Lizardeye
Age: 20 Moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: ShadowClan
Apprentice: None
Rank: Warrior
Mate: Brokenhearted over the death of Dapplepelt
Crush:
Kin: Snaketail, Twistedclaw, Toadpelt, Adderkit, Ivykit
Description: He is a dark tabby tom, like his brothers. His fur is short and bristly. He is a fair sized cat, though only medium in terms of his brother. He's slightly shorter in height than Snaketail. He's not as thin as Snaketail, and not as muscular as Twistedclaw so he's definitely between, an average warrior cat. He is known for his intense jade green eyes for which he is named(His warrior name). He has a white patch from his mouth to his throat. He has a long tail with a black tip. There's a bald nick on the tail from an old fox bite. He has long whiskers. His paws are white with brown pads that are unusually soft.
Personality: Lizardeye is an almost silent cat. He is the brains of the family and he is very observant. His brothers would never make a major decision without him. Lizardeye considers all possibilities. He always chooses words carefully. He's quiet, but very sure of himself. He walks with confident steps and his head is held high. He is a "good cat", in terms that he has been loyal to his Clan. The warrior code, he does question it, but keeps it to himself. Despite the tight pact with his brothers, Lizardeye always seems distant. He's not close to any cat in particular, not since Dapplepelt. His eyes are often glazed with cold intensity, as if he looks right through surrounding cats, unless he's angry. Then they're deep and cutting at whoever he looks at.
History: This will be about the same thing for all of the brothers. Twistedkit, Lizardkit, and Snakekit were all born in the same litter. Snakekit was named for his tail, Lizardkit was named for his fur. But their mother could never explain Twistedkit's name. "It just seemed to fit." she'd reply when asked. The kits, being Newleaf born, suffered little hardship. They were all very rough when playing. And, most importantly, they were all very close.
All three were apprenticed at once. Though their mentors trained them separately, they always came together during freetime or chores. They fended off a fox (a young one) together once. They also fought in Clan battles as one single entity. Lizardpaw the brains, Snakepaw the taunter, and Twistedpaw the muscle, they were unbeatable. This battle plan has withstood the test of time.
Lizardeye fell in love with Dapplepelt shortly after becoming a warrior. He'd never seen her too often, because of his brothers, but when he started noticing her, he fell hard. He began avoiding his brothers in order to spend time with her. Snaketail seemed to understand better than Twistedclaw for some reason (hint, hint). She seemed to feel the same for him, so it was only logical that nothing would get in the way. But, Dapplepelt was brave and headstrong. Always quick and reckless in battle. She was killed, but Lizardeye never found out who was responsible. He became very cold and distant after that day. He refused to speak with his brothers about it. And he focused his brains on advancing ShadowClan. Specklestar learned quickly of his strategic ability and takes his warnings very seriously.
When the time came for them to receive their warrior names, they got into their first ever fight. It was over the warrior code, which was hard to believe because they all seemed so dedicated to it. The rest of the Clan never got the details. It was only a few days after the ceremony when they came together again. From that day on they were inseparable. They hunted together, went on patrols together, and fought together. Specklestar is aware that this is a strong force that can be used for the Clan. But she fears the danger as well.
The three siblings were given three apprentices all at once, Honeypaw, Emberpaw, and Eclipsepaw. Most likely this was done to pass on their strong teamwork to an even younger generation of cats. Recently these apprentices have been made warriors. The two trios are still fairly close, but the dynamic of their relationship has much changed. No longer are they mentors and apprentices, but rather strong allies.
Also a new development is the transformation in their formerly loveless lives, minus Snaketail. Snaketail's mate died in bearing his kits, effectively making him a secret single father. He brought his kits to the Clan claiming they were "lost orphans", but the amount of affection he shows them is dangerous to the lie. Recently, he lost a dear friend of his before he could even work out how he really felt about her. The loss was hard but for his kit's sake he knows he must pull himself together.
Meanwhile, Lizardeye has been spending an unusual amount of time with a certain clanmate. At first, it seemed that he was helping in Brindlepelt's rehabilitation because he felt personally responsible for her shoulder injury. Yet now that the injury has long healed, he continues to spend time with her, sharing meals and volunteering for patrols. The effort to keep in touch is minimal, but his interest is not. If he were not so distracted by other problems, he would likely solve this puzzling fascination he has for her, but as it is, he can only keep it in the back of his mind for later.
Twistedclaw, by the order of Specklestar, has been aiding Feathercloud in gathering herbs. It has taken a long while, but he has grudgingly gotten used to the presence of the she-cat. Dare he say it? Being around Feathercloud has even become sort of pleasant. She later asked for some basic battle training, which Twistedclaw found easy to agree with. But quickly learning that she had no claw for offense, he decided to teach her defense and aversion instead. After all, she was their only medicine cat.
Roleplay example: I love kitty.
Other: I just like the name.
