## Personality

Jaystorm is a very social, fairly easy-going, extroverted cat, who's moods are constantly changing. He takes joy in the company of others, and is plenty talkative, expressing all his thoughts and feelings directly through words. He can get overexcited when meeting new cats or finding out new things, but often goes back into a somewhat calm form once he gets used to things. He may be a little over-trusting and short-sighted. Jaystorm is also very carefree, hates responsibilities, and can be a little lazy at times. Although he has a sense of adventure when he feels bored or does not want to do anything else, he often prefers and simpler life full of no rules and no sense of time. Of course that isn't the case with life. He is very dismissive if it comes to following the warrior code, thinking cats should be able to do what they want. In addition, Jaystorm is also slightly mischievous, completely fine with breaking rules and not doing what he's supposed to be doing, and sometimes can be over-dramatic. He is also a big procrastinator, avoiding responsibilities, always thinking about how he feels now and rarely about the future, which may cause problems for him in life.

Although being a calmer sort of cat when he's in a neutral mood, he is a more of a short-tempered cat. Sometimes, being what a cat would often call mouse-brained, he won't recognize threats or jeers, but if he does, he takes it on a personal level. Other times, he's simply just in a bad mood. Meanwhile, Jaystorm in a good mood is very optimistic and energetic, but can be very reckless and lose sense of reality if he gets too hyped up.

Jaystorm strives to impress others, which can sometimes leave him being self-centered and little boastful; however, his heart is mostly in the right place, sometimes standing up for what's right. Also, he's a bit of a flirtish cat. There's times where he can be over-confident, but there's also times when he can be under-confident - usually when he's trying out new things.

After the death of Scorchbright and Thrushcloud, Jaystorm becomes a slightly less outgoing and sociable cat. He becomes more sensitive and more short-tempered, especially around the subject of his decreased littermates and mother. He also becomes a bit more philosophical and less mouse-brained- although he still lacks some common sense.

*Note this personality is not final, and will be shaped by what happens to him.*

## Life

### Kithood

**Vague summary of Kithood: Jaykit is born in the WindClan nursery along with his littermates, Thrushkit, Hawkkit, and Heronkit to Scorchbright and Swiftbreeze. He soon familiarizes with the nursery and then the camp and meets some other cats along the way.**

**Moon 0: Summary: Jaykit comes to existence. Soon, his eyes and ears open up, and he meets a few new cats. He is fascinated by the world:** Jaykit was born in the second litter of Scorchbright and Swiftbreeze, along with Thrushkit, Heronkit, and Hawkkit. He was the second to last born and the smallest in the litter. Jaykit immediately wanted to nurse, but he started going in the wrong direction - away from Scorchbright. Scorchbright guided Jaykit the right way, and he quickly started nursing.

Jaykit opens his eyes for the first time, and is amazed at everything in the nursery, especially the nest. He spots his littermate, Thrushkit, who gives him a flower. Jaykit is surprised, and thanks Thrushkit, but gets surprised when his littermate yelps and Jaykit tumbles into Thrushkit. Confused, he calls Thrushkit "Tushkin", who calls Jaykit "Joykin" in response. They start squealing eachothers names, and semi-playfighting (however, it's more like Jaykit trying to 'playfully attack' Thrushkit and Thrushkit hiding). After a little, Jaykit gets confused about why Thrushkit won't play, and decides to go back to sleep.

Jaykit is sleeping when his older brother, Warblerpaw, comes into the nursery. Jaykit is fascinated by Warblerpaw and keeps staring at him. When Warblerpaw asks if Jaykit is done staring, Jaykit responds yes, although he isn't sure what Warblerpaw means. They have something like a conversation, with Jaykit asking if Warblerpaw can teach him to hunt, and Warblerpaw refusing, of course, Jaykit isn't sure why, but doesn't argue too much. He learns Warblerpaw's name and tries to figure out how to say his own name correctly. With the help of Warblerpaw, he does so.

He accidently tumbles out of the nursery and is spotted by Flashwhisker. Jaykit is surprised by the hugeness of everything in camp, and randomly agrees when Flashwhisker told him to be careful, although didn't give it much thought.

Around twilight, Jaykit sneaks out of the nursery, only to be stopped by Burrpelt. He spots her broken leg and her gash and is surprised and a little scared. However, he pushes away those feelings and starts talking to Burrpelt about whether or not Warblerpaw is his littermate or brother, and Burrpelt explains that Warblerpaw is Jaykit' brother, and not littermate. Then, when Burrpelt says that you feel horrible pain when you break your leg, Jaykit feels mixed emotions, and feels bad for Burrpelt and a little scared for himself, and asks if Burrpelt can make the pain go away for herself. Burrpelt explains about medicine cats, and Jaykit is both confused and glad. Although he still isn't exactly sure what a medicine cat is.

