Bleedingpaw
10 Moons old
Male he/him/his
Shadowclan ex outsider
Apprentice
Mentor: Brairsplash (squidz)
Among the throngs of eager young cats in the rushing about in a desperate bid to be the best shadowclan has ever seen some have a little of a harder time then others. Its simply life that all are not created equal, and be it by genetics or a twist of fate the clan is not uncommon to see disabilities in the crowd. However combine the disability with his personality and looks and no matter how you spin it Bleedingpaw is an interesting little creature.
​
On first glance he's just a random rather beautiful tomcat, a rare cashmere bengal only found in show cats. However observe but a single movement and the air of elegance is lost. Afflicted with cerebellar hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome) Bleedingpaw was abandoned to Shadowclan for this disability and as a result he has developed an.... Odd character.
​
He is desperate to be wanted and terrified of being abandoned for being a 'worthless freak' and so goes above and beyond in a bid to both keep up with his peers and excel as much as possible to be useful. This however, is also a flaw and one that will eventually push the tom too far. Bleedingpaw is a kind cat, a good one, but good isnt valued in shadowclan and he will do anything as long as it means he's wanted in the clan.​

Active, Missing, Dead
A silky furred tom with blond/gold bengal spotting and select grey back spots and blue eyes.
He is a skinny oriental longhair, in good body condition but naturally lean and a head taller then the average cat.
No current scars.
Has wobbly cat syndrome making him clumsy and shaky.
Bleedingpaw smells of warm hay and cool stone, overlaid with the scent of blood (usually his from minor scrapes).
Due to his condition Bleedingpaw has a very odd gait and wobbles and shakes when he walks, unable to walk in a straight line. The tom can still run fast and doesn't fall often however, he is fully mobile just obviously 'off'.
