## Personality

As a kit and apprentice, Frostkit/Frostpaw was shy, quiet, and didn't like talking to cats he didn't know. He had no friends, but he was fine that way. He didn't care what other cats thought about him until warriorhood. He could throw a snowball in a kit's face, and not care.

For a while after he was first created, Clawfrost used to be grumpy, but nice if you caught him at the right time, he could be pretty nice. He cared a lot more about what other cats thought about him.

Lately, he's appears quite a lot kinder, and acts more like he did as a kit, minus his antisocial behaviour. He knows that he'll go to StarClan soon, so he spends his time doing what he wants to do while he can. He isn't afraid of what other cats think of him, and is kind to the grumpiest/meanest of cats (looking at you, Waspsnow-before-head-injury)

## Skills and Weaknesses

-Fishing: Clawfrost is bad at fishing because of a long-lasting effect of severe greencough

-Swimming: Clawfrost doesn't like swimming because of his heavy build, long fur that drags down when it comes in contact with water, inability to hold his breath for a long length of time, and old age.

-Smelling: Clawfrost has a bad sense of smell because of another long-lasting effect of greencough.

-Land hunting: Clawfrost is actually fairly patient and silent, so he could be good at land hunting if he chooses to– he doesn't, however. He hates land prey, but uses this skill for catching fireflies, butterflies, dragonflies, pretty much anything that flies.

## Likes and dislikes

-Pikes – Dislike. Clawfrost found a piece of plastic inside a pike once, he now hates pikes.

-Salmon – Like. Despite his death being caused by him trying to catch a salmon, Clawfrost loves salmon.

-Fish eggs – Like. They're hard to find, yet he still likes them.

-Leaf-bare – Like. Suitable for his long fur, and he likes snow.

-Green-leaf – Dislike. Doesn't mix well with his fluffy fur, and he gets hot easily in green-leaf.

-Other cats – Depends. As a kit/apprentice/early warrior, Clawfrost preferred spending time on his own, rather than with other cats. Now, Clawfrost enjoys the company of other cats.

## Backstory

(none of this was in roleplay unless mentioned otherwise)

### Kithood

Clawfrost's mother was a rogue named Fox (NPC) who never wanted him. On his first day of life, she left him with his RiverClan father, Willowclaw (NPC), who named him Frostkit after his white fur. Frostkit nursed from RiverClan queens, but they didn't treat him like their own (not that they didn't want to); Frostkit was raised by his father, Willowclaw. In the meantime, Willowclaw met Sparkfire (NPC), and they later became mates. As soon as Frostkit was done with milk, Willowclaw became a queen to take care of Frostkit full time, and Sparkfire continued to be a warrior, yet he was so dedicated to his clan, he didn't have much time for Frostkit. Frostkit was a mostly shy, quiet kit, often being sheltered by Willowclaw.

### Apprenticeship

Frostpaw was apprenticed to Sparkfire, and they grew a strong bond. Frostpaw would often catch leaves as they would fall down from trees in leaf-fall, decorate lumps of snow with seashells and tree branches in leaf-bare, and gathered flowers in new-leaf, decorating his family's nests with them. He never had time to make friends with other cats, but he didn't mind, or care, and usually was too shy to talk to other cats, but he had better things to do. Frostpaw never knew who his mother was, he had always thought his parents were Sparkfire and Willowclaw. As he grew older, Frostpaw wondered why he wasn't black or had yellow eyes like Sparkfire or why he only had Willowclaw's green eyes and not his fur. Willowclaw often sheltered Frostpaw from his past and other cats, so he never told him why, but he did tell Sparkfire not long after he met him. The day before his warrior ceremony, Frostpaw asked Sparkfire this. He told Frostpaw that he wasn't his biological father, but Frostpaw didn't believe this. He asked Willowclaw, who, regretfully, told him this was true, knowing that holding the truth from him for any longer wouldn't be good. Before he could tell him more, like about how she abandoned Frostpaw, he ran off to find Fox, which he did. Even though he wanted to reunite with his mother, Fox was enraged to see Frostpaw, and challenged him to a battle. For all of the fight, Fox had the slight upper hand, giving him many of the scars he has today, until Willowclaw followed Frostpaw's scent trail to where he was fighting Fox. Willowclaw hadn't always been extremely strong, but the drive to protect his kit overpowered Fox, and killed her. After the battle, Willowclaw was covered in many deep wounds, and the medicine cats couldn't cure him. The battle wounds and an infection caught from some killed Willowclaw just before Frostpaw's ceremony. Frostpaw was devestated. He went on with the ceremony, getting to be named Frostflight after his calmness and separation from the rest of the clan, but after the ceremony, he asked the leader if he could have his name changed to Clawfrost in honour of his father.

