APPEARANCE

Body Type: Thick but Average
Fur: Grey and White
Eyes: Green
Markings: White smudge on nose, white chest, and all paws and his tail have white tips.
Overall: Smokestorm is a mostly gray tom with white tips, nose and chest. His gray fur is a solid color all the way through and resembles smoke as much as the white of his fur resembles the steam inside of smoke. His nose is also a dark gray color with the slightest pinkish tint, his paw pads are of a similar color. His fur is short and lays flat allowing one to see his real size quite easily, even when puffing out his fur. His proportions are almost as average as a cat could get, not too tall, short, fat, nor skinny. The only thing that really distinguishes him is that he is somewhat thick. He surprises others with his weight for his size because he has a good bit of mussel on his otherwise dreadfully normal body. He has a thin layer of fat over his mussels which allows them to not be as noticeable. Not to mention that he isn't the sort who has lighter but more puffed out mussels but rather has very compact heavy mussels. In other words he really isn't any stronger then any other strong cat, but he has more of an element of surprise to him because his size would not tell of his mussels. As for his face, well it can't be described as pretty. A dot of white on his left upper lip makes his whole face appear lopsided unless viewed from his right side. His white whiskers are extremely noticeable against his gray face and makes him appear to have white lines running out from his nose. Though he isn't quite ugly, he is very plain and not much fun to look at. That is in exception to his brilliant green eyes which seem to mirror the leaves of the forest perfectly in Green Leaf.

PERSONALITY

Positive Traits:

-Outgoing: Smokestorm is a cat that loves to meet new cats and be with other cats. He will go far out of his way just to have a bit of company and loves to know that others are paying attention to him and know he exists. it allows him to feel as if he matters to the world.
-Helpful: Smokestorm is the sort who will also go out of their way to help others. He loves fixing problems and being well liked by those he helps. He would even want others to wake him up right in the middle of his favorite dream so that he could help them with a problem, big or small, that was important to them.
-Friendly: Smokestorm loves to have a lot of friends and since he isn't stupid he knows the best way to have a lot of friends is to just be friendly. He likes to make friends and keep them and this allows him to have strong bonds in his clan which keeps him a slight bit safer in battles.
-Cheerful: Smokestorm almost always has a smile on his face. He is a very happy-go-lucky sort of cat who would likely smile even when upset just so that others around him wouldn't become upset as well. In a situation where everyone is already upset though he would likely be able to show a sorrowful face as well.
-Brave: There is a big difference between being brave, and being ignorant. Being ignorant is to rush into something that you don't know much about but feel as if you can conquer it anyways. To be brave is to know that the situation is a tough one which you will likely not be strong enough to make it through, but you still try rather then give up and hide. Smokestorm is the latter. He isn't a naive kit who doesn't know the dangers of things, yet he'll still do things many wouldn't do if they knew the risks while fully well knowing them himself. If he knows something is just too big for him though he won't charge in stupidly, he'll get help or try to think of a way to get around it. That is of course unless his friend is in danger in which case he would do any stupid thing he could to save them.
-Strong: This of course is a more simple trait to explain. Smokestorm is a strong cat, therefore he is a good fighter and the fact that he is only averaged sized while still having very strong mussels for his size gives him an element of surprise which is helpful.

Flaws:

-Speaks His Mind: Smokestorm can be bluntly truthful or straight forward and will speak his mind when he thinks something is funny, wrong, or that there is a better way. This can get him in trouble with his elders and superiors if he isn't careful, and when it comes to watching his tongue, he isn't very careful.
-Self Assured: Smokestorm is, unfortunately, a bit hot headed. He is sure that he can get anyone to like him and be his friend and often times even thinks that he could get any she-cat he cared for. Luckily he doesn't get crushes often and most of the time people do just tend to like him. As for those who don't like him he will take it as a challenge and just keep trying to be there friend until they find some way to distract him or until they act as if they like him long enough for him to leave them alone and forget about the challenge of befriending them.
-Too Friendly With Everyone: Along with being friendly to his own clan mates, Smokestorm is dangerously friendly with other cats. Though he would never betray his clan, he would never hurt his friends either.
-Loyal to All Friends: Along with the above one, Smokestorm is loyal to all of his friends, even above his clan. He would never be able to hurt his friends so therefore when he is in battle he will attack cats he doesn't know and leave his friends to be fought by his clan mates. If one of his friends were to attack him first he would attack back because by attacking he feels they have broken there friendship anyways. At the same time if he saw one of his clan mates about to kill a friend of his he would call to his clan mate for help hoping his friend could escape during the distraction.
-Slow: Along with his tightly packed in mussels comes a hard time with moving his legs quickly. He can lope for hours on end and not get too worn out, but if he has to run he can't keep up with some of his faster clan mates who are used to sprinting rather then pacing themselves.

Fears:

-Harming His Friends: Smokestorm has a fear that one day he'll have to choose between saving a friend or saving his clan. He hates to think of such a day because he could never choose in time to save either.
-Falling in Love: Or more specifically, falling in love with a cat from another clan. He believes in soul mates and fears that his might not have been born into his clan. He could bare trying to choose between his soul mate and his clan, it would tear his own soul apart.

