Houndsnap

**Houndsnap** is a black cat with green eyes.

**Houndsnap** was born as **Houndkit** to unknown parents.

## Appearance

Houndsnap is a slender and tall black tom with green eyes. He is built to run, and his body is very sleek and above average in height. He has a very foreign oriental face, and large wide-set ears. He has short fur and a long tail.

## Personality

Fast-paced, quick, and ready. These are the attributes to apply to Houndsnap, often found with a swift action, a friendly look, and underlying bubbling anger. Holding onto an easy anger that riddles his mind too often, and a guilt that begins to eat him up inside, Houndsnap reacts with snark and mocking. Reactive, short-tempered, and quite mocking—it’s hard to tell whether Houndsnap really wants to make a difference.

A fighter by heart and gaze, it was even a wonder he found himself a mate. Truly adoring her finds waves in his heart; answering it on his own with frustration and guilt. Houndsnap finds it hard to admit that he trusts Dreamfrost deeply, though he knows it's solidified in the way he can ignore his turbulence when he’s with her. Despite being an extroverted friendly face, underlying, he closed off his heart towards others outside the circle.

Though argumentative and sarcastic, he cannot deny he cares.

Houndsnap is constantly ready to move on the go, often coming off as a happy go lucky cat with his dreams high and his failures low. Despite this show, Houndsnap is a much more careful cat, his eyes only ever on what dangers that may lie in his duties, and never anywhere else. It even shows when he sees a cat with dangers looming over them.

Houndsnap is a cat of the ideology of Clan. He may value learning by every day, especially when his favorite saying is that we learn something new every day; but Houndsnap holds others, Clan, and loyalty above his own self. It is by regards a lacking concept that he cares not much for himself. In fact, he struggles with caring about himself and his appearance. He never grooms himself in his bouts of frustration with himself.

His beliefs guide him through life. He can be quite independent and not include others in the trails he takes in life. There is a sense of pride and confusion on his current position. He found himself a mate and a family. While his promise has broken, he still feels inclined to keep others he doesn’t know well at a length. Houndsnap tries to keep the cats that could hurt him at a minimum, and he’s only begun to appreciate the moments with others he’s currently close with.

Despite his continued distancing, Houndsnap is one of the more extroverted cats you'll meet. He's quick to answer and quick to dream, though he hates it. Houndsnap can be petty and snarky, but he won't hide his hate, nor his kindness in his heart. Extrovert or not, he is not one to fake how he feels about another, save for any moments he may have once fallen for just a mere look. He keeps those old moments close to his heart. Fleeting emotions like that are ties that he wishes to only remember and not speak up about.

For someone who only grew up with his father for family, it's surprising how he is so upfront and extroverted, though he seeks interaction in a form his late father could not provide, dancing conversations and keeping things never so close to his heart. He misses his father dearly, and misses the deep heart to hearts he'd have with him, but it is what it is.

Guilt drives his underlying actions. What if questions run through his head on a daily basis. He hides it under a guise of stricter rules he places on himself, quick to snap at others even under rain when things break this routine and those rules he places on himself.
