gizzardfang - 27 m - male

[levi]

gizzardfang male 27 moons bisexual , female preference mothclan warrior faceclaim Appearance gizzardfang is a seal siamese tom cat. his face, legs, ears, and tail are a seal color, a blackish brown. his siamese points take up much more of his pelt than most cats with his pelt pattern. even the white on his torso is littered with dark brown hairs, and he has a rather musty and dark tone to his fur overall. his pelt is thick and slightly frizzy, and he sheds often. it seems no matter where he goes, a trail of black and white hair can be found in his wake. he's rather short and stocky for a male, often he's shorter than most females. he isn't particularly bulky, but his body is a bit more dense than most. the tom's eyes are a vibrant blue, large and round. the whites of his eyes are often visible, and his bright red skin is visible ringing his eyes- both of which make them appear larger and draw more attention to them. his baby blue eyes are slightly crossed, and almost constantly turned upward as he struggles to keep larger cats in his vision. his ears are tall, and his eyes take up the majority of his face. his chin is small and his jaw dainty. his whiskers are short and frazzled. the tom's pelt is littered with small scars, most noticeable on his limbs and face where chunks of dark brown hair are missing, unable to grow atop the scar tissue. he walks like a cat three times his size, confident and cocky, very macho.   Personality - discreet  as a child, gizzardfang's parents were separated, overbearing, and invasive. as such, he very quickly learned more deceptive behaviors, such as his infamous poker face, lying, and manipulation. though he isn't a terribly manipulative cat, he's very skilled at keeping what's going on inside his mind, inside his mind. not often will you be able to break his constant veil of cold calmness or peek into the many secrets he has to hide. - guarded  if one is skilled at seeing beyond a cat's original appearance, they could spot this rather quickly. some may mistake this for confidence, but even his confidence is derived from a need to protect himself. when looking closer at gizzardfang, his posture and cold expression portray a cat with every possible defense up. he is incredibly reluctant to let others in- not shy, but cautious. he will associate with other cats, but rarely betray emotion and allow them to see inside. + calm  gizzardfang is a very strongly opinionated cat, he isn't exactly level headed and does enjoy making his stance strong, but he will lurk behind a solid poker face and smooth, low voice for a long time before making his opinion totally clear. he isn't naturally level-headed- no, this calm and collected exterior is a result of his desire to know each and every variable of the equation before making a decision. however, from the outside, he may appear as just a very collected and relaxed tom, open to other's opinions. in moments of chaos, he's the eye in the storm- calm and collected. + confident  gizzardfang's confidence is a direct result of his desire to protect himself. he walks as a cat three times his size, bold, shoulders squared, and strong. he refuses to let anyone see a spot of weakness. as he's grown, his confidence manifested into an arrogance, an inability to question his own actions. though he healthily trust in himself, he can't exactly consider how his actions may be affecting others. this may simultaneously be his best and worst quality- he trusts in himself strongly, but doesn't take the time to question the feelings of others. History gizzardfang grew up with separated parents in the newly formed mothclan. they could often be seen arguing, a peaceful moment very rarely found between them and their only child. gizzardfang was a hard pregnancy for grousefeather, and around this time is when she and gizzardfang's father split publicly. prior to her first successful birth, she went through a very rough time as she failed to deliver a litter to full stage. this news spread very quickly, as grousefeather was devastated. she alluded to the medicine cat, some queens in the nursery, and a few of hers and her mate's friends that she had one or multiple failed litters before this. she remained in the nursery for a moon or so to recover, returned to her duties thereafter, and within a few more moons was pregnant with gizzardfang. there were many scares for her when she was carrying him. at first, she didn't want to retire to the nursery and get anyone's hopes up before her and the medicine cat were certain this litter would be successful. during a patrol, she had a scare in which she almost lost gizzardfang. this pushed her into moving to the nursery so she could relax her body and make sure her litter was safe. a few times after, the medicine cat seemed doubtful if the litter would be a success as she sensed such little movement from grousefeather's belly. when grousefeather openly separated from her mate at the time, the stress caused a few more issues for her. however, as she began to recover from the break up, her stress level dropped quickly without the constant fighting, and things were looking up. they soon discovered why there was such little movement from her