[/url]Cat's Name: Froststep
Clan: ThunderClan
Age: 30 moons
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Description:
Froststep's name has absolutely nothing to do with how he looks. The reason I say this is because he doesn't have a lick of white anywhere on his body, and his eyes are dark green instead of ice blue. Froststep is a light gray spotted tabby. He's honestly more spotted than tabby. The only stripes on him are around his face and his legs. The rest of him is speckled with black dots.
His paws are actually rather small for a tom cat. Usually males have bigger paws than females, better suited for snatching the bigger fish from the rivers or catching the biggest bird from the air. Froststep has been teased for his slim paws since he was a kit, mostly by his frienemy, Specklednose. He secretly likes his paws, because it's easier to hunt and sneak around when you don't have to worry about stomping on twigs or disturbing grass.

Personality:
Froststep isn't one to lie, even when the truth isn't something someone else will like. He'd rather see the slightly hurtful look they get than the betrayed and angry look if they find out he lied to them later. If a tom asks if he thinks a she-cat is pretty, Froststep says what he thinks, even if he thinks the she-cat is ugly but has a good personality. If he thinks a friend is falling in love with the wrong cat, he'll try to intervene and help where he can. If a she-cat asks him if he thinks she's getting fat, he'll say either yes or no. Needless to say, that last one is the reason he doesn't have a lot of female friends.
She-cats think he's sweet, despite the honestly that sometimes seems like bluntness. Froststep won't go out of his way to tell a female she looks nice that day or bring her flowers and junk, but he knows how to brighten someone's day. If anyone looks like they're lonely or sad, he'll bring them a piece of fresh-kill and ask what's wrong. He doesn't like seeing anyone, even someone he doesn't particularly like, upset.
That's either the cause or effect of Froststep's protectiveness. He tries to defend any cat that's being mocked or ridiculed, especially if he's friends with them and he knows they don't deserve it. Younger cats, especially apprentices, often to go him for advice on either training or romance. He's like the big brother of the younger half of the Clan. He especially pays attention to the cats without siblings, because he doesn't want any cat to feel like they're alone.

History:
Streamfur had been in labor for a while before three kits met the world. At least, it would have been three. One of the kits, a she-kit, had been still-born. Streamfur and Stormpelt mourned the loss of the kit they'd never know, but soon turned their attention on the two remaining kits. They were named Frostkit, and Palekit, in that order.
From the beginning, Frostkit was the laid-back one. He was quite content to follow Palekit in her schemes and misadventures. The punishments for them never bothered him too much. While Palekit was bothering the elders for stories and following the medicine cat asking questions about StarClan, Frostkit was playing with the other kits. There was another litter in the nursery at the time, only about three moons older than them. One of them, the only she-kit, was named Speckledkit. She was Frostkit's best friend, bitter rival, and fiercest enemy, all rolled into a cream-and-ginger ball of attitude. The nursery never felt so big to Frostkit when Speckledkit became an apprentice.
The first night in the apprentice's den, Frostpaw slept with Palepaw on one side of him and Speckledpaw on the other. Speckledpaw spent so much time with them that it was like she was their sister. Speckledpaw's brothers, Frozenpaw and Burningpaw, tried to warn him off. Maybe they thought he was trying to steal their sister from them. It took both Frostpaw and Speckledpaw to make them see sense, one with well-aimed words and the other with well-aimed cuffs upside the head. Respectively, of course.
Frostpaw's mentor, a wise old tom named Ebonywhisker, could already see a relationship forming between the two that went far beyond mere friendship. Instead of the good old fashioned teasing you'd find between mentor and apprentice, Ebonywhisker was content to play matchmaker and watch silently. He'd pair the two up in hunting assessments and chuckle when the sparks flew.
Warrior
It was both a happy and a sad day for Froststep when he was made a warrior, because Ebonywhisker announced his retirement to the elder's den during that same Clan meeting. He'd been looking forward to fighting and hunting beside his former mentor as equals. He learned to live with it, though, as all cats eventually do.
In fact, Froststep was actually quite looking forward to when his own kits would listen to Ebonywhisker's stories. Specklednose and he were mates now, but both decided to hold off on kits for a while. The decision wasn't well-received by Frozenheart and Burningwind. During their apprenticeship, the two had grown fond of Froststep, figuring it was better that Specklednose fell for him than a bossy playtom who would just use her than lose her.
Life went normally for Frostpaw until, four moons ago, Specklednose gave birth. They'd only been expecting two. The oldest, the only tom in the litter, was the biggest. He was named Gingerkit for his ginger fur. He was the reason Specklednose had seemed so big.
The second kit, a she-cat, was named Flickerkit. She was medium-sized, average height and build for a kit. She had ginger-and-black fur. She was the only one among the litter that inherited Froststep's dark green eyes.
Imagine their surprise when a third tiny she-kit popped out. A beautiful cream-and-ginger kitten with very thin tabby stripes. They hadn't thought they'd need a third name, so Froststep chose the most obvious one. They were born during the morning, so the third of the bunch was called Morningkit.
That was four moons ago. Now all is quiet for Froststep of ThunderClan.
