Skunkstreak
Mossclan ∙ Warrior ∙ Male ∙ 17 moons
Appearance
Description sentence:
A black, rufescent tom with striking white markings
☆☆☆
Gene String: N/A
Appearance:
It’s no surprise to anyone where his name originates from— for it seems his noticeably white markings stick out against his otherwise dark appearance. Sporting a stripe that runs from his nose to his bushy tail, he gives off the resemblance of a skunk. He also has some white markings on his front feet and lower back, the marbled tabby gene making an appearance through these very few white splotches.
His ears are almost always pointed ahead, as if on the alert— though long like his mother’s, they are rounded rather than pointed. His paw pads are a soft pink in color.
His base coat is black with a red sheen, rufescent in nature when one notices the slight tint he has on his body save for his limbs, face, a part of his chest, and tail.
Skunkstreak’s inherited a fine set of legs— though his paws and legs are slim, he is strong— a graceful and delicate build perfect for hunting and hit-and-run combat. Though he isn’t towering, he certainly isn’t tiny— just average in height, with a well groomed (scruffy when not taken better care of) pelt and a more bushy tail. One will notice he sports just a touch of a more heavy-set belly on his otherwise slim physique. His eyes are a soft green in color.
Personality
Positive Traits: • Sociable; Expressive • Disciplined; Ambitious • Intelligent | Negative Traits: •Workaholic; Restless • Out-spoken; Opinionated • Realistic |
Personality:
Skunkstreak’s upbringing is most likely the culprit of his behaviors— for he is nothing short of ambitious (most likely to push out the negative image his father left in he and Ebonyclaw’s wake), and aspires to do his very best on most matters. With elegant though somewhat strict teachings, Ebonyclaw has taught her son properly of what it means to respect others and how to behave accordingly (with the exception of his natural instinct to give in his opinion). A precocious tom, no doubt— for he seems to grasp on especially well to strategy and being something of the practical type. With a voice always bursting to be heard, Skunkstreak is an extroverted figure— always in the midst of telling stories, casual jokes or creative ideas to entertain his fellow clan-mates.
Ambition can be good, but could easily bring Skunk’s downfall. Due to his wishes of achieving more than he could ever comprehend, it’s not uncommon for others to see this tom often taking his duties a bit too seriously to the point of ill moods, rash decisions, poor self-conservation and lack of sleep. He is restless— he has trouble simply taking the time to relax, always tense with worry that he could be doing more. Furthering on his more negative traits, Skunkstreak’s passion can oftentimes land him into trouble— for most of the time, it seems he just can’t shut his maw to save his own life— something he’s aware of and tries to hold back on. Being tossed into reality before kithood even ended, the young tom finds himself being much too realistic in certain circumstances when it comes to wellbeing, others’, and the world in general— all these traits together (conflicting with his normal aura of expression and socialization) has made an inner bundle of confusion, vulnerability and nerves (though he dare not expose his humility sheerly due to fear).

Character Background
History
Skunkstreak’s story begins being born in a litter of three (him being the runt as well as the only male) to his mother, Ebonyclaw, and his runaway father, Venomstrike.
The young kit was raised primarily by his mother, seeing as to how uninterested and even loathing his father was towards him and his sisters. Being merely a kit, he had no real idea of the ill-willed relationship between his beloved mother and manipulative father, failing to process the neglectful attitude Venomstrike had to not just his kits, but Ebonyclaw as well. Due to this, Skunkkit spent his days in the Nursery playing with Leopardkit, going about his business as any other kit would under his mother’s watchful, caring eye. Things were fine!
However, Leopardkit began to leave the Nursery often in favor of chasing after Venomstrike, wishing that she could pull their family closer and fix the damage that she and her brother had unintentionally brought with their existence. While she did that, Skunkkit began to grow somewhat weary of his father, confused by his negative remarks and lack of caring for even bothering to say ‘hello’ to him, his sister and his mother. That paired with Leopardkit’s further growing desperation to gain her father’s attention (thus leaving him without her presence), the tiny kit began to grow even more attached to his mother more than ever.
Not too long before apprenticeship, Leopardkit’s death happened, ultimately shaking him to the core.
His remaining sibling, the sibling he had grown up with and grown very close to, just happened to fall to the fate that Starclan had splayed out for her.
Like a switch, he went from blissfully unaware to always on the alert.
With his mother grieving and his father absent, Skunkkit took on quickly to a mature, nurturing role— always ensuring Ebonyclaw’s happiness and comfort. He grew resentful of his father, but because of this incident, he grew much quicker than most kits should. Under his mother’s care, he is growing into a hard-working warrior in-the-making, ensuring he does his very best at nearly everything tossed his way. He strives to go far in life, wanting to set his own name into the ground to not surpass the one his father left behind, but make his own legacy— one to make himself, his family, friends, and clan proud. From there, he began training with his mentor, Ospreyheart.
However, not too long after becoming a warrior, the previous clans spun into chaos, and the twolegs once again disrupted the peace. Managing to escape with a few other survivors, he and the others took off in search of a new place to call home.
Now, Skunkstreak resides in Mossclan with his mother, mentor, and new clanmates-- and now that they’re finally settling along with the other newly-formed clans and tribe, he finds himself more determined than ever to make his mark and shoot for the stars.
He is now Skunkstreak-- warrior of Mossclan.
