Age: EIGHT MOONS
Gender: TOM
Rank: APPRENTICE
Clan: THUNDERCLAN
Short Description: a jet black tom with bright yellow eyes and scars across his nose

Appearance:

Average cats his age are tough, strong, durable and feisty, but for Ravenpaw, all these things seem like jokes. He is a weaker, smaller cat than most. With a skinner and more slender body than others, many would think that he was younger than he actually is. But it’s not his fault. Due to his father’s abuse and neglect, his body reacted in a negative way, making him smaller than average.

Keeping his tiny frame held together is his sleek, jet black pelt. Even though is life might have begun terribly, he doesn’t show it in his fur. The tom cat spends a good portion of the morning grooming his pelt to an absolute perfect shine. If there is nothing else to be proud about, at least he keeps himself in good hygiene.

Against his black as night pelt, are two bright yellow eyes. Though many cats, both loner and clan cat, have said his eyes were gorgeous, Ravenpaw could careless, considering his eyes remind him of his father’s cold, uncaring eyes. Though they may be his greatest asset, they are also his greatest source of pain.

Though this cat may be young, he bares several scars across his body. Many are unable to be seen through his dark pelt, but there are a few, like the three along his stomach and two across the bridge of his nose, both set from his father.

Personality:

>>A Tentative Heart:
For as young as he is, he knows much hardship and pain. He has much love to give cats, but he is terrified of being hurt again. He keeps himself closed off, keeping most emotions inside or to himself. He refuses to show any signs of sadness, anger or even disappointment. He tries his hardest to keep his heart shielded from the rest of the world and puts himself before others. He had deep trust issues and will not be a good friend in the beginning. He wants time to judge a character before he makes his way to being friends with someone. He hopes, somewhere deep down in his heart, to be more open.

>>The Overachiever:
Since his father had gotten the idea that he will never be good enough to do anything into his head, he strives to be better than himself and anyone else. He wants to prove to himself and everyone that he can and will survive on his own if he ever had to. If he doesn't do something right at first, he will keep trying and pushing himself to his limits to perfect what he was trying to do. He will stay up late working on a single move or skill to make sure he has it down and can use it to the best of his abilities.

>>A Longing Soul:
Though he tries hard to succeed and to be better than he was the day before, he has only one wish in his life; he wishes he could have the family he has always wanted. He wants nothing more to do with sorrow, failure and pain, but wants to feel joy and happiness and the love of a father who really cares for him. He has vowed to himself many times that he will become a much better father for his kits and will encourage them to be great, rather than putting them down with rude comments and lack of support.

History:

Ravenpaw was one of two kits born to Silver and Dragon. His sister, Luna, was the weaker of the two kits and soon died after birth due to complications with her breathing. Her parents tried as hard as they could to keep her alive and keep her strong, but nothing helped. After his beloved sister’s death, he noticed a big change in his father. His father avoided him more and more, never spoke to him and would even growl at him whenever he came near him.

His mother was the one to train him, teaching him the basics of hunting and a few basic fighting skills. As he improved, his father looked down on him, always muttering that he would never be good at anything. As he turned two and a half moons, his father attacked him, trying to kill him in front of his mother to prove to her that Raven would never survive on his own. His mother had jumped into the fight and managed to get her kit away from him. His father hissed at her and growled that he should have been the one to die and not Luna, that he was the reason for his sister’s death and that he would never be his son. Dragon left a moon after the attack on his own kit, vowing that his son was going to die soon.

His mother protected him with her life after his father had left. She always told him that he would be a wonderful cat when he grew up, despite what he was always told by his father. She was sadly killed by a stray dog in a twolegplace just a little bit after he had turned four moons old. With his heart broken and nowhere to go, he wondered through the woods and forested areas until he found ThunderClan.
