====== Character owned by Thiri ======
"Some love stories aren't meant to have a happy ending." ― Vaati, to Zyro
== Description ==
Vaati is a really small, light brown tom with darker brown ears and a white chest/muzzle. Deep amber eyes. He has a scar on his left shoulder, caused by Larkface during their practice.
His parents often complimented him for having very gentle eyes.
== Personality ==
Despite suffering the loss of his family and becoming a well trained gang member, Vaati is probably one of the most loveable cats you'll ever meet. But underneath Vaati's rather kind and friendly shell, there's a growing fire of vengeance and rage inside of him. His hatred functions as the key to his strength as a gang member. 
Vaati rarely asks the help of others, making him quite stubborn and pushing his owns limits. His biggest weakness is probably his ability to empathize with almost everyone. Which sometimes makes him hesitate before delivering the final blow. Vaati also is extremely protective of his friends and even more of Hallie as he sees her as his younger sister. 
As a way to show affection, Vaati softly pokes the forhead of someone. 
== History ==
Vaati first lived with his brother in loner territory, after losing his other siblings and mother to an animal attack, he didn't feel safe there anymore. He wanted his brother to grow up in a safer environment. Having heard of the twolegplace before, he decided to go there with the hope for a better future. 
On his way, Vaati met one of the members of The Glinting Claws named Jonah who helped Vaati get to the twolegplace. On their way Vaati grew interested in the gangs as Jonah told about them.
Once arrived Vaati and Bosco end up living as kittypets, both content with their new life. Yet, Vaati still had meetings with Jonah frequently, being friends now. Vaati ends up joining Jonah, wanting to become stronger to protect himself and his brother.
== Life Events ==
One day when Vaati came back from visiting his brother in the twolegplace, he saw the rogue Sesi almost get hit by a monster. He yelled at her to get out the way, saving her from being hit. After introducing himself and explaining that monsters are dangerous, he brought her towards a clearing in the forest so she could rest. He didn't think much about the she-cat after.
A few days later he met Callan, a young loner, while being out for a walk outside of Black Valley. Callan kept provoking Vaati, but he didn't want to pick a fight with someone much younger than him. Especialy knowing he was the son of Charlie. Later on Hallie, the sister of Callan, showed up. Watching as Vaati scolded Callan for trying to pick a fight with, obviously, stronger strangers. Sesi had showed up in the meantime, laughing at Callan's behavior. 
After finding out Hallie wanted to join the gang, he nudged Hallie to fight her brother saying she better win if she wanted to to join them. Vaati thought it was a good idea, as he didn't need to get his paws dirty but still learning Callan a lesson. Which turned out to be the opposite as Leilani showed up, the mother of the two and broke up the fight. Callan left, and Hallie got lectured by her mother. Vaati felt bad for her, feeling uneasy to see her get yelled for something he started. Vaati took the blame for Hallie, stating that Callan was trying to fight him, and that he had told Hallie to teach him a lesson. He offered to help her get stronger afterwards.
Vaati told Sesi to show him that she wasn't just an average loner, not liking that she kept following him around. He told her to attack one of the clan cats, taking their life in the progress. Vaati ended up watching as Sesi fought with Tumbleleap, the she-cat being better in fighting as he thought. As Tumbleleap was almost defeated, Vaati offered to leave a mark on the body. Right as he was about to dislocate the jaw of the tom, Clayfur arrived and tackled Sesi. Vaati quickly rushed over to her, forgetting about finishing the tom off. He ran off with Sesi before more cats arrived. Afterwards he felt differently towards Sesi. 
While fooling around in the clans, he met Larkpaw. Vaati grew interested in her as he never met a clan cat before who also had the urge to kill. He ended up being her mentor, training her in return for information about the clans. Not that long after, he also met Sagepaw. A DustClan apprentice who desperately wants to change her clan's way of leading. Vaati meets with her frequently, keeping an eye out on her. 
Once Vaati heard Hallie got hurt by a rogue named Darkscar, he went out to threaten him to not mess with her again. He had started to see Hallie as his sister, which made him extremely protective. 
a few moons later, Sesi came up to Vaati to tell her she's expecting. Vaati was overwhelmed with the information, as he always believe that once a she-cat gets pregnant she should be mates with the father. He came to the conclusion that they should be mates, but didn't want to come to terms with his own feelings. they ended up having a fight, due all the stress of having kits together. Vaati ended up dedicating most of his time towards the kits once they were born. At some point, it got too much for him as the tom never really managed to give himself a break. He started hanging out with a kittypet named Blaire to get his mind off his chaotic life with Sesi.
After he found his brother hit by a monster, he also lost a big part of himself. Vaati decided to go back to his old den, and bury his brother there at their old home. He never felt the same after, and stayed at his old den for a few moons. 
A few moons passed till Vaati was able to sort of return to his old self. He changed a bit, he was more protective of the ones he loved. He didn't tell anyone about the death of his brother, and instead went on with life even though a huge part of him was missing. Luckily, his kits and friends helped him feel like he had a purpose. One of his kits, Zyro, even decided to join Vaati in the gangs. At first, Vaati was a bit doubtful at the idea of his kits following him into his pawsteps but he knew very well that he couldn't change their mind. 
Before the trials of Zyro started, Banksy asked if he could talk with Vaati for a moment. His leader explained that now that there were no medics, the gang needed a new one. He asked if Vaati wanted this position and of course, he accepted. If his leader thought he was most suited for the job, then it must be true. 
Because of his new position of medic, Vaati could not spend much time with Sesi anymore. It caused him to slowly fall out of love. He desperatly tried to stop his feelings from fading, so his kits wouldn't have to go through a break up between their parents. But.. when feelings start to fade, there's nothing you can do to stop it. After a while they cut off their relationship. Sesi broke down and got angry at Vaati, while Vaati got mad at her because of all the frustration.

He decided to use this oppurtunity for his own amusement, and told her to teach her brother some manners. Hallie did so, untill her mother broke the fight. Vaati ended up feeling bad when he had to watch Hallie get yelled at. so he took the blame and told her mother that he told her to start the fight. After that event, Vaati started to training Hallie.

They started to work together, killing kits with their signature move; dislocating the jaw.
Vaati never admitted that he loved her back, as he forced her to become mates with him once Sesi told him she was expecting.
