Character by Logan, Art by Logan

## **Description/Personality**

Violetpaw is a small white tom-cat with gray patches, and thin fur. One of said patches is above his right eye. His eyes are a bright yellow, and his tail is rather small. His right foreleg is lumpy and all-but unusuable due to the break, but he can still accelerate to the speeds of Gladeclan cats by tucking it up to his chest while he runs, he just has trouble balancing and can't hunt or fight as well as the others.

He's a rather outgoing cat, willing to walk up to strangers and ask them how they're doing. He tends to trust too easily, but his voice matches his personality. Loud. He's very naive, often acting childish. This will become easygoing as he grows and matures. He's very optimistic, and will always look towards a brighter future, but often finds it hard to comfort other cats due to his anxiety and paranoia.

He often does things for other cats ahead of himself, ending up exhausted, and usually takes things very literally.

## **Life Events**

Violetpaw, as a kit, was saved from the Gladeclan camp flood by Lichenberry, and therefore has become attached to him. Due to the conflict between the clans and the Society, Violetpaw was apprenticed at 5 moons by Halfstar along with his sister Tinypaw, and their friend Sproutpaw. He was apprenticed to Palesky, then Mentorclaw, and then shortly after, Blazeheart.

He 'befriended' Robinpaw while talking to him about his sister, Tinypaw, having weird dreams, answering questions about how she knew herb names at 5 moons. He now sees Robinpaw as an older sibling, despite his crass and blunt mannerisms, and respects him greatly.

Violetpaw resents Halfstar for making him and his sister apprentices at five moons, driven on by Robinpaw's sentiment towards their leader. He feels as though an entire moon of his kithood was stripped away, and finds himself restless.

Soon after talking to Robinpaw, Violetpaw, while confined to the makeshift Gladeclan-Cavernclan camp as a 5 moon old apprentice, tried to climb a tree and fell out trying to get down, breaking his front right leg. Robinpaw, who happened to be there, found him and got him to the makeshift medicine den. This is when Robinpaw learned to use rush and comfrey for broken bones.

They later spoke about why Violetpaw was even climbing the tree, and Violetpaw learned it's usually better to tell the truth, that he was trying to impress his sister Tinypaw. His leg is healing, but the healing process is awkward due to Robinpaw's inexperience.

While in the medicine den, Violetpaw met Juniperpaw, who shocked him by how often she was coming into the den, despite not being injured. He began to notice how she looked at Robinpaw, and how Robinpaw looked back. He still teases Tinypaw about her crush on Fennelpaw.

Often, Harepaw comes to visit Violetpaw, and they've begun playing games to build Violetpaw's strength again.

After Frecklekit died, Robinpaw blamed himself for the kit's death. He went back to the medicine den, where Violetpaw was waiting for him, and Violetpaw got to see just how vunerable Robinpaw could be, trying to convince his friend that he was a good medicine cat, and feeling like he failed his best friend. Robinpaw told him he didn't know if his leg was healing fine at all, and his hope to become the best warrior before Tinypaw was crushed. He still looks up to his friend however, and will try his hardest to make sure Robinpaw feels safe, and confident. He promised.

Violetpaw finally met Fennelpaw face to face and confronted him, jokingly, about his crush on Tinypaw. Fennelpaw found out that Violetpaw was her brother, and made him promise he wouldn't tell Tinypaw about his crush, fearing she'd hate him. Violetpaw made sure he knew she wouldn't.

He began training again under Blazeheart, and met Sootpaw, stating he'd be her eyes. But, shortly after he came down with Greencough after the gangs went through the territories and took the catmint (framing Reedclan). He's now quarentined in the medicine den with Juniperpaw, who he caught it from, and feels like he's going to go insane. Robinpaw forced Tinypaw to stay out of the medicine den due to the illness threatening to spread past the two apprentices. Very soon after, Sootpaw came down with greencough as well from being around Violetpaw.

