Silverpaw

**Silverpaw** is a silver charcoal rosetted tom.

## Description

### Physical

The tom was the runt of his litter, but nonetheless, he was desirable to his housefolk due to his intricate genetics. Silverpaw is true to his name- a platinum-based cat shaded with dark silver hairs found along his back. His fur is short in length, yet surprisingly soft, a coat a spoiled kittypet would certainly wear. Thanks to his bengal ancestry, Silverpaw is dappled in darker rosettes that are practically black in color, giving him a false leopard-like appearance. He also boasts the elusive charcoal gene, for his face and paws are blackened, as if scorched by a flame.

Stature wise, Silverpaw is strong, taking up an athletic physique thanks to his active, never-sit-still lifestyle. He is a lean critter, with limbs that appear a little too long for his shorter stature, riddled with slender yet trained muscle. He is more streamline than he is bulk, making him swift and light on his paws.

### Character

The young tom is filled to the brim with contagious enthusiasm and general jolliness. Wherever he goes, he walks with pep in his step and confidence in his stride, because he seems to find optimism in even the darkest of times. While his demeanor may seem adorable at first, Silverpaw's youthful energy can grow overwhelming and annoying, no doubt. He doesn't mean any harm from it- he's just a happy guy, he can't help it! The bengal loves long walks, long conversations, long stories...frankly, he loves just about everything.

However, his friendliness is can overbearing. Y'see, Silverpaw doesn't really understand the concept of personal space. To him, everyone is his buddy, down to even the grumpiest of elders. He may seem a little too focused on making friends, but Silverpaw can be responsible, he swears. Unfortunately, the tom's attention span isn't the...longest. He can be forgetful of what he's doing, but when he remembers, he's determined and on the top of his game! He wants to be the best warrior and the greatest mentor there ever was, but...he also likes flowers and swimming, so sometimes, he forgets his task at hand.

## History

### Background

"Silver" was the runt of his kittypet litter, perhaps undesirable to most, but perfect to the twoleg breeders. He was born with much-wanted markings and genetics that would make him an important part of their program. He was born with several littermates that would be sold off to different homes, but little did the bengal kittypets know, LakeClan had a plan.

The local kittypets had complained about having their kits taken away, and so, Rainstar lead a raid to steal kits and take them into the clan, so they could grow up together. When Silver was outside with his littermates, the clan lead the raid, and Rainstar was able to successfully take the silver tom. However, before they could grab the other kits, the twolegs took them inside in a panic.

He was renamed "Silverkit" and was raised in LakeClan's nursery by the queens. He knew they weren't his real parents. He missed his siblings, but he did his best to remain happy and look on to life in LakeClan as a new adventure in his little life.

## Relationships

### Friends

**Rainstar:**

He loves the leader, who's willing to give him the time of day when he's doing something dumb. Silverkit enjoys Rainstar's presence, especially when she's humoring in his antics. Of course, she does scold him from time to time. He occasionally sees the silver tabby as a maternal presence, something like what his mother might have been, should he ever have gotten the chance to meet her.
### Other

**Lilypaw:**

He's had only a few brief interactions with the pretty apprentice, some in the nursery and some when she was an apprentice before him. Silverit doesn't have much thoughts on Lilypaw at the moment- he's played a few fun games with her, and there have been other times where she's accidentally stumbled over him while not focusing. Nonetheless, he thinks she's alright. He doesn't particularly hate any of his clanmates, regardless if whether or not they've stepped on him before.
