WILLOWCLAN
darkpaw
APPEARANCE Bulky and fluffy, Darkpaw is a very distinctive and striking tom-cat. Darkpaw is a very traditionally masculine cat; he's very wide and very tall, with a broad frame and an indelicate way of marching about. Immediately upon meeting the tom it's obvious that he's all about garnering attention and making a scene. With silver stripes that flow along his flank, an ash gray pelt, and a white face and underbelly, it can be noted that Darkpaw favors many traits from his father, though when asked Darkfeather will claim that his features are all his own. While as a kitten and younger apprentice Darkpaw had wild and untamed fur that stuck up in every direction, the tom puts more time and effort into maintaining his appearance now that he's older. Curling slightly upwards like slight wisps, it has long since grown out and is now much sleeker despite the fact that it's ripped through with pink scars. Darkpaw, overall, is a very flashy young cat with a penchant for being the center of attention. PERSONALITY Darkpaw will almost always think about his actions, but that isn't to say he isn't brash. His bravery is impressive for an apprentice, but it is his fear that drives his to be so strict. He lives by very defined morals and will never dare to step out of them, but will call anyone out who does. He feels like it's his job to make sure the rules are followed, and will never hesitate to enforce them. Despite having such bold notions towards rules and rule breakers, Darkpaw is sworn to be respectful to his clan. He always looks at the adults with such a starstruck gaze, but will keep his mouth shut. He believes that making a good first impression is everything, and he wants to make it obvious that he abides by the rules better than anyone else. So in this way, he has proven to be respectful to anyone above him. (Excluding Adolescents/Apprentices, as he thinks they haven't proved themselves to be good enough for his respect yet!) If anything, Darkpaw will follow every order you give him. Unless one of those orders goes directly against one of the rules, then he'll be doggedly loyal. He knows just how to balance his words so he doesn't talk too much, and never talks too little. Then again, all of that changes when he runs into a rule-breaker. His obedience is towards his leader and the tribe as a whole, but sometimes, it's really hard to be ordered around by his fellow apprentices. Darkpaw is obnoxiously loud when around his peers or rule-breakers. He always talks in the same incredibly loud screech, just so he can remain dominant over the other apprentices. Just imagine everything he says in Capital Letters, because that's exactly how he sounds. It's gotten to the point where he doesn't realize how loud he is. Though, when around superiors, his voice will shrink and resemble that of a mouse. Though, if you hear something that sounds oddly similar to a crow's caw coming from across camp, don't worry, it's only Darkpaw. Darkpaw isn't one to think about another cat's feelings. He sometimes forgets that they are actual sentient beings just like himself. As long as he enforces the rules and deals justice, no one truly matters. Though, he has a soft spot for his brothers. Then again, he nearly objectifies them when trying to prevent others from breaking the rules or hurting their feelings. His spirit and mind are very strong, but moreso stubborn than anything else. He isn't one to apologize quickly or let go of grudges. He will hold you to your promises and expect you to keep them. He holds grudges until the grave, and wouldn't ever consider apologizing unless a superior told him to. His pride and dignity is something he holds very highly, and often demands the respect of his fellow apprentices. Afterall, who else would make sure they stayed safe from delinquent rule-breakers? If you get on his bad side, then there is no going back. His temper is like a flame, and to quell a flame, it must be killed. He can't stop once this temper is lit, and will make sure that he's known. Usually it's only his brothers or a superior that can calm him down from these fits of rage and sadness. He tries his best to keep this bad side unknown, but once someone has stepped on his toes, there's no stopping him. This tom follows his heart, not his mind. None of his decisions are very logical yet, and often makes choices based on what he feels in his chest. He lets his strong will and beating heart guide him through life, which can lead to some very stupid decisions. He's often acting on a whim and without thinking, which gets him in more trouble than it's worth. Despite everything above, this apprentice is very affectionate. He craves physical contact with his family and friends whenever they are nearby, and is always up for cuddling. His family is above all else, and he isn't afraid to show that. Since he was born into such a tight-knit family, it was his first lesson and rule. Love your family, no matter what. In that mind, that equates to his friends as well. He trusts with his whole heart, which is dangerous, but makes for strong bonds. Once this apprentice lets you into his large heart, he won't be letting you go anytime soon.
HISTORY The beginning wasn't easy for either parents. But through their struggle, they were brought together by something they both wanted most in the world-- Kittens. One was eager to be a mother, and Darkpaw's father couldn't be happier with the arrangement. They gave birth to two girls, who would age to be known as great warriors of WillowClan. After their first litter flew they coop, another miracle took place. Darkpaw's parents were at it again; This time with four darling boys. They were born into WillowClan as a litter of troublemakers. Darkpaw knew things were changing too fast when he felt his powers rush through him after his ceremony. He wasn't ready to embrace his apprenticeship, as he felt he hadn't had enough time with his family. He wanted to stay together with his brothers, but it seemed they were all going to be spread around into their new duties. He accepted his fate and stuck to his morals, and soon found himself head-deep into his training. He has delved into his studies and pushes aside all other relationships-- he's too concerned in making WillowClan the best place it can be. Of course, as the best sheriff in town, it's his responsibility. This responsibility weighs heavy on his shoulders. |