Quirks:

-Loves Rain Storms: Unlike most cats Smokestorm loves the rain and he loves the way lightning causes his whiskers to quiver from the static electricity in the air. He loves letting the warm rains especially soak into his fur as he lopes through the trees at a slow and steady pace. It comforts him and calms him.
-Enjoys a challenge: Smokestorm loves being challenged by something. He'll do almost anything to acomplish something that seems challenging to him.

Ideals:

-Family: Smokestorm believes that one of the jobs of every clan cat is to have a family to help their clan survive. He also thinks that most everyone needs a family to teach them new lessons they'll need to thrive in life. He respects the choices of others, especially medicine cats, not to have a family if they are not in love or have other responsibilities, but he wishes for them to still find family in their clan mates and learn to love.
-Understanding: Smokestorm feels that nothing can work out in life unless there is a good foundation of understanding. He'll often ask many questions to make sure he fully understands something before doing anything about it.

Overall: Overall Smokestorm is the sort almost anyone can get along with and who strives to get along with everyone. He is a bit of a goof ball but is loving and sweet to all of his friends, even if he is a little hot headed. He has a big heart for others and loves to go out of his way to meet, help, and befriend others. He isn't your normal clan cat, despite what his appearances would try to tell you, yet he is still normal enough to fit in well.

HISTORY

Family:

-Mother: Mistbreeze-Missing
-Father: Slatefur-Alive
-Brother: Sootpaw- Dead

History:
Smokestorm was born to his parents Mistbreeze and Slatefur who were overjoyed at their first litter of kits, even though it consisted of only him and his brother. He was named Smokekit for his gray and white fur, which was lighter while he was younger, and his brother was named Sootkit for his pure gray pelt which was a bit darker then Smokekit's. His time as a kit was rather unremarkable. He grew as well as most kits, a little better perhaps, but not noticeably so.

At the normal age of six moons, Smokekit and his brother both became apprentices. Smokepaw's mentor was to be their father and Sootpaw's their mother. Though it seemed unusual it was because neither parent had had an apprentice before. It was also because there were worries about Sootpaw's ability to become a warrior because unlike his brother Sootpaw had not been growing well, much less well muscled. No one was willing to mentor him besides his mother, many thought he should be scent to spend his days with the elders. In the midst of all of this Smokepaw was generally overlooked. His mentor was his father because his father was known as a good warrior and they were all confident he would train his son just fine.

As the moons ent on Smokepaw coped with the fuss over his brother by making friends with everyone so that he could have attention too. he was growing quite well and is father was quickly realizing the hidden strength he had. His little brother however was not fairing as well. He wasn't growing much anymore now that he was off his mother's milk and training as well. He wasn't progressing in that training and he made frequent visits to the medicine cat.

One day after their mother had trained Sootpaw a little too hard, trying to prove to another mentor who had been harassing her that her son was doing fine, Sootpaw was taken to the medicine cats once more to never emerge again. His weak body had gotten sick in the heat of Leaf Green while training so hard and he wasn't able to survive the dehydration long enough for his weak body to become re-hydrated. It didn't help that he complained he was too nauseous to eat anything anyways.

Sootpaw died that night after having fallen into a fitful sleep he didn't wake from. As far as the medicine cat could tell he had died painlessly, a death that would never have been available to him as a warrior where he, with his weak body, would doubtlessly have died in his first battle. Mistbreeze couldn't handle such news. She ran off into the forest and didn't come back for the length of the night. Slatefur worried about her, but decided she needed time on her own. As for Smokepaw, he wasn't sure what to think. He had never been too close to his brother, but he had loved him all the same and couldn't believe he was suddenly gone.

When another night passed without the return of Smokepaw's mother, his father set out with a group of other cats to try and find her. they tracked her scent, but lost it once it left Thunderclan territory and drown itself out in the river. whether she had drowned, passed on into Riverclan territory, or been carried away by the river to someplace else was never known as her body was never found, nor did she ever return. Smokepaw told himself his mother must have grown to hate her clan and had only stayed there for the good of her favorite son. Now she was somewhere she was happier. That was what he told himself, but no one really knows if he is right or not.

Smokepaw, after a day of grieving with his father, got back to the business of his training with a heavy, but still strong, heart. he trained hard in memory of his brother and in the hopes that his mother would come back some day to see he had become a strong warrior. He became Smokestorm on his 13th moon, his training being held out a bit longer due to the many days his father had been too overcome with sorrow to train him. Smokestorm has proved himself many times to be a strong warrior since becoming a warrior.

His first time proving himself to be a very good warrior being at the Failed attempt to take the river into their territory 15 moons ago. He had wanted the river more badly then any other cat in the clan because he wanted it for the memory of his mother as much as for food. Though they lost he fought bravely and proved he could be trusted by his clan, though he was lucky that no one noticed the small gray Riverclan cat he let escape him because they had become friends.

Though his life hasn't been amazing or hard, Smokestorm still thinks his own past is a bit interesting and tends to wonder if some day he will be able to tell his mother that he did it. He became a strong warrior, for her, and for his little brother.
