Ravenclaw

A lean, sleek, black tom with a curious expression.  Tail tip usually twitching in interest as he studies something.

## Personality Traits

Friendly, but very curious. Eager to learn about new and interesting things, and loves sharing this information with others.

#### Likes

Learning new things, teaching others, new experiences and opportunities.  Squirrels (both watching and eating)  Kits!  (Once they stop being quite so silly, anyway.) Water!

#### Dislikes

Boredom, cats who don't want to learn anything new and are happy just... knowing what they know, even if it's wrong. Large birds of prey.  Bullies.  The heat.

## Skills

#### Weaknesses

Honestly, a lot of cats don't like him much.  He's not as good at reading social situations, and that means he's prone to talking when he shouldn't.  He's also not as strong as most warriors.

## Relationships

#### Parents

Featherbreeze - His mother is a sweet cat who is not the sharpest thorn on the bush, but has never been anything but supportive of her kit.  She is the type to baby her little ones.

Dad - Unknown??  Featherbreeze doesn't talk about him to anyone, but he must have been a pretty clever cat!  Ravenclaw'd like to figure it out one day. There are only so many cats around, after all.

#### Siblings

Cinnamongaze - While adopted, Ravenclaw considers him as good as a sibling. A slightly smaller sibling, sure, but a sibling all the same. Still, they've grown apart since becoming warriors. But, Ravenclaw trusts him entirely.

Nightfur (NPC) - He doesn't get along with Nightfur as well as he used to and he's not really sure why. But, he's protective of her and her kits, and is trying to get to know her again, though their relationship is a bit awkward.

#### Enemies

I mean, he's a nice cat, mostly.  Who would call him enemy...?

## Short Backstory

Ravenclaw's mother has never told a soul which cat fathered her kits.  Ravenkit was curious from the very start, crawling around to sniff at other kits and queens before his eyes were even open.  (As a result, the other queens who were in the den at the time either feel very fond of him, or the opposite)... It wans't long before he started adventuring further, being the first to escape from the nursery on his own, and the one most likely to end up where he didn't belong.  At first, he was thought to be a trouble maker... but it turns out, he's just really curious.

This has lead him to trouble more than once, though:  The most terrifying of which was the time that a hawk snatched him up, and carried him off for several feet before several things happened at once:  The first was that a gust of wind threw the hawk off balance for a moment.  The second was that Ravenkit did his very best to bite, claw, kick, or rip at ANY part of the bird he could reach, and the third was that all of the movement from the first two caused Ravenkit's pelt to rip, sending the kit tumbling down to the ground below.  That day, he learned that just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.  That day he learned to be a lot more careful.

Another day, a young Ravenclaw started wondering about what exactly happened when queens went into the nursery, and what tiny kits were really like.  He didn't think it'd be a problem to just stick his snout in and have a look around--he'd always been welcomed before after all!  He found this was no longer the case though, as a queen lashed out at the invader and left him with a few scars on his face for his curiosity.  The queen felt pretty bad after the fact, but, well, the nursery isn't the place for a young tomcat.

Over all, his life hasn't been especially abnormal:  Due to spending a moon or two in the medcat's den recovering from his close call, he was a touch late in getting a mentor, drove the poor cat crazy as the new apprentice was finally allowed to GO places and LOOK at things and was kind of all over the place for the first moon.  He did learn what he needed to learn, though, and he was eventually made a warrior.  These days he's pretty fond of patrols all around the territory, though he hasn't had anythign too interesting happen on these trips, to his disappointment...  which is why he maybe occasionally wandered outside of Duneclan's territory.  After all, where else is he suposed to go to watch squirrels and investigate this thunderpath thing?
