Smokefall

**Smokefall** is owned by **nightmare**

**Smokefall** is a large grey tom.

## Appearance

### Physical

'Big' is one word that you can easily use Smokefall. Standing a few hairs above most cats of his age, his height is one of his most noticeable features, although most cats first spot his unmistakable bulk. Despite being a rather underfed cat, Smokefall is quite large, leading many cats to believe him plump. Actually, his bulkiness comes from his muscle, his breed and his ancestors, all who were quite large as well. Another factor that could attribute to his large appearance is his dark grey fur, which is long and thick. His tail is quite long, and rather plumy, and could be considered impressive by some.

Smokefall's face is scattered with an abundance of long whiskers, and a ring of long fur surrounds his head, giving him a mane of some sort. This large warrior happens to be a polydactyl cat, and therefore has more toes then average. In his case, his front right paw has six toes instead of the normal five.

### Personality

This grey tom is not easy to forget once you've met him, although the reason for this varies between cats. To some, he is an arrogant furball with a high opinion of himself, and to others he's an energetic cat who is good with kits. Arrogance is probably one of his main traits, but so is loyalty; he will never betray those who show kindness to him. Smokefall generally believes he can do anything far better then everyone else, and only flirts around she-cats who despise him, choosing to glare at any she-cats who he could possibly be happy with.

Although Smokefall appears the strong, silent type, he is actually rather insecure, still new to the idea of teamwork and preferring to work alone whenever possible. The Clan's tendency to bury their dead is also rather confusing to them, as the cats are *dead*, so what is the point of laboring to dig the grave? Due to his rather practical mindset and his upbringing, he is not religious, privately thinking that the idea of StarClan, a clan full of dead cats, to be rather idiotic, although he has the good sense not to share this with his clanmates.

Smokefall is a rather arrogant and vain cat, rather gruff as well. His faults somewhat outnumber his strengths, but he does his best in most circumstances, being quite a determined cat. He has a habit of manipulating others and getting them to do things he would rather not do. He quite enjoys ordering Thrushfur around, as the sandy-grey tom is quite easy to make do his bidding, as he found out quite early through the tom’s apprenticehood.

### Skills

Smokefall is an exceptional hunter and fighter, and has quite keen ears, but is has a lot to learn about friendship and teamwork, despite the fact that he has been in a clan for most of his life.

## History

### Background

Smoke was born to Midge and Raven, two loners of distant kittypet heritage. Along with his littermates, Fern and Hawthorn, he was raised to treat no cat with respect, no matter how important they claimed to be. Along with many other things, Smoke was taught that compassion was the tool of lesser cats, and that ruthlessness was the most practical of emotions. He learned to fight like he was two cats instead of just one kit, and the best hunting techniques.

However, Smoke hated life like this, and at the age of seven moons, ran away, choosing to join WillowClan. He was accepted and apprenticed, but watched carefully by many for several moons. Eventually Smokepaw passed his warrior assessment and earned his warrior name. Smokefall. He developed a sort of friendship with Thrushfur, but still views the sandy-grey tom as more of a tool then a friend.

### Family

**Midge:**

Smokefall always hated his father, despising him for the cold and apparently heartless tom that he is. Midge always had a cruel word for him, always had another brutal lesson to teach his smallest son. Luckily for Smokepaw, Midge generally ignored him, choosing to spend more time with his other, stronger kits, but Smokepaw still knew his father far more then he would have liked. Midge is one of the main reasons that Smokefall decided to join a clan.
### Romantic

**Thrushfur**

Smokefall does enjoy the company of this rather naive tom, but also thinks of his 'friend' as a bit more then that. He is romantically inclined towards the tom, but tries to act like Thrushfur means nothing to him so that he cannot hurt him.

## Trivia

* Smokefall lacks faith in StarClan, thinking of it as simply a foolish dream.
* Night considered calling Smokefall 'Smoketooth', but decided against it because he is aggressive enough without an aggressive sounding name.
