Name: Sleetpaw (Sleetclaw)
Age: 11 moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: WindClan
Position: Apprentice
Description: As a WindClan member, he is fast and lean. His bone structure adequate for the speed that comes from countless of his ancestors living in the open, windy plains of WindClan territory. However, as a tom, he maintains a bulkier build than a she-cat. His paws are thicker and more powerful, yet not enough to confer him the strength of a bigger, more muscular tomcat, which makes it difficult for close combat. He uses his speed to his advantage, however, and his lithe movements to avoid harm. As a Somali, his muzzle is not flat as a Persian’s yet it is not as elongated as a Siamese’s, but rather medium sized. His perked, triangular ears with a soft rounded tip, are medium bordering on longish giving him a somewhat fox-like similarity. His basic fur color is a pale white, with the characteristic ticking of bluish gray at the middle to the tip of the hairs that are noticeable in blue Somalis, giving him a lavender and silvery appearance. The ticking is not uniform, being more prominent on his back, leaving a white muzzle, throat, underbelly and paws. The closer to the spine, the darker the gray shades, running from his forehead to his rump, and creating an even darker gray line from the base of his tail to the tip. His paw pads and nose are a lavender color, which matches his fur in a darker solid hue. He bears a warm medium-length coat, which is even bushier at the tail, a Somali trait. His slanted, almond-shaped orbs hold a calm gaze and a pale amber color, contrasting with his opaque pelt.
Personality: Sleetpaw is the litter’s firstborn and a calm, level-headed tom. His attitude might make him look serious and cold. Yet he is kind. In his own way. He just isn’t easily amused, and might seem cold distant, and of course, lacks a sense of humor. In reality though, he just has difficulty interacting with other cats, or just is too uninterested to really put more effort on his social skills; far from shy, he is just reserved. His presence is not that of an insecure cat, on the contrary, he is a confident, quiet tom with a strong sense of loyalty and determination. He is more of a ‘do than say’ cat, yet he won’t lunge mindlessly at something, preferring to think before acting. He is the very opposite of his sister, Vixenpaw, and although he does not voice his affection for her, he looks after her with the care their deceased parents would have given them if they had not joined StarClan’s ranks a two months after they were born. He is protective of those he cares or respects, and even though his interior might seem impenetrable, he does have a soft spot, specially for his sister, to the point of sometimes being indulgent. He is a fervent believer of StarClan, and a humble WindClan apprentice.
History: Sleetpaw is the firstborn and only tom of a litter of three. Unfortunately, the runt of the litter could not make it past a few sunsets and quickly joined StarClan’s ranks. His sister, Vixenpaw and him remained. The siblings were born to a pure lineage of WindClan cats; pride in their ancestor’s loyalty and pure blood. Yet, not much of this could be instilled on the kits for their parents, passed away two moons after their birth. Young and unmoved, Sleetkit remained strong when his sister wavered in sorrow, thus becoming the silent but firm protector. The queen and the sire had died, in what came to be in soon-to-be apprentice Sleetkit’s opinion, a dignified death, for they had fought for the sake of the clan. He wasn’t sad, he had just been a kit, and even Vixenkit’s pain was quickly eased, and with time, their progenitor’s presence was naught but an ethereal memory. He focused on living the normal life of a loyal WindClan cat, he was aware that his was not the only tragedy, and that many cats too, had lost their kin, but they weren’t alone. Their clan, WindClan was their family.
