Adderstrike

"The best way to protect the clan is not through combat, but through ways to avoid it."
== Description ==
A brown and black blotched tabby with a light brown face and bright yellow eyes. Average stature, very muscular. Various scars, most unnoticeable under his intricate markings.
After the Shining Rocks battle, he was left with clawed sides, a clawed right side face , minorly clawed shoulders, and a clawed chest.
== Personality ==
Noble and refined, Adderstrike is a prolific fighter, just as his namesake, but perhaps his most impressive trait is his level headed ability to avoid fighting. This tom has vicious claws and awful fangs, but he only uses them when an alternative is absolutely not available.
==History==
He had been in many fights in his youth, growing very skilled, however he has since leaned into his more philosophical side and dislikes fighting, avoiding it when at all possible. This fell into his training too, and he neglected to teach Tinywing much about fighting. This is something he deeply regrets following the Shining Rocks battle. After failing to talk a thunderclan she out of violence, he worked mainly to keep her away as they fought. He was nearly drowned by her, but he had seen Tinywing being attacked without counterattacking, and he freed himself just so he could stand over her and scare off the small thunderclan cat. Tinywing passed out shortly after and he limped back to camp with her in his mouth, being the first to leave the battle scene.
