## Appearance & Personality

#### Appearance

Not that it matters, but Stonesnap was a tall, thin, short-furred tom. His pelt was mainly gray, with a few white and paler markings. He had black tabby stripes and amber eyes, as well as tufted ears and a thin scar winding along one shoulder.

#### Personality

Overall, it's unimportant. But he was very serious, stony, and intent. He didn't talk much, and he was always strict and curt. He was a bit more lax during his youth, but he hardened with age.

## Story

Stonekit, Crowkit, Coldkit, and Aspenkit were all born in HorizonClan to Willowrain and Grayfur. Stonekit got along best with Crowkit. They would sort of just exist and do things together. When they were five moons old, though, he got pretty mad at Crowkit for accidentally getting Grayfur permanently injured and nearly getting Aspenkit killed. There's more information on that on Crowflight's page.

But anyways, Stonepaw and Crowpaw became apprentices a moon before Aspenkit and Coldkit, because Aspenkit was hindered by his injury and Coldkit wanted to stay with him. Stonepaw chilled. He trained with Crowpaw. He also became friends with Darkpaw, a much older apprentice who was soon to be a warrior. That was cool. Aspenpaw and Coldpaw finally became apprentices - but only a moon later, there was a rockslide in the mountains, and both Coldpaw and Grayfur were killed. That was pretty upsetting for Stonepaw. He distanced himself from his remaining family, and instead found that he felt somewhat drawn to the waters of FallClan. Not too long after this, several new apprentices moved in from OasisClan, and Stonepaw befriended one of them in particular- Frostpaw.

He finally completed his training and earned the name of Stonesnap, and he then moved to FallClan not long afterwards. While there, he became Stormpaw's mentor. Stormpaw had just moved from MarshClan, and was a troublesome cat, but Stonesnap was determined to train him well. He was hard on his apprentice, but he was a good teacher in the long run. During his time in FallClan, Stonesnap became mates with a she-cat named Brookfeather - but after Stormclaw had become a warrior, Stonesnap decided to move back to HorizonClan upon hearing of the deaths of Aspensting's mate and two of his kits, Lilyspring, Weaselkit, and Smokekit. Brookfeather was pregnant at the time, and although Stonesnap felt rather guilty for leaving her and his unborn kits behind, his mind wasn't swayed. He moved back to HorizonClan and therefore missed the birth of his daughter, Oceankit. He existed in HorizonClan for, like, a month, in which he only went to visit Brookfeather and Oceankit occasionally. Then he was attacked and killed by a group of rogues on the outer border. Bye-bye, Stonesnap.

Anyways, a while later, he gave Aspenstar a life for courage.