He's begun to develop feelings for Sootpaw, because she can't see how small and weak he feels. Robinpaw went out to train with Halfstar, and Sootpaw came to the medicine den, revealing that she was sick as well. The two laid together for a while before Violetpaw decided to go find Robinpaw, despite being sick himself. He found the two sparring cats, and told Robinpaw Sootpaw was sick. When he was told to return to the medicine den, he collapsed. Robinpaw went over to him and got him up, sending him back to camp again.

During their time in the medicine den, Sootpaw asked Violetpaw if he wanted to be mates when they grew up. At first he didn't understand what she mean, but quickly understood despite his exhaustion. He agreed.

After recovering from Greencough, Violetpaw went hunting with Siltpaw, Juniperpaw and Sneezepaw. They ran into Jester and another loner at the border, Violetpaw hiding behind the other apprentices, overwhelmed with anxiety and paranoia.

Later, a while later, Violetpaw decided to face his fear of the outside. He left the camp at night, but ended up running into Darkscar, a rogue from Gladeclan itself. He was attacked, after not being fooled by the decrepit cat's tactics. Onyx, a cat from the Society, heard his screams, as well as Juniperpaw, both cats showing up to help the tom.

Violetpaw, full of anxiety, paranoia and fear about the upcoming battle, spilled his concerns to Robinpaw. The medicine cat apprentice asked if Violetpaw wanted to stay with him on the back lines to make sure he wasn't attacked. Violetpaw helped Robinpaw carry herbs, watching Juniperpaw come to say goodbye before the battle. He commented on how they were in love, and Robinpaw made him promise not to tell anyone. He promised, smiling to his friend. His nerves weren't completely gone, but he felt much better.

As Ashcloud gave a speech to rally the warriors, Violetpaw felt his spirits rise a bit. He felt more confident, something that didn't usually happen, and Robinpaw made sure to tell him he's staying with him again. During the battle, he helped Siltpaw and Sneezepaw out as Sneezepaw was unconscious and bleeding. He thought about joining the main battle before Robinpaw noticed and shut him down. Violetpaw became worried for Sneezepaw, pacing around and watching out to make sure no cats tried to attack Robinpaw. He was shut down again, Robinpaw telling him to sit down. He tried to calm down, but the sounds of the battle had quieted. He wondered if it was over.. Robinpaw told him that because the sun was still covered (eclipse,) that they had won. He trusted him. Soon after, voices rose from the forest, a call of victory. As they returned to the battlefield to see what had happened, Violetpaw saw Onyx. He bounded over, asking if she was okay, then asking if she'd stay with Gladeclan. Onyx was hesitant, stating that she hadn't belonged to a clan before the Society.

Violetpaw approached Halfstar, a nervous wreck, and introduced Onyx. When Halfstar reacted poorly, referring to Onyx as a 'that', he stood up for himself, only to be crushed down again by the leader. His respect for her shattered, but he still wanted Onyx to be safe. Halfstar, fairly, refused. Violetpaw was once again crushed, watching Onyx leave with tears pricking his eyes. He lost a friend.

Halfstar said he needed some sort of punishment, which didn't surprise him. A few moons cleaning the elders den was nothing compared to his guilt.

Violetpaw spilled his misgivings and regrets to a random bird, trying to calm down, then made his way back to camp. Lichenberry was able to calm him down and get him to talk, which allowed him to let go of the entire situation and return to his happy self. Another catalyst of his happiness was Sootpaw becoming Sootstorm, signalling his ceremony was soon.

Violetpaw was named Violetskies, alongside his sister, Tinycloud. He was so, so happy finally having made it to a warrior despite all the maladies and hardships he'd faced.

Shortly after his ceremony, he went to say hi to Robinpaw. After talking to him for a bit about Sootstorm and Juniperpaw, he found out that Robinpaw was embarrassed that Violetskies had gotten his name before him. Violetskies, not picking up on everything, thought Robinpaw meant he was lucky to be named a warrior, and had an outburst about feeling like his entire life was rushed. He feels slightly uneasy around Robinpaw now, but is still willing to try anything he can to cheer the tom up.
