### Aliases/Past Names

## Physical Description

Legend is a handsome young tom with dark brown long fur that has a slight curl to it. His legs and tail have lighter brown speckles, as well as his right ear. He has dark green eyes that look almost black from a distance. He's medium-sized with a sturdy frame, ideal for being strong. He can pounce far and climb well, but he's not the quickest and he can be quite clumsy at times. He's also quite attractive, and he certainly knows it.

## Personality

He's charming and charismatic. He also possesses a manipulative streak and he's a good actor, making him quite persuasive and personable. He's something of a devil's advocate and loves to debate. Legend is overconfident and arrogant (he literally has the audacity to name himself Legend, what did you expect), well-informed of his own good looks, and smart enough to have the ability to use that against cats. He has trouble expressing his emotions and is prone to lash out in anger in times of grief or trouble. He also flirts with anything that can walk- it's just natural to him. If you give him an opportunity to point out how handsome he is, you bet he's going to take it. However, for all his flirting and bravado, Legend is scared to get too close to other cats. A deep emotional connection scares him, and he'll usually break off the relationship before it can get that far. He views caring as a sign of weakness. As a kit, he listened to many others talk (including many kittypets that had lived all over), and he loves words. That's the source of his impressive vocabulary that he likes to show off. He's also incredibly dramatic. He also seems to delude himself into thinking nothing can actually hurt him, which leads him into many risky situations. He has a skewed idea of how willing other cats are to attack, which is not good. Under his arrogant flair, Legend loves to learn and is obsessed with taking in knowledge.

Under the surface, Legend acts as he does as a sort of defense mechanism. His arrogance hides insecurity and the need to be liked and remembered. His theory is that all cats want to be confident, so if he's confident, then most cats will internally envy the arrogance and self-confidence that he puts on.

Above all, Legend strives to be remembered. That's why he named himself- to be a legend, and to live forever in other cat's memories. Once you uncover this about him, it explains a lot- his reckless attitude, his unique self-assurance, his comical vanity This is all part of his intrinsic need to be memorable, and they typically work- who doesn't want to talk about that upstart, arrogant, loner?

Finally, Legend is a very intelligent cat with radical ideas and philosophical takes on life. However, he is extremely lacking in emotional intelligence and pure common sense, which makes for a fascinating cat. Sometimes, he sounds like he holds the answer to the universe, and sometimes, he attacks 8 cats at once with no battle skills.

### Kithood

Born a kittypet from a city far away, Legend was the only survivor of an accident near the thunderpath that left him stranded in a strange forest. His mother gave him up to twolegs when he was young, she died shortly after, and he doesn't remember his littermates. He survived by stealing twoleg scraps until he could formulate a plan on what to do next.

### Apprenticeship

Legend, who has no regard for territory lines, trespassed on Shadowclan territory where he ran into Swiftgaze. Refusing to back down from his claim that "the rules are stupid" demanded to be taken to the leader.

Later, he met Peonypaw on Thunderclan territory.

He was at the edge of the forest when he met Aspen, a fellow loner. They had a conversation, with each cat exchanging a few words about their pasts. Legend hadn't meant to tell Aspen about his twolegs, but he accidentally slipped. Aspen also told Legend that Songcrash had taught him how to hunt, and offered to pass on the information to Legend, who agreed. When Aspen fell asleep, Legend left, not wanting to get too attached to the adorable tom.

The next loner he met was Dew, a she-cat with whom he flirted with.

He was trespassing on the ShadowClan/RiverClan border when he ran into Shatteredbreeze of Shadowclan and Ripplepaw of Riverclan. They both told him to leave, but he decided not to. Ripplepaw attacked him, and Shatteredbreeze defended him. In the process, Ripplepaw left a scar on his left flank.

He later spoke to Songcrash on ThunderClan territory, the same cat that Aspen had mentioned. She threatened to rip his face off if he didn't leave.

He encountered another fellow loner- this time the very handsome, very gay, Vixen. Vixen began to teach him how to fight, and the two flirted for a while.

Then came his first encounters with WindClan. While looking for herbs on the border to fix his scar from Ripplepaw, he ran into Redstar, who was not amused at the tom's antics, and promptly chased him off. Soon he was on the territory again, this time running into Cloverfoot, who brought him into camp after he wouldn't leave. He met Cloudstreak and the deputy, Gracklesong. Gracklesong brought him to the medicine cats there, where he got all fixed up. However, he still disliked WindClan, as he felt that Cloverfoot basically kidnapped him. During his stay in the medicine den, he talked to Mallardripple a lot, which eventually led to a lesson on herbs- helpful information that Legend uses all the time.

As he was in the Edge of the Forest, he met Peonypaw for the second time. She was looking for her friend Baypaw, but Legend didn't know who that was.

