DETAILED INFORMATION [attr="class","box1"]APPEARANCE Summary » A black and white tom with round, yellow eyes. Lightningflash's two front paws lead from a raven black to small white socks. He is built for speed, and he could outrun most spry young LightningClan apprentices. Through a lifetime of racing his brother through fields for amusement, Lightningflash has built up an impressive stamina. He has a long, thick tail that is perfect for balancing as he runs. His tufted tail is as dark as the majority of his coat, ending with a pure white tip. His dark face highlight the abrupt yellow of his round eyes. They seem almost owl-like in appearance, and stand out against his murky, handsome features. Lightningflash naturally has a slight build, with strong back legs that unlike the rest of him, are painted entirely white. His legs are somewhat stubby and thick, giving him both the impression of weakness and of strength all at once. Lightningflash is entirely indistinguishable from his brother, the two appear almost as the mirror image of the other. Lightningflash's muzzle is split evenly into black and white sections, but one part tapering off in a straight line from his nose up past his eyes. He has small, pointed black ears, which always swivel towards the most interesting thing in the vicinity. He has lengthy, downy white whiskers that trail from his muzzle downwards, twitching with every smile and laugh. PERSONALITY Lightningflash is very obvious about his thoughts and feelings. Even when he tries to, he is terrible at keeping his intentions hidden. It is very easy to tell exactly how he feels about other cats and exactly where he stands in any given situation. His expressions are very animated, every emotion he feels is immediately clear on his face. Nothing he feels is buried deep inside, and is always displayed with the full blast of raw and genuine emotion. He is unpatriotic, and will continue to feel this way even after he eventually becomes a clan cat. Having been born and raised as a loner, he doesn't understand the pride that clan cats take in their clan, and the deep connection they feel to it. He views the clans as families, not as specific and separate groups. He doesn't understand why any cat would be proud of where they are born or where they come from, as it is not really an achievement of that particular cat. It all seems rather silly to him, the way the clans squabble and fight. He believes that if they just learned to work together, then all cats would benefit equally. He sees all other cats as important, even those outside of his own clan. He wouldn't hesitate to help others with whatever it was they needed, even an "enemy". He mentally keeps himself separate from the silly clan-specific conflicts. Lightningflash is reactionary, preferring to take action in the moment rather than think and plan ahead. He responds to his environment and lets the actions and words of others influence his own paws. He does things in response to other things, and it is rarely any different. He can be very stubborn, and sticks by his words and opinions no matter what. It is very hard to get this tom to budge on anything. He has firm, rigid opinions and is not open to changing them. Flash is very weak-willed in that he finds it very hard to resist the influence of his own impulses. He is not religious, and believes in neither a higher power nor an afterlife. Ashpaw has mentioned StarClan to him, but Flash doesn't really believe in them. He thinks that religion and spirituality is mostly a comforting story or legend that cats tell eachother to chase away the fear of death. When he looks up to the stars, he just sees the dark and empty black of the night sky, not the twinkling spirits of lost cats. Flash has a very fanciful view of the world. He sees warriors as noble heroes, and his entire perception of the clans is very fantastical. He likens himself to a noble knight, and his dreams of grandeur and heroism may one day get him into trouble. He sees the world in a dreamy haze, and despite his lack of belief in magic his belief in pure-hearted warrior cats is strong. Lightningflash is optimistic, loving to look on the bright side. He never gives up, and always pushes himself to believe that the best outcome is possible out of everything. No matter what the odds, Lightningflash will never give up. He is an amusing and fun-loving cat. He loves to put smiles on other's faces and he goes out of his way to make others laugh. He can be disobedient, slow to follow orders if at all. He likes to be his own cat and have his own autonomy, and trusts his own gut above all others. Though he has a more playful, laid back attitude, Lightningflash is very proud, which can be a great boost to his confidence. He likes to be the best, and sees nearly everything in life as a