## Physical description

### Main Colors

Originally a black cat, Nightpaw's pelt has splotches of white due to Vitiligo. "Vitiligo is a rare skin condition that some humans may develop, but so can cats and dogs. A human or animal with this condition experiences depigmentation, which occurs when the skin loses its natural pigments. The skin will turn white (or light pink) in patches and hair in those spots can also turn white."

## ***Short Backstory***

***Nightpaw had a quick and easy childhood, with his mother and father taking good care of him. However, he doesn't remember much of his parents or what happened to them, or if he even had siblings by his side. This is due to him losing his memory when he was young.***

***When Nightpaw was a kit, he would fool around with other kits outside the nursery. That later ended after he hit his head on a solid, large rock while playing, leading him into a concussion and severe brain damage, causing him to have short-term memory loss.***

***It was a confusing time, and he didn't understand much. When he was told something, he would forget by moonhigh.***

***His parents were confused and whispered to the other cats, thinking it was some kind of punishment from GraceClan. Soon, rumors began. The only cat that understood Nightpaw was his brother. His brother guided the way and never gave up on him. His brother always gave him scenarios to think about to keep his brain functioning and constantly thinking. This is why Nightpaw constantly thinks of quotes for him to do better, so that he could remember like his brother taught him to.***

***His parents later left the clan and became rogues, leaving him and his brother behind. His brother was with him for many moons, continuing to help Nightpaw's mental state improve.***

***Until a moon ago, his brother passed away from an unknown disease in his sleep, leaving Nightpaw depressed and clueless. Some rumors still go around, but not often.***
