## Physical Description

Paleheart is a large tom for his age, with broad shoulders and a long muzzle. He has dusty brown fur, white legs, a white tipped tail, a white stomach, chest, and muzzle. He has large, long scars over each yellow-green eye.

## Personality

Paleheart's personality has differed from a kit to a warrior. He's a protective cat that doesn't take challenges or insults lightly. He's extremely competitive and loves a good tussle. He is always careful not to be taken advantage of. Paleheart has quite a temper and can be snappy, even rebellious.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Due to Paleheart's large size, he has an advantage in battle. He strongly dislikes frogs, so when that is all that there is on the prey pile in leaf-bare, he prefers to go without food.

## Life

### Kithood

Palekit was born in RiverClan to Ashspirit and Fallendust. After Palekit was born, his mother bled out and died. Fallendust soon left the clan to become a kittypet. Palekit was a depressed kit. As he got older, he met a tom named Swiftstar. His two older brothers, Ripplepaw and Stonepaw, stayed by his side and became his best friends. The three were extremely close and couldn't be separated. His siblings were from his parents first litter, and he was the second.

### Apprenticeship

Palekit soon became an apprentice. He was apprenticed to a tom named Swiftstar. Swiftstar taught Palepaw how to hunt, fish, swim, and fight. Swiftstar showed Palepaw his advantages and his disadvantages. Palepaw's taller build allowed him to win battles against Swiftstar. Most of the time Swiftstar tripped him up. Swiftstar was smaller, so he was faster. Ripplehawk and Stonepool were both killed in a raid on RiverClan from ThunderClan. They were both new warriors and got their names before Palepaw because they were older.

### Adult Life

Paleheart became a warrior at 12 moons. He was a quiet warrior, but soon became friends with Mosslight. Paleheart took her out on a hunting patrol, and the patrol soon turned into play fighting. It was the most fun he had had since Stonepool and Ripplehawk had died. Paleheart went to the river, and was swimming with Mosslight. He went underwater and popped up in front of her, and that coined the nickname "Palefish." Paleheart soon found out his friend, Badgerstrike, had greencough. He led the tom to the medicine den with Mosslight and got him some prey and water. Paleheart had been keeping an eye on Badgerstrike, and he was worried. But, aside from that, he started to grow feelings for Mosslight.

Paleheart was talking to Badgerstrike about Mosslight and when Badgerstrike got upset about what Paleheart had said, Paleheart snapped. He insulted Badgerstrike and said things he didn't mean. He realized what he said, and he ran out of the camp. Meanwhile, he didn't realize Badgerstrike was having an asthma attack when he left. When he got back to camp, he saw Badgerstrike and felt incredibly guilty. He rushed over to the tom and pressed himself against Badgerstrike and then Mosslight ran over. Badgerstrike asked Mosslight if she loved him and she said of course. Paleheart stood and watched, trying to throw in an apology or comforting word or two, but Badgerstrike snarled at him and he stopped talking.

Mosslight was grieving over the death of her sister, Pebblestorm, and Paleheart comforted her. They both confessed their feelings for eachother. Paleheart asked Mosslight to be his mate, and she enthusiastically said "Yes!" Paleheart smiled and Mosslight leaned against him. They were leaning against eachother when Badgerstrike walked up. When he saw them. He flipped out. "What are you doing with my daughter?!" He snarled. Mosslight, overwhelmed, ran away from them. Badgerstrike followed them, and Paleheart pulled him back. Paleheart tried to talk some sense into him, but stubborn Badgerstrike walked away. Paleheart sighed and went to lay with Mosslight who had settled down.

Paleheart had left Mosslight and had gone out to hunt. He didn't realize Badgerstrike was there too, until he got yelled at for chasing away Badgerstrike's mouse. Paleheart apologized again, but that's when the badger grabbed Badgerstrike. It grabbed his burnt leg and tossed him back and forth. Paleheart attacked it's stomach, causing it to drop Badgerstrike. The badger threw Paleheart, and it winded him and broke his left front leg. He fought the badger off with the last of his energy, but didn't kill it. He limped over to Badgerstrike, and collapsed. His vision became spotty and he blacked out. (Sounded a lot less op in the roleplay woah) Paleheart woke up later, and he saw a still blacked out Badgerstrike. He went back to camp for help and got another cat to go get Badgerstrike.

