Cedarprowl

A large brown tabby with amber eyes and a crushed front paw

Cedarprowl is a large dark brown tabby, his fur marked with black stripes that run across his muscular frame. His eyes, a bright amber portray his focus and intensity in his actions. A permanently shattered front paw sets him apart, the result of it being crushed by a stone, though his confident stride was restored as he walks the stars. The fur around his injured paw is often matted and rough, contrasting with the rest of his well groomed pelt. Despite his injury, Cedarprowl carries himself with pride and loyalty

Cedarprowl is an elder with a no nonsense attitude, always speaking his mind with unwavering bluntness. His stern demenour had originally frightened Beewhisker as a kit, which eventually drove them to respecting him, as they saw him as deserving of the best from his clanmates, despite that more than likely not being the case. Beneath his tough exterior, Cedarprowl harbors a deep-seated loyalty and affection for his sister, Tawnyflight, and Tawnyflight’s kit, Beewhisker, willing to go to great lengths to protect and support them.

He harbors a stratigic mind and quick decision making skills, often taking charge in difficult situations. Cedarprowl’s dedication to his clan’s safety and prosperity is something that Beewhisker admired deeply about him, he once spent a lot of his time patrolling and training with Beepaw, learning as much from them as they did from him. While he rarely shows his softer side, Tawnyflight and Beewhisker know the depths of his caring nature. Cedarprowls strength and unwavering principles make him a brave warrior, willing to go to any feat to protect his clan and kin.

Since kithood, Cedarprowl was fiercely protective of his sister, Tawnyflight, despite her brash and often cruel behavior towards him. Their mother had died giving birth, and their father was distant, leaving Cedarprowl to fill the role of protector and caretaker. Tawnyflight’s harshness never deterred him, instead, it strengthened his resolve to keep her safe. As kits, while teasing and tormenting him, he would silently endure, hoping to shield her from the repercussions of her actions. Cedarprowl’s stern and blunt nature began to take shape during these early moons, forged in the fires of his sister’s volatile temper.

As apprentices, his sister’s ambitions became more evident. She aspired to be the clan leader, driven by a deep-seated need for power and control. Despite his own reservations, Cedarprowl agreed to help her, sneaking out once a moon under the cover of darkness to train. They honed their battle skills and hunting techniques, becoming a fairly tight-nit duo by the time they earned their warrior names. No cat seemed to catch onto their nocturnal escapades, and Cedarprowl found a strange sense of of fulfilment in their secret training sessions, believing that helping Tawnyflight would ultimately benefit the clan.

As the moons passed, Tawnyflight’s relentless quest for power only grew more intense. Her repeated failures to become deputy fueled her anger and bitterness, turning her heart colder with each passing season. Cederprowl, as loyal as he was, stood by her side, hoping to temper her darker impulses with his presence. When Tawnyflight decided to have a kit, Beewhisker, as an heir to continue her quest, Cedarprowl supported her, though the decision troubled him deeply. He feared for the future, knowing that Tawnyflight’s ambition could corrupt her offspring as well so he offered to mentor them.

Tragedy struck when Cedarprowl’s paw was crushed by a boulder after his sister retired to the elders den due to frequent migraines, leaving his front paws shattered beyond repair. The injury forced him into the medicine den, and he struggled with feelings of uselessness and frustration. Beewhisker, who was a young warrior at this time, took the role of caretaker, helping Cedarprowl with his daily needs until he chose to retire to the elders den. This attention, however, infuriated Tawnyflight, who saw it as a distraction from Beewhisker’s warrior duties. Her anger culminated in a heated argument with Beewhisker, straining their already tense family dynamic.

Desperate to mend their fractured relationship, Tawnyflight invited Cedarprowl on a walk around the territory, hoping to reconnect. Cedarprowl, despite his injury, agreed, yearning to restore some semblance of peace between them. Their journey, however, turned into a nightmare when a fox had ambushed them. In the ensuring chaos, Cedarprowl fought valiently to protect his sister, despite his shattered paw. As the fox tore at their pelts, Cedarprowl locked eyes with Tawnyflight one last time, mouthing “sorry” before leaping at the fox, getting traped in its jaws in a final, desperate act of sacrifice. His brave, half-hazardly executed leap gave Tawnyflight a fleeting chance to escape, but ultimately, both siblings perished, leaving only blood stained memories behind.
