Appearance | Bigeyes is a dark, solid grey cat. There are no spots or stripes of color, just grey, coarse fur. In some lights it takes on a brownish hue, but is mainly just grey. His short fur is usually never groomed, getting coarse and riddled with debris. There are ticks and mites scattered thoroughly in his fur, and his relatively short tail is constantly twitching. Bigeyes's ears are abnormally small, and his deep amber eyes seem to take up his whole face. They are massive, giving him a creepy look to younger cats.

Bigeyes, being a rapidly aging cat, has a frail frame and not much meat on his bones. He looks thin, and it is not hard to see his ribs through his pelt. This does not bother him much, for he'd rather just enjoy his last few moons of life. Bigeyes stands around nine inches tall, weighing a puny seven pounds.

Personality | Bigeyes is a cat with one major trait: paranoia. Ever since the trip to his new home, the cat has been paranoid, slowly losing his sanity. He is constantly ranting about the way things are done in the clan, and making up stories for the amusement [and some annoyance] of his clan. He sometimes believes these stories and predictions are true, and gets very worked up about them.

Though his paranoia has hidden much of his former personality, it is sometimes possible to get a glimpse of the pass and see how much of a funny, thoughtful cat Bigeyes used to be. He was a jokester, making every cat laugh. Now, however, all he seems to be able to do is worry others about either an upcoming event, or his sanity.

Bigeyes it not much of a help to his clan, not always being able to amuse the kits because of his scary, some-what-realistic stories and his inability to hunt or fight. The older warriors, however, sure do get a kick out of his crazy stories and random rants. On the rare occasion his opinion can be recieved, it is usually decent. Bigeyes, however, could care less. All he wants to do is eat, sleep, and warn that cats of upcoming "danger".

Skills | At this age in life, Bigeyes does not have any skills. He can tell a riveting story, sure, or scare the snot out of a kit, but besides that he is of no use. When he was a warrior, however, Bigeyes was an excellent lookout, due to his once sharp, large eyes. He also used them to hunt well, though his small ears and short whiskers made hunting somewhat hard at the same time.

History |
The Young Days
Graykit was born into a normal, loving family, part of ForestClan. He and his sister, Nightkit, grew up like any normal kit would. They were both apprenticed at six moons, learning the ways of the warrior for another seven. Nightpaw and Graypaw, after training hard and learning much, were given their warrior names. Nightpaw became Nightnose, and Graypaw became Grayfur.

As A Warrior
Grayfur was a happy warrior, amusing the others and having a happy life. It was as a young warrior that Grayfur met his mate, Sandflower. They became good friends, hunting and patrolling together whenever possible. Little did Sandflower know, Grayfur was madly in love with her.
Of course, after moons of being a warrior, every day wouldn't just be fun and relaxing. The ForestClan camp was ravaged, and Nightnose died in the mix. Grayfur and his parents were insanely depressed at the loss, and knew she would never be forgotten. His depression did not last as long, however, because Grayfur soon found out that Sandflower was expecting.

Senior Warrior
Three kits were born to Grayfur and his mate: Cinderkit, Sootkit, and Orangekit. He watched them grow, pride constantly showing in his eyes. More moons passed, and Cinderkit became Cinderheart, Sootkit was Sootnose, and Orangekit became Orangeflower. Grayfur, content with life and glad to have his family, continued his life as a warrior for only a few more moons. Orangeflower was killed just a few days before Grayfur's life as a warrior ended.

A Young Elder
Grayfur and his mate retired from Warrior duties some-what soon, deciding that they had gone through most of their life and were ready to relax until StarClan accepted them. He was renamed Bigeyes due to his most prominent and used feature: his large yellow eyes. He did not realize, however, that the biggest event was yet to come. He knew things were different in the clans, and When Cedarclaw came to speak to him, Bigeyes was ready to go.
Sandflower eagerly agreed, along with Sootnose. Cinderheart, however, strongly disagreed with the thought of leaving. The family had many major discussions, and finally, sadly, decided to break apart. Cinderheart was going to stay in ForestClan, while Sandflower, Bigeyes, Sootnose and her young kit, Darkkit, would all make the journey.

The Journey
The trip from ForestClan to the new territory was grueling for all of Bigeyes's family. Early on, Sandflower got incredibly sick, passing away not long after. Bigeyes watched the group of cats diminish, sorrow and fear for himself and his daughter gripping at his heart with every step.
His dear Sootnose was attacked by a fox not long before the cats arrived. Her son, Darkkit, felt an unbearable grief, and decided to become a rogue. Saying goodbye to his last relative of a huge group of cats turned Bigeyes insane. He didn't understand why StarClan had let him live without any of his family, and at one point hoped to die. He kept up, however, his faith and love for StarClan being the only love he had left.
When he heard of the new clans being formed once the group made it, Bigeyes knew that FogClan would be the best clan for him. His paranoia and insanity drove him to the most StarClan-devoted clan, for StarClan was his only link to survival.

Now
Feeling some-what safe in FogClan, Bigeyes has made his home. Though his grief and paranoia have totaled his mind, Bigeyes can easily be heard whispering about one of his many lost relatives. There is no energy left in the old tom; he is simply waiting for StarClan to take him back to his beloved family.
