SOOTFANG
STONECLAN x WARRIOR
[CARING] ● [ENTHUSIASTIC] ● [CONFUSED]
General Knowledge
AGE: 27 moons
GENDER: Tom
BREED: Persian Mix
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
REASON FOR NAME:Soot - named for his grey fur
Fang - named for his underbite
Appearance
Sootfang has long, dark grey fur -- with an even fluffier tail. He actually does a fairly good job at keeping it clean, although it often snags on random bits of stone and wire. It's not unlikely that a cat can find tufts of grey fur strewn about StoneClan's territory. Underneath all that fur, however, Sootfang is a broad-shouldered tomcat. He inherited this build from his father, Largestone. He did not, however, grow as uniquely huge as his father was known for being.
It is neither his fur nor his build that is his most distinguishable trait. That would be his prominent underbite. This little characteristic comes from Darkwhisker's side of the family. His squashed Persian-like face and protruding fangs give him a slightly gruff appearance -- but this is one portion of his appearance that is misleading. If a cat manages to pull their gaze up from his lower lip and observe his eyes--a dull, uninteresting yellow--they'll see that his gaze seems unfocused. This gives him a look of utter confusion. Sootfang often has this expression on his face, so much so that most cats find it hard to be intimidated by the tom.

Largestone and Darkwhisker had always wanted kits, but there had never seemed to be time. Largestone was always busy doing one thing or another; as a son of Whitestar, he was kept to an exceptionally high standard of performance and participation in his Clan. By the time things began to slow down for the couple, Darkwhisker had given up hope for any kits of her own. That StarClan would bless them with a kit so late in their lives came as a surprise.
Sootkit was born with an underbite, which Darkwhisker found adorable and reminded her fondly of her grandfather. Largestone didn't readily embrace this "abnormality" but nevertheless Sootkit grew on him. Yet as Sootkit grew older, it was evident that he was a bit different than his fellow denmates. All kits are uncoordinated at first, but slowly grow stronger with each passing moon. Sootkit seemed to be clumsier than most; in fact, he never quite lost his lack of coordination even as the other kits outgrew theirs. He also seemed easily confused; it bothered Largestone to think his son would be a slow-learner. Darkwhisker reassured him that it wasn't a problem.
Until Sootkit went missing.
Patrols were sent out to find the missing kit as his parents feared the worst. Darkwhisker was devastated. Largestone was frantic. They knew of their son's shortcomings, but what would happen to him out there, unprotected?
As the day drew to a close, Sootkit's parents became more worried. Predators were more frequent during the night. It wasn't until the last patrol returned to camp that Darkwhisker was drawn to an odd shuffling in the
