( name ) spiderbite ( age ) 47 moons ( gender ) male ( rank ) warrior ( loyalty ) springclan
( orientation ) heterosexual ( apprentice ) open ( kin ) npcs/open ( crush ) open
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
( prefix + meaning ) spider - for his long legs and black fur
( suffix + meaning ) bite - for his powerful jaw and fighting abilities
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
( first impression ) bold and assertive
( scent ) sun-warmed moss and dew
( scars ) two thin scars across his face, above his right eye
( likes ) swimming, green-leaf, cicadas, moonlight, climbing trees
( dislikes ) leaf-bare, frogs (as prey), disloyalty
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
( appearance )
spiderbite is a black, long-legged oriental shorthair with coarse fur and a thin frame. the tom has spider-li
ke limbs, a narrow torso and hips, a long neck, and a delicately angular face. he has a very regal appeal, w
ith nimb paws, a snake-like tail, and a handsome maw. spiderbite's most striking features of all are his lar
ge, bat-like ears and his enormous emerald eyes.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
( personality )
( + ) brave, genuine, optimistic
( = ) frank/brash, sarcastic, pushy
( - ) bull-headed, stubborn, unforgiving
» spiderbite tends to be considerably brave and confident in his every action. be it talking to other cats or facing a foe, the tom always has confidence on his side, and despite his misgivings about the world spiderbite doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. while this is a good trait for being so scrutinized due to his heritage, it can be tiring as most of his clan-mates are highly critical of his every mistake. regardless, spiderbite's boundless faith in his and springclan's capabilities leads him to be one of the most optimistic and energetic cats within the clan.
» this warrior always tells the truth, almost to the extent of seemingly high righteousness. being as honest and blunt as he tends to be, spiderbite's first impulse towards questions is to answer truthfully no matter how rude the truth may be. to the black tom, actions can be divided into two planes and two planes only: right and wrong. such a stark outlook on life may lead him to value the word of cats as equally blunt as he more than those who stray towards being more demure, and spiderbite holds honesty above many other traits when choosing to believe in others. breaking his trust is permanent, and spiderbite holds grudges that last a lifetime. however, while this brutal honesty may seem harsh, it's one of the redeeming aspects of his personality, as most cats know that spiderbite never lies and will always perform an action truthfully and without malicious intent . . . for the most part.
» the tom tends to be very loud and assertive at times, forcing his way into conversations and demanding things without pause. this can at times be viewed as a beneficial trait as spiderbite doesn't hesitate around strangers, but it can also be quite annoying as his sarcasm and pushiness can often cause squabbles. he can't help it, though. the tomcat has been so used to being deprived of basic necessities through hardship and having to maintain a self-dependent way of life in his time spent proving himself worthy, that he hasn't quite gotten used to relying on other individuals.
» spiderbite is stalwart and has the tendency to be very single-minded, often throwing all of his attention into one task rather than many at once. despite being fairly adaptable, he dislikes change and favors stability and structure, which is why many will describe the senior warrior as being fairly stubborn and unyielding when it comes to his ideals and decision-making. spiderbite will argue a point until it's dead, and he rarely backs down when challenged on his opinions. try as one might, getting into an argument with the warrior is very rarely successful, and it takes a strong personality and a bold confidence to stand up to spiderbite when he's digging his claws in.

( history )
» cinderglow was exiled from her former clan for mating with a kittypet. desperate, she turned to twolegs and gave birth to four kittens: bite, screech, meow, and last but not least, growl. cinderglow told her children tales of the fierce clan cats of the forest, and little growl was inspired. many of his dreams were filled with these warriors. eventually the time came for the kittens to go to their own homes, and growl was taken to live in a foster home, where he was given the new name "ripley" and soon forgotten. now apprentice-aged, he was lonesome, and had to find his own food or beg from the foster children in order to fill his belly. a year passed by, and a blizzard struck twolegplace, piles and piles of snow trapping ripley inside. as days passed by, the tom realized a chilling fact: the humans weren't returning any time soon, and if ripley wanted to survive, he had to get out. he eventually found a cracked window in the attic and scrambled out into the frozen world, finally free.
» ripley knew now that he would have to somehow seek out another warm body in the winter wasteland; it was the only way that he could possibly survive on his own. the kittypet turned to the stories he'd been told as a kit, departing from twolegplace to seek out the forest cats that his mother had spoken of so reverently. the world seemed to be made of snow and ice, but ripley figured that if the clans were as incredible as his mother described they would surely be the ones who'd survived the freeze. after a few days of searching the woodland to no avail, ripley's hope began to dwindle, ready to dismiss cinderglow's stories. weak, tired, and chilled to the bone, the oriental shorthair was barely conscious one day when he stumbled head-first into a stream that had been too quick to freeze over. although ripley had no swimming abilities, he managed to keep his head above water, his cries for help echoing along the banks as he feebly fought for life. a hungry springclan patrol heard the young tom's cries and was able to fish the sodden ripley out of the stream. despite recognizing the cat as a foreigner, the kind-hearted clan administered the utmost care towards ripley, helping him regain his strength as the worst of leaf-bare's claws began to unlatch its hold upon the clan. after a moon or so of recovery, it was decided that ripley would be accepted into the clan so long as the tom was willing to prove himself. accepting the name spiderpaw for his black fur and long legs, the new warrior began his training, working twice as hard as the other apprentices in order to justify his presence among the clan cats.
» despite the shaky tolerance the clan had shown spiderpaw during his recovery, the springclan warriors showed the young tom no mercy during his training, often being overly critical of his every mistake. whispers were traded and rumors began of spiderpaw's heritage, and many cats were fairly certain that the apprentice would soon realize his mistake and would attempt to return to his past lifestyle. many times spiderpaw had to fight to prove himself, and it was one day several seasons after his training had begun that he grumbled the wrong sassy remark to one of the clan's elder warriors. angry, the she-cat struck him, and a tussle ensued in which spiderpaw gained his trademark scars. it was a surprise to the warrior and to himself when spiderpaw ended up being the one to pin her down, his face stained with the blood of his scratch but his pelt otherwise unmarred. it seemed as though spiderpaw's training had come to fruition, and no cat argued with the leader when they gave spiderpaw his warrior name─spiderbite.
