[tr][td][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,padding-top: 10px;][classy=title]appearance[/classy][classy=text]a brown tabby tom with hazel eyes.
To start out off, Reedpaw has brown fur—shades ranging from dark chocolate to almost tan—with tabby markings all along his pelt. The lighter colors of his fur seem to run more under his stomach, as well as his feet and a small patch on the lower part of his jaw. His head, his back, the upper part of his legs, and his tail are all covered in the fur that is darker. The majority of the tom cat’s nose is a pinkish-red, though the outside edge of it is black. His eyes are large and are colored hazel; most of the eye is brown, while there is that small greenish color that is mixed with the brown around the edges.
Even though Reedpaw is an apprentice, he is just moons away from becoming a warrior and because of this, he is the same size of the warriors in the clan. Thick muscles line his legs giving him fast speed. His paw pads are soft since there is never anything rough that he has to walk on and his feet are always on the grass. Reedpaw was born with a long tail that’s just a hint longer than the size of the average cat. Part of Reedpaw's left ear is missing from a run-in that he had with rouges when he was younger, but besides that, there are no notable scars.

[classy=title]personality[/classy][classy=text]
insensitive | Reedpaw just doesn't understand feelings and how others can have such useless things trapping them down. The apprentice always says whatever is on his mind, no matter how hurtful, because he doesn't see why people hate the pain it causes them. To him, pain brings pleasure, and it's hard for him to grasp the fact that other cats are different from him. Even if he could understand what the others felt like, he likes to think that he still wouldn’t care and that’s it’s best to say what’s on your mind. If you have something to say, you should always say it no matter the damage it can cause. If you don’t care about things and you’re indifferent to them, life is much better.
arrogant | The tom thinks that he is the best, better than all of his clanmates, and better than every other warrior in the forest. He thinks that his skills are greater than that of everyone else and that there is never going to be anyone that can surpass him. He thinks that his fighting skills are the greatest and that he could kill anyone or anything that he wanted to. Reedpaw just thinks that he is great in general. Thinking highly of himself is one of the things that makes him not care about others. He doesn’t think he should have to drop his standards to be friends with someone. Reedpaw thinks that he if ever makes any friend, then they’re going to have to surpass his level of greatness, but with his way of thinking, that is an implausible feat.
masochistic | Pain. Instead of it making him falter, it pushes him forward, making him enjoy life rather than loathe it. Whether it be mental or emotional, Reedpaw is happy with any kind of pain that anyone throws at him. It's this feeling that allows him to live and enjoy his life rather than mope around hating it. Sure, some bad things were tossed his way, but why should he have to dwell in them? He’ll laugh in the faces of anyone who feels sorry for him. He feels that no one should feel sorry for anyone or themselves, just play the card your dealt and go on with your life.
sadistic | The pain of others around him is also enjoy in his eyes. Any sort of pain keeps Reedpaw entertained. When hunting, he likes to see his prey suffer. He enjoys knowing that he has power over something that is smaller and weaker than he is. Battling is another thing that he gets much enjoyment out of. He fights to kill and that’s his plan unless he first is the one to get killed or someone pulls him off.
distant | No one comes close to Reedpaw's heart. He has made sure of this. He doesn't let people get close just to leave him. If people begin to get to close, he'll just start to completely blow them off to the point where they just stop trying. The fact that he has had nothing permanent in his life makes him feel like if he can let nothing affect him, then he can be indestructible and never have a moment of weakness. He thinks that caring about others is a weakness, so that’s why he doesn’t want any friends. He wants to live his life without ever having to care, because when he doesn’t have to care, he won’t ever be disappointed when others don't live up to what he expected them to be.[/classy]
[classy=title]history[/classy][classy=text]Rabbitfoot had everything that any Clan cat could've wanted; strength, speed, a beautiful mate. It wasn't enough for him, though. He felt like there was something big missing in his life. It was then that he met her. Her name was Cloud, a rouge who just so happened to be passing through the territory. It was love at first sight and that missing piece in Rabbitfoot's life was gone.
Then, both his mate in the Clan, Robinclaw, and Cloud were pregnant. Robinclaw had all the attention from the Clan, so Rabbitfoot was able to sneak out often, unnoticed. Or so he thought. Robinclaw noticed the tom leave every open moment there was. When she questioned him about it, he didn't even attempt to lie. He told her the whole truth about Cloud and his other life, leaving nothing out.
The day then came that Cloud gave birth to her kits, and Rabbitfoot didn't know what to do. Cloud needed to get off of the territory, other cats were beginning to pick up on her scent, but, with four newborn kits, it was hard to travel. So, Rabbitfoot led Robinclaw to Cloud and asked her to help him out. That is when everything fell into place. Robinclaw went into labor and had just one tiny she-kit, Squirrelkit. Robinclaw agreed to help Cloud and took the three tom kits, Reedkit, Larchkit, and Buzzardkit, back to the Clan, while Cloud kept the only she-kit, Snow, with her.
When the two cats came back to camp with the four newborn kits, they told everyone that Robinclaw went into labor when out in the forest and bared four healthy kits. Everyone believed the lie and went on with daily life. Until one day, Rabbitfoot disappeared with Larchkit and Buzzardkit. Robinclaw was left alone with her own kit and one kit that belonged to the horrid rouge that stole away her love, Reedkit.
Reedkit was sickly and small and everyone thought he was going to die, but surprise came when Robinclaw and Squirrelkit developed a severe case of greencough that neither one of them survived. Reedkit wasn't sad about their deaths, though. He thought that the two she-cat's deserved it. Every time that Robinclaw looked at Reedkit, he could see the disgust in her eyes, but when she looked at Squirrelkit, he could only see love. So, when they were gone, he thought that they got what was coming for them.
The day then came where Reedkit became an apprentice. He was assigned a nice warrior in the Clan and all was going well with his training. He was exactly where he was supposed to be. Then everything turned sour. Him and his mentor as well as another apprentice and warrior were ambushed by a gang of rouges. Reedpaw's mentor was wounded badly and lost too much blood and his life ended there on that ground. Reedpaw lost part of his left ear and was otherwise mostly lucky.
Now the tom was mentorless and he realized how pathetic he felt. Everything around him was terrible. He didn't have a mother or a father, no siblings to play with and no friends, as well as no current mentor. Somehow, though, he found enjoyment in this pain that he was feeling. Nothing had ever gone his way, but he found the pain to be pleasurable. Not only that, he found everyone's pain to be something that fueled him to move forward.
And then, one day, he came upon a white she-cat in the woods, and she claimed to be his sister. The she-cat said her name was Snow, and that Rabbitfoot ran away from the Clan to be with their mother, Cloud. Reedpaw knew he had been abandoned. His 'mother', Robinclaw, hadn't really been his mother at all, just some she-cat that his father was using. That was why she always stared at him with such hate. And his real mother had left him in the Clan. His father, too. But why only him? Even finding out all this, he was still glad. He was glad that had happened. Reedpaw found happiness from the fact he had been abandoned all alone in the Clan, and he was glad he didn't have to deal with the burden of a family. So, he turned his back on Snow and slowly walked away. The apprentice wasn't going to let anyone or anything get in his way, not when he knew they were just throw him out like trash when they were done with him.