game or a competition. He is determined and loyal, and finds it very hard to give up. He sticks by his friends and family no matter what, and considers any small betrayal a serious breach of trust. Flash is very excitable, and his energy is seemingly boundless. He never slows down and inaction or boredom drives him crazy. He is a very amiable tom, he loves to be friendly towards other cats and build new relationships. His playful and easily distracted nature give him an immature, kit-like quality that many cats find endearing. RELATIONSHIPS Mother ▸ Wander. Brother ▸ Tumbleheart. [bio] Adoptive brother ▸ Ashpaw. [bio] Niece ▸ Yewkit. [bio] Nephew ▸ Bonekit. [bio] HISTORY Lightningflash is Tumbleheart's twin brother. The two have been inseparable since birth, all the way up to adulthood. Flash and Tumble were both born to a loner she-cat named Wander, whose name suited every bit of her personality. The tom that fathered them was never present, and Wander never told them his name or what he looked like. Flash was named after his personality, just like his mother Wander was. He was always the first to everything, first born, first to start walking and talking, first to catch prey and first to wake every morning. His speedy and impatient nature suited his name very much, and Flash has always had a bit of an ego boost because of it. He is a bit leaner than his twin brother, and is notably fast. He runs so fast that his paws seem to scarcely skim the ground. He lived a mostly peaceful, uneventful life with his mother and brother, until one day he and his mother spotted a fox. At first they thought it was dragging a rabbit, but when they moved closer, they saw that it was actually a small, silver cat. The three loners worked as a family to save the tom from the ginger animal, and drove it off. The three toms began making their way back to the valley, where Ashpaw was taking both of them to join StoneClan. Flash was very reluctant to leave his mother, but Wander insisted that they needed to build their own lives and find their own paths. Though Ashpaw was younger than Lightningflash, he had a lot of admiration for him and looked up to him a bit. Their journey didn't come without challenges. Several times they had to face obstacles together, including Tumble's bad habit of getting stuck in trees. But all three toms perservered, and eventually found themselves on StoneClan territory. They were found by Palewing and Beetlejaw, who were both shocked to see Ashpaw again. Ashpaw was horrified to find that Hawkstar was dead, his place taken by the newly named Smokestar. Flash and Tumble relayed the story of their daring rescue to the StoneClan cats, who accepted the two loners into their ranks. Flash was named Lightningflash, and Tumble was named Tumbleheart. The moons went by and time marched forward. Lightningflash filled his days with endless learning about the ways of the Clan, some strange, some honourable. He noticed that some cats were not quite so fond of the newly named loners, and shunned them whenever he attempted to speak. He tried to ignore it, as he didn't want to cause unneeded conflict. Newleaf came, and with it, the rains. The mountains of StoneClan's home became unstable, unpredictable. Smokestar was determined not to let this instability drive her Clan to starvation in the earliest moons following Leaf-bare, so he continued to bring out hunting patrols into the treacherous territory. Lightningflash had voluneteered for one such patrol when he was instructed to remain at camp. He accepted, deciding instead to go spend time with Yewkit and Bonekit, Tumbleheart's young kittens that had been born several moons earlier. That was the last time Lightningflash ever saw Smokestar or the other cats on that patrol. A dreadful mudslide took all nine of her lives, and those of her warriors. Lightningflash had been part of the patrol that raced to their rescue, desperately trying to dig them up. Unfortunately, there were few survivors. That fateful day had marked Lightningflash. Never had he seen so much death and destruction, and never had he felt so united with his clanmates in their shared grief. He sat at his first ever vigil that night, his heart heavy with uncharacteristic hopelessness. Birdtalon was named the new leader of StoneClan, recieving the name Birdstar. Lightningflash did not know the tom well, but he could tell he was a popular choice among the other warriors. To Lightningflash's surprise, Birdstar showed respect, not distrust, towards his and his brother's roots. On patrols further up the mountains, Birdstar would consult Lightningflash on the off-chance that he had passed through those areas when he was a loner. This trust and confidence gradually made him feel more apart of the Clan, and his respect for Birdstar grew with each passing day.
