Appearance | Russetpaw's appearance isn't an astounding one. He's a medium-sized, skinny-to-slender tom-cat with short, tabby fur of a red-orange tone. His eyes match his pelt, a sharp, amber-orange pair with two feline slits of black through their middle. Russetpaw's body is rather elongated with a long, thin tail finishing his physique. He is not particularly muscly, though he is lean and built for speed. He has small, sharp claws and teeth, both of which have evidently not completely finished growing. His distinctive pelt is the reason for his namesake, which he still caries - despite not actually being a clancat anymore. Russetpaw is not spectacularly handsome but he is not exactly a bad looker either. His voice portrays his personality; sharp and brittle, though he is not a cat of many words, those he does speak are not too kindly.

Personality | Russetpaw is a quiet, self-kept tomcat that consistently assures himself that he is fine in every mannerism - almost obsessively he tells himself this, perhaps hinting to a slight bubbling insanity. He has never really showed any interest whatsoever about she-cats - or tomcats, for that matter and not just romantically, he honestly refuses to really care about any cat except himself. He is very secret about his wants and lusts in the world, not to mention his history and current situation. He hates showing weakness to anybody and will not admit any, even to himself. Russetpaw has never been a very friendly cat, instead being very harsh-spoken, blunt and bitter-seeming. Wary of just about everyone and everything he often believes others are just out to get him.

Despite this though, Russetpaw is very curious and inquisitive, lusting after knowledge and covetting the unknown. He's never really seen the point of friends, but has an undying loyalty to his family - but never clan, he is a strong believer in the term "blood is thicker than water". He is generally insensitive to other cats wants, needs and requirements, shunning others for his own wellbeing.

Skills | Russetpaw is an excellent hunter and fast on his feet. Though not the best fighter or swimmer by any length. He hates secrets but will keep them to himself, particularly if the said secret involves knowledge. He absolutely despises touchy-feely stuff and will be extremely awkward if someone ever tried to confide such in him, probably not the cat you want to go crying to after a bad day.

History | Russetpaw was born a rogue to Bark and Mouse, their second litter he was to discover. At birth his name was Maroon and supposedly his parents loved him - only they never told him that out there in the world he had a sibling, a sibling called Otter. When he was 6 moons old and ready to leave home, they divulged their secret about his brother and said how they believed he had headed for the clans. Annoyed at this being kept from him, but thankful, Maroon left for the clans. It was not long before he stumbled upon the borders and after a little questioning around, he found out the location of his brother - apparently now named Otterfur - who had seemingly gone to rest within PineClan.

Both delighted at finding one-another, Maroon freely joined up with the clan. For a day or so he was known as Russetkit, they not knowing of his age, until he commented of something he could not possibly have been alive for at the time and they discovered his real age, despite his slightly smaller size. They made him an apprentice, Russetpaw. For four moons, Russetpaw was under the intensive training of a calm, dutiful warrior called Sablepelt. As things progressed, Russetpaw couldn't help becoming a little bitter, he did not spend much time with Otterfur, both having different duties and did not particularly share any fondness or even love for his clan.

Four moons into his training, Russetpaw was told by his brother that his brother's mate was pregnant. Russetpaw congradulated and wished his brother well on becoming a dad, before dropping the bombshell that he was leaving. It was perhaps not the best time, but Russetpaw knew that with kits running around, Otterfur would have even less time for him and the only reason he'd come to PineClan would be lost. Though still loving his family, Russetpaw left PineClan, though keeping his apprentice name and has remained a solitary rogue ever since.
