NAME... Lizardclaw
AGE... 12 moons
GENDER... Female
CLAN... Tigerclan
POSITION... Warrior
SPECIES... Bengal Tiger
APPEARANCE...Lizardclaw may be dark in her hidden personality, but it also shows in her appearance as well. Her pelt consists of different shades of brown, ranging from the darkest, richest, chocolate brown to a very modest lighter brown. There are even spots where in the right light, the brown turns out to be a nice shade of a light tan. Her face is one of the easiest seen areas where the dark brown really outlines her personality and draws attention to her bright, flashing yellow eyes that seem to pop. Some believe that the blackness of her face as there to give her eyes more emphasis, although they hardly need the help. Her eyes are wide and they hold a hard stare to them almost as if her gaze was made out of stone. They hardly show any flicker of emotion in their depths, but in rare instances you may just get lucky - or unlucky - enough to see a flash of anger through them.
In general, her appearance really sums up who she is. The fur on her body is thin, not hiding the thick muscle that frames her bodt, but unlike most cats, she does not get annoyed when the rain pours from the sky and makes it go flat against her body. The the sunlight and the heat, on the other hand, it becomes unbearable and on the worst of days, she can get annoyed a lot easier. Even though she lives in this warm climate, she is not a fan of the hottest days that come along with living in such a place. She is on the large side of things as well, her bone structure is larger then a average she-cat, and her muscle tissue is as much as a she-cat can get.

PERSONALITY...Lizardclaw in her own mind, seems to think of herself as an ordinary cat with a few tweaks here and there. At the same time though, she realizes that she is not completely ordinary and that can cause some cats to think twice about her. She is a very calculating cat, never allow any cat to come near her without her looking them over piece by piece, looking for something she could use against them. She could have learned that from her brother, or just picked the trait up by herself, she has yet to find out. Although she has learned to use her good eye for detail to analyze a cat's outer being to figure out weak points in case she does get into a tangle, her analytical skills of the inner being, of emotions and thoughts, is horrible. She usually thinks that cats are always thinking dark thoughts in their head behind a mask, even if their mask is one of pure happiness merely because that's how she thinks, maybe it has something to do with the deciet she grew up with. She puts a mask on the outside to copy the environment she is in, but deep inside, dark thoughts are crawling around.
The she-cat is of a very calm sort, since she learned how to control a lot of her feelings so they did not leak through the mask that she holds on her face. She does have a short temper and will get annoyed fairly easily depending on who she is talking with, but she tries her best not to be the first to show it; obviously though, that's not always effective. She despises hearing sob stories...actually, she despises hearing a cat's past at all. She will not be an easy cat to break open for her history either. To her what is done is done and here is no point in bringing anything that has happened back up. She is one of those cats that would rather be best friends with someone and not know a thing about their past then know everything about their past which could allow judgement to fall on them. She never understands why cats insist that it is a good thing to tell the past or why cats insist that the past of one cat should be told to another. Then there is one of the things that drives her up the wall the most; love. She use to believe in it, but lately, she hates it and cannot stomach anything that is said to be 'true love.'
She's one of those cats that you can say, "oh she'll be loyal till the day she dies" and in most cases thats more then true. However when it comes to outsiders or anyoine she does not trust she'll tell the whole world their secert but when it comes to her family and her secerts she is one of the only cats you can trust. After every trail she has had during her life, she knows how and when to keep a secert and when to let it out - if that would ever be the case. Which in some things, it may never be the case.

HISTORY...
0 - 6 Moons Born with only one other kit, Lizardclaw, formally know as Ripped, was born as a loner. Her and her brother had only known their mother, their father was not in their happy little family. Of course their happy little family last all but 3 whole weeks. Ripped mother's, known as Shame, couldn't control her two kits, not knowing how to be a mother or even how to act as one. She knew of the clan cats, however she didn't know they there were separations in clans. Dropping Ripped of in Tigerclan while she dropped Ripped brother, Dagger, in Lionclan territory. Not knowing where to go, Ripper ambled in the direction opposite from where her mother had left. Hoping to find warmth and or shelter, she ran herself straight into the camp of Tigerclan. Being placed with another mother who had three cubs of her own, the mother, Starpelt, became Ripped's adoptive mother. By 5 mooms, her adoptive mother renamed her Lizardkit. By 6 moons, Lizardkit was ready to become the apprentice everyone expected of her.
6 - 12 Moons Coming into the clan when she was young and wasn't born a clan cat, the other apprentices did not accept her right of the back. She had to prove herself worthy of their friendship, while working hard to perform the duties as an apprentice. She did everything to perfection, she tried learning all the hunting moves, fighting moves, and any other moves her mentor had taught her faster and better then any of the other apprentices, maybe that was her downfall, didn't every hero have one? She was a perfectionist. At 8 moons old, Lizardpaw became Lizardclaw. Along with most of the other apprentices, they all became warriors at the same time, and became friends. During the last 4 moons of her warrior season, she has worked hard to become a warrior worthy of a clan title.
