Name: Briarpaw
Age: 11 moons
Gender: Male
Clan: SkyClan
Rank: Apprentice
Description:
Briarpaw is a slim, long-legged cat. His fur is coarse and short, with a dusty feel to the traditional brown tabby color. His eyes are narrow and pale green, while his ears are a little small for his body. His stripes are thin and hard to see except across his front legs, where they are most prominent. His tail is long and the tip is black, giving it an accented look. Briarpaw has long, thin claws and the perfect body for running quickly over any turf. He has two tears in his left ear, but he rarely speaks about how he got them.
Personality:
Briarpaw is honest, fun-loving, but a bit lazy at times. He sees time as something to be enjoyed, and rarely wastes it doing things he doesn't like. He's selfish sometimes, due to his upbringing outside the Clan, but he's also extremely loyal to his friends and would stick up for any of them, even if it meant being killed for it. Briarpaw is smart, even if he doesn't look it, and while he's not always good at understanding people, he does know a few ways to encourage. He may put up a bravado sometimes, but he's generally not a bad cat.
History:
Briarpaw's mother was a barn cat named Noir. Noir was quiet, respectful, and sometimes too serious, but she'd fallen for a wandering stray named Dirk all the same. Dirk left her soon after he knew the kits would be coming. Noir was angry and bitter after that, directing all her anger to the kits growing within her. When they were born, they would be her only companions. But Noir was still stern with them, making them work as soon as they were strong enough to walk on their own. She taught them to hunt and had them practice, she had them clean out the bedding, she had them bring catmint from the garden. Out of her three kits (Spoon, Miko, and Bary), only one ever became rebellious - Bary. Bary was adventurous and talkative, and a tad bit too much like his father. The tom wanted to see the world, and would spend much of his time gazing up at the sky longingly, hoping for freedom. Noir grew angry with him one day when she told him to hunt but he wandered off instead. She found him sitting on the roof and scolded him harshly, clawing his ears to prove her point. Bary took the beating but ran away soon after, never looking back. He wandered for a long time, glad for once he could hunt at such a young age (he was nine moons then). He spent some time with a loner named Jaylyn, then continued on to find SkyClan. He liked it there immediately, with the strangely named cats and the rigid codes that still allowed for friendship, family, and a little freedom. He liked the idea of it so he joined, saying that his name was "Briar" and never telling any cat about his past. He's been living in the Clan ever since.
