Detailed Appearance .
dark russet tabby tom with green eyes; his left eye is scarred badly
Garnetstorm is a huge cat, standing a full inch over Aspenthorn, who is large as well, but Garnet has to go the extra mile and be extremely fluffy. His fur is long and prosperous. No matter how much thorns rip out, he still has enough to hide a bald patch. And his fur, close to his skin, is actually golden, but, if you follow a single hair away from his body, you can watch it go from golden, to soot-black. And that is where he gets his russet-black colour. His green eyes stand out on their own from his expressive face, which is lean and angled, to an extremely handsome degree. He weighs a slight resemblance to Aspenthorn, but then again, they're cousins, so it can't mean anything bad.
Garnetstorm is usually seen, though, on the ground, crouched with kits or young apprentices by his side, or clamboring over him, so his fur, on his legs, belly, and chest, are flattened slightly, tousled like a human man's hair would when he runs his hand through it. And his fur is never really all the way clean, dirt and small pockets of mud can be found on his legs and shoulders. Scars can be forgotten, and wounds are terrible to treat because of his fur.
After a fierce, and rather short, battle with Bravery, Garnetstorm received a wound that few thought possible. His pretty face is marred in a pretty bad way. His left eye can barely open, three scratches running diagonally toward his nose. It reaches from his ear's base to his nose tip, travelling over his muzzle. The scar is pinkish-white and no fur grows over it.

The true gentle giant of the Clan, Garnetstorm is a maine-coon- persian- american-longhair mix and although he retains the coon's size and pelt, he has the longhair's gentle disposition, and the Persian's handsome features.

