Magpiepaw

is owned by Whiskers
Magpiepaw is a tiny black-and-white tom with a black smudge on his nose.
==Description==
===Physical===
Most don't know it, but Magpiepaw was actually one of several of Lionpaw's lost littermates. There doesn't seem to be much resemblance between the two, considering that the monochrome medicine cat apprentice is puny due to being the unhealthy runt of the litter. His diminutive size only adds to his lack of self-confidence, but also gives him an adorable and innocent air. Physically, the tom is skinny and somewhat scrawny, with ears that appear a little too large for his head. His eyes, however, are a mesmerizing crisp amber.
The apprentice seems to be constantly clean, whether he tries to groom himself or not. The thick coat of soft and fuzzy fur that blankets Magpiepaw is stark-white, as if it has never touched the earth. He's also covered in circular jet-black patches, in addition to an adorable smudge over the bridge of his nose.
===Personality===
Magpiepaw is an empty shell of where fortitude should have been. The tom is awfully insecure and lacks an ounce of confidence in his own abilities, constantly looking towards others and trying to live up to what they think he should be. However, he is nervous about almost all tasks he takes up, even if he tries to forcefully wear a mask of bravery. In the end, he just shakes like a leaf. Magpiepaw is clearly a victim of peer pressure. Whatever they want, he'll force himself to do, just for the sake of being liked. Nobody wants a coward...
More than anything else, the little tom just wants to be loved and wanted by others. He fears being forgotten, especially in the boisterous shadow his brother has created. Magpiepaw is skittish towards most others, with a tendency to stumble over his words in the face of confrontation. Maybe he's spineless, but Magpiepaw is a lover, not a fighter. He's a sweetheart who only wishes to cuddle up to his friends and family.
==History==
===Background===
Magpiekit was one of several kittens born to and adopted by a tortoiseshell queen of ValleyClan. When the queen lost her life due to Lionkit being too large, the litter was split up and their lineages forgotten. Which kits had been adopted, and which were the queen's biological children? Like many of the others, Magpiekit was orphaned to a different queen, one that seemed to lack affection for the little "misfits". This was the demon that created the tomkit's lack of confidence and fear of being unwanted.
When he became an apprentice, it was clear that he was a malnourished runt. Forcing the kit under the tutorship of the warrior could cost him his life, and so he was apprenticed to the medicine cat, Riverrunner, instead. Still, Magpiepaw believes that he can never make a good medicine cat, and that's what his clan will need.
===Roleplay===
Per usual, the tom is nervously in the apprentice's den, thinking about his next move. He is to replace Lionpaw's bandage, but does not feel confident about it. Loonpaw needs a thorn removed from her pawpad, and Magpiepaw does his best.
==Relationships==
===Family===
Lionpaw:
:The two were never told that they were one of several siblings, and considering their severely different appearances, one would never guess that they were related. However, there is a sort of appreciable bond between the two, one equivalent of brothers. Even if all odds point against it, Magpiepaw and Lionpaw feel as if they really are littermates.
===Friends===
None
===Love Interests===
None
===Other===
Riverrunner:
:The young tom tries very hard to impress his medicine cat mentor and make her proud of his work, but he feels like he could never live up to her expectations. Maybe he wasn't cut out to be a medicine cat after all? But how could a cat so small ever become a good warrior? It's frustrating because he only wants to do things right, but he fears that he'll never be able to do so.
