Adventuring, untouched nature, hunting squirrels, comfortable silences.

Large gatherings, sand, unnecessary affection.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

Hollowglow is a quick thinker and doesn’t freeze under pressure. He often seems immune to stress. He’s incredibly capable of doing assigned duties, and doesn’t hesitate when doing so. He’s also particularly precise tom. Hollowglow doesn’t miss the details and doesn’t fail to take care of what needs to be done.

*Faults*

On the opposite side, all of his strengths are only applicable when he feels the task at hand is important. He refuses to do silly or mundane things unless it is for someone he cares for. And the fact of the matter is, he doesn’t care for many others. He’s not particularly unkind, just cold. Hollowglow also often comes across as very inattentive.

## Personality

One of Hollowglow’s most outstanding traits is that he’s rather… absent-minded. It’s not that he’s unintelligent— it’s quite the opposite. He just prefers to march to the beat of his own drum, unbothered, uncaring. Most attempts at conflict or confrontation that Hollowglow is faced with tend to be ignored or overlooked. Anything that he deems worthy of his attention is handled swiftly and concisely. As such, interactions with Hollowglow tend to vary from aloof ramblings to intelligent and precise conversations, and the mood rapidly sways from one to the other. When Hollowglow decides that he likes someone, which isn’t often, he is a valuable ally. He’s honest, reliable, quick to defend, and slow to irritate. Hollowglow’s own capabilities are most apparent when he’s doing tasks for one of his friends.

## Detailed Appearance

Hollowglow is a broad-shouldered tom with a dense, long coat and unusually long whiskers. His pelt is often poorly-kept and somewhat curly, and he has a unique black coloring which glows red in the light. Hollowglow is a bit on the shorter side, though what he lacks in height he makes up in muscle mass and sheer weight. His eyes are a bright amber-green, and his pupils always seem a bit too dilated, lending a sort of dazed look about him.

## Backstory

Hollowglow hasn’t had a particularly eventful existence— that he remembers. He was born into Sunlit Prairies by his mother, Strikingday, and father, Silkclaw. He was the strongest one of a weak litter of three and was the only to survive the moon. As such, he was catered to until he became an apprentice. Life became… confusing when his mentor took him on. Suddenly, this life that had been so soft around the edges and kind to him was crude and full of aches and pains. His mentor didn’t mince words. She didn’t give him any special attention or gentle lessons. Hollowpaw was expected to learn quickly or fall behind. It was frustrating and grueling. After two or so moons passed, the work became a bit easier. Perhaps his mentor was slowing down, or maybe his body was becoming accustomed to the hours of walking and many days of manual labor.

Hollowpaw had effectively learned that the world wouldn’t be kind to him just because he was himself. He wasn’t special or different. He remembers that his mentor first complimented him when he correctly identified dock leaves. Then, he was given another lesson. And the cycle continued. Hollowpaw was fully ready for all the responsibilities that came with being a tracker when he became Hollowglow. He thought he could handle anything until his mother fell ill. Hollowglow’s lifelong idol quickly wasted away. No amount of visits to the medicine cats could help her regain her strength or get some weight back on her body. She passed in her sleep. There really wasn’t a dramatic shift in Hollowglow’s life. Perhaps, he’d been expecting this to happen, and he’d already mourned what he had lost. Hollowglow and his father saw less of each other. Their own respective griefs kept them apart, and their relationship simply never mended. Neither of them put much of an effort into it. As far as Hollowglow is aware, he’s still an elder that helps care for apprentices and regales them with tales of a past life, with his lively mate and a perfect kit.
