BATSTRIKE
MothClan | Deputy | Tom | 40 Moons | Heterosexual
Appearance
Batstrike is a tall and lean tom with a long tail. His black pelt is short and typically ruffled around the neck and belly, but lays flat against his back and legs while feathering out slightly at the tail tip. The felines underbelly, forepaw toes, and tail tip are white. A strip of white also appears on his muzzle. A square head props up two large ears, houses a black nose, golden yellow orbs for eyes, and maw which hides away a handsome grin.
Scent - Crisp woodsy smell with a faint resemblance to the forest he used to call home
Voice - Strong and clear with a honey smooth ring
Personality
Batstrike is a charming tom who is confident in his skills and in who he is. This, paired with his looks, means that he can be slightly manipulative to others. He has a sharp mind and solid thought-process to back it, giving him a witty tongue. He is genuine and sweet towards those he is close to, but it takes time for him to figure others out and then decide how he feels about them. He really strives to make the ones he's close to happy, but to others he may be distant. Batstrike is a great listener, whether he genuinely cares or if he is just trying to gather useful information entirely depends on how he feels about who he is listening to.
Throughout his apprenticeship he developed a strong distaste for failure, he has become a perfectionist. The tom doesn't impose his expectations on others, he carries the weight on his own shoulders and is very hard on himself. Despite the toms kind nature and need to blame things on himself he does have an abrasive side. He deals with conflict or drama with others poorly. His instinct for dealing with these kind of situations is typically to start a fight, since he is more confident in his claw work to solve issues. The tom was doubtful of his loyalty to MothClan when he joined the clan, as he felt they were just recruiting cats with useful skills, but his heart has changed as he became rooted in the clan. With his brother at his side, former mentors support and a deep sense of pride for his first apprentice there Batstrike has decided he's found his family.

History
Batkit was born an IvyClanner and was named by his parents for his dark pelt which reminded them of the winged creatures that took to the night sky. He was the oldest of a litter of two, his brother being Pinekit. The two brothers grew up and remained very close. He had an uneventful kithood, a quiet but sweet kit that spent his time playing by himself or with his brother while exploring the safety of camp.
The young feline had become a lanky tom when it was time for him to begin his training. Batpaw was apprenticed to Shadowstorm who was a tom that was always out training to better himself. Batpaw struggled to please Shadowstorms high expectations and found his own failures and shortcomings to be unacceptable. After grueling hours of training under Shadowstorm it became evident that Batpaw, with a different build, simply wasn't meant to fight like his big muscular mentor. Once that had been established Batpaw began to excel at fighting in his own way. The apprentice stuck close to his mentor and slowly picked up the perfectionism he was exposed to, doing his best to not disappoint the cat he was growing close to. If he wasn't out training he spent his free-time enjoying a swim so he wouldn't have to socialize with any other apprentices.
Batpaw was deemed Batstrike for his skill in battle when he became the tall lean warrior he is now, but his time as an IvyClan warrior was short. Shadowstorm had decided to join MothClan and had mentioned how good an opportunity it would be for him to showcase his ability too. The tom would have been torn if he had to chose between leaving with his old mentor or staying behind with his brother, now Pinetuft. He felt his brother may have been growing unhappy in IvyClan anyway though so informed him that he was planning on leaving the clan alongside Shadowstorm and requested that Pinetuft do the same. With a bit of effort the tom convinced his brother to accompany him and his mentor to join MothClan. The feline had an iffy loyalty to his clan, which would accept any cat with a desired skill, but stands by his mentor and brother. At 12 moons old he began his journey as a young, clever and confident MothClan warrior.
