redpaw

[* r.edpaw]

names: Redkit Redpaw Redfall
gender: Tom
age: 6 moons
clan: ShadowClan
rank: Medicine Cat Apprentice Apprentice

personality:

Rude: To most, meaning rival Clans, Redpaw may seem rather rude. However, from a typical ShadowClanner, he may seem just a bit ruder than the rest. One of the reasons for his rude nature is the fact that he had been teased enough of times to create a shell around his true but not much different personality. He has a quick tongue and a quick - temper that also fuels his rudeness so it's best to keep out of his way really.

Cold: He is sometimes viewed as a rather cold apprentice who cares for little but himself, his brother, and his foster mother; caring about himself less than his family though. Some have tried to break through his cold attitude but they give up, he cares so little that he's almost heartless.

Reserved: Being one who keeps to himself a lot is another trait of Redpaw's. He's somewhat the loner because he hardly has any friends and couldn't be bothered to make any. Despite his best efforts to keep to the shadows, he finds himself often catching the attention of females, something that he hates about himself; his good looks. But.. he still tries to remain on the outside everytime he can.

Secretly gentle: Beneath his gruff exterior, Redpaw can sometimes be uncharacteristically gentle, especially towards his family. Other Clanmates.. maybe on a rare occasion, but he'd do anything for his brother, his only true friend and companion.

Caring underneath: Right inside, Redpaw does care at times, despite his cold attitude. If given the choice of having to save either his Clan and family or himself, he would choose the former in a heartbeat. Sure, he may act as if he doesn't care all the time but he's the kind of cat that puts others before himself.

appearance:

For someone his age, Redpaw is reasonably well - built; not too big and not too small. That being said, he is slightly thin and lean but not too much. He isn't very muscular but as time goes on, he may develop some muscle that would help him in his daily activities. Redpaw has a rather long body with legs that are only very slightly shorter than his body. As he just only became an apprentice, he still has the pink nose of a kit.

Dark ginger fur covers his entire frame, lightening to a creamy colour at some places and darkening to bold, red brown streaks on others. He has almond - shaped amber eyes that hold a cold look in them. It is these two facts, his eyes and his fur, that catch the attention of some or many females, much to his dismay.

history:

Redpaw never had what you would call 'a normal past with lots of friends and every one in the Clan fawning over him'. Instead, his history is much, much more complex; one full of distrust, confusion, and outright lying. Our story, his story, begins long before his birth; His parents' births.

It was a sunny day in ShadowClan, if you called being able to glimpse the sun through the pine trees 'sunny'. Anyway, moans emitted from the nursery, each moan accompanied by worried looks from cats gathered in front. Inside were two queens with the medicine cat accompanying first one, then the other. The moans and groans were coming from the two, both giving birth at the same time, something rather unusual. The first to bring her kits to the world was Pineleap, a tabby queen with a pelt that matched her fiery temper. She birthed two kits, of which one was sadly a still - born. Before the medicine cat had time to say anymore, the other queen, Lunarfoot, gave a shriek. The medicine cat whisked around to see if Lunarfoot needed any assistance. Moments later, her kits were borne into the world, two healthy kits with another weaker one. Pineleap's only kit was a ginger she - kit whom she named Russetkit. The weak kit on Lunarfoot's litter was also the only tom, a who had pure white which was rather unusual for a ShadowClanner and was named Frostkit.

The weak Frostkit grew into a bitter cat who was teased and taunted him because he wasn't the same as they were. He and his sisters grew up without a father and were also taunted because of that. Russetkit on the other hand, was well - liked by the Clan and was pretty much adored by her parents. As the two kits grew, they became close friends, much to the disapproval of Russetfur's parents. Until finally, news came out that Russetfur was about to have Frostheart's kits. Until one day, they were gone. Not a trace. One heavily pregnant queen with her cold mate, vanished into thin air.

In the middle of the night, Frostheart had persuaded Russetfur to run away from ShadowClan with him, for what reason no one would know. Once a long way from the Clans, he confessed that he was a decoy, and that he had been meeting up with his father who was also a decoy. Terrified, Russetfur fled from her mate, back the way she had come from to ShadowClan. It took her three days to arrive, considering that she was about to kit anytime.

Then it happened. On the third day or rather night, she kitted and had two kits, each taking after a parent. Russetfur knew her Clan would never accept her back into the Clan but she wanted to keep her kits safe from their father. So, she left the two kits on the ShadowClan border and vanished for the last time. The kits were found by a ShadowClan patrol and taken in, the Clan having faintly recognized the scent that clung faintly onto the kits' fur as Russetfur's.

And then, the brothers began a new life, not that they had had much of a life before as fwy had been abandoned within the hour they were born. The dark ginger tom that took after his mother was named Redkit, his white - furred brother taking the name Snowkit. Redkit was a right puzzle to most of the Clan. The only things he seemed to care about was his 'mother' and brother, no one else. And yet, in times of danger, he seemed to care about the Clan's safety slightly more than what he usually portrayed. A right puzzle indeed. Perhaps this was one reason why the Clan never told the siblings the truth about their parentage, about why some whispered behind their backs as the brothers passed by. But life still went on as normal for Redkit and soon enough, he received his apprentice name, Redpaw.