On ShadowClan territory for the third time, he encountered Swiftgaze again. Swiftgaze said that the ShadowClan cats were nicer than the other clans, and that attacking trespassing loners was even frowned upon. She also said that she would rather let a loner have a mouse then bring it back to her clan, that had so many warriors hunting. Legend agreed that this was a very good philosophy. They began talking about the gatherings, and Legend began to think of ways he could sneak in, posing as a clan cat. He decided to go by the name Quickpaw (suggested by Swiftgaze) and pose as a Shadowclan cat.

Legend was minding his own business in the Edge of the Forest when he saw Ripplepaw again. They exchanged some sharp words, but soon the conversation softened, and Ripplepaw talked about how his friends were mean to him and his own past, which included being a loner. Ripplepaw revealed that he regretted joining a clan, and though Legend suggested leaving, the other apprentice wouldn't do it. After some vulnerability by both cats, the conversation got heated again, and Ripplepaw left. Legend should have been triumphant at his victory, but instead he was mostly saddened by the encounter.

He also met Hopscotch/Gorf in NCL, christening the kit with the nickname "little". The two wondered how the clans got their names and went to ask Swiftgaze. They then went to ThunderClan and met Willowwhirl and Birchpaw. After a few sharp words, the conflict escalated with the addition of Maplerustle, Thinsprout, Rainpaw, and Brokenrose. Legend demanded an apology from ThunderClan for attacking Swiftgaze and scaring Gorf. The entire 9-cat battle and 2-clan conflict was a testament to Legend's skill at making other cats mad. While a lot of the other cats fought, Legend stayed out of the physical fighting, opting to war verbally instead of with his claws.

Then came the gathering. Legend made an appearance as Quickpaw. He met Ripplepaw- now Ripplewatcher- again, and talked to Hopeflame, following Ripplewatcher's advice. He also glared at Hornetflight.

A few days later, when his side had almost healed, thanks to some advice from Peachskip, Legend was walking around the Edge of the Forest when he ran into several cats- his friends Aspen, Vixen, and Dew, and two new cats: Charlie and Pounce. The group met above a river, and in a small conversation, accidentally fell in. They were swept far downstream together, far away from the clans and their home. Legend had mild hypothermia.

After washing up on the beach with everyone except for Vixen and Aspen, Legend and Dew hunted a bit. Once they met up with the rest of their friends they began to travel home. Legend decided to join Vixen's family and become his brother.

### Adulthood

After his journey, Legend met Ripplewatcher on the RiverClan territory to chat about life. Ripplewatcher told him about RiverClan drama, and Legend offered to beat up Ripplewatcher's ex-girlfriend, Charfrost. The pair then went fishing in No Clan's Land.

Just days after that encounter, Legend was walking in the Edge of the Forest and ran in to- you guessed it- none other than Charfrost herself. Legend initially didn't know who she was, but after a few guesses figured it out pretty quickly.

He headed back to ShadowClan to look for Swiftgaze and Gorf, and find out if they were ok after the ThunderClan skirmish. He met Buzzardstorm there and after a long conversation in which Legend thoroughly enjoyed himself, was taught how to fight, to his delight. (r h y m e s)

Not able to resist the challenge of WindClan- no cat from WindClan seemed to like him- Legend went there twice in quick succession. He first met Sorrelfrost, who taught him how to walk silently over a long conversation about their pasts, and then because acquainted with Bloompaw.

He met a few more cats, including Jaggedhawk, who tried to kill him, Clovershine, another one of Ripplewatcher's friends, and Flowthought.

He met more cats.

Vixen did a dead- he was told by Rapidscorch.

As a result of this grief, he got into a few fights.

He (accidentally) helped steal a medicine cat- it initially started as a joke, but then he just went along with the plot.

Legend met Valley, a fellow loner.

He then trespassed onto WindClan and got suitably beat up by Cloverfoot. Panicking and going to the closest clan- ThunderClan- he got treated by Gorseburn.

"You don't allow flirting in WindClan territory? How terribly boring of you." -Legend to Cloverfoot

"Besides my good looks and handsome charm, I am also an exceptional fighter." He informed her, though he had lost the fight very badly and didn't know how to fight in the first place. -Legend to Cloverfoot

"Don't take it personally. I go out of my way to charm everyone, not just you." -Legend to Cloverfoot

"I'm prettier than her, but that doesn't really narrow it down." -Legend to Swifgaze

"Being actually amazing and being able to make people like you are very different things. And, of course, It helps that I am stunningly attractive." -Legend to Ripplepaw

"I look awful when I'm wet. Please forget you ever saw me like this." -Legend to Pounce and Dew

"I'm too handsome to die" -Legend to Pounce and Dew

"Exploration is one of the purposes of life. Exploration and fun. I am both a very knowledgeable and fun cat, so I'd say my life is pretty good." -Legend to Hopscotch

"Now, I'd rather know why everyone from ThunderClan is an arrogant mousebrain. If they can apologize and tell me that, then I'll be perfectly happy."

