Rowanstripe

Rowanstripe is a cinnamon silver classic tabby tom with bright green eyes.
== Personality ==
He is compassionate, hardworking, and relentlessly positive. The apprentices and kits of the Clan all love him; he will give the apprentices tips and teach them useful tricks, or bring them prey after a hard day's work, and he will play with the kits or tell them stories when they're bored, or bring them tasty treats or cool treasures from around the territory just to surprise them. Of course, he's especially kind and supportive to his own kits, and will often sleep with them in the nursery. He wants nothing more than for his kits to be happy, and is endlessly self-sacrificing in ensuring this. He goes on border and hunting patrols often, utilizing every ounce of skill, sense, and perception he has to make sure his Clan is safe at all times. The rest of his time tends to be taken up by interacting with the Clan's youth, and by taking care of his own kits. He is always internally fretting over balancing warrior duties with being a present and supportive father to his kits. To be perfectly honest, all of his hard work - while certainly appreciated by the Clan - ends up running him totally ragged; he overworks himself constantly and rarely takes any time to himself, instead dedicating all of his time and energy to taking care of his Clan and his loved ones. Anytime he does slow down or try to relax, there's always a voice in the back of his head telling him that he doesn't deserve it, that he isn't doing enough, that he needs to do more. Subsequently, he can't stand to take breaks or be idle for too long, always up and moving when he's awake, though he makes sure to eat and sleep in order to be present and healthy for his kits' sakes. He prioritizes the safety of the Clan over most other things, often insisting that the safest possible route be taken in any conflict, even if it isn't the most viable option. He's too hard on himself over all, taking on too much responsibility without allowing himself any time to relax, and harbors a lot of secret guilt over his mate's death - he misses her dearly, but can't help but feel lonely raising the kits alone.
== History ==
He was born and raised in MarshClan, always a loyal warrior. His parents died when he was young, but he grew up fairly normally otherwise. He fell in love with his kithood friend Poppyfern, and when they became warriors, they became mates. Several moons later, they discovered they were having kits. However, Poppyfern died during the kitting, leaving him the sole caregiver for their kits, Bearkit and Finkit.
