Appearance:
Waveheart is a lanky yet muscled medium haired tom. The long legs make him taller than many cats, and that combined with his muscular body almost makes him seem too intimidating, but he has a kind and curious expression that makes him easily approachable instead. His fur is a bit wiry, but sleek against his body when in the water or wet. When he was younger his long limbs gave him trouble, but now that he has grown into them they have become a valuable asset.
Waveheart’s coat is a light and dark gray with a pretty swirling tabby pattern. His front paws are a lighter gray and his back are darker, while his tail has a dark gray tip and his ears have dark gray tips as well. His nose is a slightly darker pink than his ears, which have some white fluff poking out. His eyes are a murky yellow-green color. Across his chest lie three long scars from a badger, and though his fur is longer the scars still tend to stand out distinctly. By some StarClan given miracle, the injury managed to leave no lasting effects.
Personality
Positive Traits: • Caring • Open-Minded • Observant | Negative Traits: • Quiet • Overly Cautious • “Rule Strict” |
Personality:
Waveheart was raised with gentle, friendly, and caring parents, traits which rubbed off onto him. He is never one to turn away a cat in need, and he tries to be accepting of anything a cat may be willing to tell him; he’s very easy to talk to, and often very sympathetic and empathetic. His experience of watching and not speaking gave him particularly good observant ability over his apprentice and early warrior moons. His aspect has managed to stick with him through travels and fights for a life of survival.
No cat will ever be the first to tell him he is quiet. Despite being deputy, he is not one to speak up in public all too often; that’s mostly left to Pebblestar, being his mate and leader, both in leadership situations and others. This isn’t to say that he doesn’t express his opinions and ideas, more that he works better in the shadows.
When Waveheart was younger, he was a rather anxious tom. Although through a multitude of things this aspect of him has faded more into excessive, and sometimes a bit annoying, caution. His caution aligns intriguingly with another aspect of him that is rather rule abiding; he isn’t one to ever want to stray from the set aspects of Clan life, making the transition with the loners and rogues to be a bit nervous.

Character Background
History:
Waveheart was born to Seashade and Piperfeather, the only kit of the litter. His mother, Piperfeather, doted on him, happy that her kit wasn’t as troublesome as most kits tended to be. Seashade was a very involved father, giving Waveheart a close relationship with both his parents. He was a content and calm kit, happy to sit and watch the water all day, then listen to it all night.
When he was made an apprentice, apprenticed to Swiftcurrent, he was eager to finally be able to learn to swim and interact with the ocean he watched as a kit. As he grew and interacted with more cats, though, his insecure emotions began to show more and more. The ocean waters became his comfort place. He also found a significant struggle in fighting, and with Clan tensions tainting his training, he knew he had to push through this struggle. Luckily, he did, with the name Waveheart to show for it.
The very next day after gaining his warrior name, though, a badger attacked ShellClan camp; the young warrior was struck trying to protect a clanmate, Pebblepaw, who was slowly but surely beginning to become more than that. His healing took a long time, but in that time the two were able to bond more and more, watching sunsets and swimming the ocean together. Their relationship took a sharp, momentary turn when Waveheart discovered a tom by the name of Rattledance, and what he also meant to Pebbleshimmer.
In the end, Pebbleshimmer and Waveheart became mates; but Waveheart knew what Rattledance meant to Pebbleshimmer, and if there was the chance things could work out a different way, he wouldn’t stop it. He only wanted her to be happy, wherever that led them.
As it turned out, the two would be led a different way, far from what they had known. The dreams came as a shock to the gray tom; after all, why him? It didn’t take long for Pebbleshimmer to convince him to follow it, after he learned of others having the same dream… including Rattledance. For Waveheart, it was awkward in the beginning, mostly because he simply didn’t know what the brown tabby tom thought of him, or Pebbleshimmer for that matter.
One night the two toms got to talking, and seemed to make a type of “peace” with one another. Rattledance seemed to approve of the two as mates, but also seemed almost paranoid about something that night. The next day included travel along a cliff side, not the best idea for Waveheart in general, but when the rock started falling beneath his paws the gray tom thought for sure his journey was over. A brown blur and a sharp shove later he was on solid ground, watching Rattledance hang on for just a moment, jaw opening to say:
“Keep her happy, alright?”
Waveheart pushed through the last of the journey, resolving to keep to Rattledance’s words to him. When the Clan cats began to settle. There were some harsh tensions and battles that grew in the settling between the Clan cats and the loners already living there, but eventually a fragile peace let the Clans begin growing. It was another shock altogether when Pebblestar chose Waveheart as her deputy of MossClan.
Deep down, the tom knew it made sense - he was at least that aware of how the two reflected each other - but it was still just… a shock. And yet, he accepted, and now simply hopes to help the Clan however it needs, for now and for future cats to live peacefully and happily. Waveheart went from the anxious, stuttering apprentice to a cautious and caring deputy, moons away from where he began.
