Name:
Otterpaw
Gender:
Tom
Age:
Eight moons
Clan:
RainClan
Rank:
Apprentice
Appearance:
Otterpaw is a simple, brown tom with seal-point features, meaning his face, muzzle, ears, paws, and tail tip are all a darker brown than the rest of his body. His pelt is shorter than his sister's, and he's got more of than long and lean frame, making him very suitable for swimming and water in general. He loves to swim, to put it simply, and the only thing that seems to occasionally hold him back is his tail. Completely opposite of his sister, it's short and slightly feathery, making it harder for him to navigate. His paws are slightly broad and large compared to the rest of his body though, giving him more powerful strokes and it's easier to go farther than the average cat in one swipe in the water.
His front legs are tightly packed with muscle, due to the fact he swam so often, as a kit, even. This makes climbing trees easy as well, usually using his front paws to pull himself up, so fish and squirrels are the main prey he brings to his Clan. Because he focused so much on his front legs, his hind legs have grown rather weak, making jumping not a strong point for him, and although it isn't vital, his agility is not up to par when it comes to running. The combination of weak and strong in his legs makes him average at running. The rest of his body is normal, despite his tail and ears being a tad smaller than the rest of his body.
His eyes are probably the most captivating part about him, the palest green you could see, they look practically white, which makes you wonder if he is vision impaired. Although he doesn't admit it, he is. He's not completely blind, no, but his vision isn't the greatest. No one, except Pumpkinpaw, knows this, and he proceeds to live life as an average apprentice. Only can he see things clearly if he focuses on them, which makes fighting harder. And although they aren't the best eyes, they stand out well on his pelt, and being so blank, they almost never show any emotion, which is used to his advantage most of the time.
Personality:
Otterpaw is extremely protective, trustworthy and loyal when it comes to friends, and even more, family. His loss of kin makes it hard for him to let go of Pumpkinpaw and even see her go out of his sight. As he's an apprentice now, he's getting more used to it, but he'll stick up for her anytime he feels she's being threatened. It may seem as if he's trying to fight her battles, but he just really, really cares about her. This also works as a disadvantage as well. If he goes to a Gathering and makes friends, he refuses to fight them. Tear him to shreds if they will, but he will not hurt someone he has grown a liking for. His Clan loyalty is questioned because of this, but deep in his heart, he knows for a fact he will never, ever betray RainClan.
Not only that, but he is rather careless and lazy, free-spirited and free may be another way to describe it, but the first one makes more sense. For example, he doesn't really take time to bury the prey he catches, he doesn't ever really groom his pelt, he doesn't care much for the elders, he's rather self-centered sometimes. He likes doing things when he wants too, and that's that. Expect practically nothing when he isn't in the mood or is just upset, but when he's willing, 200% is what he'll give.
Lastly, he's plain old friendly. He may not look like he cares when he's cleaning out your bedding, but if you sit down and talk he'll be as nice as can be. He treats everyone as equals, even cats from BrokenClan, and respects StarClan to the highest regard. He's true to the warrior code, to you, and to himself. He'll tell no lies, he's just Otterpaw.
Kin:
Larkfeather [Mother, deceased]
Unknown Father
Pumpkinpaw [Sister, apprentice]
Mosskit [Sister, deceased]
Mate/Crush:
Dovepaw, will eventually be Gingerpaw, though
Mentor:
Needed
History:
Otterkit
Life was fairly simple back in the good ol' days. Sneaking out of camp to do some swimming, then coming back sopping wet and trying to look casual. I recall Larkfeather always scolding me and telling me my apprentice ceremony was going to be delayed, but I could always detect a trace of amusement in her voice. I miss her, she died only a few days after our apprenticeship, Mosskit and few days before. It was sad, but there was always a spark of happiness in my heart, I had waited for this day for 6 moons and it had finally arrived. My life was normal, I never knew my dad, and I didn't really want to, either. He wasn't good enough for Larkfeather if he would just leave us. My mother was as sweet as honey and I always found favor in her. Needless to say I loved her very much, as still I do love Pumpkinpaw. Nothing extravagant really ever happened to me, plain Otterpaw, is what they should call me.
