Quakefeather

> *"When I was a kit, my father left my mother and she blamed it on me. I was a three-moon-old kit. That day I decided I would become the strongest warrior the Clans had ever known. But as I grew up I came to realize that the Clan didn't need me to be the strongest cat ever--- it only needed a normal warrior who would defend it with his life--- a warrior who could catch prey for the sick and weak. A warrior who could protect the young and old. Every cat plays a part, powers or not."*

## Description

Quakefeather is a hard-muscled, black-eared white tom with yellow eyes and scars covering his pelt.

## Biography

Quakefeather had been born to Cloudypool and Dustwhisker in RiverClan, and was given his name due to his constant shaking. When the young white kit had hit three moons, Dustwhisker up and left Cloudypool for a SkyClan cat. Cloudypool blamed this on her son and disowned him, despite him being three moons old. The young kit then vowed to be the strongest cat who ever lived, and let his ambition drive him for moons. After becoming an apprentice named Quakepaw, he befriended Canyonpaw. Soon, the young tom set his ambition aside, though he still retained some of his aggressive nature. By the time he had earned his warrior name, he'd befriended Moonbeam and Ghostgaze and mentored their daughter, Lilypaw. However, Lilypaw's training was never completed for reasons unknown. Quakefeather also befriended Spidernose.

Later, he also met Jayclaw, who (unknown to him at the time) had the ability to channel birds. Twice he confronted her about her being too close with a cat from another Clan. The first time resulted in Jayclaw attacking Quakefeather and him leaving her with a scar in the process. The second time, however, despite Quakefeather's reluctance to fight, he was forced to lash out at her. Due to his strength, this one lashing resulted in a painful scratch, causing Jayclaw to yowl and summon an army of birds, injuring Quakefeather and another warrior in the process. Quakefeather has been reluctant to go near birds ever since, though Jayclaw did once give him a ride on an eagle.

Soon afterwards, Quakefeather and Foxstrike, the son of Moonbeam and Ghostgaze, nearly caught some WindClan cats on the border. However, the WindClan cats were underground and escaped before either of the RiverClan cats could spot them.

Quakefeather later found it that he would be training Pikekit, but by that point he had lost all the confidence he'd once had as a warrior, and Foxstrike lashing out at him due to grief for his lost littermate didn't help.

## Personality

Quakefeather is intelligent, strong, and determined, but also aggressive. While he doesn't go looking for a fight, he will not hesitate to attack any non-RiverClan cats who wrong either himself or someone he cares about. However, he will not attack unjustly, especially not his own Clanmates. This is demonstrated by his reluctance to attack Jayclaw, even though she was coming at him furiously. He is generally reluctant to attack cats weaker than himself. However, he is also fairly easy to annoy. Despite this fact, he does know how to have fun and laugh.
