[Duskstar]

Name:
Prowlstep - Prowlpaw - Prowlkit

Age:
16 moons

Gender:
Tom

Clan:
SilentClan

Rank:
Warrior

Appearance:
Prowlstep's appearance could be described in one word. Creepy. Short black fur covers his whole body, and seems to be sleek and water resistant. His brother, Fallendream, is most likely jealous of his easy-to-manage pelt, but he would never say anything. Prowlstep's face has a sort of handsome edge to it, with a sharp, firm jaw, and rounded ears. These ears he has always seem to be moving. Its as if he believes there is a traitor in SilentClan, and he is listening for it. Actually, the only reason Prowlstep has this is because as a kit he had an awful twitch, and now he simply knows to control it more. Last but not least, to top off the face, this warrior has two stunning amber eyes. Their sharp piercing gaze can make a kit think its in trouble without him even saying anything. Usually these optics hide all emotions really well, but he seems to have more trouble with anger than anything else.
While Fallendream got the clumsiness, Prowlstep got the agility. He could run circles around anyone, any time of day. Long lean limbs shoot out of his body, much unlike his brother, and a long tail tops it all off. Black claws slide neatly out of his small paws and have just the perfect hook for tree climbing. This tom is a natural hunter.

Personality:
Prowlstep has a temper issue. That is one sentence that could go here by itself. Though he can better control it now than when he was younger, I wouldn't want to walk around and make this cat mad. The first sign to this oncoming temper would be prickling fur. This is Prowlstep struggling to control his anger. Then there is him twitching the tip of his tail. Another sign of irritation. Then he loses control of his ears and lashes out. His patience is virtually nonexistent, very much unlike Fallendream, and because of this, the warrior hasn't received his first apprentice. It angers him, and whenever he looks at Coalpaw or any of his brother's previous apprentices, envy fills his belly.
Prowlstep seems to have a sort of evil hidden inside of him, but this couldn't be more wrong. He wouldn't dare lay a claw on anyone in his clan, but appearance combined with such a reclusive nature seems to scare many. No, when this warrior stares off into space, thinking and snapping at those who try and bring him back to reality, he is not plotting against SilentClan, but mealy looking back into his past. The warrior does this often.
Around kits Prowlstep has what would be called... a hard spot, if you must. When they approach him he acts as though they aren't there, usually finding an excuse to leave. Often times the tom will snap at them, especially when they have done something mousebrained or bothered him. The really hyper kits is always like a thorn in his pad, and sometimes he will leave into the forest just to get away from it all.

History:
Prowlkit grew up as the bully. The second worse bully in the litter of four, all toms, Bearkit being his leader. Fallenkit, who was the smallest, was the one picked on, and Prowlkit's specialty was his profound clumsiness. He told his brother he would never be a warrior because he would trip over his own paws in battle or while hunting. It proved to be very amusing to Prowlkit, Bearkit, and Stealthkit, and Shadowpelt, their mother, wasn't around enough to care. Besides, if Prowlkit didn't help, most likely he would have been teased because of his twitching. Better Fallenkit than him, right? So the harassment continued into apprenticeship.
Prowlkit became Prowlpaw, and received the mentor Ivoryheart, whom was very strict and was expected to whip her new apprentice into shape. It worked when he was around her, but as soon as she went off on a patrol he would pick on Fallenpaw as much as possible. Then, once Bearpaw died of Blackcough, he became the leader of the teasing, his backup being Stealthpaw. But when his only living kin became Fallenpaw after a plague of the same disease that killed Bearpaw swept through the camp, killing Stealthpaw. Though Prowlpaw didn't have anyone to gang up with, he didn't stop harassing Fallenpaw. That is, until that fateful day.
Fallenpaw, beginning to become sick of the constant teasing, challenged Prowlpaw to a duel. Now, our little kitty's logic was that his brother was still smaller than him, and he could win easily, so he accepted. Bad idea. Because of his over confident thoughts, Prowlpaw lost the battle and ended up never teasing his brother again. It was a good thing, because then Fallenpaw grew to be way bigger than him, and even after they were named warriors Prowlstep and Fallendream , he still sometimes fears the one he used to pick on.
