Name: Swiftriver
Age: 24 Moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: StoneClan
Rank: Warrior
Appearance: Swiftriver lives up to his name in many ways, his appearance is just one of the few. His pelt is a silky black yet not all that long, not one other marking breaks through his dark pelt. Swiftriver's claws and teeth stand out upon the dark pelt, both long and pearly white, so long in fact his claws would clack upon the stone of his territory when unsheathed.
Swiftriver's eyes are deep pools of icy blue except that they seem to get darker the closer the get to his pupils, giving them a wavy look. As for the swift part of his name there is his lean and light weight build. He is a quick runner and a marvelous hunter, many are larger than him though. In fact Swiftriver is probably the size of a normal apprentice getting close to the end of their training.
Personality: Swiftriver is a goodhearted cat usually, at times he can be impatient though, always ready to get moving with his boundless energy. Many find him an easy friend and he is well liked among the Clan, around other Clans however Swiftriver tends to be suspicious of their motives and quick to defend his own Clan. Around apprentices however Swiftriver is rather stern and strict in his teachings. Though unlike fellow warriors his patience seems to be much longer though he seems to know when an apprentice is slacking off and don't deserve his patience.
In battle Swiftriver uses his high intelligence and cunning to outwit cats of a larger size. This is his stormy side, his ice blue eyes ablaze and seemingly heartless. He will fight for his Clan to the very end but a good cause will also get his approval. Around kits Swiftriver is kind and a goof, but he won't give them a break on punishments when they do wrong. You have to learn sometimes don't you?
History: Ever since the nursery Swiftkit would always play Riverstar in the battles that his friends waged. He was always quick to listen to a story about his ancestor, wherever he went Swiftkit heard stories about him. His mother Brookflow told him stories about her ancestors with pride, the blood that ran through Swiftkit's very veins. His heart was pure and his mind full of stories he became an apprentice wanting to be exactly like Riverstar.
Swiftpaw was apprenticed to Leafwind, she was stern but had a way of making her apprentices feel good about themselves and about their abilities. He learned tons from her and mourned her death when she passed away during his fifth moon of training. He was supposed to be her last apprentice and she would've been retired right after his ceremony, but she had passed on the way she would have wanted it; Serving her Clan to the very last breath. His last moon of training was overseen by Hawktalon, a new warrior that didn't know a thing about mentoring.
Despite his moon of bad training Swiftpaw was named Swiftriver at 12 moons like every other apprentice. He loved his name, the river part made his heart glow with pride and wish his mother would've lived to see that moment. He was noted for his Speed and Cunning, that also reminded him of the river and pushed him to work even harder now that he was a warrior. Swiftriver went on as many patrols as he possibly could, it didn't matter how early he had to get up or how late he had to stay out, Swiftriver always felt at the top of his game. Even now he is working as hard as he can to be the best that he can be, and that is exactly what he will teach his first apprentice.
Kin: Brookflow(mother) Riverstar(great-great-great-grandfather)
