Silverwhisker

**Leopardpaw** is a battle-scarred charcoal sable rosetted tom.

## Description

### Physical

The tom has to be the darkest out of his family members, with a face and limbs that are as black as cold coals. His fur is the color of a rich chocolate mocha, neatly dappled by rosettes that are a few shades darker, his namesake. Leopardpaw's limbs are fortified by rosettes that blend into stripes, all of which darken as they near his paws. The tom's fur is thick and medium-short in length, as well as being surprisingly soft to the touch. His chest and belly fur are lighter than his rich base coat, coming to an almost darkened cream hue. His eyes are a shocking ice-blue, a few ticks away from being platinum.

Leopardpaw is quite a bit taller than his mother and sister but is still built compact and thickly muscled. He is not nearly as slender as his littermate, instead taking a physique meant to ward off any threats from his dear tiny family. He is an absolute powerhouse that comes with the cutest pair of awkward ears that are a little too big for his head. The relentless pitfighting as an effort to make him break in ScarClan has lacerated the tom's form in scars. Most notable is a shredded right ear, in addition to several scars found on his shoulders.

### Personality

The gallant protector, a fearless, hard-headed tom prepared to stand up and smite any prejudice that might come his way. Leopardpaw will not tolerate any sour comments towards himself, his sister, or his mother- he's bold and seems to lack a "stop" button. Similar to his sister, the tom is admirably selfless, although he's quite a bit more mindful of his surroundings and situation. Whereas a lot of things might fly over Cinderpaw's head, Leopardpaw is a shrewd and brilliant minded feline who won't take anything lying down.

His attitude and sarcastic comments immediately make cats think of his father, believing that the tom will turn out to be no better than the merciless turncoat himself. The prejudice only irritates the tom further, causing Leopardpaw to lash out more. However, the young tom has his attitude for a reason, and that is the purpose of protection. He has a big heart underneath and a need to protect others, to the point where he almost acts possessive over those cats. Poking this sleeping bear? Never a good idea.

## History

### Roleplay

Leopardkit is born to Ashbreeze alongside his sister, Cinderkit, in WillowClan's nursery. Their father is the infamous Muddyfang, a spy from ScarClan that spent several moons in WillowClan before finally admitting his crimes and fleeing. As a result, his birth is considered a scandal, and greatly concerns his mother for the safety of her kittens.

Regardless, the kits seem to do well. Almost a moon after their birth, they get to explore outside the nursery, only for Leopardkit to fall and bloody his nose. Wolfshade passes by and terrifies Cinderkit, so Leopardkit tries to reassure his sister and immediately gives her a nickname: Cindy.

At almost a moon old, the kits explore camp more, and interact with Stonetooth, a WillowClanner they both take a liking to. Eventually, Wolfshade has an outburst when Leopardkit tells him to leave his sister alone. The warrior reveals that their father was a traitor to their clan, and that their mother holds the bloodline of the valuable ScarClan elites. Therefore, he too is doomed to be a murderer and a traitor. Cinderkit becomes terrified, but Leopardkit seems darkly set on vengence.

The tomkit frequently protects his sister from nosy nursery-mates before The Pack and ScarClan invade camp. Leopardkit is hidden in the nursery with Cinderkit while Birdsong and Eaglestrike die defending the den. Ashbreeze summons her inner warrior and slays the ScarClan intruder, but realizes that there had been two invaders, not just one. She turns to realize that the intruder, along with Leopardkit, are missing.

**Cinderkit:**

Leopardkit is the stereotypical overprotective brother, constantly doting over his sister and ensuring that she's both safe and happy. However, how can anybody blame him when their entire birth is a scandal? The tom feels that it is his responsibility to fend off any threats from Cinderkit to ensure she lives life to its fullest, even if it means that he may have to selflessly give up his own fun as well. In short, the tom would do anything for his sister- he loves her dearly, and would kill to keep her safe.
