<---- SUNSTORM
Tom, 55 Moons
RANK: Senior Warrior
ALLIANCE: BoulderClan
APPEARANCE: Large, scarred and mean looking ginger tom.
PERSONALITY: Overall, Sunstorm's a great cat. He's friendly and loving and easily becomes protective of his clan and loved ones, and genuinely wants only the best for pretty much everyone. He's an optimist and a lot of the time his attitude is contagious.
He's not the smartest cat, though. Kind of doofy, and sometimes empty headed, he doesn't always make wise decisions. He's not the cat to come to when you want to make some sort of important decision because he can be impulsive and rash, too. He means well but doesn't know how to follow up good intention with good planning and solid logic.
Like many of his clan, though, his good intentions often don't spread to cats who don't swear their allegiance to BoulderClan. While he's not as outright judgmental about loners or rival clancats as others, he can be stubborn and standoffish when he meets peacefully with them.
Around she-cats he tends to be awkward and bumbling, unsure how to act. He's dimly aware that he's supposed to find a mate to perpetuate his clan but the idea kind of scares him--he doesn't know how to attract a she-cat, much less hold her attention! The only she-cats he has ever been comfortable with have been his mother and his sister, Foxclaw, who he sometimes babies.
There's a whole other side to him, however. In battle he's a totally different cat; a furious, dangerous, fearless cat is born when he rushes to defend his clan. He enters an entirely different state of mind and sometimes goes too far in battles--he has a hard time catching and stopping himself and finds he doesn't want to stop fighting. It's not only others that he damages in battle, though, but himself as well: his reckless and refusal to give up will probably be the end of him.
REASON FOR NAME: While you'd think the name "Sun" came from his light colored coat, that's not the source of it, even if it matches with his name quite well. His mother thought his cheery nature as a kit fit well with the name. "Storm" came from his fighting abilities and willingness to battle for his clan.
FAMILY:
Father: Bouncefoot [deceased]
Mother: Curlear [deceased]
Brothers: Whiteface (littermate)
Sister: Foxclaw
HISTORY: Bouncefoot and Curlear were well known during their time. Bouncefoot was a fierce warrior and hunter and Curlear was his former apprentice, now mate. No cat was surprised when they had kits. Their first litter was two large toms--cats that would soon become Whiteface and Sunstorm.
They had a fairly average kithood, and by the time they reached apprenticeship their parents were proud and expected the best out of their sons. Sunstorm's mentor was Blackfur and Whiteface's was Rattooth. As an apprentice, Sunstorm learned to love fighting, and in border skirmishes the clan noticed his skill. When he was made into a warrior, he was given then name "storm" to honor his fierce abilities.
He grew to love life as a warrior. He and his brother were close and he had the respect of some of the senior warriors and that filled him with pride. He loved to think that he was serving his clan, that he was appreciated and well known. For a while, his life was relatively uneventful.
His parents had a second litter, with only one kit--she would soon become Foxclaw. Sunstorm fawned over her and had to sometimes be chased from the Nursery, and he had hoped to be her mentor but his leader knew better than to trust the mentoring to her--he wouldn't be nearly tough enough on her.
Not long after the apprenticeship of his sister, he was on dawn patrol with his mother (fresh out of the nursery), Blackfur, and several other cats. They encountered rouges snooping about in the territory and they fought hard. Both his mentor and his mother were killed.
The clan grieved, and his father lost his desire to fight or patrol and he retired to the Elder's den and died soon of a broken heart, for he loved his mate passionately. Sunstorm was sad to see him go but was glad he went peacefully.
Life continued.
