Tundracloud of HeatherClan

---

”If your heart’s big enough, you can make it through anything.”

---

Name: Tundrakit Tundrapaw Tundracloud
Gender: Tom
Age: Twenty moons (Almost two years)
Breed: Mixed
Rank: Warrior
Clan: HeatherClan

Appearance: This large tom is one of the biggest in the Clans at his age; and he’s still growing! Already he is larger than the average fully-grown male, and is a bulky and muscular-set tom. His shoulders are broad to where climbing or stalking is difficult for him, but where fighting becomes his forte. A battle is Tundracloud’s playground; it seems as if he were built for fighting. His thick, bushy pelt is a dark-blue color, like midnight, accented with white paws and stripes. His face has a mask of white that looks like a sprayed cloud of snow, seemingly earning him his name. His eyes are a darker emerald color and always seem to be twinkling good-humoredly.


Personality: Insecure | Brave | Obedient | Shy | Good-Natured | Patient

Insecure- Though Tundracloud may be bold in the face of danger, words terrify him more than an enemy ever will. Insults pierce him and stay with him longer than any physical wound might, and he doubts himself constantly, often even belittling himself in front of others. He truly has no self-confidence and is so insecure he would be utterly bewildered if he were ever told that another had a crush on him, for he believes himself unworthy of such a thing.

Brave- Despite his own personal misgivings, Tundracloud will let nothing harm his Clan or those he cares about and respects. This was practically the only trait besides loyalty that Tundracloud ever shared with his former mentor, Tidalstar, and to this day gives his leader the credit for his own courage. Nothing can make Tundracloud back down when those he loves are threatened, and he would lay his life down without pause for his authorities or a younger cat.

Obedient- Tundracloud is not a rulebreaker. Even as a kit he stayed out of trouble, watching his sister’s wily antics with wide and worried eyes. Only ever did he join in because of pressure from all of his siblings; even then, he despised doing wrong. He is obedient to a fault and would do anything his leader or deputy told him to, though his true loyalty falls to Tidalstar first; even if the order went against the warrior code, if his higher-up ordered it, Tundracloud would see it through.

Shy- Above all Tundracloud is a very bashful sort of cat. He doesn’t do well with making conversation unless he knows the other cat very well, and even then he can be rather shy. He might be bold as a lion when a fox is threatening the nursery, but the thought of talking to strangers bushes his pelt out. She-cats especially frighten him, though not nearly as badly as they did when he was an apprentice, and believed every female to be just like his sister.

Good-Natured- Tundracloud is a good-humored tom and not one to hold any grudges or lose his temper. Quite frankly, it is questioned whether he even has a temper, for he has yet to show it! It takes a lot to rile Tundracloud even to the point of preparing himself to fight, and still he will not let his smooth face crack. Generally he is an ever-smiling and cheerful presence, and overall a kind cat to be around.

Patient- As stated before, not much can rile Tundracloud- he is a patient and usually understanding cat. He is not one to hurry others and never loses his temper because one is being frustrating; he knows waiting calmly will most likely get him what he wants quicker than snarling and unsheathing his claws. He has a sensible demeanor and a calm personality when dealing with younger cats, and would make a great mentor someday.

History:

Tundracloud was born as Tundrakit, a thoroughly average tom, to his HeatherClan parents Sapwhisker and Juniperfire. His mother was proud as can be, and though strict at times, she adored her kits, even shy little Tundrakit. He was the quiet and meek one of the group, jumping at every noise and wincing when his five siblings teased him, even occasionally Tigerkit. His sister Umberkit was the only one who eventually apologized once she realized it actually hurt her brother’s feelings. She quickly became his best and only friend through his first two moons.

Though Tundrakit’s brothers were at times cruel to him, Tundrakit never held a grudge against them and loved them as family. When Stagkit and Sparrowkit went missing, he was devastated as any brother might be. Juniperfire only became even more protective and strict over her remaining four.

But it seemed Tundrakit’s family was cursed. Only a half-moon after his brothers’ disappearances, Juniperfire fell desperately ill. Though it was hastened to separate her from her kits, Copperkit, Tigerkit, and Umberkit all fell sick as well. Tundrakit was terrified and alone for the first time in his life. Sapwhisker was far too busy as a warrior to spend much time with his son, and Tundrakit was forced to watch his mother waste away in front of his very eyes. Copperkit swiftly followed her.

Just as Tundrakit steeled himself for the worst, his sisters began to recover, though they were still far too weak to be apprenticed even when they all reached six moons old. Tundrakit alone was apprenticed- the only apprentice in the entire Clan. Not to mention that he was given to Tidalwave, the Clan deputy! Tundrapaw was horrified at being the center of attention all of a sudden, but Umberkit reassured him. The once-meek kit was changing to the “big brother”- he became more confident, just slightly, and not as timid. He became immediately very protective of Umberkit- so much so that he had no friends except for her and Tigerkit for two moons.

Being the deputy’s apprentice was both exciting and disappointing, for almost straightaway Tundrapaw noticed Tidalwave didn’t seem to like him. For a while he was stiff and rather cold around his apprentice, until Tundrapaw was around nine moons of age and Tidalwave abruptly began to warm towards Tundrapaw. Just a moon prior, Tigerkit and Umberkit were finally apprenticed, and Tundrapaw was no longer alone.

A moon later, he even met a sweet she-cat named Silverpaw- on the most terrifying day of his life. Exploring with her, the flood came; it washed them both away and destroyed the center of the valley with its rushing waters. At first Tundrapaw was afraid he was alone, that he had lost his sisters and father- but very quickly, he and Umberpaw found each other. The two siblings and Silverpaw became close friends during the time of recovery.

Tundrapaw was given his warrior name, Tundracloud, when a moon and a half had passed since the flood and HeatherClan had mostly rebuilt its camp. Robinstar was growing older, and Tundracloud knew he was one of the last warriors to be named by the elderly leader. Eventually Robinstar would step down, and Tidalwave took his place. When Tidalstar returned to camp with nine lives Tundracloud made sure to cheer the loudest, ever proud of his mentor.

Shortly afterwards, Silverpaw was named Silverbreeze, and then Umberpaw to Umberflare. Watching his two best friends receive their warrior names was almost as great as watching his mentor be named leader. Tundracloud finally had it all, even though he had nearly lost it- though Sapwhisker and Tigerpaw were presumed to be with the rest of their family in StarClan, he still had his sister, and he still had Silverbreeze.

RP Example: (From Palette's reference, TGB)

Summer breezes whispered music in the thin smith's tapered ear, tickling along her elegant jaw and pulling her scent away to mingle with the thick scent of lilacs and gardenias that grew here in such abundance. Oh, how Palette loved the freshly-arranged gardens that sprouted here- freely, and without restraint, blanketing the earth with a soft sheen of vibrant, assorted colors. And she adored it. How breathtaking it was to imagine that the same earth that gave wet mud and slick footing might also shed such beauty upon the world...

Eyes pale as the pastel sky, Palette paused to survey the wisps of clouds above, scudding lazily over the perfect landscape like bored chaperones to the gently bobbing blossoms. What a precious sight to behold, and how wonderful to think...the same lands that could be transformed to roiling storm and snarling gales one heartbeat could be so serene and peaceful the next. And we no more than pawns in this place, thought Palette with a wry, small smile.

Just she and the flowers, silent in this perfect little place.
