Picture
A dark red-ginger tom with barely visible tabby striping, Redbird has the look of a regular, if slightly mischievous house cat. His pelt is long-haired and often slightly ruffled because he cannot concentrate long enough to flatten the fur every time it gets mussed, but it’s always impeccably clean, and he carries his tail upright behind him like a banner wherever he goes.
His build is normal, not overly muscular or lanky, and just slightly narrower in the shoulder than in the hips. His legs are long enough to give him decent speed but not long enough that he can catch a squirrel in a headlong dash (he’s tried).

PERSONALITY

Positive Traits: Active, intelligent, knows his limits, enthusiastic
Flaws: Can be irritating, flighty, unfocused, thoughtless
Fears: Willowstar and severely injuring another warrior in battle
Quirks: He speaks incredibly quickly when he’s excited, often to the point where his words are unintelligible. He also has a terrible habit of pacing back and forth when speaking to another cat, and he likes to sit on other cats, particularly Coldstar, in order to wake them in the mornings.
Ideals: What do they value? Hard work and honesty
Overall: On first sight most warriors can easily spot Redbird for what he is – a hyper loudmouth. He’s always on the go, always trying to do something bigger and better than everyone else, and his mouth never stops moving. He’s easily one of the friendliest cats in the Clan and loves everyone and everything about it, but everything he does is so exaggerated that when he’s very excited about something even the most patient of cats can’t quite handle him for long.
He loves pulling pranks on everyone and everything and can never resist smarting off to anyone and everyone when his wit strikes him, no matter if the nearest cat be his friend or an irritable warrior from another Clan. He has an intelligent tongue and an intelligent mind – the only problem is that he doesn’t use the latter when conversing in everyday situations and he gets into trouble more often than not as a result. In fact, several cats consider him to be somewhat of an idiot because of this.
When working in the Clan, Redbird is enthusiastic about his duties for the first five minutes of the morning, give or take a minute, but he quickly loses focus on tedious duties and does a half-hearted job as a result. If given a big task, however, he is completely undaunted and will work for days on end until he is finished.

History:
Kithood
Redkit was a fairly active kit, always keeping his poor young mother on her toes. He was one of two kits in her first litter and it is said that because of him that she never had another, but that may just be spiteful talk from the often-harassed elders. She disappeared shortly before he became an apprentice and is said to have gone to live near Twolegplace, but even he doesn’t know.
Apprenticehood
The day that he was given his mentor, Coldstripe, Redpaw slowly and surely began to drive him insane. It wasn’t as though he was aware of it at the time, but he took pride in running the black and white warrior to the ground each and every day. He had never seen a warrior so glad to get rid of an apprentice as Coldstripe had been the day that he received his new name.
