Scorchstripe of Stormclan

[scorched]

Name: Scorchstripe

Age: 26 moons

Clan: Stormclan

Rank: warrior

Gender: she-cat

Personality: Scorchstripe is a kindly meant she-cat, though she is aptly named. She says what comes to her mind whether is is gentle or not; she rarely thinks things over before saying them. What you see is what you get with her and her philosophy never changes and never will. Scorchstripe has a sarcastic sense of humor and never fails to give a comment on almost everything she finds humorous or annoying. It isn't that she talks excessively, Scorchstripe isn't fond of cats who talk 24/7 and has a tendency to get tired real quick of them and leave without an explanation. She often acts like she doesn't care, but under that protective tough-girl look is someone who just really wants a good friend, someone who will listen instead of dismissing her as irrevelant. Scorchstripe holds respect for only the highly ranked cats in her clan and no others. She puts up with elders, but knows from experience that she will lose her temper around them and tries to stay out of their way. Her temper isn't what you might think for someone with her personality. When she gets pissed, she usually gets quiet and her breath will come quickly. Scorchstripe will often try and leave but if someone talks to her and she's mad, she'll usually snap or lash out with words and hopefully not fangs or claws.

Description: Scorchstripe is a lithe she-cat with long limbs and a long tail that helps to balance her when running or hunting. She loves to hunt and it's her favorite activity because of how easily she can jump. Her long legs are exceptional for leaping and pouncing and she is lean rather than muscular. Her ribs just press against her fur. Her fur is short and doesn't get stuck on every other branch. Her pelt is a pretty dark ginger that represents her short temper and sharp personality. Her eyes are the color of amber, constantly flashing with sarcastic humor or irritated anger. "Eyes are windows to the soul" and this is very true with Scorchstripe, who's eyes show her every emotion. And if her eyes don't tell what she's thinking, her mouth definitely will. Long white whiskers protrude from furry cheeks, the left of which is scarred and still healing from a vicious fight with badgers. Another scar from that battle stretches down her right haunch, but has healed better than the one on her cheek and fur has nearly covered it.

History: Scorchstripe was born to a kind and gentle mother who was well known and liked by all of the clans. Her mother was kind to all and helped out with all of the kits. She had a true blessing to be the only one recieving attention from such a loving parent. The only problem was that no one knew who the father was. While her mother loved her deeply and was especially devoted to her only kit, others were suspicious and it took time for her to earn her clan's respect and trust. As an apprentice, she worked hard to become the perfect pupil for her older mentor who wasn't the best mentor, thanks to his sharp temper and abusive behavior. She came to hate him and worked as hard as ever to surprise and defeat her mentor. It was a goal she worked hard for and was helped by her mentor's friend who understood what she was going through and helped out whenever needed. When she did defeat him in a mock-fight, Scorchpaw was happier than ever. It took awhile for her to adjust to her clan, but Scorchpaw did it and was proud to become a Stormclan warrior after a battle against a family of badgers and defeating and drivnig them from their territory, she was given her name in the sight of Starclan. It was that day that her mother revealed who her father was and Scorchstripe found out that it was her mentor's best friend who had been helping her constantly to keep her from becoming discouraged.
