Description:

The ashen color of deep black covers each inch of Heronfeather's lean and skinny body. With long legs and very pronounced bones that jut out of his fur, cats might mistake him for being a MoonClan cat, but of course, he doesn't really have full RavenClan heritage either with his father being from the city. Heronfeather's body is lithe and his fur smooth and velvety, covering each and every bone that sticks strangely out.

Heronfeather has a triangular face. His nose is a deep black, darker then his fur actually, and his whiskers that surround the nose are a dark gray color, and they don't really stand out very much, for they're not that long. The strangest thing about Heronfeather would have to be his eyes. A deep, chocolate brown, they melt right into him and his dark fur. They almost look like they are just black pools of liquid, but they're not, they're brown, with a deep black pupil of course. And the same colored, short whiskers rise up from above his eyes and droop down like most cats have. On top of Heronfeather's head rests two traingular, regular sized ears.

Heronfeather's weapons, as he likes to call them, taking after his aunt Auburnstar, are all very sharp and ready to fight, even if this tom doesn't want to. Each and every one of his claws are an ivory white color that glisten in both the sunlight and the moonlight. They are long and hooked, and aren't often seen out of his paws, but sometimes can be noticed. Heronfeather's fangs on the other hand are shown quite often, but not in a hostile way, in a "smile" way. Heronfeather opens his mouth when his lips curve into a smile to show his creamy white teeth that are yellowing at the gums, but still beautiful and long.

Personality:

Is the glass half empty, or half full?
To Heronfeather, it's half full. The ash colored tom is always looking on the bright side, he's seeing the word with more colors then anybody else. He lives everyday to its fullest, not telling himself that it could be his last, but telling himself that life is short and he needs to live it with as much pleasure as possible. Heronfeather is one of those cats that lives in the moment, and doens't exactly worry about what will happen tomorrow, or the day after that. He lets the world surround him with its beauty and waits for the moment to come instead of approaching the moment.

Heronfeather is an extremely loyal cat. His kin being the leader, he feels he needs to work even harder to show that he won't let them down because if he does anything wrong, they could blame Auburnstar as well. Yes, that's Heronfeather, always thinking of others before himself. Making sure that he's not the only one safe, but everybody is.

Even though Heronfeather is a really sweet and gentle cat, he's often quiet, and in the slightest way he is somewhat depressed. I know, it doesn't make much sense, optimistic, yet depressed at the same time? It's not really a bad depression it's more like a pondering depression. Heronfeather often wonders why cats were put on the earth, why he was put on the earth, in this forest. He wonders if maybe the world would be better off without him. He isn't sure, but these are the things he thinks about, and the thoughts aren't likely to go away anytime soon.

History:

Heronfeather was born into RavenClan, not unlikely, yet not really likely either to find a whole bunch of clan born cats. However, his father wasn't from the clan. Pinethroat, and his sister Auburnleaf (Auburnstar now) came to the clan when they were apprentices. Then, Pinethroat met Heronfeather's mother Riversong. The two of them fell in love and bore two kits, one being Heronkit and the other being Aquakit. Heronfeather was almost the exact image of his father, Pinethroat while Aquakit was a mix of both their beautiful RavenClan mother and their city cat father. The four-cat family was happy, smiles always on their faces.

However, their happiness didn't last forever. When Heronkit and Aquakit were three moons of age, greencough was sent spiraling through the forest. Sadly, Aquakit caught it and being only three moons, she wasn't strong enough to fight it off. Riversong also caught the sickness, but being an older queen, she was able to stay strong and get better, however, not better enough. In a battle between some loners that were trespassing, Riversong was killed. The loners fled after that, not wanting to get in more trouble, they hadn't meant to kill one of the cats, they were only playing around. Pinethroat was heartbroken. He was quiet and rarely spoke, not even to Heronkit. He ended up dying of starvation because he wouldn't eat.

At the age of 6 moons, Heronkit was apprenticed to his aunt, Auburnleaf. The two of them bonded really well, talking to each other lots and Heronpaw learned a lot while he spent time with her, not just warrior things either. She would tell him stories of Pinethroat and her old life.

At 12 moons, Heronpaw became Heronfeather, right after Auburnleaf was made deputy of RavenClan. Heronfeather was extremely proud of his kin, and of his mentor and the two of them stayed close even after his apprenticeship was over.

A while later, Windstar left RavenClan to hunt with StarClan, and Auburnleaf became Auburnstar. Heronfeather and Auburnstar are still close, but not as close as before, for Auburnstar has more duties now that she must take care of. Heronfeather understands though, he doesn't have anything against her for not spending as much time with him.

So that's where the tom is today, working hard as a warrior. He hasn't had an apprentice yet, but is hoping to get one soon.
