Canon Character? Nope.
Name: Windflash
Gender: Male
Age: 20 moons
Clan: WindClan
Rank: Warrior
Short Appearance:
A large brown tabby with pale, olive green eyes.
Appearance:
FUR: Windflash has a simple fur pattern. His tabby pattern is made up of many varying shades of brown. His chest and stomach are a slightly lighter shade than the rest of him. These gradients of brown are topped by solid tabby stripes, a dark chocolatey-brown color. This fur is coarse, however his chest fur is extremely soft. The tabby stripes on this tom's tail seem to be a darker shade of stripes than the rest of him, almost a black color. His fur is average-length, not too long and not too short, but it generally stays the same length throughout his whole body.
BUILD: Windflash has a build somewhat odd for his raising as a WindClan cat. While most cats of his clan are small, lithe, sleek, and light, Windflash has broad shoulders and is well-muscled. He's a tall cat, his legs long and strong. His tail is long and thick, great for balance. Large and a little disproportionate, Windflash's paws are sturdy, but sometimes he can trip over them. Windflash is a much better fighter than hunter as he isn't very light on his paws. He's decent when it comes to hunting, but thanks to this non-WindClan build, he's not the first cat you'd ask to join you on a hunting patrol.
HEAD: There's nothing very unique about Windflash's head. It's pretty average; round and fluffy. His ears are large and rounded, sloping easily into his brown tabby head. They're a tad far back on his head, a little ways above his eyes which are large and wide, always open and alert. A pale olive color fills them up, other than his small slits of pupils. All in all, he's pretty ordinary in appearance, but he sticks out with the WindClanners - mostly because of his ThunderClan build.
Likes/Strengths:
Windflash likes:fighting, as Windflash is a pretty good fighter and he always enjoys it - he's practically the first tom to ask to fight in the battle. Normally he's modest, but if there's one thing he's proud of, it's his ability to fight well in battles.
mornings, because the tabby tom is a big morning person, usually rising at three or four in the morning, not as nocturnal as most of his species is. Usually he's in that lethargic stage until dawn, when he's pretty much fully awake.
Windflash's strengths include:confidence, seeing as Windflash has a lot of confidence in himself both socially and psychically. He knows he's a great fighter and he tells himself he makes up for his lack of hunting ability with that. This confidence means he is pretty good in social situations as well.
optimism, a the tom is the kind of cat who will make sure he cheers you up before leaving. If you tell him to go away because you're mad, he'll come up with a reason to stay and he'll weasel that problem out of you until he can cheer you up. He's also the type of cat who always finds that silver lining; the type that will always say 'We can win this!' even if you're outnumbered 5 to 3.
Dislikes/Weaknesses:
Windflash dislikes:kits, Windflash believes that kits shouldn't goof off and have fun like they do. He thinks they should become apprentices at three or four moons, rather than six.
laziness, Windflash is an extremely productive cat who frowns upon any complaints or relaxation. It's a rare occurrence to see this tabby simply laying around doing nothing. He's normally either hunting, fighting, or training his apprentice.
Windflash's weaknesses include:temper, This tom has a big temper that he has a problem controlling. He tries to walk away from things, but he always has to get the last word in.
speed, Having such massive paws, Windflash is a bit of a klutz when it comes to moving quickly. If someone told him to run for backup - which wouldn't be a smart move in the first place, because his clumsiness is pretty obvious - he'd protest and send the cat lightest on their paws.
Personality:
Windflash is a pretty normal tom. He likes to think of himself as popular, but sometimes has a slight paranoia as to what other cats are thinking of him. He wonders vaguely if maybe he has it all wrong and that instead of people thinking he's popular, that maybe they think he's a complete loser. Truth is, he's very likable. He has confidence, strength, kindness, optimism, etc. He would have speed on that list - if only he wasn't such a klutz. Around toms, Windflash acts a little different than he would with she-cats. With toms, he's a little more immature and carefree. As for she-cats, his serious attitude can crop up and he likes to make himself look responsible and macho. In a mate, he wants someone feminine - no tomboys - and someone responsible. He doesn't want kits, but he knows if his mate wanted kits, he would give her that.
This tabby is incredibly loyal. He enjoys going to gatherings, but he typically ignores anyone not in his clan. Every day after waking up, Windflash takes a quick walk around the perimeter of camp. Usually at this time, he plans his day out and typically just thinks, his thoughts darting around like water bugs. He's not usually a very intellectual cat; I mean, of course he's smart but he isn't very deep. This tabby hates being lonely so you can always find him making small talk with cat of his clan.
Windflash has never doubted his loyalty to WindClan. He believes he was born and raised in this clan and that his build is just different. There are other cats in his clan, so he doesn't think too much of it. However when he does find out of his true heritage ( I'll be posting the mini-plot soon. :3 ), the tom will be crushed. He'll be confused, but after putting everything together, he'll realize that it all makes sense - which it does. He's obviously never been much of a runner, so the WindClan territory wasn't his strong suit. He never felt that big claustrophobia that most WindClanners felt in small places. Sometimes he thinks his clan is full of weaklings and wimps and he's always trying to give them 'constructive criticism', which sometimes gets him yelled at; either that, or sometimes they just get pissed off at Windflash. He's used to both.
