Stonetooth

**Stonetooth** is a dark gray and white tom.

## Description

### Physical

Unfortunately, Stonetooth is a little more on the smaller side for a tom cat, but makes up for what he lacks in a powerful physique. His cobby stature makes him a powerful component in battle, capable of even taking on cats larger than himself. Stonetooth comes with a round head and somewhat adorable long, triangular ears with minimal feathering at their tips.

The tom is actually unique in color. His shade of gray is a darker charcoal, a color seldom seen in feral cats. The tom has almost 50% white spotting, found primarily on his chest and front paws, while the rest his mottled across his body. His left hind leg is mildly disfigured from his accident and sometimes continues to give him dull pain. Thankfully, the limb is still perfectly functional.

### Personality

The patched tom has always had a very stoic, dutiful attitude towards his clan. He is loyal to the core towards WillowClan, but he does have his insecurities. Stonetooth has always had a strong emotional attachment towards those he is close to, specifically his mother, Mistystar. While he may seem fearless and full of nothing but devotion, he can quickly break down without those he cares for around him. What he fears most seems to be isolation, something he had to deal with for several moons as he waited for his leg to heal before returning to his warrior training.

Albeit generally quiet, Stonetooth is the type of cat to enjoy social company. He takes a reserved approach to his clanmates and can be a tom of few words when he doesn't have much to say. Nonetheless, he doesn't mind being around a chatterbox or to. It just makes him feel better.

## History

### Background

Stonekit was born to Mistystar and Nightsky, alongside his littermate, Aspenpaw. He had a single older sister named Riverstone. As an apprentice, he is mentored under the late Graystar until her untimely death. Following the loss of his mentor, he was trained under his older sister until he was hit by a monster and broke his leg. He was forced to rest for several moons in the medicine cat den until his leg fully healed, meaning he had to put his training on-hold and wait to become a warrior.

### Roleplay

Finally recovered from his accident on the thunderpath, Stonepaw is eager to resume his training in hopes of quickly becoming a warrior, as he feels awkward about being such an old apprentice. He ventures out with Riverstone, while also taking a Stormpaw, Mapleblaze, and Birdpaw to go hunting. The group splits up, and they lose Stormpaw after she has an accident.

While hunting, Riverstone attempts to help her brother balance with his injured leg. She doesn't pay attention and puts too much pressure on his body, causing him intense pain. They return to camp, and Stonepaw takes it upon himself to search for the missing apprentice.

He finds Stormpaw with Pepperpaw, the latter passing out from exhaustion. The injured tom helps both of them to camp and is forced to rest until his leg can heal a little more properly.

Once he feels better, Riverstone apologizes to her brother and they prepare to reattempt their training. However, they find Stormstreak outside of camp, putting training on a hold once more in order to return the elder to camp. Fortunately, the two get to train later on.

With his leg sore, Stonepaw decides to leave camp to stretch it, only to have Mothpaw and Birdpaw tag along. They go to the river where Birdpaw suggests that he exercises it in the water. He and Mothpaw get into the river while Birdpaw hunts, only to be attacked by a fox. He and the other apprentice help the former medicine cat apprentice fend off the fox, but Stonepaw gets bit on his injured leg. It isn't broken again, but he admits that it really hurts.

Mistystar suddenly leaves without saying goodbye, leading her son to flee from camp out of both grief and disbelief. For several moons, he suffers from depression, but eventually receives his warrior name: Stonetooth.

The tom does his best to get along and serve his clan dutifully, focusing on what matters rather than himself and his feelings. He is eventually given Eaglepaw as an apprentice to continue his training. The duo doesn't get along at first, but slowly, the apprentice warms up to him.

After his apprentice is made a warrior, Stonetooth enjoys some time with Ashbreeze and her two kits: Cinderkit & Leopardkit. He is not around kits often but ends up enjoying telling them about what it means to be a warrior. Not a few hours later, he is picked as the *deputy* instead of Wolfshade. He feels the tom's threatening stare, and boldly accepts the position as a form of challenge to the younger warrior.

