Greypebbles

A longhaired, small gray spotted tabby tom with a bobbed tail and gray eyes

Greypebbles is a smaller than average tom, with a rather unique appearance. His long, pale grey fur is rather dense and clings to his lithe frame, making him seem a small faction larger than he is. Darker grey spots are dappled across his coat, reminiscent of pebbles strewn across the riverbed, from which he takes his name. His stubbed tail, something he was born with, may be shorted than most, but adds to the uniqueness of his overall appearance. Soft, round eyes of a blue-grey hue peek out from his fluffy face, often wide with curiosity or softened with a gentle care for his clanmates. The fur on his chest is a white that contrasts loosely with the pale grey of his fur

Greypebbles can be a rather sweet feline, often placing himself in harms way to protect those he cares most for. Ever since he was a kit, he harbored a shy and quiet persona, which carries itself to present day. More often than not, Greypebbles would avoid starting up conversation due to a worry of coming off as awkward or rude. But regardless, with those he is close to within his clan, his voice shines through, often talking about his day and patrols he has been on during they daylight. All in all, Greypebbles will not start any conversation with others he doesn’t know well, but with cats he has a close friendship with, he would happily chat to them without a care. And more importantly he would protect and defend the cats of ThunderClan with undying loyalty and bravery. Greypebbles, despite his somewhat closed of personality, is still determined on making his place in the clan.

Kithood (0-6 moons):

Pebblekit was born to Thriftfeather, his father that had died before he was born and Pigeonwing, a rather strict cat, but still a loving mother for the most part. Though at some stages, when Pebblekit was still small and somewhat weak, she would scold him for innocent mistakes, being quite harsh with her punishments, sometimes not even letting Pebblekit out of the nursery for a mistake that could probably been prevented. But despite Pigeonwing’s punishments, she raised her kit well having him grow into a spritely kit. But unfortunately, when Pebblekit was barely 5 moons old, sickness took Pigeonwing from ThunderClan and she made her journey to StarClan without even being able to say goodbye to her only kit.

Apprenticeship (6-12 moons):

The moon after his mother’s passing passed rather quickly, the grief blending the days together until his apprentice ceremony. Pebblekit was soon named Pebblepaw, apprenticed to a cat he was rather close with in kithood, Jaysong. The two were a rather good balance, Pebblepaw was a rather quiet and shy souled cat who would rather not have confrontation occur and Jaysong, who could inspire him with confidence and skill. Pebblepaw looked up to Jaysong, wishing to be exactly like him, a strong and undyingly loyal warrior. And with Jaysong’s skilled mentoring, Pebblepaw was sure he could do just that.

The early moons of Pebblepaw’s training went quite well, or well enough, Jaysong’s teaching of StarClan’s stories and the reaffirming knowledge of the warrior code fueled his love of his own clan and the determination to become a great warrior of his clan. Pebblepaw excelled in his hunting skills often impressing his mentor with his skillful catches, but never overhunting as he didn’t want the prey to go to waste in the pile of fresh kill. While not as skilled in fighting and combat, Jaysong’s words of wisdom and his experience with battle techniques soon rubbed off on young Pebblepaw. And with the skills Pebblepaw had learned, he had no doubt that he would make a fine, well-rounded warrior.

Though, the peace didn’t last as long, for when Pebblepaw had decided for him and his mentor to go on a patrol together and took one of his clanmates, Mistyleaf. They had stumbled upon a male fox scent. With his heart pounding in his ears, Pebblepaw froze, his paws almost glued to the undergrowth staring at the fox with widened terrified eyes. He was in such a terrified daze that he could barely hear his mentor calling for him to race and get help. It was only when the fox was darting towards Pebblepaw, that he had heard Jaysong screeching for him to race back to camp and get help.

Against all of his fear churning in his belly, he pelted through the bushes once Jaysong had stopped the fox in its tracks so Pebblepaw could get help for Mistyleaf and Jaysong.

Warriorhood (12 moons – Current):

Pebblepaw was soon named Greypebbles after the incident with the fox, named for his bravery and compassion. Though he was pleased to be named a warrior, the attention he got made him feel rather cramped. Regardless, he enjoyed the ceremony but Greypebbles was overshadowed by concern for his mentor, who was held in the medicine den due to the injuries he had gained form the fox. Greypebbles remained their out of concern, completing not only his warrior vigil but a vigil for another night whispering silent prayers to StarClan that Jaysong, renamed as Bravesong for his deeds, would survive the attack.

With support from the medicine cat, Greypebbles heard news about Bravesong healing and recovering from his injuries, but was also told the unfortunate news that Bravesong would never be able to continue his warrior duties. With a heavy heart, Greypebbles always found time to visit Bravesong whenever he could, often chatting to Bravesong about his busiest days and even the more calmer ones. Greypebbles almost never left Bravesong’s side, especially when Bravesong’s father, Cindercloud had disappeared from the the camp towards the Treecut place and never made his return.

Greypebbles only became closer to Bravesong after that day, offering his comfort and any services that he could provide. And eventually, Bravesong began to grow mentally and became better and felt more at home in the elders den. Greypebbles still visits him on occasion when he isn’t busy with his duties, and even when he is occupied with his duties, Greypebbles still offers to take Bravesong along, just so he can feel as if he is helpful and of use to the clan. Even though Greypebbles has struggles of his own, he vowed to himself that Bravesong will always have a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to his woes, Greypebbles promised that whenever Bravesong needed him, he would be there, just as Bravesong was in the past.
