Scorchfeather

=== Description ===
Scorchfeather is a small short-haired dark orange and red spotted cat with piercing amber eyes and a scar across their face.
Scorchfeather is an Eagleclan diver who gained a reputation during its apprenticeship for its fiery temper. Its constant anger towards the world expressed itself in furious determination and an appetite for ambition. They grew up struggling to find a place within their clan, and as such became frustrated and lonely, externalising itself in a stand-offish nature and bad attitude. As a warrior, Scorchfeather may have mellowed a little, but their stubborn rage and feelings of isolation remain. They feel strongly about justice and fairness, and refuse to let themself be walked over.
===History===
After their parents died when they were young, Scorchkit found their way to Eagleclan after being raised outside the clans. They knew they were distantly related to a cat there -- Jayfall -- and sought him out as the only family they had left. During their time at Eagleclan, Scorchkit struggled with grief from the loss of their parents that manifested as constant anger and prickliness, frustrating Jayfall as they struggled to bond with this young cat who had specifically sought them out. 
Scorchkit's woes only worsened when it was attacked by an eagle after an impromptu adventure out of camp. It was rescued by Desertkeeper, though the scars from the attack still remain. Following the attack, Scorchkit was apprenticed to Desertkeeper, and it grew frustrated with its mentor's distant demeanour.
Feeling unsupported and unwanted, Scorchpaw simply spiralled more into anger as it aged. It clashed with Beanpaw, the two becoming childhood rivals. In a training spar session, Beanpaw used the tactics Vulturewatch had taught him and threw sand into Scorchpaw's face. In retaliation, Scorchpaw attacked Beanpaw with their claws unsheathed. They were both reprimanded, though Scorchpaw believed their actions were justified as it was Beanpaw who had, in their view, pulled the first dirty move. Their rivalry spiralled, with Beanpaw hating Scorchpaw's bad attitude and Scorchpaw hating Beanpaw's flashiness and attention-seeking behaviour. 
As a warrior, Scorchfeather has matured a little, and is less instantly cynical and aggressive towards its peers. It is still frustratingly isolated, as its fear of losing more loved ones keeps it from forming meaningful connections. Scorchfeather dreams of a world where they can be free of their anger and misery, and form a real, genuine friendship with someone willing to break past their spiky exterior.
