tom : 75 moons : mothclan warrior : biromantic ace

> > APPEARANCE: {torbie and white tom with a curled tail and often seen with flowers in his fur}

> items used: Male Tortie, Cat Accessory(Cleomes, "spider flower"), Rare Pelt(Unusual White)

Patchfrost has long, thick fur like a warm, downy coat around his body, draping down his neck and feathering out his legs, belly, and tail. His face is angular but framed by a mane of fur, and his large paws are tufted and hairy. On the large end for a typical cat, Patchfrost won't have set any records but he'll certainly stand distinctly above the young or small. His ears sport long fur that give them a tufted appearance. His tail is not abnormally short, but it does have an unusual curled carry, and he is not able to fully uncurl it. He thus does not rely on it for balance at all beyond being a left-leaning counter-weight when climbing.

His pelt is a patchwork of black, orange, and white, with secondary tones of grey-brown and red. His face is mostly black, with a patch of orange curling around his muzzle to his left cheek. His upper front legs and lower hind legs are also largely orange, while his back and tail are mostly black. He has a tuxedo white pattern.

His form is elegant but broken up by scarring and the signs of a hard life before the settlement into the new territories.

He likes flowers and grooms them into his fur such that even after they fall off he still smells of them. His favorite is the cleome, or spider-flower, which he works into his mane and tail every few days, removing any browned leaves or dingy petals as he grooms regularly.

Scar Summary: Tattered ears, small scar through his upper lip, revealing his teeth/gums a little, discolored burn scar on left shoulder.

> > PERSONALITY:
{brief; sarcastic, closed-off, vain, all-or-nothing}

Patchfrost doesn't believe in half-measures; he either cares, or he doesn't. Most of the time, he decides he doesn't. This is mostly to upkeep an aloof persona and prevent the world from hurting him beyond mere physical aspects. Deep down, he has a kitten like fondness and fascination with pretty things and simplicity, a big part of why he bothers to seek out the same flower over and over.

Having a dry, curt, and crass sense of humor, he tends to be sarcastic and rude, to the point of being genuinely offensive, even when he really is just joking around. He often knows when he's gone too far, but will usually just shut up and leave without apology, or go for the worst he can think of if he's angry. He tends to lie and excuses it by claiming to think everyone else is lying about something, too.

He's sexy and he knows it. Patchfrost is extremely particular about his appearance, and hates to go out in the rain for fear of mud, or in the wind for fear of getting twigs and dust in his fur. Secretly, he does like the rain, but only from an aesthetic level, and the sound of it. He often thinks of himself as above other warriors, though he still defers more or less to the authority of the deputy and leader- although remarks and a little "playful" backtalk aren't against any code.

He respects cats who are hardy, able to insult him, or able to make him genuinely laugh- although he hasn't met many who fill that third one. He feels little tie to blood(though he might change his mind if he ever had kids he considered his own), preferring to make allies over friends and in the end loyal only to the title of -star and himself. He could probably use some kind of reality check or someone to push him in the mud playfully a little.

He has a resonating voice, able to cover semi-deep to lighter ranges, usually speaking at singsong-y yet glum tone(comparable to Rob Cantor of Tally Hall and "Shia Lebouf").

> > HISTORY: 

Patchkit was born alongide his three sisters Dappledkit, Daffodilkit, and Poppykit to the experienced but still fairly young warrior couple of Twist-tail and Snowmane. Snowmane, a large white she-cat with a single patch of orange on her head, had been in the running for the deputy position, but ultimately chose to have a family first. Twist-tail, a black tom with white paws and an unusual curled tail, was not widely popular due to his kittypet mother, but Snowmane looked past that to find a very intelligent and strong-willed tom who would help her raise like-minded children. The two first-time parents had remarked on the oddity of their lone son, but raised him no different.

Patchpaw became an apprentice along with all his siblings, training not just his body but his mind to become a fairly sarcastic but skilled cat. However, the moon before he and his sisters were to be made warriors, a fierce quake shook the earth. His mother, Snowmane, had been out with Dappledpaw, who the white queen had chosen as her sort of successor in their aspirations for deputy, and a rockfall had crushed them. According to the medicine cat, they could possibly have been saved if they had been found earlier, but as it had been, there was nothing to be done. Patchpaw swore a campaign against medicine cats that died out quickly, but to this day he dislikes the position and tries never to visit the den even when he needs to.

A moon later, Patchpaw was named Patchfrost, and Daffodilpaw and Poppypaw were named Daffodilclaw and Poppyjaw. Patchfrost's warriorhood was shaping up to be quite typical, until Mothmaw of MistClan struck out against the established two clans. Heeding the call to a clan that wasn't as weak- no kittypets, no indecision, and every cat with something to do- as Mothmaw claimed the others were, Patchfrost abandoned his life and history in IvyClan, though he was officially disowned by Twist-tail and Daffodilclaw. He remained somewhat closer to Poppyjaw, and tried to encourage her to join him.

Patchfrost has been with MothClan since.

He has something of a rivalry with Firechaser of IvyClan, though it might be more than that- though of course, he'd deny it to hell and back.

Other notes; has kittypet roots in his grandmother, tries not to ever talk about it; pretends he "accidentally" gets flowers in his fur but it's very much on purpose; i will not be buying him male tortie fert, but i am willing to supply a What A Coincidence if he has a male partner; hates medicine cats.
