♕ APPEARANCE
» Though he has a large personality, Russetpaw is nowhere near as large appearance-wise. He is actually a smaller apprentice, with a small body and matching paws. His fur fills up his body, giving him a somewhat larger appearance. Fur angles off his cheeks, forming soft triangular tufts of fur. The fur is long and soft, in a soft, creamy orange color. Russetpaw has patches of a creamy off-white, the most noticeable areas underneath his jaw, his paws, and tail. And now to what Russetpaw was named for; his eyes. Nearly circular in color and quite large, his eyes are perhaps his most intriguing feature. They are a deep, rich russet color. The color could also be described as rust, but russet is just so much more fitting. His nose is almost the same color of his eyes; just a couple shades shy from it--more pink than brown.

♕ PERSONALITY
» Russetpaw has a rather brash personality. He doesn't seem to care about anyone's feelings, and is just overall rude. When talking, he is loud and obnoxious. He always shares his opinions, no matter what problems they might cause. Russetpaw barely has any respect for elders, or higher positions. He has some; he's not stupid enough to start making fun of the leader anytime soon. He is known to get in trouble often, whether it be for being mean to other apprentices, not doing his duties, or something completely different. Russetpaw doesn't seem to care about consequences; he's just the sort of cat to not "look before you leap". Some might think that Russetpaw only acts like this for some stupid reason, but they're wrong. He craves attention, just like his father. Russetpaw always want to be the center. He wants to be the best warrior, and can't stand someone telling him he's doing something wrong, and he rarely takes advice. The tom has always been like this, from the moment he was born. Nothing tragic happened to cause it, though perhaps there was someone who influenced it.

♕ HISTORY
» Emberheart and Gorseclaw seemed to be a match made in StarClan. They were perfect for each other; Emberheart was a less-rash version of her mate, Gorseclaw. She was the only one that could make him calm down, and be nice for once. Emberheart was a kind, but opinionated and outgoing cat. Gorseclaw was just like Russetpaw--well, Russetpaw was like his father. The two mates had been trying for what seemed like seasons to have kits. And finally, Russetkit came along. He was their only living kit; the other two had been born dead. They didn't seem too phased by this. Emberheart was just thrilled to have a kit. However, Gorseclaw seemed to be unhappy with the result. He didn't like that Russetkit was taking Emberheart's attention. So Gorseclaw began treating Russetkit terribly. He would yell at the kit for doing things "wrong", and eventually Russetkit began to believe him. However, one day that changed. Russetkit decided he wasn't going to listen anymore--and that's when his true personality emerged.

Emberheart and Gorseclaw began to drift apart. Her mate was becoming unbearable; too attached, too...angry. She was afraid he would attack her or Russetkit. When Emberheart approached Gorseclaw, Russetkit hid nearby and listened. What happened next was possibly near the worst thing imagined. Gorseclaw began to seethe with anger, and lashed out at Emberheart. His claws dug straight into her left eye; permanently blinding her. While she sobbed in pain, Russetkit bravely ran out of his hiding place and began to scream at his father. Gorseclaw's eyes were insane; full of confusion and yet still full of so much anger. He began to start towards Russetkit, but instead turned and ran. Barely moments later, warriors came rushing to the scene, and Russetkit told them everything. Had Gorseclaw still been there, he probably would have been exiled. But no one saw him again.

Russetkit became an apprentice a moon or so later. The only cat he's somewhat nice to is his mother, who is blind and miserable. After all, her mate left, leaving her with more than heartbreak.
