.Description.

A hybrid of his parents' body types, Bonepaw is neither lean nor stocky, but exactly in the middle. Bonepaw's muzzle is wide but evenly proportioned, right down to his pink nose. He inherited his father's broad shoulders, but his mother's thicker, fluffier coat. White as snow, he has also taken on his father's signature mismatched eyes, with the left being lake-blue, and the right being an attractive greenish-gold. It's no surprise that he attracts quite a bit of attention from the opposite sex, and even a few admirers from within his own gender.

He's incredibly aware of how good-looking he is, and though his father prides himself on his collection of scars, Bonepaw is loath to suffer any lasting damage to himself. He can fight well, but this agile warrior much prefers a more cunning approach to winning his battles than going in for the kill.

.Personality.

With a great legacy comes great...laziness. This may be a surprise to many, but Bonepaw is both quite alike and very different from his fabled father, Blackwolf. Apathetic, narcissistic and difficult to motivate, he prefers to ride his father's coattails of victory to actually getting out and making a proper name for himself.

He has none of his sister's drive, or if he does, it's very difficult to engage. Any mentor of his will find that he is often the last to leave the apprentices' den (he is a devout believer in 'sleeping in') and the quickest to retire at the end of the day. It's a shame that he's so lazy, given that he actually possesses great talent when it comes to combat. Perhaps it's because of this that he believes he can get away with the bare minimum everywhere else.

Bonepaw follows in his notoriously flirtatious uncle's ways. When he doesn't want to do something, preferring to designate an unpleasant task to a 'lesser' apprentice, Bonepaw will charm and flirt until he gets what he wants. Gender has little to do with it, though his own personal preferences are for she-cats. If a charismatic smile sent one tom's way or a deliberate brush of his pelt against another she-cat's will convince them to do his bidding, then he has no qualms with doing so.

Bonepaw will also feign friendships with cats of other Clans if he needs to, preferring to utilize his notable intelligence over his strength. When pressed to fight, however, he does not tend to hold back out of consideration for his opponent, but out of a reluctance to be injured himself. With a pelt as white as his, it's easy to notice when it's dirty or soiled with blood. That's all there is to it.

.History.

Contrary to popular belief, Bonepaw's birth was not heralded by fanfare and war drums. It was a normal kitting, with Bonekit arriving first, followed by his sister Hollykit, and the runt of the litter, Coyotekit. From the beginning, Bonekit could boast nothing more than an average kithood; he wrestled with his sister and brother, he listened to exciting stories of his father's many conquests, and he inherited a healthy dose of sarcasm from his mother.

As he neared his apprenticeship, certain characteristics began to crop up more and more. Bonekit soon found that he abhorred actual manual labor, and that was the only reason why he often opted out of Hollykit's crazier schemes to escape the nursery or sneak into Smokefur's den. His apprentice ceremony was met with excitement, yes, but as soon as he moved into the apprentices' den and that first early-morning wake-up call arrived, Bonepaw had been less than impressed with his new Clan role.

No one had said it would be this much work.

Mentored by Dimgaze, the two get along fairly well, though Bonepaw would be the last cat to describe their relationship as 'endearing', as some mentor and apprentice relationships were known to be. Both toms seem to have approached Bonepaw's apprenticeship with no nonsense, and that's exactly how he prefers it.

.Other.

Bonepaw considers himself close with his uncle Spiriteye, and the older tom is one of the few cats who gets to know the real Bonepaw.
