Rattlepaw

❝ "They're weird, they're crawly, they bite. What do you mean? The only bugs I can tolerate are you and Waspkit, and you aren't even bugs, that's just your names." ❞
— Rattlekit to Antkit
Rattlepaw is a plain brown tom with amber eyes. He resides in Shadowclan as a medicine cat apprentice with his siblings Wasppaw, Antpaw and Lizardpaw as well as his adoptive mother Duskfall. He is not one to show much emotion, and isn't that cheerful, though he does have a sense of humor and will crack a joke.

==Personality==
===Traits===
* +  Soft - Although Rattlekit tries to act tough, he's truly a bit soft, though he doesn't show it all that much, and it's covered up by his bluntness and teasing at times.
* +  Logical - Rattlekit is very real and sensible, so when he sees the way something works, he knows that's probably the way it goes.
* ±  Protective - Rattlekit is protective of his family and others close to him, even suggesting to beat a cat up because they were scaring his brother Antkit. Even as much as he likes to tease sometimes, he loves his family with his whole heart.
* ±  Blunt - Rattlekit isn't one to sugar-coat things and he is very straightforward, although he may sometimes feel a bit bad after saying so, even though he doesn't try to show it.
* −  Perverted - Rattlekit, although his innocence is partly safe for now, will grow to be quite dirty-minded later on.
* −  Lazy - Instead of training, Rattlekit prefers to sit around and do non-important stuff. He's glad he's still a kit instead of having to actually do things and be responsible, but when the day comes, the little shit is going to sob.
===Likes===
*His family
**While he loves to bother his brothers and sister, Rattlepaw loves them with his entire being.
===Dislikes===
*Bugs
**While not all bugs bother Rattlepaw, he is not at all fond of mosquitoes, tarantulas or centipedes. Forget millipedes! The more legs, the more they gotta die.
===Goals===
*Find out who his father is ✔️
**Rattlekit notices that all of the other litters have two parents, whether they be in the clan or not, therefore he knows Duskfall couldn't have just created them out of nowhere. It makes him extremely curious, especially since he nor any of his siblings really look like Duskfall herself. They must all take after their father.
*Find out why he, nor any of his siblings look all that similar to their mother or father.
** Although Lizardpaw looks somewhat like how their father looked, and Antpaw has blue eyes like Patchmask, that's the only resemblance any of them has to either of their parents. What's really going on here..?
===Fears===
*Being alone
**Rattlekit will never admit it, but he despises being alone, and even though he rips on his siblings constantly, he has no clue what he would do without them, even if they bother him sometimes.
==History==
===Kithood===
Clan: ShadowClan
Cats Involved: Duskfall, Waspkit, Antkit, Lizardkit, etc.
Age Range: 0-5 moons
*Rattlekit is born from a fling between Shadowclan cat Snakespots and the late Riverclan tom Patchmask, in the middle of the leaning pine.
*Snakespots dies during kitting, leaving Rattlekit, his brothers and sister orphaned with no clue who their actual mother is. Duskfall discovers them in the forest, and distraught over the loss of her friend, takes the kits back as her own.
*During a game of hide and seek, Rattlekit sneaks out and Antkit follows him. When discovered, they are both scolded by Duskfall.
===Medicine Cat Apprenticehood===
Clan: ShadowClan
Cats Involved: Wasppaw, Antpaw, Duskfall, Lizardpaw, etc.
Age Range: 6-Present moons
*Rattlepaw becomes a medicine apprentice, his mentor being Nightmoth.
*Rattlepaw, along with his siblings, take a trip to Riverclan to find their father. They discover that he died in a flood, and the siblings head back to Shadowclan only with the knowledge he was black and white with blue eyes. If that's so.. Why do none of them look like Duskfall or their father?
*Antpaw and Rattlepaw find Briarpaw bleeding out in the middle of the territory. With the help of Snakepaw, they carry her back to camp, and thankfully, she lives.
