RAWR. Don't mess with this tom!
Don't you dare question my loyalty to RiverClan.
Sure, I'm only 35 moons old, but I'm bigger than you.
I'm in my prime, I'm a Warrior!

{{ This is me.
Don't like it?
Too bad. }}

As you will soon read in Foxspirit's history, he is a purebred Maine Coon cat. He exhibits the traits that Maine Coons are known for, like large, stocky build; long, thick coats; tall pointed ears; and a distinct "M" shape on the forehead.
Foxspirit is very large. His large frame accounts for some of his hugeness, but also his thick, bulging muscles around his haunches and shoulders. Like any true Maine Coon, his ears stick up on his head and face the sides, unlike most other cats' whose face forward. He has a broad triangular-shaped face that ends in a wedge-like muzzle that is very pale ginger, almost white. His pink nose stands out beautifully in contrast to his handsome ginger tabby pelt. More specifically, his pelt is marbled tabby, also called blotched tabby. In some places, he has large whorls of darker russet color that gives way to lighter ginger beneath the tabby markings. He has what some might call a "mane" around his handsome face. Foxspirit's paws seem a little large, even for him, though his whole body is larger than your average cat's. His tail is long and bushy - another Maine Coon characteristic - and ends in a white tip, which gives Foxspirit an even more fox-like appearance, in addition to his reddish coat. His whiskers are white and relatively short. Not far above the whiskers are Foxspirit's whiskers are his olive green eyes, which are set deep in his face.

{{ And this is just
how I am! }}

Foxspirit is very intimidating and knows he is. With a large physical stature such as his, and the teeth and claws to match, he has the right to be confident and proud. Maybe just a bit too proud. Sometimes, Foxspirit can be a little pompous. I suppose that just comes from being the largest cat in RiverClan. Foxspirit uses his ferocity to strike fear into the hearts of all that oppose him, and he has earned a suitable reputation for this. But that reputation only gives him an advantage over his enemies, and they quickly learn not to mess with Foxspirit, just like Clan cats know not to venture any farther when they scent a fox. Needless to say because I'm sure you'd already assumed, Foxspirit has a fiery temper. The smallest things start fits of rage, like an apprentice taking an entire rabbit for himself when they didn't contribute to the fresh-kill pile, or an elder scolding him for sleeping a little past dawn. He is very much like a fox in ferocity, temper, and strength.
Though he seems like a complete air-head with a temper, Foxspirit isn't all bad. At least, he doesn't intend to be. He doesn't want to be seen as a bad person, but with the way he acts, no one can help but judge him that way. He sees himself as misunderstood. Foxspirit just feels that he needs to be rude and harsh to gain respect with his Clan that he would gladly die to defend. Based on what you've read so far about Foxspirit, it doesn't seem likely that he would be that loyal to RiverClan, does it? Maybe it doesn't even seem like he belongs in RiverClan at all! You would think he would be better suited to living in ShadowClan. But the characteristics of RiverClan cats, pride and strength, exactly describe Foxspirit. Or atleast, the softer side of him. He is noble, and would say and do anything to defend RiverClan's cats and its reputation, and would die fighting not just for RiverClan, but for a good cause that he believes in with all his might.

{{ I don't live for the past. }}

From a long line of pedigreed Champion Maine Coon cats, came Foxspirit. His father was a champion one year, and his mother a champion the next year. The breeders that both cats belonged to agreed to mate their Champion show cats, sure they would produce another litter of champion Maine Coons. Sure enough, a healthy litter of 5 kittens was born, and they were lovely and all their markings were absolutely perfect, so the breeders had a nice selection to chose from; which to show, which to sell, and which to breed with other breeders' and their own cats.
Foxspirit was once a good cat. He did everything he was told to do by his owners, and he was a perfect little house cat. In addition to being a cat with perfect temperament, his coat and stature made him the hallmark of the breeder, the most perfect Maine Coon they had ever produced. But he knew nothing of the breeding system that caused his brothers and sisters to be born.
One day, Foxspirit, who was back then named Daniel Firefox after the father that he exactly resembled, asked his mother who his father was. His mother replied, "Oh he was quite a handsome cat. You look just like him, as a matter of fact. His name is Xanthus Firefox, and you were named for him. He was a show champion just like I am." Now this was very nice hear of the father he never knew, but Foxspirit wanted to know more about him - what he was like. "Oh... I never really got to know him." she replied wistfully. Foxspirit puzzled over this. He was her mate, the cat she had fallen in love with! How could she not know him? So he decided to consult one of the senior show cats that the breeder had. He revealed to young Foxspirit that the cats here were not allowed to choose their mates, they were breeded to produce perfect kittens. And sometimes, multiple females breeded with the same tom. The older cat assured him that he would be breeded with many females because of his perfect genes. All this news of the horrible unjust world that Foxspirit had been born into was not a place he wanted to live in.
So one day, he said farewell to his beloved siblings, his playmates, who he knew would someday become proud mothers and fathers of beautiful kittens in this fake world they lived in. He went out into the backyard and dug under the fence like a dog until his claws were aching and his paws bled. He was sure the breeders wouldn't think any one of their sissy cats could dig like that. He felt proud of himself, proud he had done something real.
At this time, he was just a young kit, so it was very difficult for him to trek as far away from his home as possible. He was found soon after by a RiverClan patrol, and taken in as one of their own.
