Name: Sandkit => Sandpaw [Sandblaze]
Age: 48 moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: StoneClan
Rank: Former Medicine Cat
Picture: Kit Image & Adult Image
Description: This kit is tiny; the smallest of his litter. Sandkit is a tiny ball of orange and red and gold and white with stripes and a white tummy. He's fluffy but rather he'll stay that way it's hard to tell at his current age. He's a tad thin and very clumsy - he's barely walking at this stage - but whose to say he won't end up as powerfully built as his deceased father. His eyes are a dark green and his tail is thin and just as fluffy as the rest of him. When he calls for his mother, often all that comes out are tiny squeaks that Silverglade finds adorable but frustrate Sandkit.
--
Well...time changes everything and it has certainly changed Sandblaze. He's grown up into a fine tom, all lean lines and long legs, but this moons haven't been all kind to him. His green eyes are darker now, and some of the stripes across his body are more pronounced, but his tail is still as fluffy as his mothers. He didn't end up being very tall and instead is lean and long limbed. Being on the smaller side for a tom, he carries himself a bit more feminine than he means to. With recent events rendering him mostly deaf, his white tipped ears now tend to move constantly as if hoping he'll hear something again. Instead he's easier to startle and his steps are much more careful.
Description Summary: A lean, long limbed orange tabby with dark green eyes.
Personality: At this age he's still developing the personality he'll end up with. For now, he's quiet and thoughtful but still curious about the world around him. Once he is used to someone, he'll talk to them constantly without stop until they get away from him. He's always full of questions and always wanting to learn new things. Sandkit is very aware that his small size makes him vulnerable but doesn't let it stop him from doing things that are normal for a kit. He waddles and plays and falls over and gets back up again, all with laughter and a happy heart. He is very close to his mother, Silverglade, and would rather at this point in his life remain close to her rather than on his own.
Sandkit hates being alone, and will tag along with any adult that will let him; provided his mother approves of such a thing. He'll stay in the nursery when put there, but if not watched carefully Sandkit can and will wander off to explore the world around him. He is faintly aware there is danger, but like all young kits, he doesn't really understand that those dangers can kill him. He's always sniffing at everything from plants to bugs and likes to chase tails and climb on unsuspecting adults. Since the fire that destroyed his home and killed his family; he's been a lot more subdued than is normal for him.
--
Even though he grew up into a strong and confident Medicine Cat, full of compassion and patience for those he would help, not all things have been good for Sandblaze. With the loss of his hearing he's more closed off and aloof from everyone around him. He took the loss with dignity when before the clan, but now that he's away from the ceremony he's become cynical and cranky; preferring to be left alone. He'll give a tongue lashing to any that speak wrongly near him and isn't afraid to take a swipe at any cat stupid enough to push him and ignore his clear warning to back off.
History: Sandkit hasn't been alive very long but in the short time since he was born he's led a very sheltered life. He was born in some caves surrounded by tall dry grass and a small group of cats that took care of each other. His parents were both loners themselves; Silverglade and Dappleback. He has three siblings; two brothers and a sister, that were all much larger than him but still played with him just as if he was no different from them. The rest of the adults seemed to tolerate him, but he felt they didn't like him so mostly he stayed near his mother.
Then one night as his mother hunted for food and he rested with his father and siblings, there was a terrible smell then his father was shouting and everyone to run; something about a thing called fire. He was tossed outside and turned around to see the end of the rest of his family. He didn't understand why the red stuff hurt and took his family from him, but he did understand enough to toddle away as quickly as his little legs could take him. He called for his mother endlessly; knowing only she would come save him now, and she did.
Now they travel and his mother takes care of him, but they have no home. It's cold often and he's hungry a lot, but his mother tries her best. He's still nursing, but he knows he has to get bigger fast or his mother will disappear too like everyone else. He's scared now, and wants to go back home; he doesn't really understand that there is no home anymore.

Sandkit grew quickly and soon became Sandpaw, being chosen as the Apprentice to the Medicine Cat Dawnblossom. He adored his mentor and felt she was a great hero he wanted to emulate. He was excited to learn everything he could to help others and showed himself as a compassionate young tom to those that needed him most. Eventually with time he became a full Medicine Cat and earned himself the name Sandblaze after overcoming his fear of fire to save his mother.
Time saw the coming of greencough and the darkest time of his life to date. He lost patients and grieved with the clan over each loss. Still he kept his hopes up and became a quiet and confident Medicine Cat that others could rely on. Eventually came the fox attacks and the end to life as he knew it. First it was his beloved Mentor Dawnblossom that was killed, then came the death of Eagletalon, which was hard on him as well. Still he kept going for his clan that needed him, but nothing could have prepared him for the worst that was to come.
He would eventually begin to train an Apprentice of his own after meeting a young kit that reminded him much of how he used to be. Ebonykit started her training with him at six moons old and was with Sandblaze all the time after that. Ebonypaw was just as eager to learn as he could be and he took to teaching her with a quiet glee to share the lessons once taught to him by Dawnblossom. During one leafbare, he fell into an icy river. He got out safely but was beset with ear infections quite often after that.
However, as his young apprentice learned and grew, his ear infections kept coming back and getting worse and worse. It made him a bit sharper with her sometimes, but he managed to push through it. Eventually he felt she was ready and he presented her to one and all with her new name Ebonyheart. She would be a fine Medicine Cat, he felt, and just in time too because he noticed he wasn't hearing everything being said to him. He was startled by things he should have heard, and that was when his heart sank as he realized something horrible; he was losing his hearing.
He had to figure this was all part of StarClan's plan though so he did what was best for the clan even though it broke his heart all to pieces; he stepped down as Medicine Cat and into the Elder's Den. This event changed him and left him devastated even as he tried to stay positive. The worse his hearing has gotten though the more cynical and cranky he's gotten. He hates to be this way, but he feels so helpless and useless now; like that lost little kit from so long ago. Who knows where the future will take him now, only StarClan knows.
Other: Sandkit is afraid of fire. He also has nightmares from the fire that killed his family. What his mother doesn't know is that he saw his siblings and father burn and slowly die while they couldn't escape. He only lives because his father threw him out of the cave before he fell.

Due to constant ear infections caused by a fall into icy water, Sandblaze has lost most of his hearing and is going deaf.
