[blitzy]

Name:

Cloudspots

Age:

36 moons

Rank:

Warrior

Clan:

Dayclan

Description:

Long furred and black and white. That sums this tom up in the nut shell. Eyes. Amber. More like a striking amber. Against the black and white that surround his face, his eyes are sharp and easily spotted. It has to be the most distinguishing feature on this tom. Cloudspots has a black tail, black splotches on his back(two of them), and black ears. The rest of his fur is white. With a coat as long as his, it's hard not to stay warm. And cool. OK, so it's not as long as a Maine coons, Norwegian forest cats, Siberian cats, or any other long haired breed, but still, the tail fits into their standards. His tail is from his mom. She had long sweeping fur, and passed that trait into his tail.

Proportions and such. First the tail. Long black fur is all that's on this tom's tail, and on a tom like this he really knows how to pull it off. His paws are average sized, as is his body and ears. His eyes are oval in shape, and are quite large. His face is more of a triangle with a large hypotenuse, and two smaller legs. It's math terms. Who knew match could be used to describe proportions? Although there's a collar in the picture, as you may have guessed, he doesn't have one.

Personality:

One of the best words you could use to describe this cat would be cautious. But of course, there are many others, but eehy, we'll come to them soon. Hopefully. Cautious. The tom's no Squirrelflight, and doesn't jump into trouble head first. No. He's one to not jump in at all, just deal with it at a distance, if it's possible. But he's willing to attack head on if need be. He's not one to go leaping from treacherous boulder to boulder, as he learned caution is the best policy at a younger age. But this isn't the time for past experiences, so on we go. Gentle. It's hard and rare for there to be a gentle warrior, but Cloudspots pulls it off in his own way. He doesn't like shedding blood, and will only do it if no other choice. He's one to never raise a paw against his own clan mates, and certainly not kits. Never kits. Peaceful. To some, this would have been implied with gentle, but for me it wasn't, so here it is. Cloudspots is a peaceful cat, but you probably already knew that. He doesn't believe in the killing of other cats, and if only to save the life of another, he'd gladly take his own by tooth and claw. Which leads us into our next quality. Selfless. He's one to put others before himself. Him and another are in danger? Cloudspots would be one of the best cats to be with in that kind of situation. He'd give up his own life for another, and do whatever he can to insure the survival of another. Alright, to recap. Cautious, gentle, peaceful, and selfless.

Fierce. I know this competes with the gentleness in him, but even the most pacifist of people have that fierce side to them. And this tom's no exception. He has a fierce protectiveness towards kits and apprentices. Why this is, probably because he values all life, and since the two are the youngest, their life is more important because they haven't gotten to live it out yet. Brave. There were hints to this one when I was describing selfless. To be willing to give up ones life for another requires bravery, and this tom's ready and willing, as all clan cats should be and most would be. Fighter. This tom's the exceptional fighter, even though he doesn't like fighting. Tooth and claw are a cat's main arsenal, but with Cloudspots, there's more to it. Head, tail, paw, body, shoulder, whatever. He can make a weapon out of most features of his body through improvisation. And Cloudspots knows this well. This is what makes the tom an excellent fighter. The ability to use another part of your body in your list of arsenal.

History:

Cloudspots has a brother, Cougarspots, and had a sister, Clovepaw. His parents were Shadowdove and Brackenstripes. Cloudkit and Clavekit looked like Shadowdove, Cougarkit like Brackenstripes. Nothing really happened when the three were kits, except their relationship bond grew strong. The time in the nursery, like all cats, seemed to last forever for the three, but for Shadowdove, it flew bye. Soon they became Cloudpaw, Cougarpaw, and Clovepaw. When the three were out hunting together, they ran into a badger, but didn't have the chance to run. Clovepaw had already been attacked, and the two brothers went into the defensive mode, trying to save their younger sister. But it was to no avail. The two apprentices were thrown sideways, and the badger went after Clovepaw. Another figure shot through the undergrowth, golden pelt with black stripes. He headed towards his daughter, but he wasn't fast enough. The badger killed Clovepaw, and turned his attention on Brackenstripes. He fought the badger in anger at the death of his only daughter, and managed some heavily dealt wounds on the creature. But one cat is no match for a badger, and Brackenstripes died beside his daughter. Two brothers retaliated at the death of both their father and sister, and charged the badger, nothing but revenge ringing in their heads. The badger, weak from the wounds Brackenstripes had dealt him, sulked off across the border. The two didn't follow. Back at camp, the only anger they faced was from Shadowdove.

But that anger wasn't harsh, and she ran off one day. Shadowdove wasn't seen nor heard from again. Cougarpaw and Cloudpaw only had each other. Cloudpaw was at camp when a kit came rushing in, his breath in ragged gasps. When the kit told them what was going on, Cloudpaw jumped out of the camp, and ran towards his brother. He threw himself at the Deathclan warrior, and with the help of his mentor, the Deathclan warrior fled over the boundaries to his own territory. Soon the two became warriors. Cloudpaw became Cloudspots, Cougarpaw Cougarspots. Cougarspots received the apprentice who had saved his life as a kit. Cougarspots and Foxpaw became close, which meant Cloudspots and Foxpaw were close. The three would go together on hunting patrols.

One day, Cougarspots came back, blood dripping off his pelt. Cloudspots saw him carrying the body of Foxfur. There was a large, gaping wound in the tom's stomach. Cloudspots sat beside Cougarspots as the cats mourned the death of him. When Cougarspots became deputy, Cloudspots was one to yowl the loudest.

*coughs* I know he's not finished, but that's a lot of chatter in his physical description. Let's be a bit more professional and just describe the cat, please?

[blitzy]

Sorry, that's just the way I type. I get distracted and talk about other stuff. Fixed it, but I have some still in it

[Fia]

*nods* That's alright, typing it out and all, it's just that it distracts whoever is trying to understand what the creature looks like, so it's helpful if you remove the commentary once the entire thing is typed out. X3 A little left in there is fine, but it's no substitute for the information that's called for in a proper bio.

[blitzy]

done

I'm absolutely loving the relationship I see between the two brothers here! *hugs kitties* And I was also giggling to myself when I was reading your description because of the way you wrote it... I give you brownie points for making me laugh, but extra babble shouldn't really belong in a bio, no matter how amusing it was. x3 If you could take most, if not all, of that out (especially in the second paragraph) it would be splendid! Otherwise he looks like an amazing cat!!

[blitzy]

Woops, sorry. I didn't even realize it was there. Fixed it.
