Vapourtrail

## **Appearance & Personality**

Vapourtrail is a large cream coloured tom. His fur is fluffy and not well kept. He has a faint yellow chest spot and darker yellow ear tips, ear fur and tailtip. His eyes are smaller than most cats and are a bright yellow.

Vapourtrail is an arrogent, rude and short-tempered tom. His sarcastic remarks and rude attitude make him seem carless and sometimes chaotic. In reality he is constantly improving on his weaknesses. He is focussed on victory and will never back down in a fight. He is extremely loyal to SkyClan. He is always mocking opponents during fights, giving himself time to observe his opponent and predict attacks. After a long time, Vapourtrail has finally learnt to never underestimate his opponens. Despite his mostly negative traits, Vapourtrail's competitive and hardworking attitude often changes other cats' opinion on him. As a warrior, he has a goal; to be the strongest cat in SkyClan, not for selfish reasons but so he can protect those who can't help themselves. Vapourtrail is all about respect, an act of heroism or selflessness will get respect from Vapourtrail and he will be friendly depending on how much he respects you.

## **Brief History**

He was abused by his father during half of his kithood, before escaping to SkyClan and then becoming an arrogent apprentice and an even more arrogent, but good warrior. He had two litters of kits with his mate Cobraswirl, and became SkyClan's deputy under Thunderstar.

## **Detailed History**

At age 3, Rain was constantly physically and mentally abused by his father Colt. His father always pushed Rain's limits and forced him to try harder than his maximum. Rain obeyed his father, knowing that when he was stronger, he could protect others from cats like his father.

When he escaped, he became a kit in SkyClan at age 4. Being an outcast, he didn't really talk to anyone and his negative traits started to form. When he became and apprentice, he would train constantly with and without his mentor so he could achieve his childhood goal.

At the age of 8, he barely saved Cobrapaw from a tree fall. He trained harder after this incident so he would be able to save cats with ease, rather than having it such a close call.

Becoming a warrior at the age of 11, his overconfidence got the better of him and decided to confront his father. He arrived at the den, he did have the intention of killing his father. Once he entered the den he once lived at, an overwhelming smell covered his nose as he spotted the mangled corpse of his father. He was upset that he couldn't kill his father, but after time relieved that he didn't have to take a life so early. There were more cats like his father who he needed to protect.

Vapourtrail was one of the first to join Roxiepaw's rebellion during the time of Widowstar, Vapourtrail greatly respected Roxiepaw and Perchlily's acts of heroism against Widowstar as he would never have thought of what they did.

Vapourtrail despised Perchstar's choice in deputy being Thunderbird. Thunderbird assured Vapourtrail that she was fit for deputy and future leader. This caused Vapourtrail to apologise to his angry mate Cobraswirl, who believed that Thunderbird was a good deputy from the beginning.

When BloodClan attacked, Vapourtrail had fought hard and pretty well, but he did not think so, he has been silently putting himself down and blaming himself for the raids and Perchstar losing a life.

Shortly after he and Roxiepaw devised a plan to attack BloodClan with the help of ThunderClan, Cobraswirl who had decided that she wants to have a family with Vapourtrail didn't approve of the plan and cautioned Vapourtrail to be careful, Vapourtrail made a promise that he will.

Cobraswirl fell pregnant after a conversation about it, Vapourtrail was extremely happy for Cobraswirl and himself and was excited to tell all of his clanmates as they will take on the responsibility of parenting. However they picked a bad time to be born as the ground was hard and most of the herbs dried out. But Vapourtrail was extremely happy to have Grapekit, Steelkit, Lightningkit and Viperkit in his world. He loved them all dearly but was somewhat upset with Grapekit having Cobraswirl's voice issue as he wanted their lives to be easy, this would make it difficult.

It was no secret that Vapourtrail wasn't happy with eating other clans' prey BloodClan had gotten them. It was against his morals and he didn't agree with Perchstar on the alliance with BloodClan, so he was rather happy when Perchstar finally cut off ties with BloodClan. However BloodClan retaliated and Vapourtrail again didn't feel he did enough, he feels responsible for Ashdust and Perchstar's death. However he had no time to mourne, tirelessly going on hunting patrols, searching for prey to get SkyClan back on their feet after BloodClan's raid.

Vapourtrail finally slowed down his endless patrols when his mate Cobraswirl finally convinced him that he shouldn't stress himself if everyone pulls their own weight. Especially after Cobraswirl gave birth to Sootkit, Raggedkit and Ferretkit.

Shortly after Cobraswirl and his new litter, Thunderstar offered the deputy position to Vapourtrail which Vapourtrail accepted gracefully.
