Beanpaw

Beanpaw is a very small and lean ginger-and-white cat with green eyes. He has a split ear and a scar down one side of his face. 
Beanpaw is an Eagleclan apprentice training under Vulturewatch. He is extremely boisterous and rowdy with a reactive and impulsive nature. He is very energetic, and can be a handful at times. He is very defensive of his sibling, Leekpaw, and is more than willing to get his paws dirty to protect them. He is cheerful and excitable, often bouncing around camp looking for something fun to occupy his time.
===History===
Beankit was born alongside Leekkit to Appleblossom and Snailtrail, who were unfit and cruel parents. The siblings had a very rough upbringing, with Snailtrail being largely absent during their kithood and Appleblossom pushing the siblings towards unreachable perfectionism.
When Beankit was three moons old, he wanted to accomplish something impressive enough that Appleblossom would finally be proud of him. He slipped out of camp, and was soon approached by an unfamiliar white cat. Unbeknownst to Beankit, this was Ghost, and one of the first seeds she planted within the clans to ensure her plan for their demise. Ghost sympathised with Beankit's strife, though they never gave their name. They encouraged Beankit to prove themselves once and for all -- by tackling Eagle’s Drop. 
Ghost assured Beankit that a patrol would witness his show of strength, and a naive and eager-to-please Beankit raced over to the ravine to earn his mother's approval. Goaded on by Ghost, Beankit leapt into the ravine, determined to climb up the side to prove his worth. However, the challenge was too great, and he was stuck. Ghost was gone, and it wasn't long before a patrol found Beankit stuck in the ravine. The deputy, Snakewind, scaled the ravine to rescue Beankit, and successfully passed him to a diver. However, on the upwards climb, a freak landslide hit Snakewind, knocking him into the ravine and killing him as Beankit was rescued.
Going into his apprenticeship, Beanpaw carried the guilt of Snakewind's death and a new fear of Eagle's Drop with him, wondering if he would ever see the strange white cat again. Though he was flighty and anxious, Beanpaw found comfort in his mentor, Vulturewatch, who was a far better father figure to him than his true father. Snailtrail was physically abusive to the siblings, though Leekpaw faced the worst of it as they were mentored by him. 
When the siblings were seven moons old, Snailtrail attempted to kill Leekpaw in a training session. When Leekpaw fled to Beanpaw and Vulturewatch to explain what happened, Beanpaw was enraged. He confronted Snailtrail, and the argument quickly turned into a fight. Beanpaw almost died when a heavy hit from his father left him with a split ear and a facial scar. Vulturewatch intervened, and a few days later their parents disappeared entirely. 
Following Snailtrail and Appleblossom's disappearance, the sibling's lives have drastically improved. Beanpaw regained most of his energetic personality and even Leekpaw came out of their shell more. Beanpaw's sustained rivalry with Scorchfeather stemming from two very hot-headed cats butting heads still remains even after Scorchfeather's warrior ceremony. As Beanpaw races towards his warrior ceremony, he has proven himself to be capable, friendly and strong, and his love for his sibling remains as strong now as it ever was.
