Description: He has a long, lean build with flowing fur. In fact most of his bulk is fur. And there isn't much bulk. He's not a muscular cat in the least. He has a rather she-cat like build, leading most cats to mistake him for one on their first meeting with the tom. The fact that he smells like forget-me-nots doesn't help the fact in the least.
He has a small head, to go with his small body. However he has rather intense eyes, they stand out from his rich black pelt like a twin pair of moons in a starless sky. That is, they're rather greyish. His ears are somewhat big and are rather sensitive.
Personality:
Others who see Nightflower think the tom leads a charmed life. He is playful, and unconcerned by the bore of daily errands and problems. When things go wrong for him, he just shrugs and smiles. After all it really is no big deal. When it comes to life, he tends to take risks, this often lands him in trouble from which he has to be rescued.
Though he has been a warrior for over a year, his youthfulness and kitlike attitude have not yet faded. He dislikes responsibility, and would rather play all day. Despite being afraid of commitment, and being tied down, he still has a big heart. He is very loving, and is always happy to be there for other cats. However he sometimes has his own troubles that he needs to let others know about.
Though he has lived though trauma, he has suppressed the memories, from day to day he doesn't remember loosing his siblings or his mother. However if a kit ever dies, he often goes into shock for several days, caught in a waking nightmare where he watched his siblings starve one by one and there was nothing he could do about it.
Cats leaving the clan also have a bad affect on him. Once again, relating to his history and the barely repressed memories of his beloved sister Tanglepaw.
Nightflower likes being around the older females of the clan, not because he loves them, but because he sees a mother figures in them. He'll never argue, and is happy to sacrifice his own opinion to keep the peace.
He loves gatherings, and meeting new cats. Though he is shy, he finds new people fascinating. They're so interesting and can tell amazing stories. He doesn't really see the need for such hate between the clans. He really doesn't quite understand why everyone just can't get along. There's enough prey to go around now, every thing is fine.
History:
Nightflower has always behaved rather, feminine, ever since he was a kit in the nursery with his four sisters, Meadowkit, Tanglekit, Toadkit and Rowankit. Of the five kits in the litter only Nightflower became a warrior. His mother died when he was only about a moon and a half, if even that. There were no other queens to give milk. Sadly three of his sisters, Meadowkit, Toadkit and Rowankit starved to death. Nightkit and Tanglekit were able to adjust to solid food before they became too malnourished to even eat. However this early life trauma led to him always being rather small. His sister was never quite right in the head again after. At six moons old both of the young kits were apprenticed. Nightpaw wasn't the best warrior out there, and his sister always had her head in the clouds. Their father could only watch his two remaining kits and shake his head in dejection. Then, only a quartermoon before they were to become warriors Tanglepaw went missing. No remains were found and her tail led out of clan lands. It was assumed that she left the clans. No one quite knew the reason, and it was assumed because she had always been a little odd. However Nightpaw was deviststed, his sister was the only person he could really turn to, and now she had left him. He became more closed off, and shy. He was quiet, unsure of himself and would jump if you talked to him.
It was around this time that he noticed something different about him. He never really noticed she-cats, ad found himself attracted to toms. At first he thought there was something wrong with him, but after deep thought he decided to accept this and look for love like any other cat.
However he passed his warrior tests, barely. After passing his tests Nightpaw was made into a warrior, and the gentle tom was given the name Nightflower.
That night Nighflower sat vigil, as he did he kept his eyes open, praying that his sister would return. She didn't.
Nightflower spent his early warrior days doing normal warrior tasks. It has been hard for him to find love. Until he started noticing a warrior called Lightheart, maybe. Just maybe love was for him too.