At night, the deputy goes out of camp with a group of warriors after he learns that Eaglestrike and Birdsong have become mates. He swims with Dewshine, Mothfeather, and Stormsong before having a nice conversation with the gray she-cat. He attempts to catch fish with her, but fails miserably on his own part.

Birdsong has her kits, and Stonetooth feels awful for not being able to be in there to support her, believing that the warrior hasn't forgiven him. Stormsong tries to reassure them and they begin to talk about kits, causing Stonetooth to become awkward. So he leaves camp to reset, only to be attacked by Wolfshade. Stonetooth is desperate to fight off the warrior for the sake of keeping his clan safe, but he is overpowered. Wolfshade thinks that he's dead, and so he leaves Stonetooth to float out to the lake. He pins the deputy's disappearance on a fox attack, leading several warriors to desperately search for him.

When the tom awakes, he's in ThornClan and being cared for by Moonpaw. He is insistent on going home to warn them.

## Relationships

### Family

**Mistystar:**

The tom has always been exceptionally close to his mother, and shamelessly lives up to the title of "mommy's boy". Albeit it loyal to his clan, there is no doubting that Stonetooth would do anything for his mother. Without her, he wouldn't know what to do. During her disappearance, he entered a state of depression and great loss, fearing that she might have passed. He was overjoyed to find her, and appeared to be jealous when she brought home a lost kit. When she left for good, Stonetooth fell into a state of depression, but unlike his brother, was not at all resentful towards his mother.
**Riverstone:**

The relationship between brother and sister has always been relatively healthy, at least until Riverstone took her younger brother up as an apprentice. Stonetooth always looked up to his sister, but after his accident, their relationship seemed to grow sour. He was frustrated, and sometimes, he took it out on her. Since then, he has greatly regretted his reactions and has since tried to mend his relationship with his sister. So far, things have gone well.
**Aspensoul:**

Although his sister never seemed to get along with their other brother, Stonetooth seems to be on decent terms with Aspensoul. They interact occasionally- their views seem similar, but certainly not the exact same. For example, losing Mistystar caused Stonetooth irreparable grief and Aspensoul rage. Still, they seem to get along alright.
### Friends

**Birdsong:**

The level-headed warrior is completely oblivious of the she-cat's feelings towards him, no matter how obvious they might be. Unfortunately, he doesn't feel the same way but does consider Birdsong to be one of his most treasured friends. When she was training to be a medicine cat, it was Birddsong who comforted him and kept him company during the many moons he spent recovering from his leg injury. He appreciates her for the services that she has provided her clan, and hopes she finds happiness while being a warrior.
**Stormsong:**

His relationship towards the gray she-cat has always been difficult to explain. He considered her a loose friend for several moons, mostly because he is one for little conversation, so their relationship couldn't deepen much. However, after he lost the last remnants of his family, he found himself opening up more towards Stormsong. He admires her even-temper and general devotion towards his clanmates and her own family. Despite Flameheart having been rather troublesome, Stormsong always seemed respectful and...*good*. Maybe he's not able to find a way to voice it, but Stonetooth thoroughly enjoys being around the she-cat. He hopes she can understand that, and he hopes that he can one day figure out how to voice that opinion to ensure that she understands.

### Other

**Eaglestrike:**

It was a little difficult to get along with his temporary apprentice at first, considering that he had a self-righteous and disrespectful streak towards warriors. However, Stonetooth was able to get his purpose across to Eaglestrike and connect with the tom a little. He has a few inklings if respect for the tabby tom now, and hopes that he can continue to change for the better.
**Swallowpaw:**

WIP
### Rivals

**Wolfshade:**

The tom's out-of-sorts behavior and harsh focus on the concept of power and battle always brushed Stonetooth the wrong way- how could it not? Stonetooth has always been focused as uniting his clan as a whole and seeing to it that they all succeed, whereas Wolfshade's mindset seems to be nothing but "me, me, me". The tom always gave off a bad vibe, but the gray feline did his best to put differences aside and see the good in the spiky warrior. But as it turns out, there's nothing good to him. Stonetooth was prepared to lay down his own life in order to protect his clan from the tyrant's power.
