TIME AFTER TIME I'M GOING IN BLIND, I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY I NEED TO GO
name...jadeclaw
age...19 moons
gender...male
clan...leopardclan
position...warrior
species...clouded leopard
apperance...Jadeclaw is a pretty typical clouded leopard: his coat is tawny, and is distinctively marked with large, irregularly-shaped, dark-edged ellipses that are unique to his species. He's lithe, but not scrawny, and weighs at about 40lbs while standing at an average 30cm at the shoulder.
Due to his species, Jadeclaw has very long canid teeth (clouded leopards have the largest canines of all felid species), giving him a bit of a menacing look when he hisses or growls. Again, due to his heritage, Jadeclaw is an excellent climber: He has short, flexible legs, large paws, and sharp claws which combine to make him very sure-footed in the canopies.
Perhaps the last thing noticeable about Jadeclaw is his tail, which is almost the length of his entire body. This allows for perfect balance and accuracy. Truly he is built to be a strong Warrior.
personality...Jadeclaw is a rather serious leopard, despite his young age. He takes all of his duties seriously, and learns and excels extremely quickly after only a few times of demonstration. That said, if the same thing is being taught to him over and over again, Jadeclaw quickly loses all interest, and may become irritable and smart-alacky. This also goes with repeating himself. He does not like to tell anyone things twice, and oftentimes this gives the illusion that Jadeclaw is impatient.
Jadeclaw has a very strong sense of justice, but sometimes acts rash to do what he thinks is right. Oftentimes he will run into the heat of battle or snap at a rival cat or clan to protect others close to him before seeing the entirety of the situation. This makes him an ideal leader for a definite fight, but not for patrolling.
Despite all of this, Jadeclaw is still just a young cat. As much as he tries to be serious all the time, there are moments where he likes to kick back and let his more playful side take over, though he'll usually shows this side through vigorous running, swimming, or battle practice.
Jadeclaw, pretty uptight, cannot stand kits that try to bother him. Though he is obviously not much older then the small creatures, he believes his intellect and age puts him above the youngsters.
history...Jadeclaw was not a Clanborn cat to begin with. Early in his life, he and his mother were separated in a winter storm. The young Clouded Leopard, with nowhere to go, looked up to the stars and remembered that his mother had told him of ancient felines that would watch over him in times of trouble. Taking that to heart, he prayed to the heavens for help.
His journey through the snow and sleet brought him to the boarder of LeopardClan, nearly frozen to the bones and weak with hunger and exhaustion. The Medicine cat, Ashheart, nursed him back to health, and when the time came for him to leave, Jadeclaw decided he would rather take on the role of an apprentice, because these cats also believed in StarClan, which was so similar to the myth that his mother once told him. He was still too young to be an apprentice, however, and weak from not having his mother's milk to feed on.
As his luck would have it, there was a nursing mother in the Clan, with a kit just a couple of moons older than Jadeclaw. The two of them became inseparable. Rippletail was her name, and Jadeclaw thought of her as an older sister. Together, they motivate each other to be the best Warriors they can be.
