## Interests

*Likes*

Lightstorm loves to sunbathe which isn’t particularly unusual for any cat. He enjoys patrolling as it gives him something to do and he finds it’s at the very least calming. The tom also enjoys climbing although he certainly can’t do as much as a smaller lighter cat could. He also loves kits, finding them very adorable and endearing and likes to play with the young cats; he'd love his own kits someday.

*Dislikes*

Lightstorm doesn’t particularly like water, he hates the way it makes his fur so heavy. Lightstorm is typically an early riser so he doesn’t like late night patrols preferring to be asleep earlier and go on dawn patrols. The tom also doesn’t enjoy eating fish or frogs or anything that’s sort of slimy.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Lightstorm is a very intelligent cat, but certainly doesn’t always use his intelligence. When he chooses to actually think things through though he can generally find to best and most logical answer. Similarly his decision making is aided by his good observation skills. He’s often good at reading situations or other cats and noticing important details of places. Finally, partially because of his large size Lightstorm is a strong cat. And as a result of his training he is also a good fighter, knowing how to use his strength to defeat his opponents.

*Faults*

The tom is somewhat slow in battle just because of how big he is and it’s a lot easier for him to get tripped up. However he’s also fairly impatient, much more of a do first think later kind of cat. Lightstorm is rather independent and doesn’t tend to like following orders or listening to what others say. He’s similar with rules viewing them more as suggestions rather than strict, only really following his own moral guidelines strictly. His lack of following authority can make him a bit irresponsible.

## Personality

Lightstorm is a fairly gruff cat and somewhat harsh. He’s always been very critical and judgemental but in doing so he pushes others to be their best. In addition he’s never been scared to speak his mind or take action, believing that standing still and staying quiet lead to certain doom. However because of this he has always been very impatient. He’s also very prideful of himself and his achievements no matter how small. The one thing he prefers not to talk about is his life before the clan. He also believes very strongly in honor and refuses to ever outright lie, although he has no problem with lying by omission. Lightstorm is also fairly smart and wise, he has always been intelligent knowing what to do in most situations. The sentinel is also known to be somewhat irresponsible, never seeming to have the best grasp or follow through with rules.

## Detailed Appearance

Lightstorm is a large tom, significantly larger than your average cat. He has long thick fur that has a soft texture to it. He has a light ginger tabby colored coat, the darkest color of his fur being the dark red color of his stripes.

He has brown amber tinted eyes that match the color of his coat. He has two scars on his back right leg clearly made from the claws of a cat. Lightstorm also has a small nick in his left ear.

## Backstory

Lightstorm was born a kittypet with the name of Felix. He spent the first part of his life living in a suburban neighborhood, alongside his siblings and parents. He slowly watched as each of his siblings were taken away, and then he was adopted too. A man gave Felix as a gift to his girlfriend. For the first month his life was perfect, the woman was nice and would always play with him, and the man would come by often. But then something happened, one day Felix heard angry shouting. There was yelling, throwing, and hitting, the man and the woman seemed to be fighting. But then the man left and all was quiet for a bit, and Felix thought everything would be okay. Then a few hours later the woman traveled like a hurricane through the house gathering up everything that had been the man’s or was a gift from him, which unfortunately for the kit that included him. The two-leg put him along with a whole box of stuff into her car and drove for an hour, before dumping him and the stuff on the side of a thunderpath and driving away.

The kitten, just five moons old at the time, was confused, lost, and defeated. He figured his two-leg would realize her grave mistake and come back for him so he curled up in the stuff she had left as the cold night began. After about two days Felix could feel his hunger and dehydration start to take over and realized maybe she wasn’t coming back, so he decided to explore a bit more, but being weakened from lack of food and water he didn’t get very far. He was shortly found by a group of loners who briefly brought him with them. But the loners quickly realized they couldn’t support the kit and dropped him off in sunlit prairies territory knowing they’d take him in. Felix was then shortly found by the clan and taken in.

A queen at the time, Wildbriar looked after him and gave him his new name Lightkit. He soon became an apprentice a bit later than most at seven moons. The newly named Lightpaw got a mentor, a sentinel named Emberwish. The sentinel wasn’t the most involved mentor, for the most part just letting the apprentice run free. As such Lightpaw never had to work particularly hard during his apprenticeship and he most certainly didn’t. He did receive a decent enough education, enough to pass his warrior test.

Lightpaw was then given the name Lightstorm once he became a full sentinel. As a young sentinel he wasn’t much more responsible than he was as an apprentice, but eventually he grew to be more responsible. His life had been pretty ordinary ever since and nothing exciting ever seemed to happen.
