SUNFLOWER -- SHADOWCLAN.

SUNFLOWER ✻ SHADOWCLAN

name

sunflower.

reasoning

sunflower earned his prefix because of his mothers' grander ideas and dreams, seeing as she was a very creative cat who dreamed a lot. so she gave him the prefix 'sun' to reflect upon her imaginations of a beautiful, sunny field where there were no clouds. a bit ironic considering he is an albino. the suffix 'flower' was given to him for his feminine bouts and his openly gay side, tho he is a bisexual. 

age

twenty five moons.

gender

tom.

alliance

shadowclan. no past alliances yet.

rank

warrior. previously a kit and an apprentice.

physique

short description

sunflower is a white, short-furred but thick pelted tom with pale blue eyes. it is because he has oculocutaneous albinism.

physical description

At first glance, one would see a very large and bushy white cat which is rather intimidating until one gets to know this fella. But besides personality, this tom is indeed large and bushy. The bushiness is not from having long fur, no, not at all. Sunflower, which is his name, just has a thick furred pelt- despite his fur being short. He also keeps the said fur well groomed, it keeps him warm so he figures that is the least he can do for it. Sometimes he even has the habit of keeping other, smaller warriors warm who have thinner fur thickness than he does. Then again, he loves cuddles despite not knowing his strength at times.

This fur, as mentioned, is white. The only color that touches his pelt besides his eye color which is a pale blue. This is from oculocutaneous albinism which will cause him to go blind in his older years- around nine or ten years of age but he is only a little over two years old so he has plenty of time before this. From the albinism as well, he normally has light sensitivity. So heavy sunlight is something he avoids, in the green leaf he will usually tuck himself away until nightfall.

He carries himself at a tall stature, he does not really like slouching and he likes cats seeing how big he is. Since if they saw that, most would not mess with him, right? Or at least that is how Sunflower thinks. Plus, he has a bit longer-than average claws so it is not very wise to be on his bad side. He could do some serious damage if he set his heart out to it. But so could any cat!

personality

positives

• caring; now he does not care for individual cats, unless family, but he does care for the clan and their well being in general. he tries his best for them.
• goal-achiever; if one gives sunflower a task or a mission to do, he will see it through to the very end. the same goes for the goals he sets for himself for him to achieve. so with this said, it can also be concluded he is hardworking.
• hardworking; as concluded before in the earlier bulletin, he is hardworking. sunflower will try to do things at his very best for maximum effort. if possible and he does not strain himself to much.
• affectionate; a big fur ball, sunflower can be a very affectionate tom cat who will try to keep the colder cats warm- considering his pelt and everything.
• friendly; if one needs a cat to talk to and he is on one of his better days when he is not distant, sunflower will surely be friendly and try to keep a conversation. normally he does not have much to talk about tho.

negatives

• distant; despite being affectionate and everything, sunflower is a bit loner-like and will want to be away from the cats, on his own for a while. this causes him to be alone in the wooden marsh at times.
• roughness; this tom does not know his own strength so he tends to be rough with cats even tho he normally does not mean them any harm.
• hard time coping; now when it comes to most cats, a death is a death- oh well. but with family or close friends, he tends to get very depressed and such. so with close deaths or family deaths, he has a hard time coping- as mentioned.
• apathetic; with a lot of things, sunflower usually comes off as not caring. showing no concern or interest over most things. when it comes to him or things involving his close friends and family, that is a different story. 
• dark side; now some would not believe this normally, friendly tom has a dark side. but he does and this side of him is pretty scary tho it is only seen when someone upsets or angers up. most of the time he tends to just through a temperature even tho he is a warrior- not a kit. this being said, he is a bit childish at times.

personality

Very cheerful, most of the time, this cat tends to be pretty friendly tho he is a lonerish type- he tends to like to be by himself at times too which causes him to stray from camp and sometimes sleep in the wooden marsh. But when he does want to be around cats, this fur ball is extremely protective and affectionate. He will try to warm up cats who are cold or try to defend a cat in an argument after seeing both sides of it. Sunflower is very much involved in clan life, probably a bit well known with cats around his age but certainly just a regular clan cat with no high position obtained by him. He would enjoy such but he knows he would not be good at it- simply because he does not care with my clan affairs. He just cares about clan life in general. Apprentices getting trained, plenty of kits, plenty of prey, enough warriors to defend camp and it is all good- he won't worry if the conditions are like that and he will be back to the carefree tom he normally is like.

Speaking of carefree, he has not taken the time to get to know his strength. So he tends to be more rough with cats than usual but he normally, most of the time, has no intent to purposely hurt them.

the past

the history

"Sunkit, like the sun shining on the fields in that far away place in my daydreams. Maybe he will find that field someday? I am not sure,, but I must name him after such!" -- and that is how the little guy was given his name. His other litter mates got the same type of naming situation. His litter mates and only siblings having the prefix Tall, for the tall grass their mother dreamed of. Vole, for the plentiful prey she imagined in this dream. Sky, for how clear the sky seemed to her in the same situation too. Last sibling had the prefix Tree, to indicate there were no trees in this dream their mother had. Now she never left the clan but she should have really considered moving it Windclan with this pleasant idea. Sadly, she died four moons after having this litter and that was from green cough. Their father ran away afterwards, unable to handle the grief and the memories of her which the clan brought. Each happy memory only seemed to give him heart break that they could not have anymore happy memories than what they did. And that she was not here for that now. The sickness had also been passed down to Vole and Sky, the weakest tom and the only she-cat. Vole, the tom mentioned, died from it as well but Sky managed to make it through.

So for the rest of their kithood, they spent it alone in a different nest (considering she had greencough- so did two of their siblings, one who returned to the nursery). They grew up considerably well during this time and became apprentices, quite eagerly. His mentor then was the former leader, Gannetstar. During this time, he was known as Sunpaw and did surprisingly well during his training and apprenticeship. His strength was fighting due to his size but his weakness was hunting, that was what he struggled in the most. Due to being a big cat, back then- still, Sunpaw typically scared away prey. Especially with his heavy footfalls. Yet it was a pretty normal apprenticeship for him, Skypaw then- had ran off like their father. None of the siblings really cared, or noticed. She had been to quiet anyways. What happened to her remains a mystery like their father. Tallpaw never questioned it, Treepaw seemed to.

So with one more out of the picture, they became warriors. Tallpaw became Tallbelly, the suffix belly was due to the cheerful personality he has, at thirteen moons of age. Treepaw became Treeflight, for his swiftness and quickness around the same time Tallbelly became a warrior. Sunpaw became a warrior a little while later, at fourteen- nearly fifteen- moons of age. His mentor held him back for more practice. Tho he did became a warrior later, he thinks he did get one of the better names. Sunflower! The albino withered with joy in that name for nearly half a moon, he thought it fit him well and he loved the ring to it.

Throughout the years, everything seemed to go about normally until Gannetstar died. Sunflower was close to her- considering she was his mentor, a friend and someone Sunflower considered as a second mother during his apprentice years. To say the least, he was a complete wreck about her death. Tallwillow and Treeflight could agree that he was such- very depressed, not knowing what to do with himself, sulking. Sunflower is not good with death of someone close to him, this is how he normally reacts- anyone else who is not like family, he simply does not care.

Thankfully, with his brother's help, he recovered from that time and has been pretty fine for the past two moons. Hopefully everything will stay that way for him.
