History - Arc 1: Loner-ship - 0 to 10 moons
Lionpaw doesn't know who his parents are or where he was born. His earliest memories are of tense, rapid movements. As a young kit, he was taken care of by a male tom. He lived on the outskirts of ThunderClan territory where few cats went. One day, the tom never returned, leaving Lionpaw to fend for himself at the age of four moons. He soon met another loner named Raven and they became best friends. Soon after turning six moons, Lionpaw stumbled into a ThunderClan apprentice by the name of Frostpaw. The two immediatly became friends. The trio of Lion, Raven, and Frost would meet up as often as possible, with Frostpaw sneaking away from camp under the alias of "hunting". At ten moons, there was an accident. Frostpaw and Raven were out alone. The next thing he knew, Frostpaw was standing in front of Lion with Raven's dead body hanging from his jaw. Frostpaw refused to say what happened, leaving Lion confused, but Frostpaw was devestated. Lionpaw secretly believed that Frost had killed Raven as the white tom's mental health had been deterioating recently. A fortmoon later, Lion attempted to join ThunderClan.
Arc 2: Mentorless - 10 to 14 moons
Upon joining ThunderClan, Lionpaw tried his best to get used to clan life. However, he had trouble adapting to having friends and clanmates to lean on. He kept mostly to himself, although he did make friends with a couple she-cats. His mentor disappeared into thin air after only one training session, leaving Lionpaw even more confused. Unable to train by himself and unfamiliar with ThunderClan's territory, Lionpaw ended up honing his loner-learnt skills. It turned out that he had a knack for performing the Lightning Strike, ThunderClan's signature move. Three moons into becoming a thundercat, Lionpaw befriended a young molly named Frostpaw. At first, he had trouble because Frostpaw-ThC shared a name with his previous friend, who had defected to ShadowClan. After the ThunderClan fire, however, their friendship spiraled out of control and Lionpaw was no longer bothered by this.
Arc 3: Early Apprenticeship - 15 to 17 moons
Once Buckstar became ThunderClan's leader, Lionpaw was assigned a new mentor - Whiteclaw. It also came to light that his first friend in ThunderClan, Frostpaw, was missing. This shook Lionpaw quite a bit, as he had been slowly growing attached to the white molly. The golden tom tried to shake it off and hid his worry quite well, but the loss still left him fairly vulnerable. His next moon came with a note of bad luck. Lionpaw accidentally turned his claws on a clanmate, helped a kit climb a tree which resulted in them breaking their leg, then inadvertedly insulted the leader. Later, he also spoke back to his mentor before leading the warrior on a chase throughout the territory, once again, in the view of the leader. Frustrated with his position, the abyssinian mix started to question his worth as a clancat. Luckily, the introduction of a few friends (ie. Darkfire) brightened his mood, and he also improved his connection with Whiteclaw.
Arc 4: Later Apprenticeship - 18 moons and counting
This period of time started off with the return of ShadowClan and the ascension of Dawnstar. Although those events had little impact on Lionpaw, that didn't stop him from noticing the turbulence in the air. Since ShadowClan abandoned their territory, Lionpaw hadn't heard a single whisper about Frostpaw. He hasn't even sure whether or not the tom was still alive. Combined with his apprenticeship troubles, this ordeal seriously tested the abyssinian's patience. He was had his ups and downs for a month until the next Gathering, where he was able to track down Frosty and scream the the other tom for the good duration of time before the announcements began. [TBC]
Traits:
+ loyal, perceptive, adaptable, cheerful, confident, compassionate, creative
- stubborn, cautious, mischievous, impulsive, rash, impatient
[rare] doubtful, cynical, selfless
Personality:
Lionpaw is a naturally happy tom. He's young and energetic, and wears his heart on his sleeve. The ginger cat befriends about everyone, although he prefers to keep a small group of close friends. As a previous loner, Lionpaw is a bit insecure around clan cats although he tries not to show it. He sorely misses Talonstone and his freedom, but he knows that his life will probably be better if he can have others to rely on. The golden tom is thoroughly loyal to those he cares for and tries hard to look at life from multiple perspectives.
