Name: Silverstripe
Age: 13 moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: RiverClan
Apprentice: None
Rank: Warrior
Mate/Crush: Dewleaf, but he doesn't know it yet. ;)
Kin: N/A
Description: With a long and lithe body, it's no wonder why he was named the way he was. Silverstripe is covered in light silver-gray fur down to his feet. A neat tabby pattern of darker black fur follows, leaving enough room apart for the markings to be distinguished from each other as stripes. The stripes are a defining feature and of course, one of the main reasons for his name. Silverstripe is not gifted with the protective undercoat of most RiverClan cats; it's at a medium length and does not shield him well from wetness. As a result, he has a dislike of water not traditional for cats of his Clan. At some points it took tough persuasion from his mentor to get him into the water.
Silverstripe isn't thin or big, neither tall nor short. He is not long-limbed, but it is the lengthiness of his body and the quick fluidness with which he moves that earned him his name along with the obvious meaning. Last, his eyes are deep green and rich in color.
Personality: Silverstripe has many small attributes to his personality and a few overall traits. In the face of others, he is most often quiet and obedient to those of higher rank than himself. He has stubborn and irritable moments which come about every so often, but usually do not last longer than a little while. He minds his own business and does things at his own pace. He hates being rushed into things, and that includes waking up in the morning. He is respectful to most, including cats from other Clans, however one of the things that most causes him to be angry is cats who flaunt their abilities and claim to be the best- especially when they're not that talented. His own abilities are average, but he worked hard to improve them during his apprenticeship. He still has the naiveness and energy of a young cat; he doesn't know everything but is devoted to his Clan. Silverstripe has an easygoing, fun loving side too, which often comes out only around is friend Dewleaf.
History: Silverkit was born in greenleaf during peaceful times. He was an only kit among several other kits. His mother was watchful and protective, but gave him his space and even let him venture a little ways out of camp. The two got along but Silverkit didn't feel particularly close to her. He spent much time playing with the other kits and just having fun.
Once he became an apprentice, his playfulness and happiness seemed to disappear. He became quiet, attentive, and even a little apathetic. All of his concentration went to his training and focusing on getting stronger and improving his skills. He was still close to his friends but also somehow distant and silently determined to train hard. It was about halfway through his apprenticeship when he started to grow closer to one apprentice specifically, a she-cat named Dewpaw. Before he knew it he was spending almost all of his time with her. Silverpaw liked training with her and just being around her. They became closer every day until they were best friends. She seemed to bring out his better side again, the enjoyable side that wasn't afraid to have fun and relax. The two weren't the same but they weren't complete opposites either. They would find the silliest things to argue about and would squabble about something almost every day, but forget about their fight as soon as it started up. Whatever the reason, Silverpaw felt himself continuously drawn to her and her bright, fun attitude.
They were made warriors on the same day, and Silverstripe sat his vigil that night proudly. About a moon later they are still very close, not driven apart by warrior duties or anything else. Silverstripe wants the fun times to continue to last and for nothing to disrupt their friendship.
Roleplay example: Silverpaw doesn't like being called a girl. xP 'Cause apparently silver is a feminine prefix.
Other: The original inspiration for him came from one of the pages on my calender. I loved the picture so much I scanned it and created Silverpaw. :3
