Personality + Physicality

Physical Description

Batblizzard is a charcoal ticked tabby tom who looks a bit purple if the sun hits his fur just right. He has a white muzzle, white throat, white ear tips, a white tail tip, white socks, and a white belly patch each tapering off at the top in a snow like disperal, which is where he gets his suffix. These white snow-like markings have appeared on his pelt as he's grown, being born with no white markings. Some may think he got the blizzard pattern from the blizzard he survived to become a warrior. His fur is jagged and droopy, looking like unfolded bat wings which is a trait carried down by his mother.

He has deep amber eyes, which he usually keeps squinted due to a slight blur in his vision that he has had since birth but when unfocused his eyes take on a wedge shape, like an orange. His nose and inner ear are a salmon pink that also translate to his paw pads. Batblizzard is taller than average his neck being a little longer than normal helps this. He's shortfurred except for his tail which has long strands of drooping fur making the bat wing shape.

Backstory

[Batkit] • [Batpaw] • [Batblizzard]

Early Life

Batkit was born to a single mother, Frostwing. No toms stepped up to claim her litter and Frostwing only stated that it was a cat from Moonclan who fathered her kits, she insisted on this even up until her death. Batkit was closest to his mother and another kit from another litter, Tigerkit. Frostwing tried to instill a faith in Starclan on the two kits constantly, perhaps it was this that led to both of them not wanting to follow the stars like the rest of their clan. They only confided in each other about this, feeling a deep trust in one another. Batkit was always jealous of the other kits in the nursery for knowing their fathers, Tigerkit was also an exception to this as his parents were rather neglectful of him themselves. This lead to the two kits beginning to feel like it was them against the world as they grew into apprentices.

Adolescence

As an apprentice, Batpaw saw less of his mother as she went back to her warrior duties. He worried that she didn't feel like making time for her anymore so he spent most of his time still with the older Tigerpaw. The two would get into everything together, usually secretly so the warriors didn't know it was them, most of the time that is. They were still their closest confidants and they had a lot of fun finally being apprentices although when Tigerpaw's disbelief in Starclan turned into a scorn that Batpaw didn't understand. Still he supported his friend until one day Frostwing got sick. She wasn't recovering, growing more and more ill until one day her body could handle it anymore and she passed away. Batpaw was devestated, after all his mother was the only family he had. Losing her forced Batpaw's perspective on Starclan to change, afterall he wanted to believe in some sense that his mother was still watching over him and that she wasn't just gone forever. He asked his clanmates, each giving their viewpoints on Starclan and how they exist. Using this new knowledge, Batpaw managed to finally started to form a belief in Starclan and when he went to Tigerpaw with this new viewpoint, Tigerpaw was furious. Not so much that Batpaw believed in Starclan now but that he was leaving Tigerpaw alone. The two had a massive fight, Tigerpaw scratching Batpaw's face and leaving him with a very faint scar. After this, the two never really talked anymore, Batpaw growing closer with other cats in his age group while Tigerpaw seems to get left behind. He became friends with Bluebellpaw shortly before his warriors assessment.

Adulthood

Batblizzard earned his name after finishing his assessment after a blizzard had descended. The cats in the clan were worried that he would get hurt, lost, or freeze but he returned with three pieces of prey. He was exhausted, freezing, and near frostbite but he was alive. He was given the suffix -blizzard due to this accomplisment during the assessment but also because of his white, snow-like patterns that looked like spots left on him by the raging snow. His warrior life was simple, he had fallen in love with Bluebellhum but when she chose another cat over him, he accepted this and did his best to move on and let her be happy. However, after Bluebellhum's love life came to a tragic end, Batblizzard stepped up to comfort her. This led to the two of them becoming closer again, soon growing so close that Batblizzard built up the courage to ask her to be his mate. He was above the moon with happiness at this, glad that Bluebellhum was willing to be mates after everything. Batblizzard became Fawnstar's deputy after training his first apprentice and he recently started to train a new apprentice. He saved Foxkit from falling off the cliffs when she was a kit and soon after he became deputy and has noticed her adoration for him but has been trying not to indulge her too much so that it doesn't become unhealthy.

Relationships

STANDING

Clan / Moonclan

---

For the first moons of his life, Batblizzard has a strange relationship with Moonclan's reliance on Starclan, believing them impossible and unreal. This lead to him feeling isolated from all of his clanmates but his friend, who held the same beliefs as him. However, when tragedy struck Batblizzard's life, he began to think about Starclan again and he came to terms with his beliefs and restored his faith in the clan. Now he is loyal to Moonclan's beliefs, even if he doesn't always believe in the ways Starclan is portrayed by his clanmates.

As the deputy, he is held in high regard amongst his clanmates but there will always be some who don't like him or agree with how he handles situations. Especially his ex-friend who avoids him like his life depends on it. He likes to believe he is making the right choices and has the favor of at least most of his clanmates.

Bluebellhum

| |

Batblizzard has known Bluebellhum since they were young, however only getting close to her when they were warriors. He was content watching her from afar when he realized he has a crush on her, even though he felt a small bit of upset being passed over for the idea of a mate. However, when Bluebellhum's mate betrayed her, he was there for her in any way he could be, comforting her and trying to help her pick herself up again. This led to them becoming mates.

Batblizzard does his best to be a doting mate to match his adoring Bluebellhum. He never wants to hurt her like her past mate did and he's excited to someday have kits with her, whenever she is ready of course. He would go to war for her and knows she would do the same.
