Name: Coalpaw
Age: 7 moons
Gender: tom
Clan: SilentClan
Rank: apprentice
Appearance: Coalpaw is a very small, willowy tomcat. His body is built slender, sleek and long-legged but lightweight meaning in battle he can be easily toppled but as a hunter he is quite stealthy. Coalpaw's pelt coloring is unusual but handsome. Solid black creates the canvas coloring for this particular apprentice and throughout his pelt there are flecks of white, small splashes of white on his paws, chest, back and legs as well as on his ears. From a distance these flecks give him the appearance of a very dark grey tomcat when really he's black and white. This rather odd coloring gives him a slight advantage when hunting in the territories SilentClan has claimed because his pelt is "shadow-like" in its coloring. The color of his eyes is bright burning amber.
Personality: Like several SilentClan cats, Coalpaw has a sharp tongue when agitated and even sharper claws. Most of the time however, Coalpaw is recluse and calculating, always watching and observing the actions of his clanmates. He's a curious creature by nature and can often be found lurking in the shadows of the camp or in the caves, sniffing out secrets that don't exist. Devout and loyal, Coalpaw would die for his clan and anyone in it from a kit to elder. He fights with his mind just as much as his claws since he lacks the bulk muscle that make some cats so sturdy in a fight. In other words, if he was tackled he would fall but he would still have fair chances of escaping with his life. Coalpaw is an intelligent and insightful cat despite his young age though not exactly "wise". A cat of common sense and logic, Coalpaw keeps his cool when things go wrong, or at least he tries.
History: Born into SilentClan, Coalpaw is the son of Nightpool and Hawkwing. In his litter, Coalpaw had one sister and one brother. His brother's name was Crowpaw and his sister's name was Kestrelpaw. As a kit, Coalkit was curious and adventurous, often finding himself in trouble for sneaking out of the nursery with Kestrelkit and Crowkit. At a young age, Coalkit was sometimes teased by apprentices because he wasn't as big as Crowkit and had even heard his father debating with his mother on asking Fadingstar to make him a medicine cat apprentice. Put off by this, Coalkit fled the camp to blow some steam away from his siblings and the eyes of his judgmental clan. In the forest, Coalkit met a young rouge she-cat named Lark, a ginger and white she-cat with green eyes. She offered to spar with Coalkit. If he won, she would go to his clan with him as a prisoner.
Strangely, through their fight the pair became friends. Though Coalkit didn't beat her, Lark praised him and said he would make a fine warrior someday before going on her way. Before she left, Lark left Coalkit a challenge to catch her someday. When Coalkit returned back to camp his mother scolded him for leaving but no one, not even his siblings, found out about Lark, not even when Coalpaw prepared for his apprentice ceremony the next moon.

Other: I'll be putting Lark up for adoption and possibly making Kestrelpaw later when the clan has more warriors.
