Hawktalon

Hawktalon is a dark brown tabby with green eyes.
Hawktalon is a warrior of CaveClan under Graystar's leadership. He was born to parents that died in the Great Freeze. Hawkkit and his sister, Falconkit, were subsequently raised primarily by Bumblepaw, who unofficially adopted the siblings. Really, that entire apprentice generation had a hand in guiding the kits' developments. Hawkpaw was apprenticed to Owlcall under Goldenstar's leadership.
He was given his warrior name, Hawktalon, by Graystar. Hawktalon was chosen by Emberfall to join the quest up the Crying Mountains to discover what happened to Snake River. On the journey he bonded greatly with the gentle warrior, coming to see him as a role model in the same way Bumblepaw, now Bumbleheart, had long ago ceased to be.
== Personality ==
Hawkkit was a very loud and dramatic kit and found himself getting into trouble a lot because of that. He looked up to the apprentices, mostly Bumblepaw. He had a general dislike for Jackalpaw from the very start, though he couldn't possibly know how justifiable that would be.
As Hawkpaw grew and matured, he came to be the more patient and attentive than his sister Falconpaw. He cares deeply for his sister - and she him - and they both constantly look out for each other. Through all tragedy and loss, the siblings have always been there for the other and supported them. Even as warriors, Hawktalon and Falconcrest are still competitive with each other and quite dramatic in the way they play. 
They fight mock battles, they die pretend deaths, they never fail to find some way to get one over on the other, always pushing each other to be better than they were the day before. Falconcrest and Hawkpaw also like to collect things, mostly strange rocks, and often "argue" about who has the better collection.
Hawktalon and Falconcrest love stories and mythologies. They grew up being told fantastical tales by Bumblepaw and the Clan elder Dewcloud. As a result, he and his sister have a rather dramatized view of "good and evil" and heaping pawfuls of naivete; comparable to children who grew up exclusively watching Saturday morning public service television cartoons. This HAS been fairly tempered by recent loss - beloved leader Goldenstar and cherished elder Dewcloud died on the same night - but you know how young people are; they bounce back rather quick from such things.
== History ==
Hawkkit’s mother and two other littermates died from disease during the Great Freeze. Only he and his sister, Falconkit, survived. His mother was an unnamed CaveClan queen and it was head-canoned by Ummy that his father was a loner.
The two kittens are pretty much inseparable, as they are the only two kittens in the nursery. They are both very similar, and match each other's fire and passion. Falconkit and Hawkkit would often pester the other members of the clan, which no one ever really got onto them for.
They quickly took a liking to almost everyone in their clan, worming their way into the hearts of all but a select few, but especially the apprentices. Bumblepaw, in particular, quickly became a favorite. He was anxious and strange at first, but quickly showed the kittens that he had a very creative, theatrical side, which they loved. Not only that, but he eventually became somewhat like a parental figure in their lives when he wasn't training. Bumblepaw taught the kittens rules and expectations, he fed their imaginations, and he seemed to have endless patience for the two of them, even when he was tired.
In many of his stories, Falconkit and Hawkkit became some of CaveClan's founders; fighting against a vicious, evil rogue by the name of Coyote. They learned valuable life lessons through stories made up off the top of Bumblepaw's head, such as with the seemingly "evil" snake who only fought to protect those she loved. Hawkkit almost always found his stories interesting. He didn't reuse the same ideas and stories like many of the warriors did.
At some point, Bumblepaw started getting more distracted. He was friends with every other apprentice, and on good terms with almost everyone else too, but it wasn't a problem until he started spending more and more time around certain cats, like Dovepaw and Jackalpaw, or when he went to bed early because his anxiety of not being good enough kept him awake. Falconkit started noticing him having less time after training to play with the kittens because he retired to bed early, or stopped to talk to the other apprentices first instead.
Hawkkit was often quick to assure her that Bumblepaw still cared about them, he was just tired from all his training.
Hawkpaw became apprenticed to Owlcall when he turned six moons of age.