pregnant belly- she wasn't having a litter but only a single kitten. she recounted how terrible her kitten smelled when he was first birthed, and in a moment of shared joy between her and the medicine cat at the successful birth, she comically named her first child gizzardkit, after the most foul smelling innard of the grouse, the creature which she herself was named after. the grouse was her father's favorite meal, she recalled, very hard to catch, and it had a nasty pouch in it's belly called the gizzard, that stunk to high heavens. she loved her son dearly, and often bragged to others how sweet and well behaved he was. he looked like his father, with large, beautiful blue eyes, but she didn't mind. she believed he was the sweetest and most innocent thing alive. her overbearing nature and the constant arguing between the separated parents would soon corrupt this innocent child. at about a moon and a half, gizzardfang's mother took notice to his crossed eyes. the medicine cat examined him but quickly concluded it shouldn't be an issue- he could still become a skilled warrior and could seemingly see just fine. she warned grousefeather to come see her immediately if her child began to suffer from recurring headaches, as this could be a sign that his vision was doubled or that he couldn't see properly. grousefeather began to hover over her kitten. he was likely the only child she would ever have, and after her previous failed pregnancies, she was devastated that there might be something wrong with him. she would rush him to the medicine den at the slightest sign of something wrong. if gizzardkit tripped or stumbled or ran into something, it was off to the medicine den. if he had a headache for any number of reasons, grousefeather would be sent into hysterics. if he didn't demonstrate exceptional health during exams, grousefeather would fuss and yowl and curse until he was examined over and over dozen of times. the arguing that gizzardkit was usually shielded from by his mother grew more and more intense. it had stopped after their breakup, but started up again soon after the birth. grousefeather wanted to keep gizzardkit from his father and baby him constantly, while his father wanted to see his child and didn't offer the kit any sympathy, wanting him to be a strong and powerful warrior. it was becoming increasingly difficult for grousefeather to hide gizzardkit from the fighting and from his father. the more time gizzardkit spent around his father, the more he grew to hate him. he learned to run to his mother and whine, and he would be kept from his father for days, and when his mother's overbearing and obsessive nature drove him to anger, he would run to his fighter of a father and claim he wanted to be learn how to be a strong warrior. he would repeat this process very often, it would usual culminate into a huge fight between his parents, then things would eventually return to the usual cycle. this process damaged him immensely, but he learned to blame his parents completely, and grew rebellious against his mother. he learned to lie to avoid her invasive nature, learned to play each parent's side to get what he wanted. once he was out of the nursery, young gizzardpaw distanced himself completely from both his parents. he dropped any sense of respect he pretended to have for either of them, and quickly took to the independence of being an apprentice. he fought against his mentor often, he was very opinionated and questioned the world around him. his mentor encouraged him to explore the world around him however, she was was of the initial cats who left her clan to join mothclan, and though she didn't take any disrespect, she was very rebellious herself in her younger days. after gizzardpaw was named gizzardfang, she retired, though he kept in mind her strength even in her later days and her refusal to retire for so long. she was a good influence on him, but had been old while training him, and now he lacked any sort of role model or moral compass. all he knew was his skill in battle, and how to get what he wanted. at 23 moons, 17 moons after he had initially ceased speaking to either his mother or his father, grousefeather was diagnosed with a terminal sickness. the medicine cat assumed she had contracted some incurable disease- in actually she was suffering from ovarian cancer. when she was told she wouldn't get better and would die soon, she tried even harder to get back on good terms with her son. after days of her begging, he finally allowed her the time of day and listened to what it was she had to say.  his calm demeanor didn't drop as he received the news, but he began to spend more time with her and catch up after not speaking for over a year. within two moons, grousefeather passed. gizzardfang didn't express much sorrow, and mourned quietly, he expressed some rage towards his estranged father, but soon returned to normal.  as he grows older, he struggles to really fit in anywhere, and isn't really sure what he wishes to do with his life. the loss of his mother still lingers after two moons, though he doesn't express much emotion currently.   Other Anything else that doesn't go elsewhere on the form - e.g. items used, future plans for your character, etc.
