Age ∙ ∙ 10 moons old
Gender ∙ Male
Residing ∙ On the edge of Twoleg place in Thunder Clan territory
Character Type ∙ Loner (For now)
Mindset
Overall Personality ∙ Black is not very trusting of most cats because his mother taught him not to trust. He is afraid of getting to close to others. He doesn't want to disappoint or fail anyone. As a result when he thinks he is getting to close to another he starts to push them away with anger and disinterest. As a result he lives by himself and the few cats he has interacted with stay away from him.
He jumps to conclusions a lot and makes judgments about cats the moment he meets them, although he doesn't say it out loud. He knows a little bit about the clans and tries to avoid them to the best of his ability because he believes they'll try to make him leave the place he has come to think of as his home. He also hates Towlegs because some of the ones he lives near keep trying to take him home and turn him into a kittypet. He hates it when other cats show up and turn out to be better than him at surviving in the forest. He also hates it when others try to help take care of him.
Additional Tidbits ∙ He will take any challenge layed before him.
Reflection
Height ∙ 9 inches
Overall Appearance ∙ Black has thin black fur with no other colors. His eyes are a dark yellow. He doesn't really care much for cleaning himself so his fur is always ungroomed. His claws are white and kept sharp for defending himself or anything he considers to be his. Because he doesn't worry about staying clean his fur has mud, leaves, twigs and thorns in many places.
He has a few small scars of no real significance, although he claims that the few visible ones are from fighting vicious predators. His ragged pelt and dark fur color help blend into his surroundings when he hunts at night. He usually has a look of annoyance on his face , but when he is alone or with a cat he trusts he will smile. The constantly annoyed expression and the wild look of his fur is usually enough to send most kittypets running. Although he doesn't like to look clean and well taken care of it's actually a much better look for him.
Backstory
Family History ∙
Family ∙ Heart, mother Zeke and Bella, siblings
Birthplace ∙ He was born in a Twoleg home near River Clan's territory
Background ∙ Black was born as a kittypet. He was raised with out his father who was a loner who left his mother before Black and his siblings were born. His mother felt betrayed and soon turned bitter to the world. She taught her children not to trust other cats or even the Twolegs that took care of them. Black was the only child of hers that took her words to seriously and he grew distrustful of his kin. One night when he was four moons old, Black ran away from his family and began to wander Twoleg place searching for a new home.
Black learned to take care of himself as he wandered. He taught himself how to hunt, and fight, but he wasn't exceptional at either. The one skill he did aquire that he used more than the others though was to avoid contact with other cats. As good as he was at this though he couldn't avoid the world forever. He eventually met a she cat that was about his age. Her name was a kittypet named Pepper. She was the first friend he ever made. In the beginning he didn't trust her of course, but as time went by he grew more comfortable around her. They were almost always playing together. After a while, when he became seven moons old, though Black realized how close they had become and got scared of disappointing her. So that night he left to explore deeper into Twoleg place.
As he got further into Twoleg place the dangers grew worse. He had little fighting skill wasn't anything to brag about, so he had to search for food at night when he could blend in better. Then he met another cat. An older tom who, much to Blacks displeasure, took pity on him and started trying to show Black how to survive on his own. The other cat shared Black's beliefs on trust and agreed that they would not share their names with each other. Black would never admit it, but he payed careful attention to everything he was shown by the older cat. After only one moon though Black thought he might once again be growing to close to his mentor. Once again in the dead of night he left, but this time he was heading towards the forest away from where his kin lived.
He interacted with cats more now, but never stayed in one group for more than a day. Eventually he found a hole under a tree where he mane his official home. He keeps the opening covered under leaves when he goes to get food. He heard about the clans living nearby and decided he should avoid incase they decide to chase him off of their territory. He has had near encounters with a few patrols now and then, but remains undetected as far as he knows. Due to his lack of skill as a hunter he doesn't get to eat everyday. As time passed he began to look less like a kittypet everyday. Something he prides himself on. He now lives quite comfortably on the edge of Clan territory evading other cats as much as possible.
