SCORPIONPAW

thunderclan - the rebel

appearance: scorpion is of average height with a stocky build and short, coarse fur. he’s a dusty brown classic tabby with a darker brown muzzle and paws. he has a white chest, belly, and tail tip. his eyes are a grey-ish blue, almost slate-like in color.scars/deformities: kink in tailskills: scorpion is a quick thinker with even quicker reflexes. he’s good at reading his opponents in conversation and battle. he is very difficult to catch off guard and decisive in his movements. he is also talented at focusing his strength into brutally powerful blows, if aimed correctly. however, his tense posture makes him less agile than other warriors, and he can’t keep up with more nimble fighters. his hunting is also lacking, as he has little patience for tracking and his tail often gives him away to prey in the vicinity.personality: scorpion is an acquired taste to be sure, always with a biting remark and a witty comeback. he challenges authority indirectly, wanting to be a part of the system without fully understanding the system. he struggles to trust others and it takes him a while to warm to even his own clanmates. even when he does finally begin to open up, the transition can be difficult to see with the naked eye. he is quick to action but slow to express his emotions, preferring to put up a guard of sarcasm and shallow insults instead. but he is fiercely protective and has a soft spot for those who can’t defend themselves, rooted in a history of loss from a young age.quirks:
- the tip of scorpion’s tail flips upwards at an unnatural angle even when relaxed, giving him his name
- scorpion is incapable of lying, a trait he has fully embraced. attempting to lie generates a physical reaction of retching.
- scorpion despises sleeping, dreading the time for it every day. this is because his dreams are filled with memories of his deceased sister, like visions he can never quite remember.

work in progressscorpionpaw was born in shadowclan to an unknown father. whether or not his mother herself knew the tom's identity is also unclear. he had a single littermate, beetlekit. she was small and sickly, and passed away just weeks before her apprentice ceremony. when their mother left camp to bury her, she never returned. scorpionpaw was left orphaned as far as he knew, abandoned to start the journey into apprenticeship alone.scorpionpaw began having restless nights shortly after the death of his sister, in which his memories of her would create an indistinguishable montage he could never quite remember in the mornings.he was assigned sweetswan as a mentor during his apprenticeship ceremony.
