Hootstep

Adoptable; fostered by Shadow

Name: Hootstep

Age: Around 54 moons

Gender: male

Clan/residence: CC

Rank: Warrior

Appearance: silver classic tabby tom with half a tail and green eyes

Personality: I'm less sure about his personality. I do know he is very supportive and empathetic with his friends and family, and much more open with his emotions than Shaderunner is. He compliments her well, taking life a lot more seriously and being more emotionally driven. He suffers from a lot of anxiety, and tends to blame himself for things that happen, even if he couldn't have prevented them. He won't even try to defend or speak up for himself if he does, because he believes that he deserves it. He tries to make others laugh and feel loved, though he doesn't always do the same for himself. If others notice he's down and try to cheer him up, it usually doesn't work. That's one reason why he likes Shaderunner: she is blunt and doesn't try to downplay his feelings. She says what she thinks, and somehow that's a lot more helpful to him than if someone tries to cheer him up. More genuine. (He looks up to her, and probably doesn't realize that she wishes she could be more like him sometimes.) They don't have a straight and easy relationship, as there are definitely things they disagree or clash over, but they love each other still. and even if they fight, Hootstep tends to forgive easily. Hootstep can be very protective. He may not seem it, but he an be a fierce fighter if he needs to be, especially if it is to protect those he cares about, including his home and clanmates.

History (optional): I'm sure there's a lot

Other: I had even less in mind for him from the start than I did Shaderunner. A very, very vague idea. I'm okay with all this. Also, I'm putting him up for adoption. I want him to exist, and I love his character, but I don't think I'll use him much.

Oh, and those two are mates, if it wasn't obvious. Parents of Myrtlepaw, Bumblepaw, and Beechhaze (who I think really hates his name: I know I do).

Mentored his daughter, Myrtlepaw.
