GRAVELHAWK

male ,, thirty-five moons ,, warrior ,, mistclan ,, heterosexual

APPEARANCE:-

gravelhawk is an average sized tom with a muscular build and large paws, however, his long fur makes him appear larger than he actually is. his fur is solid grey throughout and his eyes are olive green, their shape slightly more slanted than the average cat’s. he usually has a serious facial expression and gives off an angry or bored vibe most of the time.

PERSONALITY:-
gravelhawk is a coarse tom, lacking respect for other cats. he tends to believe that he is better than others and tries to command his clanmates like he was an authority figure. he is ambitious and proud in his abilities, one day hoping to become mistclan’s best warrior and eventually leader. afterall, why wouldn’t he be chosen as future leader of a clan- he believes fully that he has all the attributes required. at times, he may even seem power-hungry with his love for putting others down just to fuel his own ego.

however, despite being rude and self-absorbed, gravelhawk loves his family more than anything and would do anything to protect them, no matter how annoying he finds his siblings sometimes. he is also brave and ‘laughs in the face of danger’. 
    a lot of gravelhawk's anger comes from the fact that he believes he is looked down upon by his clanmates, something that stemmed from his parents seemingly hiding things from him when he was a kit. although to some this doesn't seem like much of a big deal, to gravel, it's infuriating to think that he was seen as too young or not mentally strong enough to deal with serious issues- to avoid this ever happening again, he hides himself with a strong, proud exterior and often feels to need to try prove himself to be better than other cats, mostly because it gives him a high sense of self-worth. however, he is secretly very kind to those he is close to and enjoys helping his friends and family out, often even seeming over-protective of them. gravelhawk is very competitive, whether this be a legitimate competition with an enemy or clanmate, or a playful competition with friends or family, and secretly becomes quite upset when he loses although he's likely to play it off

ABILITIES:-

gravelhawk’s best ability is fighting, which is aided by his muscular form that makes him strong, and his long, thick fur which makes an efficient shield between his skin and his enemy’s claws. however, his fur does cause difficulty for him as he struggles to withstand hot weather, making summer a very difficult season for him. gravelhawk’s swimming and hunting ability is average for a mistclanner, yet he lacks stamina and tires quickly from physical activity, especially running and walking. furthermore, he is not the best at decision making as he gets way too ambitious and jumps into situations without a plan.

HISTORY:-

gravelkit was born alongside two siblings, dustkit and mottledkit, to leaftail and shadowstep, not long after the twoleg-caused fire that destroyed the territories of both clans. as a kit, he didn’t know or understand that anything had happened, just that the clans had to walk a lot, which was really annoying for the young tom as he wasn’t particularly fond of being carried around by random cats that he didn’t even really know at the time. however, he also wasn’t a fan of moving long distances by himself, so no one won in that situation. the kits’ parents always tried to hide what happened to avoid hurting their children, but gravelpaw has always been sceptical that something wasn’t right. he highly doubted that his clanmates would act as devastated as they were without something happening. gravelpaw feels a lot of irritation due to his parents hiding things from him as he feels like he is being treated like a kit or like they think he’s ‘too inferior’ to know these things. he is often rude towards them because of this and ignorant of how they may feel about it.
