### **Personality:**

* Minktuft is a blunt, sarcastic, yet reserved tom. He takes life seriously and is typically not afraid to tell a cat off if he believes they're acting foolish.
* In general, Minktuft projects the personality of a "grumpy uncle," who's seen his fair share of trouble and is well and truly done with it for the rest of his life. However, those who manage to break past his hard shell will find a far softer heart beating underneath.
* While stern and blunt with his attitude towards his peers and older cats, Minktuft is actually kind and caring, especially to the younger members of Stoneclan whom he is more lenient with, and will not hesitate to jump into action if one of his clanmates are in any form of danger.
* Minktuft shows little kindness towards cats of malicious intent, and is very protective of cats who can't defend themselves. As such, Minktuft tends to be a tom younger cats seem to gravitate towards for support, despite his crass personality.
* Acts of adoration and admiration tends to fluster Minktuft, often causing his edgy persona to shatter easily.

### **Random Fact(s):**

* Minktuft's favorite prey is pheasant, his favorite flavor of rock is green zircon, his favorite fish is the Three-Spined Stickleback, and his favorite hobby is collecting different types of colorful bird feathers. Also his favorite cooked food from Echokit's food cart are Fluffernut cookies, though he refuses to admit it.
* Minktuft dislikes foolishness, betrayals, gossip, and above all, Skywing Shenaniganstm.
* Minktuft has a serious phobia of large dogs, particularly wolves.
* Minktuft's Kitting Day (Birthday), is the Third Half-Moon of Green-Leaf. (Middle of August)
* Even though he'll never admit it, Minktuft likes soft things and has a habit of collecting patches of fur from his clanmates, without their knowing, to line his nest with.
* Despite there being plenty of room in the ever growing Warriors Den, Minktuft never sleeps there. Instead, he's made secret nests out of Tigerpounce's many dugout holes around the camp, and tends to disappear where no one can find him. Only the kits of the Nursery, some of the younger apprentices, and Skywing are able to find his hiding places. Despite Minktuft's best efforts to keep himself hidden.
* Sunpool have given Minktuft the endearing nickname of "Minky," and the rest of the kits of the Nursery were quick to adopt the term as well, much to Minktuft's embarrassment. He's also sometimes known as "Uncle Dragon" for his grumpy disposition.
* It is currently unknown what Minktuft's eyes really look like, as he's long bangs covering his eyes has been that way his entire warrior career. Those who've known Minktuft since he was really young claim to know what his eyes look like, yet the story differs from cat to cat. The younger cats and kits have since developed legends and rumors surrounding the mystery of Minktuft's eyes, ranging from different eye types, to having more than two eyes, or no eyes at all. Some claim he's blind, while other's say that if you look Minktuft in the eye, you'll be cursed for the rest of your life, or die outright. The fact that Minktuft never bothers to clarify, confirm, or deny anything about these rumors doesn't help matters in the slightest.
* Minktuft's tail is actually quite prehensile. He's able to wrap it around and carry various small items like small prey and kits. Minktuft is also able to sling rocks with his tail as a form of defense or distraction, and has grown to be rather accurate in it. But only just so. A single average-sized kit is about his maximum limit.
* Minktuft shares his hobby of feather collecting with Maplespots, often collecting and trading feathers between just the two of them like trading cards. Their shared passion developed into an in-depth system of determining the quality of a feather based on its type, rarity, luster, condition it was in when retrieved from a hunted bird, as well as the type and gender of the bird it came from. The two take their hobby so seriously that they treat their "trading sessions" as if they were underground black market deals, in an attempt to keep their shared hobby hidden from the rest of their clanmates and maintain their rough images within the clan.
