Rippleshade of WaterClan

Rippleshade ~ 28 moons ~ WaterClan


Rippleshade is a white and silver tom cat with black stripes and flecks across his pelt. He has yellow eyes that always seem to be glaring and harsh, angular features. He's rather large, both in stature and in weight, broad shouldered, muscular, and overall just big. He is covered in scars and scratches across his pelt and has a huge bite-mark in his left ear.
Rippleshade is very intelligent and observant. Surprisingly, he's not all the confident in his abilities as a warrior, and constantly feels the need to prove his intellect. He's a bit of a know-it-all, and is said to make cats feel like something's crawling up their back when he's talking. He does tend to have a tendency to just watch cats, which is probably why they think he's creepy. Rippleshade is very enthusiastic about his interests and is generally very excited about stories and pretty things, making him act a bit kit-like.

Fighting: 6/10, he's very powerful and smart but very uncoordinated and hesitant.

History:
Rippleshade was born with his two siblings to her half-BrightClan mother and WaterClan father in the camp in the middle of a deep snowy night. The three kits were a blessing to their young parents and it wasn't long before they were getting into mischief, with Greywhisker simply turning a blind eye to their cheeky antics such as burying the freshkill in snow, claiming they were putting the fish back in water but simply managing to freeze the already-frosted prey. 
When he and his littermates were made apprentices, he was given a cat named Wildface that he had made fun of a lot as a kit behind his back. Wildface, despite having a funny name and a kind of weird face, was a good mentor who really helped him calm down. He did struggle in hunting, but he was pretty good at fighting. Rippleshade has a mostly uneventful apprenticeship until, late into his apprenticeship, his brother went missing after a badger attack. He was distraught, often going out of camp and tearing up the territory trying to find him. 
Still filled with grief, he earned his warrior name, which he believes may have come from himself being suspicious. Even after his apprenticeship, he still went out hunting with Wildface. Sadly, one day on a hunt during a rainstorm, his old mentor slipped and fell into the river, hitting his head on a rock on the way in. Rippleshade managed to drag him to the surface, but by that time it was too late for his old mentor. His parents later died of sickness, but did leave another kit behind.
