[atrb=width,600,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][bg=200815] Why do you shun me for who I am? FOR I AM Kestrelpaw of the great FrostClan Age 8 moons Gender Tom Rank Apprentice How can I hide in the shadows of the unknown? WHEN MY PELT IS brown and my eyes are green Scars none Appearance Kestrelpaw has an unusual tabby coat. The pattern has tiger stripes running along his legs, but they begin to broaden and space out across his body. His base coat is a coarse, smooth russet grey that fades into patches of white along his chest and underbelly. There is one white area right around the end of his muzzle and the beginning of his multiple whiskers. The tom's nose is a rosy pink that contrasts with his luminescent green eyes. Dark brown paws blend with shades of copper and ruddy browns all across his well muscled form. Kestrelpaw also has a bit of a raccoon mask with his green eyes rimmed with cream circles and darker brown eyebrow markings. Why do you judge me for what I’ll become? JUST BECAUSE I’M odd AND focused Personality At first, the tom might seem a bit standoffish to those who approach him. The truth is, he's just wrapped up in his warrior's training. His father was a large part of his life and after his death Kestrelpaw began obsessed with his goal to become as great a warrior as Otterclaw. To those he allows into his social circle, he is quite the oddball on his downtime. In fact, he is known throughout Frostclan for his odd knack for sitting on his haunches and spreading his forelegs. Kestrelpaw then begins to flap his legs much like a bird would when flying. When he was younger he used to dream of gliding through the sky like one of the many kestrels that flew throughout the forest. Besides this odd behavior, he actually is quite the flirt. Perhaps this is because his mother never paid him much attention, but sometimes he can go a bit overboard with his pickup lines.

EVEN IF MY PARENTS ARE Reedwhisker AND Otterclaw Family Reedwhisker - mother - deceased Otterclaw - father - deceased Rabbitpaw - sister Icepaw - sister Event that Lead to being a Warrior n/a History Kestrelpaw was born with two other kittens, both of them she-cats. His mother, Reedwhisker, favored the girls while his father, Otterclaw, adored his son. His father would take him out into the clearing, much to his mother's distress, and teach him the ways of the warrior. Otterclaw taught him simple battle moves and many stories of the warrior cats' ancestors. He spoke of great battles lost and won, and told his son of his own kithood. Kestrelpaw enjoyed these stories and teachings greatly, but even as a kit his odd behaviors were apparent to the other clan members. Reedwhisker thought of him as a bit of an embarrassment, though she loved him all the more for it anyway. Otterclaw however saw it as a sign that Kestrelpaw would be a great warrior one day, with enough balance, speed, and creativity to beat even the greatest opponents. When Kestrelpaw was 4 moons old, his parents both caught greencough. Both of his sisters caught a bit of the disease but they were treated first and recovered quickly. Reedwhisker was the first of his parents to die of the disease. Otterclaw held on for much longer, as was his warrior's spirit. Kestrelpaw was distraught when his father died of whitecough, and didn't speak to anyone for moons. Even his sisters couldn't rouse him from his somber state. He finally began living again when he remembered all the great things his father had taught him about being a warrior, and he now flaps his forelegs proudly in remembrance of his father. Kestrelpaw has vowed to become as great a warrior as Otterclaw, and won't settle until he does. Sample RP The young tom cat crouched low to the ground, feeling the sodden earth below him against his sensitive underbelly. Bright green eyes were scouring the landscape for any signs of movement around the sparse undergrowth. The distant sound of running water caught his attention from the stream near camp, but his pricked ears soon swivelled and the noise was soon discounted. Patience was what he needed right now, any moment there was bound to be some animal creeping from its burrow in search of food. Claws dug into the moist soil before retracting so as to keep light on his paws. Sleek fur blew softly against the reeds as a slight breeze came through. Frostclan cats would be anticipating his return with the prey, as would his mentor. No doubt she would be impressed with his progress. This was the apprentice's first time out hunting alone, and he was eager to prove himself. Attentive whiskers twitched at the vibrations coming from underground. Within seconds, a water shrew emerged from the burrow that Kestrelpaw had been scoping out. Easing himself forward as the animal began nibbling on what grubs it could find, the young tom gave it no time to run when he suddenly pounced forward and prepared to land a deadly blow with his paw. You call me by the name I’ve lied I meet in secret with those who’ve died Though life is not’ but treachery This life is all the life in me
