### Immediate Family

Chiaspeckle (biological mother), Blastblizzard (mother), Buttercuphaven (biological father)Mistletoeblast (sister), Blisteringflake (brother)

## Appearance

Bearabode's bicolor chocolate-brown fur is thick and fluffy, especially around his neck and cleft tail. White patches appear at the base of his tail, his underbelly, parts of his back, his mouth, his left ear, and his right front paw. Additionally, white freckles adorn his body nearly everywhere. His cute-looking fuzzy rounded ears and golden eyes stand out from his tall, strong build. His shortened jaw, inherited from his biological father Buttercuphaven, results in his tongue partially sticking out from his mouth.

## Personality

On the surface, Bearabode's personality could be described as extroverted, expressive, and maybe overconfident. But he doesn't mind what others think of him. Being attentive and focused on his goals, he shows that he is a fast learner and is actively focused on being the best, however he gets impatient quickly when things don't go his way. He tends to not think before making decisions, choosing to fix his mess later. As for those who oppose him, he shows no restraint in letting them in on his bitter side and telling them exactly how he feels. Although he remains protective of his family and close ones, he chooses a very independent lifestyle, not bothering with those who could get in the way. The reckless tom would rather pick a fight than settling things with a conversation because what good is a rational conversation when he's got a sharp tongue and a potential paw-to-their-head? To those that show him kindness, he hopes that they don't take his sarcastic and witty remarks the wrong way, as deep down, he really does appreciate them, although you probably wouldn't ever catch him openly being grateful.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Self-confident, assertive, and straight-talking personality || Bearabode doesn’t waste time. He is decisive and he says what needs to be said. He can easily take control of situations to get things done and is a powerful leader, whether the position is big or small.

Willpower || When Bearabode sees something that needs to be done, he’ll do it no matter what it takes.

Independent || Bearabode prefers to stand alone. He believes that others drag him down. He doesn’t give in to social pressure and defies shame for his actions.

Imposing || Bearabode’s attitude can be overwhelming to others. This can lead to feuds or relationships falling apart - but they won’t fall apart before he rejects or distances himself from the other cat first! He is also generally not easy to get along with.

Controlling || Bearabode’s main fear is others having power over him. He will do nearly anything to gain power.

Afraid of emotional vulnerability || Due to his frequency to lash out, it is common for cats to dislike him. Under his tough front is vulnerability. He represses his feelings about nearly everything under a thick emotional wall and will not address them, let alone talk about them. This is his biggest weakness since he believes that vulnerability will allow others to have control over him.

Strong loyalty (to a select few) || Bearabode is very loyal to a few cats (to be exact: Mistletoeblast, Blisteringflake, Peakpaw [StC], Berrykit, Wolfkit, Chiaspeckle, Blastblizzard, Buttercuphaven, medicine cats [kind of]) but not at all loyal to others, like his clanmates. However, the ones he is loyal to he will put first over anything and protect with his life.

Deceiving || Bearabode is rarely truthful, spreading lies to entertain himself.

Takes health for granted || Bearabode can be known to ignore and overlook his physical needs. This is not good as his jaw can cause many problems for him.

Poor hunter || Due to his short jaw and large body, he isn’t very good at hunting.

Decent fighter || Even with his short jaw, Bearabode’s determination has made him find other ways to fight. What he lacks in the mouth department he makes up for with his claws and large size.

## Life

### Kithood

Bearkit was born to Chiaspeckle and Blastblizzard in the ThunderClan nursery just as winter was fading away. Quickly developing a rather harsh personality, the kit met various cats, one of them being his biological father and uncle, Buttercuphaven, who he inherited his short jaw from. The two bonded quickly, which was unusual for Bearkit, but he felt connected to the warrior through the disability that they shared and felt that he owed the warrior a bit of kindness.

At four moons of age, new kits appeared in the nursery, Peakkit, Summitkit, and Slushkit, who were adopted by Cinnamonsparrow. The kit became jealous that he now had to share the nursery with these new kits but also felt obliged to talk to them, as they appeared to be the same age as him. He ended up talking with Peakkit, an energetic lilac-colored tom and Summitkit, a lilac tortoiseshell she-cat.

Throughout his kithood, Bearkit was a typical kit, despite his outspoken ways. He played with the other kits, got into trouble, and counted down the days until his apprenticeship eagerly.

### Apprenticeship

Bearpaw was apprenticed to Buttercuphaven, surprising no one, including himself. Throughout his apprenticeship, they worked through different ways to hunt and fight while not using his jaw.

Bearpaw developed a friendship with Peakpaw. The two of their personalities worked together well, and Bearpaw found himself actually enjoying the other's company.

His Ma, Blastblizzard, gave birth to two kits, Wolfkit and Berrykit. Bearpaw helped with the birth eagerly, doing anything he could to help his Ma, even if that meant having to deal with a few pesky kits that got in his way during the birth. After that, he vowed to himself that unless it was to visit his siblings, he would stay far from the nursery at all costs.

Bearpaw met countless cats during his apprenticeship, but did not develop any real friendships beside Peakpaw.

At 11 moons of age, Bearpaw found Peakpaw's dead body after the tom had fallen off of a tree. He took his anger out on the co-deputy that was with him, Sequoiatower. He viewed the song that she sang to Peakpaw's body as a joke, and took a disliking to her. It was at this moment that Bearpaw truly grew up. No amount of training could prepare him for what happened.

And as it seems, no amount of training could prepare him for the rat invasion either. Just days after Peakpaw's death, Bearpaw heard cats yelling to get out of the camp, as rats had invaded all the clans. Cats sought shelter at the gathering place. Bearpaw was discoordinated and frustrated. He felt helpless for not being able to help his family out of camp. For the most part, he spent his days sulking, as well as lashing out at cats that tried to talk to him. To everyone's luck, a rain storm appeared for a bit which drove out the rats from a potion of the clans. Bearpaw put himself to use by hunting. Eventually, the rats were driven out.

After these two events, life returned to normal for most cats. ThunderClan's camp had to be repaired, cats were injured, and ThunderClan as a whole needed a better spirit. Physically, Bearpaw had only received a few scratches in all of the chaos, and he promptly ignored them. Mentally however, Bearpaw was a changed cat. He was never known to be polite, but now he easily snapped at cats, gaining a massive ignorance for the feelings and problems of others. He hid his own feelings under a thick emotional wall, preferring to not address them to himself either. It would only bring pain, and he didn't need that to weigh him down.

Only a moon remained until Bearpaw became a warrior. He was well prepared in hunting and fighting. He was ready, though not enthusiastic at all. He told himself that as long as he was given a warrior name that he could say, he would be content.

### Adulthood

'Content' would not be the right word to describe how Bearabode felt as he received his warrior name from ThunderClan's deputy, Bunnyblitz. To put it simply, he hated the name. The reasoning for the suffix was because of his "strong connection" with Buttercuphaven, and the newly-made warrior knew he was much more than that. He did indeed have a strong respect for his former mentor, but it frustrated him that now his name would match Buttercuphaven's. He didn't want to be seen as a second Buttercuphaven, he wanted to be seen as himself. A strong, independent cat with values that weren't just reduced to a connection he had with a cat. The chocolate-colored tom promptly gave the deputy a mean look before stalking out of camp with newly-named Mistletoeburst and Blisteringflake chasing after him. Despite the concern they had, he easily deflected it when he saw that his sister wasn't happy either, as both of her mentors weren't at the ceremony.
