## Pouncepaw

### Immediate Family

Mothers: Blizzarddawn and Wishflame (SC)Sisters: Pitchkit and Torrentkit

## Physical Appearance

Pouncekit is a medium gray tom with a darker gray stripe of gray running from his forehead & ears, to the base of his tail. His right paw is a slightly darker medium gray with a blue-gray "ring" above it. The tip of his tail is dark gray with a lighter gray "ring" around it. He has a white belly with two dark gray stripes "cutting" through the white. His eyes are a blueish-gray and his eyelids have a gray-brown spot on them. As for his spots, he has some blue-silver ones on his shoulders and back as well as gray-brown ones on his face, eartips and one on each side of his flank.

He has a scar on the left side of his lip from slipping on a rock stretching almost to the bottom of his chin to halfway between his lip and nose. His second scar is along the second half of his back that he got after telling RiverClan about Ravenflame being a traitor and she attacked him.

## Personality

The tom who once was wrapped up in the past, has much personality. He is very open and vocal about his problems, though he lacks the proper trust in adults most cats possess, this still continues. His trust is something he values, not giving it to many cats, but once it's earned, it can be easily redacted and near impossible to earn back. Having a sassy tone and quick quips, it's hard to tell when he's being sincere if you don't know him very well. He's a free spirited cat, often roaming the territories of the Clans. He is also very relaxed and doesn't feel remorse when he's caught trespassing, often forcing his emotions down as to not show how he's feeling. He's ambitious, training harder and harder daily, even after his apprenticeship. He's a cat that believes in karma, and that everyone who has wronged him will pay someday, no matter what. He has a dream that someday he'll lead RiverClan, but he's afraid of death and doesn't want to lose the leader, the one cat closest to him. Ever since the death of Blizzarddawn, Pouncepaw has allowed his anger to become his most notable trait, this causing cats to wish to not be around him. Always seeking for a fight, he disrespects the warrior code and crosses borders at will.

## Skills and Weaknesses

(-) He doesn't think before he acts

(-) When he speaks quickly or is incredibly angry, Pouncepaw gains a lisp - because of his lip scar

(+) He has long legs, granting him quick swimming and semi-fast running

(-) He has a minor allergy to catnip//catmint, giving him stomach pains and, if a lot is ingested, causing him to throw up a couple of times. This allergy will not kill him though.

## Life

### Kithood

Born in No Clan's Land to Blizzarddawn, the medicine cat of RiverClan, the young tom asserted dominance very quickly when he hit down on his mother's paw, a bad omen for the young medicine cat. His sisters, Pitchkit and Torrentkit were also born there. Leopardroar of ShadowClan also showed up at around the time Pouncekit silently (haha, you thought, he was screaming "meow" over and over) proclaiming that the world was to bright and it sucked. They had a staring contest until Bliz pulled him closer, Bliz is now "Om" and Brokenrose (also of ShadowClan) appeared, not very happy to know that her sister now has kits with the RiverClan medicine cat. Quilldawn also appears, Pouncekit doesn't like Quilldawn.

Arriving in camp, Blizzarddawn left and, immediately, Pouncekit began crying. Hickoryfrost, the deputy tried unsuccessfully to calm him down, so then he started playing with Torrentkit, who decided he was boring, so he went over to Blizzarddawn. Quilldawn yeeted him to the nursery and Pouncie began crying again.

After that, Pouncekit is kinda tired but his sister, Torrentkit, decided to have a contest with a literal rock.

Speaking to Blizzarddawn, he learns that his "real mom" died and that he was basically all alone in the world, this is the start of Pouncie's angst, he thinks his real mom is Brokenrose, so now he thinks Brokenrose is dead.

He then runs into Oakstrike, who he tells about his mom being dead, then they formally meet. Oakstrike and Pouncekit enter the nursery together because Pouncekit doesn't like the amount of cats that are in there.

He calls Beechstorm "ew" because of her pelt color.

He meets Lionkit, an older kit and they engage in a friendly conversation.

Pouncekit remembered how Lionkit was eating, and wanted to eat for himself, but, because he's 0 moons, eats a scale and starts choking, Coalheart gets it out of him and Pouncekit starts crying in absolute fear. He then tries to get Pouncie to meet Swiftbird, but Pouncie doesn't want to.

He then sees Raven and Bumbleclaw and tries to shoo them away.

Then he meets up with Pitchkit and they decide that hunting leaves is boring and leaves camp, running into Swiftgaze of ShadowClan - Pouncekit trips on a stepping stone and scrapes his lip, scaring him. Blizzarddawn and Stormriddle appear later.

Sad, Pouncekit meets Badgerstar and they hang out for a while.

There's a stranger in the Clan and Pouncekit wants to know who it is! Turns out it's Leopardroar of ShadowClan!! They become good friends and Pouncekit learns a battle move, and he halfheartedly tries it out.

