Thornflame―IvyClan

[Ava]

Thornflame Male 74 moons Demisexual IvyClan Senior Warrior N/A Appearance Though not as large as his fellow clanmates, Thornflame is still able to fight and provide for his clan. He is muscular and broad-shouldered without having an awkward, towering size over everyone else. His fur is sleek and soft, although his chest fur is a bit tufted. Thornflame has mid-length golden brown fur and some faint tabby markings on his face, but not many on his body. His tail is long but not awkwardly so, and it is less groomed than his body. He cares quite a bit for his appearance, although he isn't centered around himself. Thornflame has pale amber eyes. Personality What Thornflame doesn't have in size he makes up for with his personality. He's loud and has strict expectations for his peers, and rarely sugarcoats anything unless he's trying to impress the ladies (which he likes to do from time to time). Thornflame is a bit too careless with his own safety, and always feels the need to be the brave one who saves everyone from danger. Beneath his collected, almost aloof shell, he is caring of the others in his clan, especially for his loved ones, and may favor them from time to time but not overly so. Sometimes he neglects himself, usually during leaf-fall and leaf-bare when prey is scarce and he may nearly starve himself to death because others haven't eaten lately or have eaten less than him. He is very loyal to the clan, and hates MistClan with a passion, along with MothClan although less religiously. Being older than most other warriors, he is wise and has many intriguing stories for younger cats, even if he's not as old as an elder. He is very stubborn when he needs to be, and his unwavering opinions can occasionally be persuaded by the leader, and maybe the deputy if they have enough reason. He is extremely ambitious, as he has been all his life. Even past the prime of his life, he is wanting to be leader. In all honesty, Thornflame wants to be a good cat, even if he may come off as cold or sharp, and overall means well. History As a pure-blooded IvyClan cat, Thornflame was born to two warriors who both wanted kits. He had two brothers and a sister, although one of his brothers was stillborn and his sister died at only a few moons old due to greencough. With only two sons left, their parents grew very protective of them, pampering them. As a kit, Thornflame was incredibly ambitious, wanting to be leader as he does now. When they became apprentices, Thornflame was apprenticed to a she-cat who he looked up to and adored. She taught him everything he now knows. His brother died in battle at the paws of a MistClan warrior and his apprentice, and since then he has been less than friendly with any MistClan cats he stumbles upon.  Other Thornflame enjoys teaching younger cats and wants an apprentice in the near future, as he has missed out on having kits in the prime of his life.
