suffix Paw - He is still an apprentice of course!
Gaze-His eyes are always open. Few have even seen him sleep, much less blink and he is always starring at something (typically the stars but occasionally other cats).

Appearance
Crystalpaw's most striking aspect is his eyes. Massive and bright blue, they sit deep in his face. His orbs are far larger then the average cat's should be and many a Clan-mate has speculated that it is because he hardly seems to blink and they have just stretched out over the years. The colour itself seems to be an odd mix between untouched water and the sky at mid-day.
His face is not normally shaped. In addition to the massive eyes, his ears are almost bat-like. They make his head look tiny in comparison which, of course make his eyes seem that much larger. Potentially the most humerous part of his large ears is the fact that he seems to be deaf half the time. His snout is fairly short, but not as squat as certain breeds of cats. His whiskers are very long, due to his massive ears.
And of course, we cannot discuss Crystalpaw without talking about his massively beautiful pelt. It is his pride and joy. When he isn't staring at the sky (or, you know, doing his job) he is taking care of his pelt. His fur is fairly long most of the time and, nearly year round it is pitch black. However, as winter starts to set in, something peculiar begins to happen. The tips of patches of his fur start to grow in a frosted white which gives him almost a spotted look.
He keeps his teeth and claws very short. He is a grinder and can't help it when he sleeps - his teeth are naturally filed down. In addition, he is constantly filing his teeth and claws through herb gathering and preparation.
Personality
Crystalpaw is obsessive. He started out as a fairly normal kit. Ok, that is a lie, Crystalpaw was never normal! He was born practically stairing at the sky, even before he could see. That has to do something to your head.
Crystalpaw has always had a deep relationship with the stars. He claims they spoke to him, even before he became a Medicine Cat Apprentice. But when really asked about it, he said StarClan didn't speak to him, the stars themselves did. In every twinkle he could hear them sing. Of course, everyone else though the kit was crazy. And he never denied it.
In addition to his star obsession, he also quickly grew to love the elder's stories. He would sit for hours in their dens, listening to everything they had to say. Sometimes, to the annoyance of certain cats who will remain unnamed, he would correct them or finish the story for them. One of his favorite stories was of the two-legs from long ago. He believes heavily that they still exist and he spends quite a bit of his extra time searching through the city rubble for anything they left behind. He believes he has come to understand their language from the writing found on the walls (of course he is totally wack and doesn't get any of his guesses right but...no one else knows that!).
In the end, Crystalpaw is an amassing Medicine Cat candidate. He takes his job with the highest respect and he knows that his first and only duty is to his Clan. He has an un-matched knowledge of the more...peculiar methods of healing and has plans in the future to implement them and test them more thoroughly (occasionally scarring his Clanmates when he talks about it).
He has never cared what anyone thought. He knows that he is right - about the stones, about twolegs, about the stars - and he doesn't need anyone else to know it. Of course, the acceptance and approval of his Clanmates maters deeply to him, it is not necessary for him to continue life.
History
Family:
mother Dewshine
father Featherdust
Crystalpaw was born in the depths of summer. When the little creature was born, his small face was turned toward the sky. Of course, he couldn't see yet but everyone thought it was a sign (given his Clan's love of and reverence for the sky). He knew where the stars were - he could feel them! But he could not be given a star-based name and his mother hoped he showed something else for which he could name (Blackit was just so boring).
It really wasn't long until the only-kit was able to go outside and explore. As predicted, he spent quite a bit of his time rolled onto his back staring at the sky just outside the nursery. Once he was old enough to wander around on his own, he found a small perch in the camp that let him get just a bit closer to the sky. Of course, that simply wasn't enough for him and even before he was apprentice age he was sneaking up to the Leader's Den to try to get even closer! He was caught quickly and scolded.
It was obvious that this passive kit was not going to be a warrior and he was taken in as the Apprentice Medicine Cat at his six moon ceremony. He was thrilled and instantly started learning everything he could. And it wasn't long until he was trying to correct his mentor! While amused of the funny-looking kit's enthusiasm, she tried her best to keep the kit on track.
