## Physical Description

Kestrelkit, the smallest out of the three siblings, is a short-furred, lean, slender fawn-tinted tom. Parallel to his namesake, his front legs, head, back of legs, and ears tips are flushed with a darker chestnut. Kestrelkit's pelt also consists of various dapples and spots on his cheeks, shoulders, and back, as to resemble a kestrel's many similar speckles. Also similar to a kestrel, Kestrelkit has two stripes forming from the bottom of his eyes running down to his chin. Kestrelkit’s lanky build, while making him look a lot less intimidating than his siblings, causes him to be very swift, and agile. his small structure lets him hide much better in tall grass among the moors of Windclan while hunting prey, and it is believed he will excel in tracking food for the clan.

## Personality

Kestrelkit, while the youngest of his litter, is usually the most irritable out of the three. this is mostly due to his small size compared to his siblings. his small structure can often be viewed as a weakness, but Kestrelkit has always been determined to prove his worth in the clan, and that his size is not an obstacle in his path to becoming a warrior. Kestrelkit, like his mother, is quite introverted. he's not shy, but lacks social skills a lot, and can be very awkward. however, Kestrelkit believes he won't need any social skills as, if he works hard enough and becomes the best, most skilled cat in the clan, everyone will automatically like him. even as a kit, Kestrelkit is always finding ways to practice his skills so he can be the best. like his father, Kestrelkit is very observant. his introverted nature often leads to him being by himself a lot, so he has a lot of time to observe his clan, listening in on the drama and conversations going on in camp.due to this, he has come to be quite knowledgeable of the events that occur in the clan, but will usually keep to himself about it. from the outside, Kestrelkit can seem, not intimidating perhaps like his brother Hootkit, but just like he doesn’t like anyone, and doesn’t want you to like him either. but once you get to know him, Kestrelkit is very protective and good-hearted; still keeping up with his stubborn ego of course, but he would do anything for those close to him. even if he comes off as a bit blunt with them sometimes, he’s the absolute most stereotypical mum friend. Kestrelkit has always been very curious about everything. he wants to try everything. however, his fear of failure has led to him becoming less interested in trying new things as he may fail and embarrass himself. Kestrelkit’s worst fear is his clanmates not thinking his good enough. particularly his parents. his siblings always seemed to strive through life to him, but he struggles a lot more to get to their level even despite the fact he’s often working twice as hard.

## Kithood

17th of August, Kestrelkit was born to Sorrelfrost and Fidgetspark. Last, out of the three kits, and noticeably the smallest. He is awake for a few moments, trying to feel his surroundings, and minorly interacting with his siblings before falling back asleep. His father, Fidgetspark, gives him the name Kestrelkit.

Kestrelkit's father Fidgetspark visits the nursery to see his kits. Kestrelkit is the only awake, and is venturing away from his siblings; via rolling as he can't walk yet. He recognizes his father's scent, and the sound of his voice comforts him. At last, he manages to find Fidgetspark's paws and is astonished by how much bigger they are in comparison.

Kestrelkit has begun to try and walk upright. He ventures out of the nursery while his siblings and mother are supposedly asleep, but is struggling to stay on his feet. Shadebriar comes over to say hello, and Kestrelkit is surprised by how big they are. He wonders why he isn't that big, and asks the warrior why he's so small. Shadebriar explains how everyone starts small, and how he'll grow. Kestrelkit is not satisfied with her answer.
