Patchpine

Patchpine is a warrior of Lakeclan under Ivystar. His mother is Ivystar and his father was Cedartail, and his sisters are Ferndawn and Poolspots. His mate is Honeystorm. Patchpine is a tall, black-and white tom with amber eyes. Patchpine is loyal and kind, but is terrified of hurting the feelings of others and therefore almost never says no. His future kits are Lightfur, Shellwing, and Rabbitclaw.

Life:

Patchkit was born to Ivywing and Cedartail just before a massive greencough outbreak, which ended up claiming the life of his father. His mother was consumed by grief and never returned to the nursery, though she tried her best to play a role in her kit's lives, even after she became Ivystar. Patchkit and his sister Poolkit grew very close and would frequently pester Snowcloud, who was the queen who ended up watching all of the kits since their mothers were either dead or needed on patrols. Their littermate, Fernkit, wasn't as close to them as they were to each other, though Patchkit tried his best to include her. The other kits close in age to them, Bluekit, Birchkit, and Brackenkit, were slightly older, though their apprentice ceremony was postponed until the outbreak was certainly over. When all six kits could finally be apprenticed, Patchpaw and Poolpaw weren't given official mentors, (due to a shortage in warriors) and instead just tagged along the other apprentices training. This close-knit training environment not only made them closer than ever, but it also made them a formidable pair when it came to hunting and fighting. Fernpaw lagged behind, however, and wasn't supposed to become a warrior at the same time as them. But Patchpaw couldn't let this happen, and purposefully injured a rabbit and sent it running towards Fernpaw, knowing she could catch it. Luckily, no one found out, and they became warriors together. While he waited to get an apprentice of his own, Patchpine would come along while his mother trained Honeypaw, who, despite not being much younger than him, had been apprenticed long after, due to her twisted paw and a variety of health issues that kept her in the medicine den for a while. Patchpine soon began to admire the spunky, stubborn she-cat and developed quite the massive crush. Though Honeypaw would act annoyed at his constant affection, she loved the attention (and Patchpine). Even after she became a warrior and recieved the name Honeystorm, neither of them confessed their feelings, even though it was obvious to any cat with eyes. But, while they were on their way to a gathering, Patchpine dragged her down to the beach. He told her how much he loved her, and she admitted she felt the same way. Not long after, Patchpine received his first apprentice, Briarpaw. His gentle but not patronizing manner helped the shy, awkward she-cat come out of her shell. He challenged her to be her best and helped her get over her feelings of being lesser than her outgoing, well-liked sister. Mentoring her also reminded Patchpine of how much he wanted kits of his own, and he and Honeystorm plan to start their own family once they're both ready.

Future: 4 seasons after the story starts, Patchpine and Honeydapple have two she-kits, Shellkit and Lightkit, and a tom, Rabbitkit. A few moons later, he becomes deputy of Lakeclan after the death of Goldenstep.

Detailed description: Patchpine is a tall, long-legged tom with short, sleek fur. He has a white underbelly, paws, tail-tip, chest, and muzzle but is otherwise black. He has long, upright ears and pale amber eyes, and a long scar along his left side.
