clan of soaring birds ♦ 8 seasons ♦ tom ♦ straight ♦ leader ♦ none Appearance Tigerstar is a rather unique looking tom. His coat is a dark mix of blacks, browns, and caramel, with the slight exception of his white chin and his chest that fades from dark to snow. His nose is a milk chocolate, his tail striped like a raccoon, and his claws sharp as an eagle's talons. Though, perhaps the very first thing others notice about him is his piercing light green eyes, as they stand out against the darkness of the rest of his body. Tigerstar is built with dense muscle, giving him a lean appearance, but that would be a fool's observation as that is not the truth of him at all. In fact, Tigers has proven his strength time and time again in his life as a warrior and he has the scars to prove it. His legs are long and swift, his ears sensitive to the happenings around him. He has no obvious flaws, perhaps they are more mental than physical. Personality Strengths Self-confident- Tigerstar knows himself, and he knows what he can and can't do. He also knows there isn't much he can't do. He's ambitious in the best ways and is full of determination to meet goals. He isn't afraid to voice his opinions. He trusts himself and his abilities. He's strong-willed and loves a challenge. Energetic- Nothing slows this guy down, he likes taking on responsibilities and while that may scare others away, he thrives on it. He's filled with a kit-like energy, too. He enjoys playing with the kits and apprentices and spending time with his friends. Charismatic- Tigerstar is easy to get along with, maybe it's his charm, or his kindness, or his natural ability to be a social butterfly, but those around him just generally like him. He's able to inspire and encourage others and create relationships with much effort. Weaknesses Stubborn- While at sometimes this quality can be helpful and even a good thing, it can be a double-edged sword. There are times when Tigerstar presses his opinion a little too much. Almost to the point where he gets tunnel vision, "it's my way or the highway." Some may even say he can act "childish" if he doesn't get his way. Impatient- He has a lot to do, being a tom with many responsibilities, he can't wait around twitching his tail. He hardly needs extra time to think, being so quick on his feet. And sometimes when others take an extra second to contemplate, he mistakes it for lack of intelligence. History Tigerkit This tom's story begins not with him, but with a love story between a warrior and a huntress. Though the pair of lovebird's met in the normal way and their story is rather boring, their undying love was true and an inspiration to their kits and friends around them. Their names were Cloudstream and Hailwatcher. And when they announced Cloudstream's pregnancy the Clan rejoiced with them, as they had waited a long time for these kits and had trouble producing them. They knew this would be their only litter. They were extra careful during Cloudstream's prenatal period, the pregnancy was rough on her body and when it was time to push, it took more time than usual. Hailwatcher waited and waited and waited, he was a mess. But, when he was finally called in all his fears melted away into a whole new kind of love, one he had never known. The sight of Cloudstream purring with four little wriggling bodies snuggled into her side left him with a feeling he would never forget. They named their kits, Lionkit, Leopardkit, Cougarkit, and Tigerkit.
Tigerpaw And so came the time for Tigerkit and his siblings to leave their mother's side and become apprentices. Their ceremony was only a few days away when a terrible storm blew through, one that with wind so strong it blew around small, yet still heavy, rocks and various debris around. All cats in Soaring Birds were ordered to stay under cover until it passed. Lionkit and Cougarkit were play fighting and Lionkit chased Cougarkit out in the storm. He tried to call after her to stop, but she couldn't hear his cries and raced straight into the rain. In a panic, Cloudstream followed after her frantically. Tigerkit, Lionkit, and Leopardkit stood by nervously waiting. A soaking wet Cougarkit came back in, tears streaming down her face as she said their mother was pinned and she needed their help to get her out. Tigerkit quickly jumped in the entrance way to block his siblings from leaving the den once more. "Mother told us not to leave under ANY circumstance. If she can get hurt out there, we can too. And maybe even worse. We have to wait for the storm to pass." He wanted to go out there and save his mother just as badly as the others, but what good could they really do if they were struck by something as well?