**Moon 1: Summary: Jaykit continued to meet new cats and learns a basic hunting crouch:** Jaykit walks out of the nursery, even though he isn't supposed to, wanting to meet new cats. He meets Sloeberry, who teaches Jaykit the basic hunting crouch. Sloeberry puts a leaf in front of Jaykit, and Jaykit pounces on it well, but ended up rolling and gets tied up in the leaf. Sloeberry frees Jaykit from the leaf and compliments Jaykit's pounce. Jaykit is thrilled at the compliment, but then he has to go back into the nursery.

Jaykit meets Nightshadow and Wolfkit. Jaykit's eyes are transforming into their permanent color, and Jaykit is sure his eyes are magical, since both Nightshadow and Wolfkit seem to think so as well. However, as he starts talking more with Wolfkit, they decide his eyeballs may not be magical when he can't make them turn another color at will. Jaykit is a little disappointed at this, but brightens when he realizes that Wolfkit is a lot like him, and agrees to be un-smart with Wolfkit! They continue to have a sort of conversation about sneaking out of camp with Nightshadow existing in the background.

He spots Mallardripple, the medicine cat, coming over, and immediately starts bombarding him with questions, fascinated by Mallardripple's healing skill and wanting to learn some for himself. Then when Mallardripple says Jaykit is too young, Jaykit is disappointed, but brightens up when Mallardripple offers to play.

Jaykit was in a bad mood while Thrushkit stared at the sunset.

**Moon 2: Summary: Nothing, Jaykit's owner went skiing**

**Moon 3: Summary: Not much happened, Jaykit's owner was skiing half the time-:**

Jaykit meets and has part of a conversation with Doveflutter when he sneaks out of the nursery to look at the stars and Doveflutter catches him.

He spots Blossomsnap trying to leave, who looked scared, excited, and sad. Jaykit comes over and asks if Blossomsnap is alright, and gets snapped at by her. Starlingpaw comes over and protectively protects Jaykit with his tail. Crackstep starts comes over, but then stops and exists near the prey pile. Jaykit tries to get Blossomsnap to tell him what she's busy with while she tries to leave while Starlingpaw continues to be protective with Jaykit and Crackstep tries to come over to them again, but her broken leg makes it hard. Blossomsnap says she's leaving. Starlingpaw seems to understand why, but Jaykit does not and thinks she's just going on patrol. Then she says she's not going on patrol and Starlingpaw starts asking about why she's leaving and her family and how long she's leaving for, while Jaykit is sort of confused in the background. Then Blossomsnap doesn't give an answer to if she's leaving forever or not, and walks away from camp, leaving Jaykit, Crackstep, and Starlingpaw all watch her go, and although Jaykit wants to run and stop her, he can't bring himself to.

He meets Starlingpaw again and plays Clan with him.

**Moon 4: Summary: life**

**Moon 5: Summary: life, Jaykit meets some cats I don't remember**

**Moon 6: Summary: Jaykit meets his brother and later is made an apprentice.** On a sunny day, Jaykit is sitting in the middle of camp, wondering about whether or not he would prefer being an apprentice or a kit, when he is spotted by the brother he didn't knew he had, Rowanblaze.

### Apprenticeship

**Moon 6(continued) Summary: Jaykit is made an apprentice. As Jaypaw, he meets a few new cats including his mentor, crosses a few borders, accidently trespasses, and overall explores the WindClan territory.** Jaykit and his littermates are made apprentices, with Jaypaw being the second to be made an apprentice out of his littermates. Jaypaw is almost- almost unable to believe that he's an apprentice now. He is apprenticed to Rowanblaze, his older brother.

Jaypaw is exploring when he sees Blossomsnap, who is hunting a rabbit. Jaypaw does not notice the rabbit due to his poor sense of smell. So he's a bit loud, causing Blossomsnap to tell him to be quiet. Jaypaw asks why, and finally with the help of Blossomsnap he sees the rabbit and watches Blossomsnap catch it in awe. Soon some other cats come in, and around this time Jaypaw gets distracted and slips away.

Jaypaw accidently wanders into ShadowClan territory and is confronted by the ShadowClan apprentice, Midgepaw. Jaypaw begs for Midgepaw not to tell about him accidently trespassing, and Midgepaw agrees to not. Relieved, Jaypaw and her have a conversation about ShadowClan and WindClan territory.

