. they call me HIDDENHEART!
Name:
-- Hiddenheart
Age:
-- 36 moons
Gender:
-- tom
Rank:
-- warrior
Clan:
-- ShadowClanAll I can say, is that this boy is still the same,
It's the man inside that's changed.
Short Appearance:
-- Regal amber-eyed black tom with white diamonds on his stomach and chest
Detaile Appearance:
-- Hiddenheart moves with the grace of a natural fighter, though his talent took some time to hone and perfect. Taking after his ebon mother, his short black fur hides strong muscles. He stands proudly, often looking regal and self-sufficient. He is almost completely black, except for two white diamonds on his chest and stomach, which according to his mother, came from his grandfather. His short fur dries fairly evenly, and Hiddenheart has his father's amber eyes. The tom's lean build and a usually well-groomed dark coat allow him to slink around in the shadows. Long legs with medium sized paws carry him, armed with sharp claws. A black nose often preceeds the tom, and he has long whiskers. Hiddenheart's long tail allows him to balance pretty well. The warrior has a small scar on his left shoulder, which many would probably not notice unless he pointed it out to them. He often shows no emotion, or tries not to, so his face tends to be closed off. If one were looking to read him, however, they would have to watch his body language, which usually gives one at least a hint of what he feels inside. The lean tom is not a particularly large cat, instead medium sized.
Personality:
-- Wary and quiet, Hiddenheart prefers to stay by himself, staying in the shadows. This complex tom finds it hard to trust others, especially after his sister's betrayal. Polite, he respects other cats when he interacts with them, but often tries to not interact with them. He gets very defensive when asked personal questions and will often end up not answering them, snapping at other cats and trying to subtly change the subject. Sometimes he gets lonely, but does not do anything to remedy that, still staying by himself. Hiddenheart does not let himself get close to other cats, fearing betrayal, and guards his feelings and secrets fiercely. He often remains stoic, not expressing his emotions, trying not to give any potential weapons for others to use against him. Kits are cute, but he does not desire any, nor does he think that he will be able to trust a she-cat enough to have any. Whenever he is the center of attention, the tom tries to divert the spotlight, or at least change the conversation so it's about something other than himself. Depending on the situation, he has a decent amount of patience. When attempting to explain something to a cat that refuses to understand it after multiple explanations, his patience often runs short and he ends up snapping at the cat. However, if he hunts, he can wait forever, patient and still. He would not be the ideal mentor, but if he gets a bright and curious cat as a mentor, he might warm up to the cat and do a fairly decent job. Stupidity annoys him greatly, for stupid cats often makes mistakes that everyone else ends up paying for. He has very little patience for that, as he considers himself intelligent. The very proud tom fears not living up to a cat's expectations, and often worries about what others will think of him, though he does not show it. Trying to get an answer out of him when he does not want to give it is like talking to a rock. However, he would protect those rare and select few that do earn his trust with his life, much like he would for ShadowClan. He has a fairly dry sense of humor, should anyone get to know him well enough to discover it. Hiddenheart also appreciates sarcasm, if it's well used.
History:
-- Naturally a quiet cat, Hiddenheart was the quiet one of his litter. His two sisters, Fawnkit and Sandkit, generally prefered to play with each other rather than him, and after having them team up against him in play fights, he learned to prefer it that way. So the tom explored the camp and satiated his curiousity while the other two played. As they matured, the siblings grew closer, though Hiddenheart was still slightly the outcast. The two she-cats learned to appreciate his quiet companionship as they gained their apprentice names. Hiddenpaw and Fawnpaw grew particularly close as brother and sister, and often went out on hunting patrols together as much as they could. However, Fawnpaw was very competitive, but the tom hadn't known how competitive she could get. While training one day, the black cat had pinned his sister with hardly any problems, thoroughly embarassing her, for she was proud of her natural fighting skills and had a reputation to uphold. Embarassed, the she-cat retaliated by playing on his fear of displeasing others and spreading the rumor that he had failed as an apprentice and would be kicked out of the clan. Despite not many believing in the rumor, this shattered his trust and scarred him. After ridicule from the few that did believe the rumor, he learned to hide his emotions and built a wall of quiet politeness to protect himself. Though the teasing hurt, it did not hurt as much as his sister's betrayal. He did not let any other cats get close to him. Even though he cut off interaction with the somewhat regretful Fawnpaw, the tom kept his bond with his other sister, who sympathized with him. He found he could trust her, but never had the same closeness with her as he had had with Fawnpaw. He threw himself into apprentice training, and eventually emerged as the quiet, but seemingly self-confident warrior, Hiddenheart, alongside his sisters, newly named Fawnflight and Sandspots. When assigned a patrol with Fawnflight shortly after, the she-cat's repeated and alternated apologies and rebukes for keeping a grudge wore his patience thin and he snapped. A short, but furious fight between the two broke out, where he received a cut that formed the small scar on his shoulder. As both were barely hurt since they were both strong fighters, no cat learned about this fight. Both cats kept the secret, after quickly breaking the fight when they realized they were evenly matched and would waste their energy. This formed a rift between Hiddenheart and Fawnflight that could not be repaired, though Fawnflight tried to many times. No big event has really happened since he became a warrior, so apart from his family drama, he has had a fairly uneventful life.If I don't return from this life of a soldier,
Don't you be crying for me.
