Description: Crowstripe is an average-looking cat. He is normal sized, if just a little on the thin side. His ears are a little on the small side. His face is rounded, with a muzzle that's normal in length. He has medium-length, coarse-ish fur. His legs are a little long. His tail is short, though. He has a pinky-brown nose, black and gray whiskers and black paw pads.
He is a gray cat. He is a tabby, but he has no stripes on his head. The stripes begin at about his shoulders, but they are still faint there, and darken the closer they get to his tail. There is one dark sripe going down the middle of his back, and all the tabby stripes seem to connect to that. His muzzle is tinged with a dirty whitish color. And finally, his eyes are a yellow that stand out in contrast with the rest of his pelt.
Personality: Crowstripe has some good things and bad things about. We'll start with the bad. He can be over-trusting (except for cats in other Clans), such as of loners and rogues and kittypets. He hates to offend other cats, even accidently, and takes great care in what he says. This sometimes makes him come across as shy. He is also rather self-conscious and easily offended. This might be why he hates to offend others, because he thinks everyone is as easily offended as him. He's a bit of a coward, like in a fight, but only because he can't stand seeing others hurting or something.
Now, the good things. Crowstripe is very focused and determined. If he says he wants something done, he does it, and makes sure that it is done. He rarely breaks his promises. He is a very loyal friend, and rather protective of the cats he loves. He might come across as shy, but that's just to cats who don't know him well. He is very chatty around his friends, and likes to share a good joke. He is a cat that cat rarely be seen wearing a frown or unhappy. He is content wiht his life. He has problems hating other cats, and most cats don't dislike him, either because they don't know him well enough to hate him, or because they know him too well to hate him. He cares very much about any and every cat, no matter who they are.
History: Crowstripe has had a pretty average Clan life. It started with his kithood. He was given the name Crowkit. His litter included himself with two other kits. There's not much to say about it. He played with the other kits and liked listening to the elders tell stoies. He enjoyed that the most, since he was a good listener, and the elders became attached to him.
Then he was apprenticed to a new warrior. He was the warrior's first apprentice, so his mentor also got some help from the more experienced warriors. He and his mentor formed a strong bond, as most mentors and apprentices do. He progressed slowly but surely. He was in a borderfight, and hated seeing his Clanmembers hurt, so now he automatically shys away from any mention of battle.
His training progressed slowly but surely, and before he knew it, he was becoming a warrior and recieving the name Crowstripe. There was another borderfight, and in this one his mentor was killed. He felt bad; they had become good friends. He and his siblings grew apart - they hadn't had much in common, anyway, since he was quieter and they were more rambunctious and daring.
He met Sootwhisker a few moons after becoming a warrior. They'd already known eachother, since they were in the same Clan and trained together, but then they fell in love. They became mates. When he was a little over twenty moons, the medicine cat told them about Sootwhisker was having kits. After the birth, though, the medicine cat told them their kits had died. Not only was Sootwhisker sad, but Crowstripe was, too. He had been looking forward to having kits.
Now, he is excitedly awaiting the arrival of his new kits. He was pleased that they were still going to be parents. He spends most of the time that he's not doing his warrior duties with Sootwhisker, in the nursery.

Other: Yeah, his pic's not too tabby-ish, but its the closest I could find. Gray tabby pictures are surprisingly difficult to find.
