Played by Fia. Bio updated 4/24/2012.
Name:
Flamefur
Name Meaning:
This tom was named Flamekit for the twinkling pelt all the nursery queens saw on the night he was born. When he was born it was in the light of the full moon, which made his gorgeous pelt glimmer like stars in the darkness. The suffix 'fur' was deemed an appropriate match to accent the suffix.
Age:
33 Moons
Rank:
Deputy
Clan:
MoonClan
Description:
This tom is of average size with a perfectly proportioned body. Nothing about him is too big or too small; he is almost perfectly made. His triangular ears that stick out from his head are supported by his thick, glossy fur. His small nose is made up for with his long whiskers. His average musculature is made up for with sharp fangs and claws. His small paws are perfect for climbing trees, as is his long tail. His fur is so glossy that it appears to glow in the light, and making it difficult not to look at him when he's around.
This ginger tabby tom has orange eyes slightly darker than his pelt. The sun turns his coat to flame, and even when not in the light it gleams with power and pride. Flamefur is stunning to behold, a truly handsome tom with knowing eyes that speak of great knowledge. One might say that he has no physical flaws, but he does. His pelt is marked with faint scars that one doesn't immediately notice in his thick fur, but upon closer inspection one can see the stories of many battles written into his being. The marks of many claws have scored him, but his claws have struck just as cruelly in return. In the heat of battle his eyes light up like fire, and one gaze is enough to strike fear into the faint of heart. He looks outwardly handsome, but if you keep looking you'll see the fierceness of a lion, the intelligence of the hunter, and the loyalty of a true Clan cat all in his very bearing and appearance.
Personality:
Flamefur is a noble, chivalrous cat. He has clear boundaries between what is right and what is wrong and abides by his own code of honor. Of course, his inner code of honor does not stand in his way of fighting for MoonClan - not yet, anyway. His loyalty to MoonClan is paramount in his nature. All the work he does on himself, like the self improvement and the honing of his skills, is for MoonClan. One of his other qualities is his innate intelligence. He can work through most problems quickly and easily to find an solution. Sometimes, though, he gets arrogant about his intelligence and refuses to listen to anyone else - though he is working on this.
Flamefur is also a very brave tom. He is not afraid of anything and believes that everything that is set before him can be overcome. He does not give up easily and is no quitter. All of these qualities are typical of a good Clan cat - loyalty, strength, determination, bravery. His chivalrous nature can lead others to think him whimsical, but his other qualities outshine this. He is a friendly cat, very kind and open, but he is also very protective. Anything he perceives as a threat to his Clan or something else precious to him will be given ridiculous amounts of attention. He can bend his intelligence into cunning in times like these, where he will seek to make something right by any means possible. This may mean using his connections to get things done in a devious way. One thing's for sure; you do not want to be his enemy, as he will hunt you down and destroy you using his connections and own inner power.
Flamefur is fueled by an inner fire, tempered for his Clan. Young cats are what inspire him the most, as he sees in them the seed of life just beginning to grow. He fights the hardest for young cats, the closest thing he can come to love. This makes him an excellent mentor, as he does enjoy teaching all he knows, and he just enjoys youth. She-cats are his downfall. He can get very nervous in a relationship and can make matters worse for himself. He does not feel confident having a relationship with a she-cat. Because of that, he has always avoided a mate. Only a determined she-cat can crack his heart open for her.
Flamefur is a firm believer in StarClan, like most MoonClanners are. He believes they guide the Clans, and without them they are lost. It is this belief coupled with his ferocious loyalty that make him one heck of a cat to reckon with, and one who you don't want on your bad side.
History:
Flamekit was born on the night of a Full Moon. The rest of the Clan was away at a Gathering when his mother Lightgleam began giving birth. The medicine cat had stayed behind at camp, expecting this, so Lightgleam was okay. She birthed a single tom, an orange tabby born with the moon shining down on his pelt, making it glimmer handsomely with frosty light. They named the tom Flamekit for his gorgeous pelt.
Flamekit grew under the best of care. The elders told him stories, the queens fed and protected him, and his Clanmates talked to him and caught him on his kit adventures. He learned from his mother to be respectful to she-cats and the like, to always live with loyalty and fight for honor. Unfortunately he never knew his father, as his mother refused to talk of her mate and he has never asked. Flamekit had a regular kithood and was then apprenticed to the wise warrior Skyheart. Skyheart taught him to never give up, and also how to be diplomatic.
Flamepaw soaked up information like a sponge and grew wise. He made acquaintances in other Clans and kept his heart to himself. She-cats were an experience. There was one she-cat, Daisypaw, who in particular he found impossible to live with. He liked her and her bubbly nature but didn't know what to say to the pretty apprentice. Eventually, Daisypaw was slain in a battle with NightClan, and Flamepaw learned his lesson; don't mess with she-cats. He really didn't know how to deal with Daisypaw and his feelings, so instead of dealing with them he moved on.
Flamefur became a warrior after chasing a fox off of their territory and back to the forests of NightClan. He was generally respected as he went on through the ranks with the passage of time, fighting courageously for his Clan and helping solve Clan disputes. Eventually he received an apprentice, Tricklepaw. Tricklepaw taught him how to teach, how to give his knowledge and form a close bond with another cat. Funnily enough, Tricklepaw was a she-cat, but young Flamefur didn't think of her in an overly affectionate way so got on well with her. Tricklepaw became Tricklestream in Flamefur's twenty eighth moon. Then disaster struck.
MoonClan lost their deputy. Dragonstar would have to pick a new one. Flamefur received the position twenty eight moons. His character and prowess as well as his youthful strength proved him worthy. Since then, Flamefur has worked hard to live up to being deputy. He has done well and is learning how to manage the Clan. His bond with Dragonstar is that of deputy to leader, but they could eventually grow closer. He has not sought a mate and currently lives only to serve MoonClan and be the best deputy he can be.
