Physical description:
Swifttalon is larger than the average cat. He averages at 1.5 ft tall when he is standing on all fours, 3.11 ft in length from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. He weighs in at a whopping 16 pounds and he doesn’t have an ounce of body fat. He has deep, piercing oceanic blue eyes that often seem as if they are looking right through you. He is a light orange. In fact his pelt is so light that other felines often thought it was yellow. His pelt is covered in light grey and dark orange stripes that are short and placed in random parts on his body. He is white from the middle of his throat the the base of his tail on his belly. It starts at a point right on his jugular and fans out to cover his belly. On his front paws a thin strip of white drops down and then fans out once again to cover his paws. He has a black tip on his tail.
He has two scars that are from before his current housing at Shadowclan. One is a jagged dagger shaped scar is set on the left side of his face, running down at a 45 degree angle across his entire left cheek. The second is a straight scar on the outside of his left hind leg. It is about 2 inches wide and 5-7 inches long and runs at a 63 degree angle. He also has a black marking behind his right ear that looks like a six pointed star.
My Insanity:
Preference: Straight
Personality: Swifttalon could be described as a Healer Idealist. He is abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in striving to meet his ends, and investigative and attentive in his personal relations. He’s seemingly tranquil and a noticeably pleasant face to the world, though to all appearances he seems reserves, even shy, but on the inside he is anything but that. Having the capacity for caring, not always found in other personality types, he cares deeply - indeed passionately - about the few special persons or a favorite cause, and his fervent aim is to bring peace and integrity to his loved one and to the world.
He has a profound sense of idealism, derived from his strong personal morality. He conceives the world as an ethical and honorable place. Indeed, to understand the inner workings of his mind you must also understand his idealism as practically boundless and even selfless, which inspires him to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something he believes in. Though often times his idealistic ways make him feel isolated from the rest of his kind. He dreams of creating harmonious, even caring personal relations, and has a unique talent for helping others get along with each other and work together for the good of all. Such interpersonal harmony might be a romantic ideal, but then he is an incurable romantic who prefers to focus on what might be, rather than what is. The real, practical world is only a starting place for him; he believes that life is filled with possibilities waiting to be realized, rich with meanings calling out to be understood. This idea of a mystical or spiritual dimension to life, the "not visible" or the "not yet" that can only be known through intuition or by a leap of faith, is far more important to him than the world of material things.
While all these idealistic tendencies are swirling in his head, Swifttalon’s heart is one of pure gold. He is a kindhearted soul, and because of this may sometimes come off as perhaps weak emotionally, though he guards this by putting up his very prim and proper façade. He will usually come off as a tad bit stuck up to those who are first meeting him, indeed he may even seem quite rude, but his intentions are pure to those who know him well and who he’s even warmed up to enough to show his more playful and fun side. More often, however, he is the very soul of kindness. Particularly, in his personal relationships, he is, without question, filled with love and good intentions. He believes in giving of himself to help others; and he cherishes a few warm, sensitive friendships.
This all holds to his strict standard of personal integrity. He must be true to himself and others, for otherwise he will become stressed out and quite hard on himself when dishonest, false, or indiscreet.
Conflict and confrontation upset him because he seems to put up angry barriers between people. He’s by no means easily upset though, it will take much more than a blow to him to set him off the loop and turn the mild mannered cat into a violent brute. Indeed if one does wish to see his more beastly side, they ought to put one of his closest friends, even clanmates, in danger. He will protect friends righteously and almost in a Prince Charming sort of way, as indeed Healer Idealists can easily be described as the fairytale Prince type.
Healers can come to develop a certain fascination with the problem of good and evil, sacred and profane. Swifttalon is drawn toward purity, but he can become engrossed with the profane, continuously on the lookout for the wickedness that lurks within him. Then, when he believes he has yielded to an impure temptation, he often searches for acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. Others seldom detect his inner turmoil, however, for the struggle between good and evil is within him, and he does not feel compelled to make the issue public. This leads him to prefer to not speak of his past. He lived a very fantasy-filled childhood, which, unfortunately, was discouraged and punished by his parents. His family rather practical-minded, required his parents to be sociable and industrious in more concrete ways than his abstract mind gives. Because of this he saw himself as an ugly duckling type, unable to shrug off his parent’s expectation he would seek to please parents and even other pack mates. He didn’t know quite how to go about this and thus hid his differences - and still hides them to an extent.
If he does open up to a close friend about his past, it is because he is empathetic and can relate to their own troubles. He will gladly take the sorrow of a friend onto his own shoulders and bear their burden for them, however he will lock his own problems away, preferring not to discuss or bring them up with anyone, afraid to share the burden upon himself. This sometimes causes trouble between friends that may truly care for him, as they might be bothered by the fact that he refuses to talk about his own feelings, which ties back up with his sometimes stuck-up seeming ways.
Swifttalon sometimes wonders if he is okay, if his mind is not - like his father Dimitri’s was - lost somewhere and unable to be saved. This thought was again, brought up by his family and their punishment of his fantasies and wish for the world to be full of purity.
Quirks: Unlike the other cats in his clan he has a knack for swimming and, when there is nothing to do; he will often go into Riverclan’s territory to swim.
Strengths: Can heal some illnesses and wounds without plants making him a very exceptional medicine cat.
Weaknesses: Cares about others too easily.
Likes: He enjoys his position as Medicine Cat. He loves healing others and helping them even if he doesn’t like caring about them. He feels as if he’s accomplished something by helping them.
Dislikes: He dislikes caring about others. The way he sees it if you care about someone you’re only going to get hurt but if you don’t care then nothing matters
Fears: He fears that his mind will end up lost and unable to be saved. The only other thing he fears is fear and hate.
Goals/Ambitions: To find his family
