Falconsoar

**Falconsoar** is a huge dark ginger tom with large paws and sky-blue eyes.

**Falconsoar** is the current deputy of SkyClan and was just appointed to the position recently. He was born as **Falconkit** in the SkyClan nursery with his sister Firekit to their parents Adderstrike and Acornfall. Adderstrike favored him as a kit over his sister, who drew closer to their father as a result and distant from her mother and brother. Falconkit was polite, social, and played well with the other kits in the nursery, but was timid and lacked assertiveness. Whenever there was any kind of conflict between the two louder personalities of their generation, Firekit and Tulipkit, he kind of dipped into the background and hid behind his mother for a long while until the fight subsided.

SkyClan's leader Shrubstar noticed his timidness and wanted to give him a confident mentor to bring out those traits in the kit. He apprenticed Falconpaw to Ripplemarsh, a bold former rogue who had recently joined the Clan. Shrubstar's plan worked as Ripplemarsh's confidence rubbed off Falconpaw, as well as his riskier behavior. Tulippaw and Falconpaw played together a lot as kits, but grew very close as apprentices. Falconpaw often slacked off on his duties so he could spend more time with her, and eventually got a crush on her. They were inseparable; Tulippaw was the schemer and Falconpaw was good at getting the two of them out of trouble. During this time, he tried to rekindle his relationship with his sister Firepaw, but to no avail. On the other hand, Acornfall made an effort to spend time with his young son and to try and get to know him better, and while they are on cautiously positive terms it was always a bit awkward between them.

Falconsoar and Flashfire were made warriors together and while sitting their vigil, he realized he finally had a chance to talk to his sister alone. He asked her why she had been avoiding him for moons, not even making eye contact with him. Flashfire admitted that she used to never know why their Clanmates preferred his company to hers, but that she didn't care anymore, her priorities had changed. Confused, Falconsoar tried to keep asking her questions but she was silent after that point. After being warriors together for a few moons, Tulipstem admitted that she had feelings for him, which he gladly accepted, and was thrilled he didn't have to make the first move. They dreamed of starting a family together, and Falconsoar had always found being a permanent nursery queen appealing as he was good with kits. He never told anyone about but kept the idea in the back of his head. Tulipstem was hesitant to bring kits into a world that was growing more dangerous as Shrubstar was drawing SkyClan into more unnecessary conflicts that had a growing death toll. Falconsoar was given Forestpaw as an apprentice, so they had to put their plans on hold anyway. Flashfire expected to be made a mentor to Forestpaw's littermate Squirrelpaw, and was furious when Ripplemarsh was chosen instead. Her jealousy of her brother grew and she began to be short-tempered with him.

Falconsoar's parents Adderstrike and Acornfall were no longer mates, as it was found out that Adderstrike had feelings for another Clanmate, Cloverpatch. He remained loyal to his mother and became good friends with his step-father. Flashfire saw this as him abandoning their father and it caused of an argument between them. After all this time, he still couldn't find the courage to stand for himself to his sister and decided to just walk away, going against his mate's advice. As Forestpaw was near the end of his apprenticeship, Falconsoar and Tulipstem's kits were born: Hawkkit, Rosekit and Ruekit and he loved them with all of his heart. Once Forestwind became a warrior he dedicated all of his free time to playing with and nurturing them. Everything was going well for the family, until Shrubstar's mate Hazeltwig was found dead on the RiverClan border early one morning. Shrubstar blamed Cloverpatch, who was on guard that night, for not being vigilant enough and exiled him from the Clan out of anger. Cloverpatch was never seen again, and at that point Falconsoar and Tulipstem knew that it wasn't safe in SkyClan any longer. Shrubstar's wrath and recklessness was too great, and they made plans to leave in the night. Shrubstar caught wind of their plan and didn't want to lose two strong warriors and future soldiers. Skinkstep, the deputy had just passed of yellowcough, so he appointed Falconsoar in her place. He was shocked as there were much more experienced warriors to choose from. But he kept his duty to his Clanmates, and is serving as the deputy even though he would rather do anything else.
