Character's name:
Oakstorm
Position:
Hopes to be deputy
Personality:
Oakstorm is a little unsure with big groups of cats, but hides this well. He's the type of Tom who is ready to fight, despite how many injuries he might have. Although his nature could be seen as violent, he's actually not like that. His lust for battles goes back to always wanting to protect his clan, regardless of what is involved. At first, he would usually lose those fights, but now, he does pretty well. He's very levelheaded and straight-laced.
In day-to-day clan life he's one of those cats which have gained respect, although not through the battles he's fought. He's just one of those cats whose friendly, calm, and not a little wise. He's seen a lot, despite his reasonably short life. This gives him a unruffled aura, and makes him as dependable and solid as an oak.
Why would they be good for this position?:
Oakstorm would be good for the position because he's loyal, above all else. He would follow his leader to the end of the river, if she asked him to. Despite this unfailing loyalty, he tries to regard decisions made in the clan from an outsiders point of view, pointing out small flaws in the plan. I think this ability to detach himself momentarily would give him an edge as deputy, or leader. Although he does hope to be deputy one day, he knows if some-one else becomes it over him, it is because they have more to offer to the clan. He would trust them and swear his loyalty with no hesitation.