Unusual Quirks . sleeping with his tongue tip out of his mouth, smiling with a snaggletooth
Phobias . thanatophobia
Fears . Bravery's return
Likes . kits, having his family be happy, protecting those weaker
Dislikes . Bravery, death of kits, death in general, not being able to protect at all
Mental Diseases/Disorders . ptsd
Brief Personality . Confidence radiates off of this tom, and his protective and loyal instincts have driven him to remain in his Clan.
Detailed Personality .
Very confident in himself and his rank, and extreme in everything he does, Garnetstorm is very friendly toward other cats and loyal to his Clan and family. He is very protective of his sisters, often shown in how he treats Lionroar and Solarpelt, two toms that have strict interest in his two littermates. He is a very fearful tom though and, when danger is near, will stick closer to his family more and more.
- update: unknown
Garnetstorm loves everyone in his Clan as if they were his real family, even though when danger does come, he distinguishes it quickly, even cranky and murderous tyrant Nightblaze. He is often seen in the RP to be crowded by the kits near the nursery, playing with them, or, as shown when Eris came to the Clan to drop off her daughter, acting as a barrier between those younger than him and a possible threat.
- update: january 12-15
The true gentle giant of the Clan, Garnetstorm is always fiercely loyal to his Clan, though moreso to those he considers family. He has never kept it a secret that, if push should come to shove, his first motive will be to protect his family. Although this may not seem to be the best trait for a Clan-borne warrior, he wasn't born in EclipseClan. Born in the forest miles from where the Clan was, he was a moon and a half old when he arrived at the camp with his mother, aunts, and sisters.
In battle, Garnetstorm is fierce and, like his brother, uses only brawn. His favourite techniques are rising up on his back paws, becoming even taller and larger, and using both of his front paws, which are huge and wickedly clawed, bring them down with crushing force on his enemy's head, neck, or shoulders.
History .
His mother was a pretty persian mix she-cat named Dapple, and his father was never given a name, but he was told he was a large grey tom with orange toes and thick fur, and a superiority complex to match his massive build. The tom of course stuck around for a little while before Dapple's younger sisters, Raven and Robin, appeared.
He was born as the strongest of the litter, and it was obviously that he would take his grandfather's great size. His youngest sibling was his brother, whom Raven named Bravery whenever Dapple decided to leave him unnamed, who was born with blackcough and sentenced to death by nature. It only took a couple days, but soon there were only three kits left to Dapple: Garnet, Blue, and Storm.
Growing up with a purely she-cat influence, Gar defied logic and took the role as tom of the family and would after tell his aunts what to do, and back up his mother. His first word was, "Listen."
When he was two months old, Dapple and Robin got into an argument and he noticed that Raven was nowhere to be seen, and then Dapple gathered her kits together and carried Storm while Robin took Blue. Garnet was told to follow between them and keep up and stay quiet. Soon, they reached the edge of a gorgeous forest, not the valley he had known all of his life, and Raven was waiting there with a patrol of strangers.
EclipseClan.
Behind the scenes, during his childhood and apprenticeship, ClawClan had become increasingly more dangerous and hostile, and he was caught up in many border skirmishes. His aunts and mother were renamed Dappledheart, Robinfire, and Ravenbeast.
He grew up there, and found himself falling in love with the idea of the Clan, of being respected and powerful enough to protect his mother and family. He was soon adopted by Lunastar and became close, inseparable friends with Phoenixblaze. His apprenticeship went quickly because even as a kit he was being taught in all ways of the warrior and crept up into being one of the best surprisingly quick. At twelve moons, he was named Garnetstorm and he sat vigil with his sisters, the quiet and stoic Stormbreak and the freshly-blind and beautiful Blueshadow.
And then ClawClan attacked and Ravenbeast was killed, assumingly by the huge white tom, Jawbone, who had been crouched over her at her death, his teeth in her throat. Robinfire, her twin, was crushed, and vowed to kill the tom who had murdered her sister, and Dappledheart comforted her while Garnetstorm and his sisters watched in silence as Cloudjump worked silently alongside her mentor, Jaysight.
A while later, the summer heat was unbearable and Garnetstorm went out on patrol with his aunt and mother, meeting Jawbone along the way. The tom was broken and sad, and begged them to care for Ravenbeast's legacies, two small bundles of fur named Aspen and Holly. They were the same age Garnet had been when he had moved into the Clan moons ago. Although Robinfire still wanted him dead, she couldn't kill her sister's kit's father in front of the kits. Dappledheart promised and took them to the camp, moments later a fire started up because of twolegs, of course, and the Clan was forced to move to the river bank.
Jawbone disappeared for five moons.
Garnetstorm was given Hollypaw to mentor when she was six moons old, and he felt proud of the she-cat as she slowly blossomed away from shy and friendly to outgoing and confident. He began to think of her as a sister instead of a cousin, and even though he knew she had a crush on him because of how chivalrous he was, he still teased her and pretended to ignore it until she found someone else to crush on.
When Hollypaw became Hollywhisper, Jawbone had once again shown up, and this time tainted with evil and with a group made up of rogues and ex-ClawClan members, threatening war and destruction on the Clan that mutilated his home.
But then Garnetstorm found June and fell in love. June was a pretty orange- and- white-tabby kittypet from a long ways along in the road and he was a young warrior and he thought he had found his true love. Of course, she was just wanting a tom to quench her thirst while she looked for her home and left him in the dust. Heartbroken, Garnetstorm heard two loners talking about a she-cat who could change memories at will. Asking them where he could find her, they replied that she only came to those who were patient. So he travelled to his valley on a hunch and right before he fell asleep in his old den, a badger's abandoned sett, he mewed, "Show me my memories." And when he woke up, he remembered nothing about her except her name.
Moons passed under this threat and Garnetstorm aged considerably, and grey hairs became evident on his maw and throat as he began to be pressured. Phoenixblaze and himself were put into being temporary deputies as their aging leader lost his deputy and was never given the time to call a new one. The Clan swelled and dwindled during the moons, and kits grew into apprentices, warriors, had kits of their own, as they waited for the Pirates to attack.
When they did, it in a big felling swoop, and the darkness shrouded them. Many were killed on both sides, the most tragic being Yinheart and Yangshadow (Eris). Of course, that couldn't be all. For the entire battle, Garnetstorm was tracking and stalking his brother. Yes, Bravery, who had been brought into the dead ranks of the Dark Forest as Thrushfeather's (one of the warriors of EclipseClan) father's second-in-command and adopted son. His cough was gone, it seemed, and he was just as big as Garnetstorm and was matched in everything his living brother excelled in, as if he had stalked and practiced everything he had.
After this, the Clan was forced to move because a new threat had popped up: rats in the old camp had multiplied past retrieval and were edging closer and closer to their new territory's border. When the elders were told they needed to move, Robinfire and Dappledheart simply shook their heads and mewed, "We're too old to uproot once more. We're going to fight for our Clan's home so it can be safe." And when the Clan left, the ones who remained in the riverside camp raced towards the old one on a suicide mission.
While journeying, it becomes evident that Garnetstorm had developed severe post-traumatic stress-disorder, and his memory broke completely one night and everything about June returned to him. Gladly enough, Cloudjump gave him herbs for what he claimed a headache and he soon decided it had been mere infatuation and he had no more life in him to love.
And then EclipseClan merged with the Glaring.

Is this character based of off anyone? He wasn't initially, but slowly, he became what I wanted for myself: unopinionated, loving, generous, happy in just about everything, and overall just the one tom in the Clan everyone loved, no matter what.
Plots . He and Cloudjump have been attracted to each other for years, but their friendship has always been stronger. To settle their hearts, they will die curled up together, with the most important three words melting on their lips as they fall into StarClan.