"Yeah, well, this territorial clan cat approach doesn't seem to be going so great, mister. Now get off my friend so we can talk like civilized cats, or I'll slit your throat." -both of the above from Legend to various Thunder/Shadow cats.

"Do you want me to beat her up for you?" -Legend, about Charfrost

"Not really. For example, I am extremely handsome and most cats like me. I go around telling everyone how handsome I am, and just because that's bragging doesn't mean it's not true." He said, his tone entirely reasonable." -Legend on bragging, to Charfrost

"The terms 'rogue' and 'loner' are so judgemental. I prefer 'random handsome cat who prefers not to be chained down into a clan.' But if that's what you mean, then yes, I am a loner. And according to your clan's rules, I shouldn't be here, but I didn't make those rules so I've decided they don't apply to me. How has your day been?" -Legend to Bloompaw

"Don't kill me because I'm pretty and it'll make Swiftgaze mad." -Legend to Jaggedhawk

"I don't /actually/ think that I don't have any flaws. It's just..." He searched for the right word, well aware that he rarely voiced these thoughts out loud. "easier, to say stuff like that. It makes me more interesting, and it makes cats want to be like me. Everyone wants to be confident. So if I pretend that I am, everyone wants to be like me. It makes sense." -Legend to Sorrelfrost

"So I'll take that as a solid no." He said faintly, feeling very confused. He had no clue what he was supposed to say. There needed to be a formula for dealing with emotions- he hadn't signed up to help this cat deal with her personal problems. "Er- does your sister know that she's doing all this to you?" -Legend to Clovershine

"But really, you've never killed anyone?" There was only innocent curiosity in his tone. Legend figured that sooner or later, he'd lose his temper and accidently kill another cat. The only reason he hadn't done so yet was because of his fighting skills. He had no malicious intent, but that was just the way things were, he thought. -Legend to Rosehaze

"I can be a charismatic idiot. And being charming is even more fun when you're doing dumb stuff, because then you get to draw other cats into it by making it sound like a good idea." -Legend to Portland

"The only difference between a hero and a villain is who's telling the story" -Legend to Bouldercrumble

"All stories have two sides; there's no such thing as an entirely evil cat." -Legend to Ripplewatcher

"I'm not sure if that is supposed to be a compliment or not, but I will take it as one." -Legend to... probably Sunstar

"If I die today because I'm not strong enough to survive, there will be lots of cats that are actually sad that I'm dead and will go avenge me. My enemies will still remember me and tell different cats about me, and the memory of me will live on. I'll still be making an impact, even after life. If you die a hundred moons from now, perhaps your friends will be a little sad, but most cats won't remember you /that/ much. True, I'm not physically immortal, but we're all immortal through memory. It doesn't matter how long you live, but how much of an impact you make. Therefore, being memorable and likable is the most important thing. We should all strive to be legends." -Legend to Scarred (?)

"Death, in a sense, is just another place to explore. It's the next step." -Legend to... idk, Sunstar maybe?

"I, my dear, am not a raincloud. I am an obnoxious rainbow, at the very least." -Legend to Holly(smoke)

He continued to address seemingly no one. "I will take that as a no, then." After a short pause, he continued. "I'm bored. Someone once told me that I'd flirt with the trees if I could, and I'm almost bored enough to attempt it." Another pause came after his half-joking statement. "Hello, trees. I'm Legend. I'm very pretty, very arrogant, a little bit reckless, and shockingly intelligent. Really. You'd be impressed by how smart I am. And charming, we can't forget that." -Legend to himself

"Of course, myself is my favorite topic. I am a very pretty, very intelligent, very idiotic- and yes, those sound oxymoronic but you'd be surprised- very charismatic loner whose favorite hobby is trespassing onto clan territory and getting the clan cats riled up." -Legend to Doc

"Apologies, but I don't speak disdainful eyeroll." -Legend to Bouldercrumble

"I'm happy to provide your daily dose of moderate pain." -Legend to Bouldercrumble

"Boredom and spite tend to motivate the majority of my actions." -Legend to Gooseflurry

"I am good at many things, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule is not one of them." -Legend to Lynxcatcher

"I don't think I believe in love, at least not the overbearing love-ends-all type of love." -Legend to Pinetooth

"It's easier to be alone. Be alone, and there's no one that can hurt you." -Legend to Scarred
