Stagpaw

Stagpaw is a large brown tom with darker markings, many littered scars and green eyes. He has a slouched posture and a grumpy expression.
Stagpaw is a Summitclan apprentice training under Pepperspark. He is anxious, with a bad temper and has difficulty connecting to his clanmates. His isolationist views from his time as a loner followed him into clan life, and as a result he has deep trust issues. However, he is a good friend and a good cat, if you can break through the walls he has built. 
===History===
Born a loner to his mother, Sage, Stag never knew his father. For much of his kithood, it was just him and his mother, though Sage was young and inexperienced and struggled to provide for them both. It was a turbulent lifestyle, living in the icy peaks and sharing territory with cougars and bears. Many a night Sage went hungry to feed her son, and the two continued to struggle by.
When Stag was five and a half moons old, he and his mother were attacked by a mountain lion. Stag was lucky, he managed to escape, though heavily injured and very weak. Sage was tragically killed, and Stag had no choice but to run until he eventually collapsed under a log for shelter. Unable to hunt for himself with his injuries, Stag could only lay there and hope to be saved, when he was found by a Summitclan patrol and brought back to camp.
Now in camp, Stag was severely malnourished and very weak, and cared for dutifully by the medics. It was here that he established a friendship with Beetlepaw, the ever-bubbly Medic apprentice able to push through Stag's spiky exterior and reach the part of him that wanted a friend. With Beetlepaw's help, as well as the expert medical treatment, Stag made a full recovery.
Half a moon later, Stag was offered a place to stay in Summitclan. With nowhere else to go, he agreed, and took on the name Stagpaw. He was apprenticed to Pepperspark, who immediately took him under her wing. She, along with her mate, Rainsprout, dote on Stagpaw as if he was their own kit, giving him a soft place to stay and a trusted cat to turn to whenever he feels anxious. Slowly, he is adjusting to his new life, and processing the loss of his mother and the trauma the incident caused.
Stagpaw is good friends with Woolpaw and Goatpaw alongside Beetlebounce.
