Mosspaw, Tom, loner

[mantis]

Name: Mosspaw
Age: 8 seasons
Gender: Tom
Rank: Loner
Description:

Mosspaw has a short dark grey colored pelt that looks black at night. He has narrow shoulders and a small physique, allowing him to easily fit through small spaces. Even with his small stature any cat can see his tightly packed muscles showing through his short furred pelt. His left ear is slightly split at the tip from training skirmishes, and has a scratch that has yet to heal on his left leg. Mosspaw's tail seems disproportionate to his body, being slightly longer than normal. He has extra tufts of fur around the base of his ears, tail, and paws, that are darker gray then the rest of his pelt. His eyes are a dark yellow that seem give off a faint glow, which is hardly noticeable during the day.

Personality:

Mosspaw was raised with a sense of freedom by his father Stone, which he has kept as strong as his natural senses. He dislikes being held down by the warrior code, feeling that he shouldn't have to risk his life for another, or be restricted to a certain area. He also acts rather selfish, seeming not to care as long as he is out of danger and well fed. However, he enjoys keeping fit, and learning new battle moves, in case he needs to protect himself. Also, over time, he has built a defense mechanism in himself that prevents him from feeling guilt towards anything. Knowing that he is only one cat without a clan to back him up, he keeps his pride in check, making sure to refrain from any confrontation that could end up hurting him in the long run.

History:

Mosspaw was born into Thunderclan by his clan mother, and loner father. While he was a kit his father was given permission to stay in ThunderClan until he was apprenticed. Mosspaw developed a strong link with his father, and was often found listening to Stone's adventure stories from before he met Mosspaw's mother. It was his father who gave him his strong sense of freedom, which Mosspaw interpreted as a dislike of being confined and following orders. Despite his strong link with his father the day came when Stone had to go, leaving him with his mother and his new mentor.

Mosspaw was deeply saddened by this and seemed to become a lifeless shell of himself, struggling to do his mentor's assigned tasks. When he was 10 moons old his mother died from a wound that she received during a large ShadowClan skirmish. Instead of becoming saddened, or enraged by this Mosspaw felt a small spark of happiness light up inside him. Finally, there was nothing keeping him in ThunderClan, he could leave to find his father. A few days later during the cover of the night, Mosspaw slipped out of camp and left his territory to look for his father. Remembering one of the stories his father told him, Mosspaw headed towards the moon.

Luckily, He found his father close by ThunderClan territory. After delivering the sad news he was shown where Stone made refuge, his new home. His father being a former warrior himself many seasons ago, continued Mosspaw's training. However, due to the fact that he was no longer Clan he had to keep his name. Everything seemed to be going great, until, one day during a hunting session with his father, Mosspaw had a run in with a rather large adder. He would have died by a bite to the neck if Stone hadn't pushed him out of the way in time and received the bite instead. It was here that Mosspaw recieved the scratch on his leg, from sliding over a sharp rock on the ground, as well as where he started building his defense mechanism. His father had died, and he knew that if he kept dwelling over his fathers death he would end up dieing as well. So with a last look at his fathers grave, Mosspaw left for what was now his barn, which had been abandoned for many seasons by twolegs.
