## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Light pawsteps, so he’s very quiet and sneaky even when not trying to be. Fast runner, and his size allows him to slip through smaller areas. Makes creative solutions.

*Faults*

Argumentative/talks back, stubborn, and can be quick to anger. Not a strong fighter despite what he’d like to think.

## Personality

Thunderpaw always feels like he needs to be compensating for his slightly smaller size and lower muscle mass, so he’s overly arrogant in his abilities and opinions, and can come off as obnoxious because of this. He’s pretty guarded with his feelings and it can take a lot for him to be genuine, which means he’s awkward when he has to be. The tom is fairly sociable and will seek out other cats to talk to (or as his brother says “bother”). The ginger tom is adventurous, mischievous, and takes dares super seriously. He is surprisingly creative and intelligent if you can just get past his god-complex. When times are hard in his life, you’ll find that grumpiness or moping is common for him.

## Detailed Appearance

A ginger-orange tabby tom with short, somewhat coarser fur. He is a bit smaller than an average sized cat (anytime at his age) and his left ear tip is missing from an incident as a trainee. His paw pads are mainly pink but with some black splotches and his nose is an orangeish-pink with black dots/splotches. The black line typically around a feline’s eyes is thicker for this tom. His eyes are a pale, sunny yellow.

## Backstory

Him and his brother were born in the Clan to their parents, Flamebush and Fireflypelt. When they were kittens, Flamebush, their mother, discovered that their father had been a serial cheater through their whole relationship. What broke her completely was the fact that Fireflypelt had kits previously with another she-cat when they were together. Out of rage, she killed him and tried to cover it up. The fact that his death was a murder was discovered around the time that Thunder and Bracken became apprentices, and their mother was banished. At 10 moons, Thunderpaw got into a fight with a fellow trainee, Vixenpaw. The two went to the Awakening Chasm to turn words to claws and it went sour quickly. Thunderpaw was losing, but Vixenpaw slipped backwards into the pool. They were then caught by Crescentdust, who saved Vixenpaw and brought them back to camp. Unfortunately, Vixenpaw developed an infection from the water in his wounds and passed away, leaving Thunderpaw shocked and traumatized. When the Clan yowled to accuse him, he was forced to defend himself to the higher ups and was cleared of murder charges.
