Lionpaw

is owned by Whiskers
Lionpaw is a big red-and-white tabby tom.
==Description==
===Physical===
The tom took off like a rocket in terms of growth, so he can be predicted to be of exceptional proportions when fully grown. Currently, the tom is awkward and lanky, frequently tripping over his large paws that appear far too big for his lean frame. Lionpaw still carries kitten-like features, including ears that are also too large for his head. These bat-like things end in fire-colored feathered tips.
The young apprentice proudly presents a blazing red tabby coat plastered in classic (marbled) tabby patterning of a darker hue. Lionpaw is splashed with minimal white spotting, visible mostly on his legs, neck, and belly. His fur is long and baby-bird like in the fact that it's tufted, as the tom is slowly losing his kitten fluff. Overall, Lionpaw is a relatively awkward-appearing apprentice at the moment, but he'll surely grow into the handsome and majestic creature similar to that of his namesake.
===Personality===
The tom is a character with endless energy. He ultimately gives off a positive vibe with his good-natured ways, although his constant bounciness can easily get annoying. Lionpaw has the heart of a warm child, and will forever be mentally youthful. He has a fantastic imagination and can easily whip up some wild stories that he easily gets into. Lionpaw does everything with great enthusiasm, even if he isn't fond of whatever task needs to be complete. This, however, is one of his greatest issues: he lets things get to him. They annoy him and eat at him all day long, and he will refuse to share them with anyone, and he'll never feel better until the issue is resolved. He'll keep his negative feelings a secret, in fear that someone will judge him or look down upon him.
Lionpaw is a good-natured cat with a kind heart, but he's also easily hurt. Perhaps he won't share this with others, but the tom is easily offended if others do not watch their words. But he'll simply smile, nod, and move along as if nothing had happened, despite being greatly impacted in a negative manner. Lionpaw is gentle towards those who are around him, even if they happen to be a bitter character. He's easily taken advantage of and is a target of constant torment because of his obedience. He's also considered far too naive for his own good.
If he is to become a bit too excited, Lionpaw may become a bit sassy in a playful manner, as well as become daring. His energy-highs can make him do ridiculously stupid things in attempts to please others and make friends, and he'll often regret these actions later on. He has an adventurous heart with a constant thirst for entertainment and exploration. 
==History==
===Background===
The tomkit was born into ValleyClan under a queen who had a massive litter to her mate, in addition to several kits adopted from a nearby clan. Unfortunately, he was too big, resulting in his mother to lose her life and her father to ultimately abandon his son out of shame and resentment towards the kit. He was raised by a queen that strictly fed Lionkit, but once he no longer needed her nourishment, he was left to be on his own. He could remember none of his littermates or who were his adopted siblings- nobody could. Surprisingly, he turned out...alright?
As an apprentice, the red feline was trained underneath Sootwhisker. He continues to learn under her tutorship.

==Relationships==
===Friends===
Redpaw:
:His bro, his partner in crime. Lionpaw seems to get into nothing but trouble when he's around Redpaw, diving into pointless challenges that only end in laughs. He feels genuine friendship towards his pal no matter the consequences of the stupid things they do. However, he does feel somewhat jealous when the tom hangs out with others, and sometimes, perhaps something...else. Although he couldn't quite figure out what it was for several moons, it turns out that Lionpaw has passionate feelings for his best friend.
Harepaw:
:Lionpaw finds the she-cat very pretty- her funky fur is very fascinating to him. He wants to touch it, but he also doesn't want to get smacked for it. He does find enjoyment in his relationship with the speckled apprentice, but he also doesn't like how she treats others sometimes.

===Other===
Sootwhisker:
:Lionpaw likes his mentor- but then again, he seems to like just about everyone. He aims to impress her with all of his "sick skills" and make her very proud when he finally becomes a warrior. He is eager to continue their training over the next couple of moons, and he'll miss their training sessions together once he's finished being an apprentice.

==Trivia==
*Possible warrior names: Lionfur, Lionwhisker, Lionleap, Lionspirit, Lionstep.
*He probably makes for an excellent pillow. 
*If it were socially acceptable, Lionpaw would probably have 2-3 mates and love them all equally. Not because he's a "player", so to speak, but because he has a big heart and lots of love to give.
**But because it wouldn't be accepted, he'll only have 1 mate.
