[/url]Cat's Name: Russetcloud
Clan: RiverClan
Age: 30 moons
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Description:
Russetcloud has the type of looks that a young kit would think is scary on a first impression, and then decide that he's not so scary looking. His most intimidating feature is his amber eyes, which always seem sharp. The fact that they're a light green doesn't really seem to factor much into it.
When you take into account all of his features, though, he's not scary at all. Russetcloud is a reddish-brown tabby tomcat. He's a little on the small side from being sick as a kit, but is still big enough to be acknowledged as a warrior. He has a normal tail, not too long or short and not plumy in the least. His nose is dark pink with a bit of brown at the top. On a miscellaneous note, he has a white chin with white whiskers, plus a bit of white around the eyes.

Personality:
If cats had middle names, Russetcloud's would be determination. Once he has his mind set on something, not even a direct order from StarClan could change it. If he makes a promise, he'll see it through to the end even if it costs him his life. Some of the more negative cats he knows call it pure stubbornness. If that's what they think, then kudos to them, they know a big word.
Russetcloud is loyal to RiverClan and RiverClan alone. He'd sell his soul to a cat of the Dark Forest if it meant that his Clan would be safe. He takes the saying 'no one cat is more important than the whole of the Clan' to heart. If he thinks the leader or deputy or medicine cat or any other cat is corrupt, he will speak out and try to expose them.
There are only two cats in the Clan that he would never sell out, and that's Sunrise and Koistream. Though they aren't his full-blooded sisters, Russetcloud will always hold them above the Clan. He's fiercely protective of them to the point where he barely lets them get in any danger.

History:
Wavestripe was already a warrior by the time Condorkit was born. Neither really payed attention to the other until he became an apprentice, and that was because Wavestripe's brother, Creekheart, was his mentor. The two became rather fond of each other over Condorpaw's apprenticeship. By the time he was Condorcall, the two had fallen in love.
It took a while for them to have kits, though. Wavestripe was 40 moons old when she bore one tomkit, which she named after his ginger-brown pelt.
Kit
Since Russetkit was an only kit, he grew up lonely. Wavestripe tried to fill the void by playing with him, but she was just too big to play good games, like Kit Wars or Hide-n-Seek. Since Russetkit was born in Leaf-fall, his ginger-brown pelt would have normally been excellent in finding an exceptional hiding spot, if he was facing an untrained cat.
There weren't any other kits in the nursery, so he tried to bug the youngest apprentices into playing with him. That never worked out either. He was usually so bored that he grew irritable, and found himself snapping at Wavestripe more often than not. It usually got him grounded.
He was three moons when greencough struck the Clan. It was the middle of leaf-bare, the time when all of the Clans were at their weakest. Both he and Wavestripe became sick. They were kept separate in the medicine den in the hopes that they wouldn't contaminate the other even more. Wavestripe got worse and worse until, one day, she just stopped fighting and died.
Russetkit didn't stop fighting. Not even when StarClan whispered to him in his dreams, he didn't. His willpower was enough to get him through to newleaf, and he recovered just as the fresh-kill was coming back.
He was lonelier than ever in the nursery. His father, Condorcall, actually slept with him in the nursery until he became an apprentice three moons later.
Apprentice
Russetpaw's mentor was brown-and-white she-cat named Spottedfern. For the next moon, all he did was wake up, eat, train, eat, then go to bed. Nothing really important happened until he was seven moons old. Condorcall introduced him to Nightstone, a pure black she-cat. Condorcall said that he and Nightstone were to be mates, which made her Russetpaw's new mother.
He honestly didn't have as much of a problem with that as he thought he would. For half a moon, he badgered Nightstone and Condorcall about kits, but it wasn't until he was 8 moons old that they did. Nightstone birthed a she-cat and a tom that she named Sunkit and Koikit. Russetpaw thought she named Sunkit for the patches of ginger on her white pelt. As for Koikit... well, he honestly didn't know where she got the name from, but it was cute all the same.
Warrior
By the time he was a warrior, Sunkit and Koikit were 4 moons old. He watched his baby siblings grow up to apprentices, and then train to become fine warriors. He swore to himself that he'd never let anything bad happen to them, and stands by that promise today. He's hoping for a mate soon, since he's 30 moons old, but so far no RiverClan she-cat has caught his eye.
