Age: 3 Moons (Born in leafbare #4)
Gender: Tom
Clan: StoneClan
Rank: Kit
Description:
Kestrelkit takes after his father in appearance; with a ticked tawny coat, some of the tabby markings still visible on his pelt are primarily on his front and back legs. He has the distinctive M marking on his forehead, and his ear-tips are darkly flecked. A shadow of his grandfather's tabby coat, his back and legs are blackish-brown, while his underbelly and the insides of his limbs are tawny, appearing almost honey-colored in direct sunlight.
He is small and leggy as a kit, but he already has some of his adult features coming in; namely a strong muzzle, his face appearing older than the rest of him at times, making for a weird juxtaposition with his kittenish body. The kitten plumpness is fading away, leaving skinny, soft muscles underneath his downy fur.
Kestrelkit's eyes are a subdued shade of amber, facial features lightened by the pale cream-hued fur under his eyes and along his muzzle.
As an adult, he will be lighter in build than his father, but tall and with strong legs for jumping, climbing and fighting. He will be at a disadvantage in the cold seasons, with his thin coat, but resilience runs in his blood, and there's plenty of time for Kestrelkit to get acclimated.
Description Summary: Ticked tawny tom with light-amber eyes and brown bands on his legs and throat.
Personality:
Cooperative - a good friend, a loving son and a generally easygoing tom, he gets along with most cats—when he's not being annoying. Immature and still very young, Kestrelkit may not understand the elders or the older warriors very much, but if they ask for his help, he's eager to lend a paw. Listening on the other hand...
Protective - Growing up during the greencough scare of Leafbare #4, he's had it ingrained into his being that he has to protect his sister, Meadowkit, and anyone else that's too weak to protect themselves. He's known to take on way too much to handle if it means someone else doesn't have to.
Patriotic - StoneClan is the best Clan. There is nothing on earth or in StarClan that will make him change his mind. He is immensely proud to be Eagletalon's and Duskflower's son. It doesn't make him arrogant, however, he's very intimidated by his father's legacy and possibly living up to it — but it does mean he's easy to rile. Just say something negative about his Clan within ear shot, you'll get a clawful in no time at all.
Funny - Kestrelkit's something of a 'class clown'. He likes making others laugh, even if it comes at the expense of his own dignity and pride. He'll crack a joke (sometimes inappropriate) and can't wait to see the reaction. He's been known to ruin a few moods with his inappropriate jokester humor, but he means well.
Whiny - if Kestrelkit doesn't want to do something, or worse, thinks what he's doing is really unfair, he won't keep quiet about it. Even after scolded, he'll drag his feet and tail, mumbling under his breath about how it's all so stupid and that he doesn't want to. With luck, Kestrelkit will grow out of the whining.Probably not.
He can make a mountain out of a molehill if given half the chance.
Ungraceful & Insecure - Being more legs than anything else right now, Kestrelkit is clumsy to the point where he's a slight hazard to himself. At first it hurt that he was laughed at, but Kestrelkit learned that it wasn't such a bad thing to make others laugh every time he takes a mistake. This is linked to his insecurity, however. Kestrelkit worries he isn't going to be a very good warrior, and the laughter he gets reinforces this, but he's trying not to let it get to him.
Impulsive & Inattentive - StarClan help the cat he gets for a mentor. Kestrelkit seems to have trouble paying attention for very long. In part, it's his age, and that he doesn't take well to teaching styles that in corporate a lot of tell and not enough show. He has to make mistakes (and he will make a lot of them) and learn as he goes. He'll never be a perfect student, but he's dedicated.
When he isn't rushing headfirst into danger or leaping before he looks.
Prejudiced - the downside of being so prideful of his Clan and family, is that he will turn up his nose at other Clans. Especially LightningClan and RainClan. He thinks even less of them than he does NightClan, and with a stubborn refusal to change his mind, Kestrelkit will ruffle more than a few pelts at the next Gathering.
History:
Duskflower and Eagletalon were an unlikely but well-approved-of pairing. Eagletalon was twenty-four moons older than she, but it was hardly the scandal it would've been if they'd taken an interest when she was fresh out of the apprentices' den. Duskflower's previous mate, Silverstorm, had been dead for a few seasons, and her two daughters, Smokestorm and Mistcloud, were still relatively young warriors.
The stars aligned, and Duskflower and Eagletalon began to spend more time together. What started off as a friendship quickly blossomed into something much more; they had a few adventures worth telling their kits about, namely the time they were chased by an eagle and had to hide out for a few hours.
When enough moons had passed, Eagletalon put in a request to Dawnblossom, Duskflower's sister and medicine cat. Dawnblossom was able to speak to Silverstorm and get the StarClan warrior's permission. Eagletalon and Duskflower have been happily matched ever since, and welcomed two new lives into the world near the end of leafbare: Kestrelkit and Meadowkit.
Kestrelkit's life thus far has been easy, and he's both fearing and looking forward to his apprenticeship. It's daunting to fill his father's paw-steps, but he's eager for the chance to prove himself. Everything was going fine, until the greencough epidemic struck StoneClan. His mother, Duskflower, is very sick, and even his sister, his father and now himself, are all showing signs of coughing.
He may be too young to fully understand everything going on, but Kestrelkit knows deep in his heart that this is no laughing matter.