One-Sentence Personality:
Windflash is a fighter, optimistic, a little egotistic, loyal, and friendly.
History:
BEGINNING: Greenclaw was a simple she-cat who enjoyed simple things. She was a little carefree as a young warrior. She soon met a ThunderClan tom, his name was Frostedlight. Frostedlight was also a young warrior, happy with life. No one knew of Greenclaw's pregnancy, not even herself. She showed up one day on the edge of ThunderClan territory, one kit with her - a she-cat. She waited all day until Frostedlight came by. She handed the kit to him and asked him to make sure she was taken care of. She said that she couldn't stay in the clans anymore and she left, Frostedlight never seeing her again. This kit grew up knowing the truth, that Frostedlight was her father and that Greenclaw had left to become a loner when she was born. This kit was named Whitekit and grew up to become Whiteridge, with no knowledge of her brother in WindClan who grew up nursing from a queen named Silverspeed who had lost two kits due to Greencough late in the winter and had milk to spare for the spring-born Windkit.
EVENTS: Windflash had a typical kithood. He grew up having fun with his siblings, ignoring the fact that he looked nothing like them. They all thought that Windflash was their brother as Silverspeed never told anyone. No one at all. Windflash's kithood was pretty uneventful. He was happy and carefree.
APPRENTICESHIP: When Windflash hit apprenticeship, he fell for a she-cat. Her name was Sunpaw and she was perfect for Windflash. The two were doing the cat equivalent of dating. Sunpaw and Whiteflash spent almost every waking moment together, but that winter Sunpaw came down with Greencough. Dramatically enough, she apologized to Windflash for leaving him and she wanted him to find another she-cat and not to worry about her. He yowled to Sunpaw to stay, but by nightfall, the WindClan apprentice had joined StarClan's ranks and Windflash has always believe the she-cat had gotten there safely and that she was looking down on him and the clan. He got a little behind on his apprenticeship with his grieving, but he soon completed his training and finished at about twelve moons, earning the name of Whiteflash.
Summary:
Windflash was born to a she-cat who left to live as a loner. She left one kit in her own clan, WindClan, and the other with her mate in ThunderClan. During apprenticeship, Whiteflash fell in love, but Sunpaw died from Greencough.
Parents: Greenclaw and Frostedlight
Siblings: Whiteridge

Flexing his claws as he stretched, a large tabby tom flattened his ears in a huge yawn. Windflash's fur rippled lightly as he started to wake. He looked up at the sky; it was dark, just before dawn. It wasn't necessarily black, but a small pale gray tinge was added to the sky, the first sign of the rising sun which, Windflash knew, was just under the horizon. He got to his paws in a lethargic way. He trotted out to the center of the camp, trying to keep his massive paws light, which was a difficult feat, considering his size. He had never looked like a WindClan cat, but he'd grown up as one.
Sitting down in the middle of the camp, Windflash rasped his rough tongue over his coarse pelt of browns, tans, and grays. The tip of his bushy tail flicked back and forth from where it lay over his paws. His tongue dragged over his tabby stripes as he smoothed it down so he was ready for the day. After a quick glance around the camp to ensure that he hadn't woke anyone up, he got to his paws and trotted out the grassy entrance. His large paws crunched wet grass beneath them, causing a slight sloshing sound as he traipsed across the WindClan moors.
The dark gray sky became steadily lighter and suddenly Windflash saw a slight curve of white rise over the horizon - the sun. He felt a slight purr rumble in his throat as he continued on his walk. He knew he was going to go on the morning patrol today, so he picked up the pace in order to be back on time. He decided he could go hunting after the patrol and then take out his apprentice for battle training. After that, he could chat for a while and then rest up, ready for the next patrol he was due for.
As he came over a hill, he saw a few dots make their way parallel to the border between WindClan and ShadowClan. One of the dots sprinted ahead and Windflash started forward. The tabby tom growled as he saw the other clan cross the border. "Hey!" he yowled furiously, charging forward. "You can't even see the border, what are you? Blind?" he said, his short temper rising. Idiots! he thought as he flattened his ears and rest his weight on his back legs, ready to launch forward in battle if needed. The other cat was small for a warrior and they too flattened their ears, but in shame or embarrassment. The rest of the hunting patrol picked up pace and came to their clanmate's aid. "Cool it, buddy - he's an apprentice, they make mistakes," said a she-cat, stepping forward. Her fur was a golden-honey color and her blue eyes looked into Windflash's pale olive ones.
He drew himself up to his full height and glared at the ShadowClan cats. "Drop the prey and go, or you'll be sure to pay for it," threatened Windflash, annoyed. The she-cat who seemed to be leading the patrol rolled her eyes and flicked her tail at the apprentice, who quickly dropped the rabbit. The whole patrol turned and left. "Mouse-brains," he muttered before continuing in a louder voice. "And stay off our territory!" With that, he snatched up the caught rabbit and started back towards camp, intent on telling Tallstar of the skirmish.
OOC - Like I said, not much. xP
