Name: Smokefur Age: 48 moons Gender: Tom Rank: Warrior Clan: WishingClan
Eyes: Smokefur had deep, shimmering golden optics. Pelt: His coat is relatively short in length (like an American shorthair cat), and is on the thicker side. His pelt is a dark, smoky gray that resembles very dark smoke in color. It's almost black, but not quite (you can still tell it's gray, but it's not far from black). Body: Smokefur is a rather large, muscular tomcat. He's quite strong. He's not the fastest cat ever, although he's not exactly slow. He dislikes climbing and most things that involve jumping. He's not a huge fan of swimming, but he'll tolerate it to a point (if it's warm and not too fast-moving, he can take it, but when it's cold or really fast or deep, he won't do it). He doesn't really mind getting his fur wet, but he doesn't really like pouring rain. He's good at fighting, and he's a very good tracker, as well. He has a tendency to notice details that some cats might not see or consider. He's all right when it comes to hunting, but he's not particularly fond of it.
Personality: Smokefur is somewhat antisocial. He doesn’t talk a whole lot. For the most part, he just does what he’s told (as long as it’s by his superiors) and that’s it. He’s not very confrontational, and has a tendency to try to break up arguments or fights, especially when they’re over stupid things. However, he can have a temper if you insult him continuously (or Amberleaf, for that matter), and in that case, can get somewhat confrontational. It takes a lot, though, unless he’s under a lot of stress (when his mother and brother died, it was really easy to set him off). He’s not the most popular cat in the Clan, but he’s a rather good fighter, and is a skilled tracker. He used to be a little better at interacting with other cats, very good, in fact, but the deaths of his mother and brother, as well as the reappearance of his murderous father, made him quite stressed. History: Smokefur was born to Robinfur and Goreclaw in a litter of three. The first born of the litter was Mudkit. Smokefur, then Smokekit, was second born, and his sister, Lizardkit, was third. Lizardkit was a rather rambunctious kit, and often got on her father’s nerves. One day, the tom (who wasn't quite right mentally...) whacked her hard in the head to shut her up (she was chattering to him nonstop about wanting to become an apprentice, and how she thought she was going to be the best hunter in the Clan, etc.), and she died. Robinfur walked into the nursery (she’d been out in the clearing and had asked Goreclaw to watch the kits) and saw Lizardkit dead, and Mudkit and Smokekit told her what happened. Goreclaw was banished from the Clan. Mudkit and Smokekit were both shaken by what their father did to their sister.
At six moons, they were both apprenticed. Smokepaw was mentored by a warrior named Scratchclaw. A moon after Smokepaw became Smokefur, Scratchclaw disappeared during the night. It is thought that he went out hunting, as he often did at night, and was dragged off by a badger (his scent was traced to a spot where blood had been spilled, probably his, and badger scent was fresh).
Three moons after Smokefur became a warrior, Swallowtail died, leaving Amberpaw mentorless. She was rather close to becoming a warrior, and there weren’t many warriors available at the time. So, Smokefur was given the responsibility of mentoring Amberpaw for the last moon or so of her training. It was good for both cats, as Smokefur had grown somewhat solitary since his kithood, and Amberpaw was rather shaken by the death of her mentor. The pair quickly grew close. It was good for Smokefur, as, after a short time, someone grew to understand him. He felt bad for Amberpaw, as he remembered the feeling of loss after the death of someone close. Smokefur’s social skills got a little better, and Amberpaw started to get over Swallowtail’s death. In less than a moon after his death, she became a warrior.
When Smokefur was thirty-eight moons old, his mother fell ill. She had a bad case of greencough. She was elderly and frail, and didn’t make it through Leaf-bare. Smokefur had always been somewhat closer to his mother than normal, especially since Lizardkit’s death. Not a moon later, Mudfur, Smokefur’s brother, was found dead at the border. There was a faint scent near him, but Smokefur recognized it immediately. It was the scent of his father. For several days, he was extremely paranoid. At first he thought that Goreclaw had killed Mudfur for ratting him out all those moons ago. A fear from his kithood had resurfaced, and only Amberleaf could talk sense into him. They decided that Goreclaw might have met Mudfur at the border, and killed him for the reason Smokefur suspected, but it was merely because they met randomly. It wasn’t planned, and he wasn’t out to get Mudfur or Smokefur. A moon later, Smokefur and Amberleaf ran into Goreclaw on a patrol. Goreclaw lunged at his son, and in the fray, Goreclaw ended up dead. Smokefur was slightly shaken by this, but Amberleaf assured him that as Goreclaw wasn’t a Clan cat and he had attacked Smokefur, StarClan wouldn’t be angry. She was relieved, as she knew that Smokefur would no longer have to worry while out hunting or patrolling, and she wouldn’t have to worry for him. Not much significant has happened since then, but Smokefur grew more solitary. He remained loyal to the Clan, of course, but he didn’t make an effort to interact with anyone as much. He isn’t as easy to set off as far as his anger goes now, but following all of the deaths (his mom, brother, and father), it wasn’t hard to make him angry.
