Appearance |
Bearclaw is on the larger side of cats, even for MeadowClan. Yes, he is tall, but his body is stockier than most making him stand a few inches above others. With his brown colored pelt he seems to be a, respectfully to his name, a cat sized bear.
pelt xx|| Bearclaw's fur is short. Deep brown plagues each hair upon his pelt with the mildest tints of red running through out. The lightest shades of brown cover his legs and under belly and around his nose. Black is flecked in the smallest amounts on the insides of his legs and his chest.
body xx|| His body is large. Not in the sense of fat, but in muscle and bone. In short, Bearclaw is a sturdy cat. Although long-legged and lean, he contradicts himself by being stockier and large. He stands about two inches above other cats and has a tail that is slightly shorter than others. His paws are big, just as any MeadowClan cat, but differ by being, well larger. Another noticeable difference with this particular tom are his claws. Instead of being shorter and blunt, his claws are sharp. With having massive paws he doesn't need to sacrifice his claws to digging.
other features xx|| Bearclaw's eyes fit his head proportionately and are the color of a deep moss with the softest hints of gold. Spreading from his pupil the gold color molds into the green giving his eyes a soft glow. Bearclaw has a scar on his left hind-leg from an old badger.
Personality |
Happiness ||xx Bearclaw is a happy going cat. From being younger of two kits, he observed his sister and found she wasn't all ways happy and talkative. At a young age he decided to have happiness for the both of them.
No matter what seems to go on he holds an air around him that is always pleasant. This tom is generally one to go to if you need help with something or your spirits lifted. His booming laugh is often heard within camp or at Gatherings with cats from all clans. Even with his sister leaving the Clans, he still finds ways to satisfy his needs of happiness.
Serious ||xx Even though he is generally happy, Bearclaw knows when to be serious and somber. When the time calls he listens, evaluates and then acts. His serious aspects do not apply to belief in StarClan when it comes to other cats. Don't get him wrong, believing in StarClan is important and ceremonies around them are important, but when it comes to living how you wish, he isn't one to judge. The minor and major hardships in his life have made him see there are times when laughter wont fix everything. It's something that has just embedded itself into his personality with his given past.
Carefree ||xx Bearclaw has a carefree attitude that suits him well. While he is one for the warrior code he doesn't get bent if a rule is broken; unless it's something horrid that betrays his Clan. He isn't one to judge and doesn't have anything against rogues seeing that his kin is one. To him the occasional miss of prey isn't dreadful and the over-sleeper is amusing. He's one to trust easy but once you betray him good luck getting anything back. Ever since he watched his old clan crumble, he didn't want to become a cat full of despair and troubles. Bearclaw's outlook on life has become, even when a bad thing happens, something good will come later. A shinning example would be leaving MistClan and finding MeadowClan.
Anger ||xx Hidden in Bearclaw is a decent amount of anger. More or less. In fact it's more of a lot of emotion that he has bottled up over the moons. From his sister leaving, to his parents death and other minor events, Bearclaw has collected anger and sadness to bottle. He isn't one to exactly express bad emotions because he wants others to see him as a happy, carefree guy. When in battle, blood pumping, his emotions tend to take hold and a new face is shown.
Other ||xx Bearclaw may have a grudge toward one in his Clan yet, he wont leave them hanging in battle. No matter his feelings toward another he would always be there to help. In his mind no one deserves to die unless their deeds are unhonorably done. (This meaning killing kits, in cold blood, killing a leader etc.)
Over all he is a decent cat. He's full of joy and at the same time wise choices, even if the code can't be followed to a point. However, he at least asks his leader before doing something like helping another Clan. He may be persistent but wont act in things like helping with prey or re-building a camp without consent.
Flaws ||xxAlthough a good tracker, as stated below, he isn't the best of hunters. His massiveness tends to get in the way when pouncing on a mouse or other small creatures. He has to rely on leaping and quick dashes in order to catch his prey.
Another flaw in Bearclaw is following his head. When generally, yes, this is a good trait, the tom can often break small rules in the warrior code.
Lastly, when fighting Bearclaw can become blinded. Even though he has never killed at cat, his inflicted wounds can be very detrimental. A hidden rage engulfs his mind when stuck in the heat of battle. Often times he needs to prowl the outer edge of the battle just so he can gather his thoughts again and not hurt his own clan members.
Skills |
Bearclaw's skills are in battle and tracking.
Battle :: In battle Bearclaw can be ruthless. He has never taken another's life and doesn't plan on it. His massive frame and large paws aid him well and often times give a distinct advantage.
Tracking :: Having learned from his sister, Bearclaw is a decent tracker. In almost any weather conditions he can find what is needed to be found. Rain the most difficult for him, yet he finds it easier to pay attention to signs of movement as well as scent.
History |
In the Beginning:x: Bearclaw was born to Flamepelt and Willowflower, noble warriors of their own clan, MistClan. He had a sister, Shika, who was birthed by his father and loner. Not wanting to have his kit grow on the streets, Flamepelt arranged it so his daughter could be apart of MistClan. By the time Bearclaw was born, 7 moons after Shika, he had learned her name to be just that, Shika. Why she didn't carry a clan name was beside him.
In the start, Flamepelt and Willowflower raised their kits to follow the Warrior Code and trust StarClan. By his apprenticeship Shika had left her brother and the Clan life, off to be her own. She was 13 moons when she left.
Left alone, Bearpaw (at the time) continued his training alone with his parents at his side. Little did his parents know, Shika often came to visit her brother while he was out and about in the Clan's territory. She gave him hints of tracking and fighting that she had picked up off the streets. Little did he know she was a rogue, on her way to be something feared.
By ten moons old, Bearclaw's parents took him away from their Clan due to the fall of their leader and mutiny of the other cats. Sticking to loner ways the three Clan cats practiced the code and stuck to StarClan. Moons passed and eventually they came across a group of traveling cats.
The Midway:x: By twenty moons, Bearclaw was still Bearpaw. His parents didn't want to name him a warrior for they didn't hold that kind of power. Once they found the larger group of traveling cats, words were exchanged, friends made and they were off.
Being with the traveling cats for a few moons they reached their destination. Separating into Clans, they chose MeadowClan as their home. Finally Bearpaw was named Bearclaw and applied himself to his new clan mates.
The Present:x: Bearclaw's parents died two moons after the settlement. His father became ill while his mother had a heart attack. Grieving for them for a few moons he still feels the loss of his parents.
Now he's strong, happy and willing to do what he can for MeadowClan. The only thing he doesn't know is where Shika might be. Little does he know she has followed him this far and is currently living near by, watching and carrying her power with her.