Paleheart woke up in the medicine cats den, his face bruised, and leg hurting. His apprentice, Oakpaw came to visit him. Oakpaw showed Paleheart his battle moves, but Paleheart wasn't interested. "Show me your hunters crouch." Paleheart instructed. Oakpaw did so, but he was shaky and nervous, so Paleheart made him take a rest. Paleheart fell asleep. Paleheart thinks of Oakpaw as a son, because when Oakpaw's father died, Paleheart made a bond with the apprentice.

Paleheart finally worked up the courage to ask Oakpaw if he wanted to adopt him. Oakpaw said yes, and Paleheart nuzzled the apprentice. It felt good to be a father. It was then when he found out that Mosslight had adopted two other cats, Mistkit and Rainpaw. Paleheart was happy, but he spent more time with Oakpaw. He practiced battle tactics with Oakpaw, but as soon as he got back to camp, he sat in the shadows, trying to hide. He cried a bit, but trying to hide it, he left the camp. Paleheart, not noticing Oakpaw following him, climbed a tree. He cried, not loudly, but just let his tears hit the ground. Oakpaw climbed up after him and rested his tail on Paleheart's shoulder. Paleheart jumped and he fell out of the tree, but managed to grab onto a limb. Oakpaw hauled his father back onto the branch and Paleheart scolded Oakpaw for scaring him, with tears still in his eyes.

Paleheart was about his business, but he had woken up upset, for he had missed Oakpaw's warrior ceremony. That was when he wandered past Mosslight, and she called out to him, announcing that she was expecting kits. Paleheart began to cry, and Mosslight asked him to get Oakpaw, now Oakstrike. He retrieved his son, and brought him back to his mate. Paleheart nuzzled Oakstrike and Paleheart dropped to cuddle with his mate.

Paleheart was playing with Oakstrike in the river near the gorge, and he fell off. His claws were holding him in place, while Mosslight, who almost threw herself off to save him, Oakstrike, who was clinging to him from safe ground, Ravenpaw, and a few other cats tried to pull him up, but he was too far down already. the dirt crumbled and he fell. Mosslight and Oakstrike found their way down safely, and while Paleheart was alive, he was in a coma. Badgerstrike, Mosslight and Oakstrike carried him back to camp, and he was in a coma while Mosslight gave birth. He woke up, and was visited by Mosslight, Oakstrike, Oakstrike's adopted daughter, Swiftkit, and two of his kits, Adderkit and Poolkit, who didn't know Paleheart was their father until Oakstrike told them.

Paleheart was laying with Mosslight, when two of his kits, Blazingkit and Adderkit ran up, and Adderkit climbed atop Mosslight's head. The kit claimed her head as his clan and named it, "MommyHeadClan", and renamed himself Adderstar. Blazingkit claimed Paleheart's head and called it, "DaddyHeadClan", calling himself Blazingstar.

Paleheart went out for a walk, and was enjoying the scents of the forest, when he caught the smell of one of his clanmates, Lynxpetal. He trotted forward to greet the tom, but didn't realize that Lynxpetal had just swallowed deathberries. He watched Lynxpetal jump into the river, and Paleheart ran forward, desperately grasping at the tom. He couldn't get a hold of him, so he ran down the bank as the river washed Lynxpetal away. He dragged the tom out of the river, and took him back to his camp.

Paleheart watched as Poolkit was carried to the medicine den by Mosslight. Poolkit, and his brother, Blazingkit had gotten into a violent fight over Swiftpaw, and who would be better for her. After the fight was broken up, both parents questioned the opposite kit. Blazingkit with Paleheart, and Poolkit with Mosslight, who was cleaning his wounds. Poolkit had a nasty clawed shoulder, but Blazingkit had a scratch over his eye.

Paleheart complained of a headache, so he went to the medicine den. Mosslight saw him, and comforted him. Swiftpaw ran to get Oakstrike as Paleheart started bleeding from the mouth. He died :)
