Description:
Finchnose is a longhaired red classic tabby tom. He has a white belly , neck and paws. As well as a white blaze on his nose. His eyes are amber and smallish. He has long whiskers and big tufted ears. His tail is long and well coated in fur.
Finchnose is of medium build, he's a little on the plump side. However that's a general Riverclan trait, since they have a reliable prey source and are quite good at catching it. He also has webbed feet, a weird mutation that seems to run in his family. It makes him a very good swimmer, an advantage when you're a Riverclan cat.
He always has a somewhat preoccupied or distracted look on his face. However this is because he's always lost in thought. So if you talk to him when he looks like this, he's likely to not notice you, or jump out of his skin. Or both.
Personality:
Finchnose, as his name might lead one to believe, is very curious. In fact he has insatiable curiosity. When he first started speaking the very first word out of his mouth was "why". It has been an often repeated question throughout his life.
Despite being quite bright, Finchnose is distractible and weird. Other cats sometimes snicker at him behind his back because of this. However he either doesn't notice, or doesn't really care what they think of him. He's far too busy figuring out the mysteries of the universe, or why that leaf is shaped that way.
He can spend hours just contemplating a cloud and why it changes shape. More than anything he just wants to know. To him the best things in the world are the answers to "where?" "what?" "how?" "who?" and "why?". Of course not all cats share his view and often want to tell him "Just because!"
History:
About 20 Moons ago two young cats met and fell in love. Their names were Specklenose and Salmonheart. They did everything together, and eventually one thing led to another and Specklenose ended up in the Nursery pregnant with kits. She gave birth to for little balls of fuzz. Proud of her first litter she named them Minnowkit, Smudgekit, Clamkit and the last one she named Finchkit.
Thought it was a time of upheaval Specklenose did her best to make sure that her children had the most normal kithood possible. She was quite successful and aside from an incident where Finchkit almost died from getting out of camp and eating deathberries. Luckily his distraught mother found him and brought him back to the camp.
The medicine cat was able to save him. And as soon as he was better he was grounded until he had his apprentice ceremony. His mother had to be sure that he wouldn't do something as mousebrained again.
However within two days his constant questions had driven her to distraction and she kicked him out to go talk to the elders. They were amused by his curiosity and were able to deal with his non-stop questions more easily than his over-worked mother.
He was apprenticed to a firm and stoic she-cat called Blazestone, who didn't take his antics lightly. However she still had a hard time control dealing with the curious and impulsive cat. And even she had to crack a smile at the time he sniffed at, then licked a bee. She was able to calm him down enough to get him back to camp. After he ran around in a circle for a while yelping in pain of course for a while.
She pushed him in his training, being firm but fair and stopping when she saw that he was getting too distracted. With her careful mentoring he showed all the skills of being a well rounded warrior for the clan.
At twelve moons he and his siblings were trained well enough to be made warriors of the clan. And just in time, with the lack of cats to fight for the clan, they needed every paw they could get.
Finchnose has spent many times taking his sister outside of the camp, the last trip outside the camp caused Rainkit to end up with a mouse biting her paw.
