____________[LOOKS]

Lets us start with a general look before we get into details, hmm?
When you first glance at Shrubwhisker, you notice that he's not nearly as big or bulky as the other wild toms. His slim frame reminds you of a slender WindClan apprentices, and his sleek, mud-brown coat makes you imagine him sliding through the river like the best of the RiverClanners. When he turns to face you, you notice his has clear, sparkling green eyes that match the colors of the forest around him. You blink, and suddenly he's gone.

The tip of his nose is a dark, chocolate brown, perhaps just the slightest bit darker than his muzzle, which is slightly narrow. Peer inside his mouth, and you will see dark gums and a grayish tongue -- not because of poor health, but merely from natural coloration. He has small, pointed teeth, perfect for latching onto an opponent, or swiftly killing small woodland prey. His ears are small and have very rounded tips compared to other cats, but well proportioned for him. And most imporantly, we come to Shrubwhisker's name sake; his eyes. His pupil is large, and rounded more like a human's than the slits of a cats. And from this pupil extends a beautiful leafy green color that seem to dazzle with youth and inner strength. It is dark, like evergreen leaves around the pupil and at the very edges, as if framing them. Just above these eyes and below them are wiry white whiskers, his best tool.
His shoulders are narrow, but still move swiftly and gracefully, as muscles are hidden under his short, plush coat. His lean legs are about a paw shorter than others, giving him the permanent appearance of an apprentice. His tail is of average length, and if you look closely, has lighter brown rings wrapped around it.

____________[PERSONA]

Shrubwhisker, unfortunately, acts as he appears. His small stature made him a prime choice for mockery from the other Clans, and even some gentle teasing from Clan mates as well. Through his kit and apprentice-hood, he has been the cautious, quiet one. Incredibly shy, he almost never talked to anyone besides Rosethorn, his mentor, and Thunderpaw, his brother. And when he does open up, you will find a thoughtful, sweet, eager individual. A great friend, Shrubwhisker can keep any secret, sooth any worry, and be by your side when you march bravely into unexplored land.

Since his warrior ceremony, he has become more open, and fearsomely loyal of ThunderClan, now confronting his opponents rather than cower behind an older warrior. However, with his own Clanmates, he is still crippling shy, and is often with himself or Rosethorn.

____________[HISTORY]

Shrubwhisker was born to two loving ThunderClan parents, along with his brother Thunderpaw. The two were inseparable. Thunderpaw, being the bold explorer, balanced Shrubkit's softer personality. They were often seen tumbling and playing in the middle of camp, while their father stood off to the side and watched. Their mother, unfortunately, did not seem terribly interested in the kits, though neither noticed that their mother did not fuss over them as much as other mother's did with their kits, and clearly, he still grew up to be a fine warrior. Thunderpaw and Shrubpaw became apprentices together in a time with few warriors, especially after a fight with ShadowClan that ended up giving his father fatal wounds. So Shrubpaw was assigned to be mentored by Rosethorn, the current deputy's mate and only recently made a warrior herself. She was understand and patient with him, and became like a mother to him when greencough stole his brother and real mother. And later, when he fell in love with the deputy's apprentice, Tumblepaw, during their many training sessions together, Rosethorn encouraged him, continuing to train them together even after Solarwind, her mate and deputy, was taken by twolegs, leaving her broken and unsure of herself. Together, they healed each other and helped each other get over the loss. It was a few nights before his warrior ceremony that Shrubwhisker was able to sum up the courage to tell himself that he was, indeed, in love with Tumblepaw. The clumsy apprentice was kind and understand, sweet and fun. That was the night Tumblepaw disappeared. He was made a warrior without her, breaking the dream the two friends held for so long. But here we are, three moons later, and Shrubwhisker has mended his broken heart in order to aid his Clan in hard times.
