Full Given Name: Gavin Clearcloud Dreft Fireeye Quinn-Burner, Esquire Shortened Name: G. Clearcloud Quinn-Burner, Esquire Everyday Name: Clearcloud
Gender: Male Age: 31 Years Species: Hare Occupation: Roving Healer
Physical Appearance: Clearcloud is tall and lanky, as are most hares, with a pair of expressive ears that move as he speaks or his moods change. His fur is rusty brown in color, paler near his eyes. His pelt darkens to the point of black at the tips of his ears. His eyes are amber brown. When exposed, there is a broad scar across his left thigh. The limp it causes is impairing to to his mobility and without the support of his walking stick he gets around only very slowly. The walking stick is an affair of sun-bleached wood and plain silver detailing.
The clothing he favors is that of a traveler: Sturdy trousers of dark brown fabric, tall boots of russet brown, simple shirt of vermillion, and a jerkin the same russet as the boots laced in the front. It's topped with a simple cloak of mottled brown and gray. He carries a sizable pack, filled with provisions for both feeding himself and healing those he comes across.
Possessions: Walking Stick Pack containing travel gear, healing equipment, and provisions. The clothes on his back.
Personality: Clearcloud is a practical creature when it comes to medicine. While his language and bearing is the seemingly frivolous behavior of a hare, he tolerates only a sparing number of jokes when it comes to the healing of any beast. Prior to his injury he had been learning the perilous fighting of a Salamandastron hare from his father, a retired Sergeant. He has the drive to succeed, which might have made him a rising star amongst the Long Patrol, but he never rose to any call. He wallows in the feeling that his injury made him unsuitable to the Long Patrol or any sort of fighting life.
He can be impulsive, particularly when it comes to those he chooses to heal. He is more likely to heal a beast, even if they were seemingly evil. His only bias is towards reptile and amphibian kinds.
Strengths: Medicinal Knowledge - He posses a knowledge of herbalism and the associated methodologies for application to a beast for the purposes of healing the body. Driven - He is driven to pursue his goals, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
Weaknesses: Limp - He's in possession of a limp, caused by a scar on his left leg. It limits mobility and is only somewhat negated by the use of a sturdy walking stick. Impulsive - Clearcloud has a tendency to act as he feels best rather than the way in which the rules or his current station in life suggests would be the best. He does not permit suffering in his vicinity, and might share his gift for healing in ways others might consider unwise.
History: He was born into the smallish family of a retired Long Patrol Sargent, where he was raised until the age of about 20 with the idea that he would be a Hare of the Long Patrol one day. His mother had always been a healer, and imparted the wisdom of her trade to her son. She was the only reason his father has survived grievous battle injuries that had resulted in his subsequent retirement (followed closely by his marriage).
The small village of hares (which included aunts, uncles, and grandparents from Clearcloud's Mother's side) was wiped out when an organized attack came from within the Swamp. The small band of lizards and toads was short lived, for the village was comprised mostly of retired fighting beasts. Despite this the Village did not survive. A fair number of individuals did survive the slaughter, but they chose to scatter to the winds rather than rebuild on the site of such slaughter. Clearcloud was raised by his Aunt Begonia, who packed the pair of them up and moved them the long way to Mossflower wood. In the confusion of the battle Clearcloud has been badly maimed. Even at the age of 17, he saw it for what it was: The end of his Long Patrol Aspirations.
He lived, and healed, in distant parts of Mossflower. he had never wanted to be a healer, and had only paid attention to his mother's lessons because he'd thought they might save his life someday. Now, his Aunt continued the lesson and he accepted that this was what remained for a lame hare. Prehaps he could prevent another from having their options limited as his had been.
This state of being lasted until he was nearly 30 when his Aunt passed on. Since that time he has traveled, unwilling to return to the boarded up warren under a stand of pines where he'd spent the last decade. Instead he limps through the woods, dispensing healing and leaning on his walking stick.

Ok, I've looked over it, and the bio seems fine in content. I would recommend a bit more proofreading for clarity and flow, and I would also suggest a bit more in regards to his history. For example, who attacked his family? Why? Things like that would be helpful.
Other than that, it looks fine.

Updated.
I made bunch of little changes including a read-through and some edits for clarity/grammar (I apparently missed a few fairly serious typos. Sorry about that). Also clarified the source of the attack, which I had already decided but apparently expected you to pull from my brain rather than me writing it down (opps - Maybe I spent too much time in my own head figuring Clearcloud out...).
