  I know I have a picture, but I'd like to describe him anyway. It's just traditional for me.
  
  I am a lean, average height tom with medium-length yellow fur. My paws are wide and sturdy, allowing me to get a good grip on the turf in my territory. I am built for speed. I am well-muscled and strong, but not strong enough to defend myself well. I rely on my wits and speed to protect myself in battle. It is easy to see that I am not a fighter- I am perfectly comfortable and fit in well with TornadoClan. My limbs are long and just powerful enough to give me my speed. My face is the normal, triangular shape that every cat has. My ears are tall and pointed, standing straight atop my head to alert me of danger around me. My tail is thin and somewhat long, the tip flicking constantly. There are dark blue spots on my yellow fur, forming partial arrows pointing toward my shoulders on both sides. There is a different colored star on each leg. The tip of my tail is light blue, same as my back left paw. My front right paw is yellow like the rest of my fur. I have a thin, ash-gray outline of a star surrounding my left eye. There are also stars on my sides and back. My eyes are a soft, lime and grass-colored hue, that search you gently.

• Keep in mind that, depending on how they look, it will decide which Clan they are in (if they're a cat.) So, if it's a blue cat, it will most definately go in TwilightClan, if it has four or more colors, TornadoClan, and so on. So, which Clan are they in? Or are they a rogue, loner, or kittypet?: TornadoClan
  
  
• What rank do they have? : Apprentice
  
  
• What's their personality? At least 7 sentences for warriors, 9 for leaders, 8 for deputies and medicine cats, 5 for apprentices and under.:
  

  I am about as careless as the other apprentices, but I also have goals and dreams I hope to fulfill before I join StarClan. I have the same fiery temper as my mother, and the same strength and calm wisdom as my grandfather. I do not believe or disbelieve in peace. I wish I could say I've been raised to be strong all my life, no matter the consequences or situations. I make sure to show no emotion on my face or in my voice. I am the typical TornadoClanner- always eager to be off, rather than stationary. I cannot stay still for long, and am very adventurous. I can laid-back, though, too, but not always willing to make a friend. It is hard to get on my "good" side, but when you do, you're in for a surprise. I'm not one to go out of my way to make someone angry. I'm silent often and can also get depressed at times.
  
  I'm often enough mistaken for an evil, vile creature that will rip out your organs as soon as look at you, but I am not. [That's what the kittypets and rogues think of me- because of my scars.] I am not really a good fighter, even when I need to be. If you ever need to talk, I will listen. I will do whatever I can to help, and am loyal to those I call friend. I do have a fiery temper, and when it is triggered, I will strike. I mostly lash out with words, but I will occasionally land a well-placed blow to anyone near enough. I hide a lot of things from my few friends- my story is not something I want many to know. I am full of empathy, much beyond my age. I will not think you are crazy if you come to me and ask to talk- after all, I was abused- so I pretty much know what you are going through. Somehow, I've stayed strong enough through this part of my life.
  
  Even though the Clans do not look to StarClan, I still believe that there has to be someone watching over us and keeping us safe no matter if they can control the forest or not. I have hidden this belief from my Clanmates and my family, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I am crazy and hyper like the rest of my Clanmates, in spite of my depression.

• Your character's history. At least 10 sentences (around 1 1/2 paragraphs), 12 for leaders. Tell how they got here, how they got their coat color, or if they are a leader, how they came to lead their Clan, anything like that. :
  

  I was born in TornadoClan's nursery, to my father Eternalfur, and my mother Whispersong. they had been born with odd-colored fur and strange patterns, and had decided to live in TornadoClan, where cats with similar coats- odd colors and weird patterns- had gone to live. My fur was a soft, buttery yellow, with the same dark blue spots as I have now, and the same stars scattered across my body and around my eye. I was an only kit, and was influenced greatly by the amount of attention I received from them. I inherited my grandfather's quiet wisdom and calm sense of life, and my mother's fiery temper. I closely watched my parents in everything they did, and much of my mannerisms I've picked up from them- at least, mother. I was named for my grandfather, Saltwhisker, a well-respected senior warrior.
  
  My grandfather, Wingedchant, took much interest in me, and when I was not around my parents or friends, he told me stories of his own youth. He remembered to me a beautiful sunny day when he had been out walking. He had seen the beautiful she-cat named Wrenlight. He told me of how they met, and fell in love, and bore my mother and aunt. I looked up to him, and learned much from him. If I had problems, I could go to him and he would put me right again. I loved my mother dearly, but she couldn't stop my father from doing what he did to me. They didn't try to help me with such 'idle issues as friendship and love', as father called them.
  
  One day, I and my grandparents had been playing in the territory when out of nowhere came father. Saltwhisker and Wrenlight pushed themselves in front of me, in an attempt to protect me. Eternalfur then reached out a large, hooked paw and slapped Wrenlight away. Saltwhisker now had his girl and his grandson to protect. He leaped briefly to grandmother's aid, then turned around to me.
  
  Myself, at the age of five moons, had not had the formal training that the apprentices received to defend themselves. Seeing father so close, so angry, I panicked. I pushed myself in front of Saltwhisker, ignoring his grunts of surprise. But it was too much for me, and as I lay weakened, painful, on the earth, father had already killed Wrenlight- grandmother. Saltwhisker had tried to save her, but it was too late. Myself, being so young and inexperienced, was no match for my warrior father.
  
  Grandfather could not save me, despite his own efforts. With one swift blow, father had laced me with cuts all along my young body. I lay on the ground, bleeding out my life's blood, staring up to the heavens and to grandfather. "I... love you, Saltwhisker. Tell mother... that I miss her and love her." I said, breathing what I though was my last breath. But I was not gone forever. Thankfully, the medicine cat had been near, and had rushed to save me. I thank StarClan to this day for allowing me to live.
  
  When I awoke later, in the medicine cat's den, I found that I'd not, in fact, left the world forever. My mother and grandfather stood around me, watching me. The medicine cat had put me on watch, and was allowing my family and friends to visit me. Grandfather told us later that night what happened after we were rushed back to the camp. Still to this day I have no clue as to why father attacked me. It has been two moons since that day, and I am now seven moons old. Mother died of a broken heart. Of all my family, Saltwhisker is the only one left still alive, that I know about.
