Iceclaw
Ice for his eyes, which are blue. Claw for hunting and battling ability
DESCRIPTION
Iceclaw is a long, lanky cat, a bit thinner then his Clanmates, even though both his parents were pure Rockclan, as far as we know. He's mostly white save for his ears, which have black tips, as well as some black spots on his face. His eyes are blue, but he is not deaf. His fur is short, but smooth and almost soft to the touch. Given that it is very much prone to getting dirt, something that on hunting missions Iceclaw encourages. He almost always rolls in the dirt before a hunt, to make sure his coat doesn't shine and warn predators, Twolegs, or the other clans to his presence.
Iceclaw's face is pointed and triangular. Though to his clanmates he is warm and kind, to the other clan's he is all business, and to them he seems cold and shut off, much like the ice in his name. When he is around his clan his expression is soft, gentle and kind, but to the other clans he seems cold and unemotional, often not speaking to them, or calling them annoying.
He has a few other markings, most noticeable is a black spot on his otherwise pink nose, a notch taken out of his left ear, and a long swooshy tail that he often uses to tap others in his clan with if he thinks they are feeling down or upset. This tail, used a lot in the camp to give comfort to his clan, lays still during meetings, when it is not flinging back and forth in annoyance at the presence of the other clans. He has claw marks from various Gathering tributes on both shoulders, a big cut on his left thigh.

PERSONALITY
Usually Iceclaw is warm and loving to his clan. He is dedicated to Rockclan's survival and works tirelessly to defend it. Most of the time he is either hunting, patrolling or defending the borders. He's the kind of cat who would drive an intruder from the territory with bared claws and fangs, regardless of who or what they are. To him the other clans cannot ever be trusted, and he makes that clear in his attitude and words. However, to his clan mates he is a nice, sociable cat.
However hard he is towards intruders from other clans, he is even worse to loners or stray kittypets. He will often badly injure, or even try to kill, those kinds of cats. Any cat that joins the clan from one of these groups is met with firm distrust from Iceclaw, though if the leader demands they join he will not argue. However, he feels that only true born Rockclaw cats are trustworthy, and he shuns all others...unless they manage to gain his trust. It is possible to gain his trust, but hard for a loner, kittypet, or other clan cat.
Iceclaw follows the teachings of Boneclan with distaste, but to the letter. A part of him clearly hates the savage life they must lead, but he does not question their ways. At least, not anymore.

HISTORY
Kithood: Icekit and his brother Hawkkit were the only two kits born to their mother, who cared for both of them very dearly. Hawkkit was, unlike his brother, a dark striped tabby, and he blended into the background better then his brother with his shiny white coat. Hawkkit often teased Icekit for this, to which Icekit would always retort that HE would be the better winter hunter, but the two were mostly good brothers to each other. They had spats, but on the whole they were as loyal to each other as two brothers could be. They had a happy, carefree kithood, their mother protecting them from the harshness of the world when they were very young. As a result, Icekit couldn’t understand the harshness of Boneclan or their ways when he was a kit, and often questioned them, much to the other cat’s dismay.
Apprenticeship: Icekit and Hawkkit became –paths at the usual time, and for about three moons had a great time as apprentices. The work was hard, but rewarding, as they both loved Rockclan, and were loyal to it. However, that all changed when Icepath met a stray loner at the border of Rockclan’s territory, alone without his mentor. The loner begain to fill his head with doubt of Boneclan, saying that no cat should live like a dog. Although Icepath was wary, a lot of what the other cat said made sense, and he began to question Boneclan more and more, despite discouragement from his leader and elders. It came to a head when Rockclan’s medicine cat told him to stop it, before Boneclan became angry at him.
Then, Icepath took Hawkpath with him to the longer, who promised to show him a way better then the clans, and proof he could take with him to show he was right. But, soon Icepath learned the truth. The loner had a grudge against Rockclan, and swiftly attacked, killing Hawkpath in the process. Icepath only lived because his mentor and Hawkpath’s mentor followed them, and drove the loner off. Since then, Icepath never questioned Boneclan, or his mentor, again.
Warriorhood: Icepath is now a full warrior, Iceclaw, and since the incident has had to prove himself in various Gatherings, which he has managed to survive, though the last one was very close. He is a good warrior and hunter. Not the best, but good enough to survive, and help his clan thrive. His only goal in life now is to defend the clan, serve Boneclan so they take no more of his friends away, and watch out for loners and kittypets who would stab his clan in the back.
However, a part of him still wishes for things to be different in the clans.
