Beechhaze

Adoptable

Name: Beechhaze

Age: Around 26-28 moons, probably.

Gender: male

Clan/residence: CC

Rank: Warrior

Appearance: large, dark brown tabby tom with long, thick, ragged fur.

Personality: he tends to be standoffish and independent, and it can be hard for others to approach him. He seems almost like a shadow (no pun intended), and has an air of mystery around him. He tried his best to be a good son and big brother, but he fails miserably every time he tries, and he feels like an alien in the family. He loves both of his parents, and he loves how patient they are with him, but he also feels like he failed them, and he feels like they just put up with him because they have to. Much like his mother, emotions are difficult for him to express, though it's a lot worse for him. He rarely, if ever, shows much emotion, though that might be in part because he just doesn't know what to feel or how to behave around others. He used to try to be better, but conversation always ended before it began, at least when it came to his little brother. With his mother, he doesn't feel like he needs to fill the silence. She was always a silent pillar of support for him. With his father, well, it's more complicated. His father tries so hard to cheer him up, but somehow it just ends up making him feel worse. Bumblepaw and him hardly look in each others' directions. Bumblepaw looks up to him, and he doesn't know why. He was always an awful big brother, and never really spent much time with him. They always stood in awkward silence when they were together.

Then Myrtlepaw. She was talkative and cheerful like Hootstep, but it didn't feel like she talked to him just because she had to. Maybe that was because she also never said anything she didn't mean. She filled the air with her chatter, and he didn't feel like he had to say anything. He didn't deserve a sister like her.

History (optional): I can't wait to unpack whatever history I come up with for him.

Other: Mental illness, no idea what kind. I love this entire family. I also only had a blurry image of an anthropomorphic cat leaning against a doorframe, facing away and half of him disappearing behind it in my mind, and based his entire personality off that one picture. I did that for all these characters except Bumblepaw, though. Myrtlepaw's entire personality was based off a GIF, not one still image. So all except those two.

He is genetically accurate.
