<---- Berrypaw
male, 9 moons
ALLIANCE: BoulderClan
APPEARANCE: Heavy, well-built honey-coloured tom with darker orange on his paws, tail, ears and around his ice-blue eyes.
PERSONALITY: Berrypaw is a generally nice cat, friendly, easy-going, and out-going. He is very well-adjusted, and everybody loves him as the perfect son of Littlefoor and Brackenfoot. Despite the fact that he makes everything he does look effortless, and indeed any mistakes on his part are generally over-looked by everyone, he is continually stressing that one day his facade of perfection will fall, and everyone will know that he's really not all that they thought he was. In his misguided attempts to keep up appearances, he has distanced himself from his less-than-perfect brother, Weaselpaw, and no longer admits to even having a brother. Despite the airy, who-cares? ease with which he does this, secretly he regrets disowning Weaselpaw, but can't see any way out of now.
He has a tendency to get a little conceited, and is definitely the adventurous one. He has an extreme curiousity that refuses to be satisfied, and can be bold and headstrong. He takes an active role in leadership among the other apprentices, and overall has an over-bearing personality.
He makes friends easily, and is extremely loyal to them. However, he also has a tendency towards pranks, and has little to no qualms about getting others in trouble, as he knows many won't think much of his involvement in it. He can be cruel sometimes, but it is almost always coincidental, and though he will apologize when he realizes that what he's doing is hurting someone, he also has a tendency to brush it off as a little joke, and not pay much mind to other people's feelings.
REASON FOR NAME: Berry because of his light, honey-coloured pelt and the sweetness of his personality, -paw because of his apprentice station.
FAMILY: Mother: Littlefoot Father:Brackenfoot Brother: Weaselpaw
HISTORY: He was born to parents Littlefoot and Brackenfoot, along with his brother Weaselpaw. Instead of having to work hard at maintaining his parents' reputation for excellence, he has always managed to just fall into it, making him the default favorite. Pretty much from birth, his parents fawned over him, often neglecting their other, plainer kit. When he was younger, Berrypaw felt sorry for his brother, and would try to make up for their parents' lack of attention by playing with him and trying to get him to come out of the nursery and explore with him. However, because of Weaselpaw's reluctant personality, Berrypaw soon started to view him as a coward and became contemptuous towards him, halting their play sessions and soon abandoning him all-together, to the point of disowning him.
Not long after he started exploring the camp (and trying to explore outside of camp) a queen got lost and her kits were left in Littlefoot's care. The two, named Featherkit and Thymekit, initially spent more time in the nursery, bonding with Weaselkit, and Berrypaw didn't really bother to get to know them that well, choosing instead to hang out with some of the younger apprentices. He was kind to them, and courteous, but didn't find them very interesting, and so left them to his brother, feeling that Weaselkit could use the friends.
After their apprenticeship, the distance between the two brothers increased, until they were hardly brothers. Upon moving into the apprentice's den, Berrypaw immediately claimed a nest next to his apprentice friends from when he was a kit, pretty much abandoning his fellow new apprentices to work things out for themselves. He'd never felt very comfortable around them anyway. As the young initiate among his group of older friends, Berrypaw felt even more pressure to be better than everybody else, and began to refuse to have dealings with any of the younger cats that he felt could not live up to his image.
When Thymepaw died he was as sad and distraught over her death as anyone else, but found he could offer no more than his sincere condolences to her sister, Featherpaw, as he had never been particularly close to any of them. This realization alienated him even more from Featherpaw and his brother, and he found it awkward to even talk to them. Distressed by this, he now leaves them alone completely.
RP EXAMPLE: Chinchi.
PASSWORD: You'll never know.
