GOOSEPAW ― THUNDERCLAN

GOOSEPAW ✻ THUNDERCLAN

name

goosekit goosepaw goosebelly

reasoning

some might have cause to believe that 'goose' is more a riverclanner's name. however, before the kits were born, his mother had previously suggested that her kits be named after birds. and when she died, badgertooth upheld that idea. goosepaw was named goose based on his bigger appearance, and the pattern of his fur. although not brown or grey like a goose, they too had on their backs and wings some form of saddle. as a warrior, goosepaw will be named goosebelly for his enthusiasm and optimistic and hearty personality.

short description

a long-haired black and white tom with bold yellow eyes.

physical description

to say he does not resemble a windclanner is an understatement. the young tom is a very thickly built cat, with broader shoulders, thicker legs, and an even thicker pelt. he has a wider face, and a knack for climbing trees. he's an agile one though, capable of many things if taught how to use his body to enable them. due to his young age, his paws are big and clumsy, his figure not quite fitted to his body. he continues to grow, giving him a lopsided or goofy appearance. though this is not to deem him ugly, but he's definitely a work in progress.

goosepaw's fur is quite a masterpiece. maybe not really, but its certainly attractive. with a base of white covered in a saddle fitted with a helmet and tail guard, he looks almost like a soldier ready for battle. he resembles his father the most, with his piercing golden eyes and striking black and white pelt. he's quite remarkable even covered in an inch thick of dirt.

personality

positives

• there are not a lot of people who can openly say they see the good in every thing, good and bad. to have a positive, cheerful perspective on things grants you quite a wide perspective and goodnatured attitude around you. it's almost charming. goosepaw is optimistic.
• what is selflessness? is the ability to put someone else before your needs, to hold hands with each others problems and to be there for one another. it is not to put your needs behind someone else's, it is merely to see someone else's point of view and their fear before yours, and to understand it. goosepaw is selfless.
• hardworking is something very good to have under your belt. everyone enjoys having someone who will get the job done. it means you set your sights on the end goal and do your best to finish it. goosepaw is hardworking.
• seriousness can be both a good trait, and a negative one. in this case, seriousness relies on the ability to protect and defend and put yourself out there for someone else, namely his clan and his family. goosepaw is serious.
• enthusiasm is one of the highlights in life. to see everything as some sort of grand experience, and to have a happy, joyful and bold outlook on anything there is to do makes life just a little less stressful. they know no bounds to their energy and their willingness. goosepaw is enthusiastic.

negatives

• immaturity is a tender thing, often full of rash decisions that are not thought out. many who fall under this category lack a need for guidance and strive to do their own thing, often foolish and childish mannerisms that many do not approve of. goosepaw is immature.
• unreliability is another term for irresponsible. these are individuals who lack a constant, something to tether them down and keep them from rushing off. they are often unpredicatable, but can also be fun, if you have the energy to keep up. goosepaw is unreliable.
• a rebellious streak gets you into trouble, but only if you get caught. individuals carrying this trait usually have a tendency to react in their own way, and do things that although frowned upon, are seen in their eyes as important and necessary to do. goosepaw is rebellious.
• not being focused on something can be dangerous. thankfully this does not happen in battle. related similarly to adhd, an unfocused person finds themselves distracted easily when bored. not so much in life and death situations however. goosepaw is unfocused.
• it is a very disliked trait, to be ungrateful for something. to get upset or frustrated and to snap and get angry because someone aided you, or because you didn't get better than someone else, or for other various reasons, gets you nowhere. many who have this however, often try to fix it. goosepaw is ungrateful.

the past

the history

it wasn't much of a surprise when brindlewhisker and badgertooth became mates, and then later kits. it had been expected really, with all the lovey-dovey flirting that went on so obviously. anyone could see it, or they were blind. when brindlewhisker was moved into the nursery, it had been a real shock. she was early, and not ready to have her kits. perhaps she was too young, or maybe genetics had daunted her little frame. it was unfortunate and a great stone of grief when after birth, she passed on. starclan had welcomed the young mother with open arms, and she continued to watch her two small kits grow.

she and badgertooth had borne two handsome young toms, goosekit and owlkit. from the start, goosepaw had always been the biggest. always so eager to live and to grow up and be brave and strong like his father. his surrogate mother, the one who nursed him was a rather plump and pretty older she-cat named fernfoot, gentle and sweet and nurturing. she had nursed two previous litters, and had borne a third no longer than a moon before their birth. the two brothers grew and became more and more adventurous, a handful pair of troublemakers.

they often schemed ways to escape camp, to which no plans every truly worked. they made quick friends with the apprentices, better friends with the other kits. they followed the leader, they chased warriors tails, the two were nigh inseparable. goosekit had always been a more jovial, outgoing young cat, so eager to explore the grand outdoors, to experience story-time, to relive past adventures. owlkit had always been a bit more reserved, happy with allowing goose to take charge and lead him around. they did however, separate greatly upon becoming apprentices.

when their ceremony came, fernfoot had been the one to dote on them the most heavily. ever since brindlewhiskers death, badgertooth had been a bit edgy around his kits. although proud, grief still fluttered in his broken heart. the two brothers found themselves separated for the first time then. goosepaw had been taken out to explore the territory, while owlpaw had been drawn away to practice fighting. the distance spread between them after that, even with goosepaw's attempts to reunite. perhaps in the future things will look up again.
