## Description

### Personality

Although somewhat quiet and shy around cats he isn't comfortable with, Patchwhisker is a calm and gentle personality, generally speaking. He speaks with a somewhat quiet tone on most occasions, and is approachable and kind to most everyone he meets, even MoonClan cats. (WIP)

It's no secret to cats that Patchwhisker was practically built for fatherhood.

## History

Patchwhisker, known previously as **Patchy,** initially joined SteppeClan during Thrushstar's leadership. Upon encountering Gingerfrost, he began to hang around the forthcoming SteppeClan territory, having become a loner after escaping from a kittypet shelter some moons before. He had run into the tabby while exploring; after learning of what she did in her Clan, they quickly became friends. However, he didn't feel interested in joining immediately under the founder's leadership, as Gingerfrost had mentioned that she questioned his leadership.

As Thrushstar's hunger grew, Patchy became closer and closer with Gingerfrost, eventually developing a small crush on her that later expanded into something much more. She confided in him that she had thought the SteppeClan leader had dedicated himself to be with her, which angered him immensely, so much so that he confessed his feelings for her. Upon this revelation, she admitted that she liked him too, but would cease on the relationship they shared until after her brother's plot to be rid of Thrushstar was over.

While the leader and deputy were out, Patchy finally found the courage to join SteppeClan, and became **Patchwhisker** once Foxstar received his nine lives. Soon he'd find himself overjoyed at the premise of being a father to his mate's kits, and awaited their arrival.

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Foxstar

Patchwhisker has a forever admiration for his best friend. Learning his love had a brother was, at first, a little nerve-wracking; sure, he knew he'd have to get some approval before they furthered their relationship, but he found that Foxstar was kindhearted and had the best interest of everyone in mind. This helped him relax, and they quickly became the best of friends, spending time with each other often in times of peace. The leader's ascent into his position made him a little nervous about their friendship, but he shook this off after a few weeks, especially once Foxstar found his footing in leadership.
This relationship was modified slightly upon Patchwhisker learning he would be a father. He was eager to tell his best friend this information, despite overall nerves that came with worrying about himself and his mate. He was pleased to see Foxstar's excitement about this information, and dedicated himself to being an appropriate father to the leader's nieces. He does miss their excursions, but understands how busy they both are, and retains his fondness for the tabby leader.
