Cat's Name: Smoothstep
Cat's Age: 45 moons
Gender: Tom
Alliance: WindClan
Position: Warrior
Appearance: <blockquote>Unusually tall, Smoothstep stands over many of his clan-mates, with strong lean legs. His face is broad, not a face one could call handsome, but his bright oval green eyes somewhat make up for that. His fur is nicely kept, short and a silver color, black specks along his sides and tail. A twisted scar runs across the side of his face, running from his torn right ear down to the side of his neck. </blockquote>Personality: <blockquote>Like his name would suggest, Smoothstep is just as smooth and graceful with his words as he is with his paws. Yet it's his large expressive eyes that tell more then he could ever say. His self-sufficient and arrogant manner (plus his strange views of the world), usually aggravate those he talks to, however, he has unwavering trust and loyalty to all his clan mates. This sometimes results in him reckless jumping in to protect or help them. Some see this and label him as stupid, this is not true however, he is only dense (and super forgetful). and what he doesn't have in brain's he makes up for with courage and spirit.</blockquote>History: <blockquote>I was born in Windclan, my mother (Ravenwing), and my father (Jetblack) two strong and dependent warriors, that many looked up to. I was one of those many and as a kit I tried my best to teach myself all I needed to know to become a warrior. I had hoped then that if I trained hard enough as a kit they'd let me become a warrior early. But my kit ways had only seemed to amuse those around me. I like every other kit had to wait to become a warrior, but the waiting taught me patience (a little, but better then none).
When I became an apprentice and earned my new name Smoothpaw, I had felt so good! Nothing could make me feel bad after that. I strutted around like a rooster for moons. I guess that's were my arrogance comes from, and from the fact that I could out hunt my own mentor.
The time for me to become a warrior came all to quickly, apprentice life was the best, I remember almost telling the leader I hadn't wanted the position as warrior yet. But I had held my tongue. However some days I wish I had said it, some days I remember that terrible day and I wished I had never become a warrior.
Only a few sunrises after I had become a warrior I had went out hunting alone. I had wanted to impress the clan with my superior hunting skills. But I had forgotten the warning about the fox that had been seen, that had not yet been chased off. So as I hunted threw Windclan, I was surprised when a fox attacked me. I had known I was going to die, I had known that I alone couldn't take on the fox. But I fought anyways, every tooth and claw! But it wasn't enough. The foxes claws had raked down the side of face down to my neck (the same scar from the description). I was rendered unconscious. Surprisingly however I had not been killed. I woke several days later in the medicine cats den to discover that my mother and father had saved me. My mother had died. But my father was able to chase the fox away and drag me back to camp before he went for my mother. When he came back he died only hours later.
The weight of there lose devastated me and ever since I have frowned upon the day I became a warrior, angry at myself that I had not sad anything. But life goes on and so did I. However the fox left me with a scar, one that always reminds me. As does the damage it did to my voice. </blockquote>Roleplay Sample: <blockquote>Strutting around like a rooster, silver fur flashed threw the tall grass. A single black speckled tail rising high above the sea of brown, Smoothstep couldn't have been more happy with himself. He had caught three rabbits and two mice and it was only a little past sun-high. Pushing his way out of the thick tall grass, he breathed deeply, giving a toothy grin. He'd hunt once more before talking his catch back to the clan. With that happy thought in mind he started forward only to be brought down from behind.
Fox!
Yowling furiously, the tom withered, hissing in pain when teeth meet his scruff. Managing to roll free, the tom spun on his attacker, staring up into the beady black eyes of the fox. It's red fur, bristled and it's teeth glistening as it snarled. He couldn't win this battle, and there was no where he could run! The only tree's where behind the fox!
How could he have forgotten the warring of a fox! He was so stupid!
The fox lunged, jaws open. Smoothstep danced back striking out with his claws, the fox jerked back with a growl but was leaping forward once again almost instantly. Jumping to the side, he leaped at it, bitting into it's leg, his back legs kicking and scratching at the foxes side. Claws met the toms back and he was jerked from the fox, teeth digging into his scruff once more, the fox viscously shook his head. Hissing and spitting, the young warrior struggled, raking his claws along the Fox's muzzle.
He was flying, then falling. Landing on the ground with a hard thud, his breath left him. And as he struggled to regain his paws, the fox advanced, it's claws swiping quickly down his face. Smoothstep jerked away, the foxes claws narrowly missing his eye. Falling once more, pain burned threw his face and his vision became dotted in black.
The last thing he saw was the foxes glistening teeth.</blockquote>Comments/Other: <blockquote>Because of the wound he recived from the fox his voice is kind of small, and he doesn't talk much because it pains him.</blockquote>