Then he has a run-in with Sparkpaw and he immediately hates her, when he tries to leave she comments on his scrape, and he gets p i s s e d off - Blizzarddawn gets involved.

Almost right after that, Pouncekit meets Lynxpaw, Sparkpaw's brother, and they have a nice little chat, but it ends when Pouncekit no longer feels like Lynxpaw is worth it.

As if that wasn't enough, he meets Charglow, the mother of Sparkpaw and Lynxpaw.

Pouncekit meets Quilldawn, Pouncekit still does not like Quilldawn.

He meets Ravenflame while "practicing" a battle move, but in reality, he was spinning in circles. (to be continued)

* !! Pouncekit is now 1 Moon !!

He spends the entire moon locked away in the medicine den so that his scar can heal. (aka Kris was temporarily not allowed to go on Scratch and/or Discord and so this explains his absence)

* !! Pouncekit is now 2 Moons !!

Blizzarddawn died and Badgerstar comforted the child.

Pouncekit met Ravenflame again after getting a feather and learns that she's the mystery cat who's been hurting others.

He saw Galewhisper and avoided telling him who the mystery cat is.

He met Currentbranch and they played mossball, Currentbranch referenced wanting him as an apprentice, but Pouncekit asked about Badgerstar, making Current slightly agitated.

Pouncekit followed the ghost of Blizzarddawn out of camp and met Brokenrose and they spoke about Ravenflame. Badgerstar saw him entering camp and got mad.

Hearing that a Clan meeting had started, Pouncekit pads out to see what it was about, only to learn it's about the "mystery cat" so Pouncekit announces who it is and gets attacked by Ravenflame. He met Cloudkit for a few seconds and passed out from bloodloss.

Waking up, he saw Shellberry.

He spoke to a tired Lionkit.

He spoke to Brokenpaw and played mossball with her.

He spoke to Sparkpaw.

He met Cloudkit and played hide and seek with her, as well as agreeing to team up with her to find kits and give them mamas when they become warriors.

Some talks with other cats and Badgerstar that I don't remember all that much.

He met Tigerclaw and doesn't trust him.

Meeting Creamcloud, she straight up told him that she wants to be his mentor someday, but the thought of growing up was making him angry.

He meets Dewkit, his cousin and they go to the Duck Pond and play around, but Dew hurt herself.

* !! Pounce is now 3 Moons !!

Pouncekit had a heart-to-heart with Cloudkit about the future (and how she doesn't have a plan for her's).

He asks Quilldawn if they're related to Blizzarddawn.

Pouncekit appeared in StarClan, the in-state coma Leopardroar appears to him and they continue training. He learns about the Dark Forest.

Brokenrose showed up and Pouncekit spoke with her, even getting defensive and straight up denouncing labels. They went to Badgerstar's den and Pouncekit helped Brokenrose get semi-accepted into RiverClan.

Wishflame showed up and Pouncekit yelled at her.

Knowing Cloudkit's kithood was coming to an end, Pouncekit shared a heart-to-heart with her and they had a playfight.

* !! Pouncekit is now 4 Moons !!

Pouncekit watched Cloudpaw's ceremony and then had a talk with Badgerstar for fun, Badgerstar pushes Pouncekit into the Duck Pond.

Pouncekit gets stung by a bee and an infection begins to form.

Pouncekit and Cloudpaw spoke again, he showed his apprentice friend a battle move and they just treated eachother as good friends.

Pouncekit was yelled at by his sister because he lashed out in pain.

He tried escaping again, Valleystream caught him and Badgerstar sentenced him to a moon caring for Darkfern the elder. After that, Pouncekit visited Darkfern and cleared out the den and put in new fresh moss.

Pouncekit was in pain, the bee sting was too much and he was struggling, wanting to die from the pain alone.

* !! Pouncekit is now 5 Moons !!

Pouncekit has a frightening dream that leaves him waking up crying. Lynxpaw went up to comfort him and the two fell asleep together.

Badgerstar and Pouncekit spoke again, another swimming lesson that ended with Badgerstar having to fish Pouncekit out of the Duck Pond.

He met Ivykit.

Like always, Pouncekit met up with Cloudpaw and they basked in the sun together.

Pouncekit and Dewkit spoke.

Pouncekit met Ravenflame.

### Apprenticeship

* !! Pouncepaw is now 6 Moons !!

After his ceremony (and getting assigned to Badgerstar himself) Pouncepaw ran into the territory, meeting Squeak and Woodpecker the loners and Alyssa, who fell into the river and he had to fish her out. Once she was alright and in camp, Pouncepaw ran off again, trespassing on ShadowClan's territory and met Swiftgaze again. They walked to ShadowClan camp together, in the camp, he broke into a fight with Buzzardstorm and he was left weak, in the territory, Ravenflame finished him off.
