Beetlenose

**Beetlenose** is a black and white tabby cat with light green eyes.

**Beetlenose** was born as **Beetlekit** to Sunlitshadow alongside his sibling Hawkkit.

## Appearance

Beetlenose is a black tabby and white tom. His tabby stripes are small and spotted, taking on a fawn-like brown, dotted over a warm undercoat. His belly is a snow-white, lining the inside of his legs and wrapping around his paws. The white stretches up his chest asymmetrically and covers his left side of his muzzle. His nose is split between pink and brown. Beetlenose’s eyes are bright and round, colored a soft, light green. He has a tall build with long legs and tail. His ears are high set and pointed, and he stands with a proud posture.

## Personality

With great mischief leaves a need for responsibility. Beetlenose prides himself in being the most calm and collected in any scenario. He is intelligent beyond his years, though he makes a conscious effort not to show off. He’s a quick learner and has a logical mind, excelling throughout his apprenticeship but refusing to get an ego over it. Beetlenose acts as a voice of reason, of which his reason is based mostly on the warrior code and the safety of others. He thinks with his head, not his heart—a kind of maturity he has let himself grow as he himself has grown up. It is important to listen to the words of authority and elders, and listen to StarClan in their wills for the cats. He would never try and argue.

Unless he needed to. Beetlenose, though devoted, has a heart too large for his own good. Whilst he ignores how it may feel, he cannot lie that he does indeed get attached to cats often, and enjoys how the greater world makes him feel when free of the bounds of the code. The downside to his lawful nature is how deeply it limits him in exploration. Though he is loyal to EmberClan with every hair on his pelt, a part of him truly wanders. Where this takes him, who knows, but Beetlenose’s only goal is to take the path towards becoming the greatest example of an EmberClan warrior.

He loves his family, dearly. Dreamfrost had raised his sister, Hawkpaw, and himself since a young age alongside her other kits, Lynxpaw and Icepaw. Beetlenose wouldn’t know life without his siblings by his side, priding himself in taking care of them and encouraging them to become their best selves. He’s never felt jealous over their accomplishments or envious of any fortunes and is truly happy to see them thrive. He feels forever in-debt to Dreamfrost, who has raised him as her own for as long as he can remember.

The only time you’ll find ambition in this young cat is through his deep desire to one day lead EmberClan. Though he’d settle for being a loyal warrior, part of him knows he has the calm nature and maturity to be a perfect candidate for the position. He’d never tell another soul about this dream, but it is present in every conscious choice to follow to code and do the best he can. Any mistake, Beetlenose believes, is simply a learning curve to make him a better leader, and a better brother, son and friend.