Once the storm died down, Tigerkit led his siblings out of their hiding place. He saw their father and many others from the Clan gathered. He heard Cougarkit take in a sharp breath before taking a steady run toward the group. Tigerkit eagerly took off after her, followed by Lionkit and Leopardkit. They pushed through the crowd to see the Clan's medicine cat sitting solemnly with his head bowed, Hailwatcher on the ground, not moving. And beside him the lifeless body of Cloudstream.
Tigermist Tigerpaw took his assessment alongside his sister Leopardpaw, which they both passed with flying colors. That night their warrior ceremony was held and Tigerpaw became Tigermist. His sister and him sat in vigil that night overlooking their Clan. Tigermist proved himself over and over again as he volunteered to lead patrols and spent much of his time fixing up camp. It wasn't long before he was appointed his first apprentice. Her name was Breezepaw and she was a very spunky she-cat with so much potential to be a great warrior. She caught on quick and in record time was ready for her assessment. She easily passed and was named Breezefoot. She was Tigermist's proudest accomplishment.
The Clan's current leader was on his last life and was older than most of the elders. Soaring Bird's deputy, Ravenfur, was impatient. To the whole Clan's shock, he attempted to take his final life so he could take his place as leader. Tigermist caught him fighting Ravenfur off while on a private patrol while out searching for his leader to deliver a message to him. He successfully helped fight off Ravenfur and he was banished, with Tigermist to take his place. Eventually, Tigermist's leader came down with a terrible sickness and lost his last life, leaving Tigermist to take his place as Tigerstar. Roleplay Sample: Green eyes glowed bring in the darkness that surrounded him. An uneasiness prickled his pelt and forced the hair to stand upright. Something was wrong, he was in danger, those eyes eerily familiar. He squinted his eyes and tilted his head in attempt to remember where in the world he knew them from. "Show yourself! Who are you?" He called out. But all he got in return was a menacing chuckle. But that was all he needed to decipher just who it was that was stalking him, the one whose green eyes haunted. He'd recognize that voice anywhere. "Ravenfur," he growled. The tom was always in the back of his mind. He had been banished many moons earlier, but he was still out there and there was always a possibility he'd return to create trouble for Soaring Birds. But he got no reply, on the sound of the shuffling of paws behind him. He whipped around, when he heard Ravenfur behind him, again! He whipped around once more. Nothing. Crouching, he allowed his senses to take over, closing his eyes as they were useless in this dark setting. He heard shuffling from in front of him this time, the he felt a breeze and he opened his eyes. In an instant he saw him clear as day. Black fur, green eyes, sharp claws and razor-like fangs aimed right at him as he leaped at him.He woke with a start and a she-cat stirred beside him. Breezefoot, his former apprentice and one of his closest friends, yawned wide. "Tigermist," she mewed softly as to not disturb the others sleeping sounded around him. "Are you all right?" He nodded, lying. He wondered if this dream was sent to him by his dear ancestors, a warning of Ravenfur's return, perhaps? He wasn't yet a leader. He was to make that journey this morning. It must've just been a nightmare. "Go back to sleep, Breezefoot." He stood, stretching. Uneasiness still reigning in his body, his paws were pricked with anxiety as he slipped out of the den. He looked into the empty clearing that was their camp. He saw the empty leader's den. Where he would sleep, alone. He was so used to sleeping surrounded by his friends and family. To go from that to solitude would be strange, to say the least. He looked to the nursery, the last place he saw his mother alive. The first place he made a leadership choice to keep his siblings inside away from the storm and away from their mother. Could they have helped her? He often wondered how many different way that scenario would have gone. Honestly though, what could a bunch of kits have done to save her? They would've gotten themselves hurt or killed in the process and she would have died regardless. He mind wandered, then, to his sister. She blamed herself, and part of him blamed her too. She was reckless and it cost Cloudstream her life, the Clan a valuable hunter, her siblings a mother, and Hailwatcher a mate. He turned his vision then to the medicine cat's den. He was awake now, so he might as well begin his preparations to make his trip to share tongues with his ancestors and receive his new name. With that, he moved toward the first step of many before he could leave. He chest a tangle of nerves, excitement, and sadness. Word Count: 576.