He and Juncopaw exist near eachother near Cloud Lake.

He meets his mentor/brother who shows him around the territory.

Jaypaw accidently wanders into the Twolegplace this time. He meets a kittypet named Poppy, who is fasinated by Jaypaw. Jaypaw basks in her awe and is also somewhat curious about Poppy.

Jaypaw is confused about life and why nothing has happened to him during a storm and his brother, Thrushpaw, appears and they go to find shelter.

**Moon 7-9 eh Jaypaw existed**

**Moon 10: Summary: Jaypaw's sisters, Hawkpaw and Heronpaw dies; Jaypaw tries to get through the grief, and also gets a thorn stuck in his paw.**

After hearing the news of his two sister's deaths, Heronpaw and Hawkpaw, Jaypaw is devastated and has a breakdown in the apprentices den, which includes yowling and throwing branches and then crying. His older brother, Warblerpaw, comes in an gives him a pep talk about grief and comforts him a bit; then agrees that they should look at the stars later and that his mentor and brother Rowanblaze should not find out.

He sees Thrushpaw in a apprentices den, and they have a brief and awkward conversation.

Jaypaw goes stargazing with Warblercrown, who notices Jaypaw is limping a bit due to a thorn stuck in his paw. Jaypaw tries to hide it, though.

Jaypaw is wandering towards ShadowClan territory when he accidently tresprasseses again. He meets Midgepaw again, who is annoyed but also notices he's hurt when he falls over due to his infected thorn-paw. After a painful failed attempt, Midgepaw manages to remove this thorn and Jaypaw is sent back to WindClan.

**Moon 11 Summary: He meets a few new cats including Willowpool and Thrasherkit:**

Jaypaw is running through WindClan territory it nearly crashes into Echoburst, but luckily neither cats get hurt.

He runs by Heatherblush when running some more.

He meets Willowpool when seeking help wisely from the medicine cats when he gets a thorn in his paw, and starts to develop a bit of a crush on her.

He sees Willowpool again and asks to share some prey. Willowpool agrees and they eat a hare.

Jaypaw meets his new brother, Thrasherkit, and has a hard time understanding him, so he thinks his name is "Slasherkit."

**Moon 12:** i forgot xD

**Moon 13: Summary: certianly an unlucky moon for Jaypaw - Scorchbright dies. However, he does get his warrior name.**

He meets Willowpool in a lavender field after a long walk around the territory.

Jaypaw had just finished hunting when he spotted his relatives beginning to gather around Scorchbright, who apparently had a serious cough. He is sure Willowpool can fix Scorchbright at first and demands it, but when he realizes it's too bad to stop, Jaypaw runs away into the medicine cat den and starts crying. And that was the last time he saw his mother alive.

Jaypaw is upset about Scorchbright's death, and runs in attempt to escape grief until he can't run anymore, and is found by Willowpool.

Redstar calls a meeting and grief-stricken Thrushpaw and Jaypaw get their warrior names: Thrushcloud and Jaystorm.

### Adult Life

**Moon 14:**

Jaystorm is running through the territory, just beginning to perhaps calm down a bit since Scorchbright's death, when he runs into a group of cats surrounding Thrushcloud's barely-alive body, who apparently almost drowned. Commotion including cats nearly drowning saving each other happens, but Jaystorm is mostly focused on Thrushcloud, his final remaining littermate, who dies before his eyes.

Jaystorm is half-heartedly eating prey in camp when his younger brother Thrasherkit tries to get his attention. Jaystorm, not aware what kit it is, ignores him and tells him to go away.

Jaystorm is having a hard time with depression over loosing his mother and all his littermates. He goes inside the nursery to check in on Thrasherkit and Sunshinekit, and sees Willowpool. He falsely thinks she doesn't care about him when she hisses at him to be careful; but then he realizes she doesn't mean it. He notices her starving herself and prompts her that she should be eating well; Willowpool pours out her depression, Jaystorm tells her that she can't die because the Clan needs her, he needs her, and he doesn't want to loose her.

**Moon 15 - 17: I forgot xD**

Jaystorm finally has almost fully recovered from the deaths of his close family and is thinking that life might not be so bad. After all, he's still young. With upbeat spirits, on a bright morning he goes for a hunt. Scenting a rabbit, he gives a chase and eventually ends up pelting down a rabbit burrow. However, the ground is loosened from the recent rains and, before he even knows what happened, Jaystorm (and the rabbit) are dead due to collapsing earth.
