his father away, he learned to deal with things on his own. He only opens up to cats he has a positive relationship with, and even then it's a very rare occurance. He refuses to seek advice if he thinks he can do it himself. There are occasions when he will withdraw into a depressive state, although these periods are not very severe and never last more than a day at the most. He tends to act based on emotion rather than logical decisions, and while he may yell and snarl, he would never willingly use his claws.

Buckbranch's Story
As a kit, Buckbranch's mother never cared much for him. She fed him and raised him, but once he was weaned, she left the nursery and never looked back. He was left with his father, who tried to heal the mental scars left by Blossomclaw, but Buckkit pushed him away. He felt as if he didn't need help, and became angry and withdrawn. When he was apprenticed to Snakeheart, he felt truly happy for the first time in his life. His mentor understood his wants and needs and never attempted to console him, only train him to be the best warrior he could be. Buckpaw began to come out of his shell, and eventually grew a connection to Snakeheart as a friend and not just a mentor.
When Buckpaw was given his warrior name, Snakeheart suggest "-branch", as a reminder of how much Buckpaw had grown. Buckpaw eagerly accepted the proposal, and passed his assessment with flying colors. The next day, he and Snakeheart went on a solo patrol near the WindClan border, where they were confronted by four WindClan warriors. Believing the pair had been trespassing, the patrol attacked Snakeheart and Buckbranch viciously, only wounding Buckbranch but brutally taking Snakeheart's life. Buckbranch dragged his mentor's body back to camp and mourned for her greatly. He fell into a state of depression, only being jolted out of it by the wildfire that destroyed a good portion of ThunderClan's territory.
When Flintstar announced he would be taking another Clan's territory to replace the parts ThunderClan had lost, Buckbranch flew into a frenzy. He called Flintstar out and threatened to tell the other Clans. Sunsnow and Roaringthunder were appointed as his guards and the three were sent on a hunting patrol. Buckbranch tried and failed to escape ThunderClan but falsely pointing out a rabbit and attempting to run. He was brought back to camp and confined there under Sunsnow's watch.
A few days later, he was approached by Flintstar and asked on a walk through the territory, to get some air. The pair were attacked by a badger, and although he considered feeling and leaving Flintstar for dead, Buckbranch stayed behind and helped the leader drive it off. The pair ran back to the medicine den to have their wounds tended to, and the fight left Buckbranch without his left ear and scar beneath his right eye. During the next Clan meeting, Flintstar named Buckbranch ThunderClan's deputy.