### Warrior

As a warrior, Clawfrost found he had more time from training, learning, and hunting, and green-leaf was incredibly boring. He tried making friends with other cats, but they rejected him, figuring that since he ignored them as an apprentice, that he'd not want to become friends with them. Many cats made fun of him for being different, for being a rogue kit, for liking toms, for losing both his biological parents and having an adopted father, for decorating his nest and pelt with flowers, the list went on. He eventually thought that there was something wrong with him, and he stopped being different. He stopped paying attention to Sparkfire, he took the flowers out of his nest and replaced them with branches, he stopped being himself. Gradually, the teasing stopped, but this time left him different. He was grumpy, sad, way different from the cat he once was. Many moons later, one leaf-bare, Sparkfire became an elder and got whitecough, and Clawfrost couldn't take it. He went to the area Sparkfire was quarantined in, and "hugged" him, nuzzling him on the cheek. Even as Sparkfire's whitecough became greencough, Clawfrost didn't stop meeting his father, worried that he would loose him. This made him happier, somewhat gaining a new personality. Sparkfire recovered, but Clawfrost got whitecough, then greencough, regaining little bits of his grumpy personality with every day he had it. He recovered, but he could no longer hold his breath as long as he used to. One day while hunting, he accidentally clawed a cat who was swimming underwater. This cat was Snow (NPC). Clawfrost started a conversation with him, and after Clawfrost asked Snow where he came from, he began to tell him his whole backstory, but Clawfrost had to go, or the other cats would be suspicious, so they agreed to meet at the same place the next day, so Clawfrost could hear the rest of the story. They met there, Snow finished his story, and he asked Clawfrost to tell him his backstory. This, again, took multiple meetings, but Snow mainly asked so he could see more of Clawfrost, as he had began to start liking him (not in a 'friendship' kind of way). Clawfrost liked him back, but he didn't know this, as Clawfrost had convinced himself that he could only see toms as friends as a lasting effect of many other cats' teasing. One night they met, Snow asked Clawfrost if he'd want to be his mate. This caught Claw off guard, but he realized that he did like Snow back. Every other night, Snow and Clawfrost met at the river, and they'd mostly just sit there and talk, past when Claw became an elder, until Snow died.

### Elder

When Clawfrost was nearly 80 moons, Sparkfire died peacefully in his sleep, and Clawfrost was devestated. He no longer had any reason to stay a warrior, so he became an elder, and became the grumpy Clawfrost some might know. (This is where his TFCRP story began!)

### In Roleplay

The first moons in TFCRP, Clawfrost's life was fairly normal. In his first roleplay, Hailstream brought him a fish and they talked for a little while. After some moons, Snow died, which caused Clawfrost to be devastated, and have a personality change. A little while after this time, he caught whitecough, which eventually developed into greencough. He quarantined himself in the elder's den, but when Dawnfeather became an elder, he stayed at the opposite side of the den. As a long-lasting effect of this disease, his sense of smell was worsened and he couldn't hold his breath as long as he used to. Clawfrost figured that Snow would want him to be less grumpy and more helpful to the clan, so he tried his hand at fishing (failing 75% of the time), and decorating the elder's den and the nest of every cat. More moons later, he wove a wreath of willow and mint leaves (after nearly dying while trying to get the willow leaves, a ThunderClan cat named Caneclatter helped him), and Briarpaw added a pink-orange flower to it as an extra touch. As the roleplays continued on, Clawfrost acted older and older. He watched a firefly fly around the elder's den, and realized it would be relaxing to have one in his den all the time. He tipped over a garbage bin next to the two-leg houses and found a jar, which he rolled back home and caught a firefly in. Over time, he caught more fireflies, yet they took too much work, and he gave the jar to Waspsnow.

#### Clawfrost's death

@bunny---girl : Clawfrost sat by the bend near where Adder River and Shadow Falls meet, when he smelled salmon. He dropped into a hunting crouch, and pounced when he figured the fish was underneath him. His timing was off however, he had pounced when the fish was further away from him, and he splashed into the water. The current quickly dragged him underwater. He fought his way to the surface, and screamed for help, but by this time, the tom-cat was nearing the top of Shadow Falls.

@-Cosmic\_Star- : Waspsnow was carrying a firefly jar, the one he had given her. “Hey- hey- swimming huh? Can I join?”

@bunny---girl : "HELP!" he called before being pulled under again. Frantic bubbles floated up to the surface, now right at the peak of Shadow Falls.

@-Cosmic\_Star- : “Help? What’s- what’s help? Are you fishing? Can you get me one?”

@bunny---girl : He was now rushing down the waterfall, nearing River Ledge. "HELp!" Clawfrost screamed again, "I'M GOING TO DIE!"

@-Cosmic\_Star- : “D-die? What’s that? Don’t play tricks!”

@bunny---girl : The elder didn't have time to answer as the waterfall shoved him into the deepest depths of the water underneath Shadow Falls.

@-Cosmic\_Star- : She realised what was happening, and without another thought about what horrible fate she could suffer, barrelled in after him, bubbling, holding on to his smile, his face, the memories. She lifted her head above the water, flailing.

@bunny---girl : Clawfrost lay next to the river, coughing up water. "Wasp? Listen to me. When you have kits, \*cough\* tell them my story." He coughed up a piece of seaweed and went limp.

@-Cosmic\_Star- : “No! No! Take my blood! Have- air- have my life instead! PLEASE CLAW STAY ALIVE!” She screeched

#### In StarClan

Clawfrost met a cat named Silentsnake who was also new to StarClan.
