Name: Tigerscorch
Age: 28 moons
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Clan: RiverClan
Description:
Tigerscorch is a long-furred, dark tabby tom with yellow-gold eyes and a burnt-russet tint in his fur. He has long, white whiskers and a handsome face. His ears are pointed and the bottom of his jaw is white.
Personality:
Tigerscorch is somewhat unfriendly. He has an intense stare and can be judgmental towards those who do not respect the rules of the Clan. The tom, for all his ferocity, is very emotional at heart, though. He is surprisingly empathetic towards others, and often wishes he could stop himself from feeling the pain of the cats around him. But he is as strict with his own emotions as he is with the empathy he feels for others, and Tigerscorch does not let his nature rule over him. He is forgiving at heart, but strict in conduct, and displays a very rough exterior to hide the real cat underneath.
History:
Tigerkit was the only kit born to Maplesun and Fadedsky of RiverClan. His parents were kind but strict, and Fadedsky expected his son to become a good warrior. He told Tigerkit stories and encouraged him to believe in and honor the warrior code Tigerkit’s only desire was to fulfill his father’s wishes and become a great warrior. He was apprenticed to a cat named Spikedfur, who was strict but also encouraging. Tigerpaw grew close to his mentor, growing to see him as something of a second father. But Spikedfur suddenly became distracted and began to forget about his duty as Tigerpaw’s mentor. Tigerpaw was upset and followed his mentor one day to see where he was going. He found out that Spikedfur he been seeing a ShadowClan warrior, and they were expecting a litter of kits together. Tigerpaw was disappointed in his mentor, and was afraid to tell his leader of his mentor’s disloyalty. So he remained silent, not wanting to get Spikedfur into trouble. But one day his mentor went to see his ShadowClan mate near Fourtrees and Spikedfur was attacked by a wandering fox and killed. Tigerpaw was filled with guilt. If he had told his leader about Spikedfur’s relationship then the tom would have been punished and would not have gone to see her. He would still be alive. Tigerpaw never forgave himself for that breech in loyalty, and he became determined to follow the warrior code at all costs. He believed strongly that obeying the code was the only way to live, and he became stricter than his mentor or father had ever been But inside his heart he is even still sad and guilty over his mentor’s death,
