Positive Traits
positive >
    >> Polite > Mothheart is very respectful toward the authorities and cats older than him, also towards cat of his own age and younger. He wants to be treated well so he does the same. It is almost impossible to see him answering rudely to someone even if he doesn't get along very well with him.
    >> Charming > He is a pleasant and attractive tom cat who with his soothing voice, can sweet talk many. He has a calm demeanor and always seems to know exactly what to say to someone. It makes him out to be a rather lovely cat to be around.
    >> Optimistic >  Moth is usually a "half glass full" kind of cat. He looks for the best in other cats and their intentions, but is still able to be a realist as well. If a cat is being rude, he's able to identify this, but does his best to assume that their justification behind their behavior has positive undertones. He firmly believes that nothing is black and white, and that looking for the good in others is the best way to go about living.

neutral >
    >> Sceptical > Even though Moth is a nice and kind cat, he is also a cat who is often very hard to convince. He will most likely only trust you if you are a reliable source of information. He usually makes a lot of questions about it just to be sure that you are not lying to him.
    >> Loving > Mothheart really like to show some affection and love to his closest friends. He tries not to be too annoying but sometimes he can help to give love and support. And sometimes he can get hurt if the other cat doesn't seem to care so much about him.
    >> Curious > He will poke his nose wherever he thinks he found something interesting. Actually he saying ''The curiosity killed the cat'' really suits him. His curiosity can drive him sometimes to bad or wrong situations and then he has to pay the consequences.

negative >
    >> Perfectionist > This is something he's severely guilty about having. Everything has to be perfect. If his nest isn't comfortable, he won't stop fixing it until it's comfortable.
    >> Risk-taker > He can take his dedication really seriously sometimes. Even though he can think pretty well, doesn't always make the best choice. If the benefit is for his kin will choose the more dangerous course of life to provide.
    >> Forgetful > He may be smart and young still, but he tends to sometimes forget names of cats he just talked to or how many prey he had caught so far. He is trying to get a better memory because he knows that this can affect him some day.

kithood [ 0 - 6 moons ] >
    Mothkit was born in Cloudclan during green-leaf season. Since he was born the only family that he knew was his mother, and he never needed anyone else; she always was very loving and supportive. His father, Birchheart is a tom from Cloudclan. He was Sandtail's mate until he left her because he didn't want to have kits. He doesn't hold any grudge towards him, actually he thinks he and his mother are better off without him. He always wanted to explore outside the nursery and play with the other kits, but also was very polite towards anyone.

apprenticeship [ 6 - 12 moons ] >
    When he turned 6 moons old, he got his apprentice ceremony, and he got Flowersmoke as his mentor. He was pretty excited but nervous at the same time, he only wanted to be the best apprentice for his new mentor.
Through his apprenticeship, Cloudclan got chased off his territory by The Storm, and he ran to Hailclan to follow his mentor Flowersmoke, but his mother Sandtail ran to Marshclan. He participated in some battles, and he also participated in the attempt to reunite the clan at the Hope Bridge, but it failed. Some moons later, he received the news that his mother Sandtail got killed by The Storm on a patrol, and he was really sad. He only had Flowersmoke left, and that's why he is so important to him. And during his stance in Hailclan, he accomplished his training, getting his new name Mothheart and becoming a Cloudclan warrior.

warriorhood [ 12 - 31 moons ] >
    Now as a warrior, he is preparing himself to take back his home, the place where he was born. He is a kind and loving warrior, but he doesn't hesitate to defend and protect his clanmates and now the friends that he has made in Hailclan. He just hopes that his mother is proud of him, and he really wished her to see him becoming a warrior.
He participated in the final battle against The Storm, and he got his scar while fighting with an omega. Cloudclan took back his territory and they were finally home.
When he turned 16 moons old he got his first apprentice, Quailkit! He never expected to have an apprentice so soon, but he was so happy! He felt a little nervous and insecure, but the young apprentice needed someone strong and confident, and he was determined to teach them all what Flowersmoke taught him and not less important, encourage and protect them.
His big heart and curiosity dragged him to accidentally meet a Marshclan she-cat, Dovemask. The molly was stunning and beautiful, obviously from a different kind. Mothheart wasn't looking for a romance right now, but the idea of having a thing in secret with her was thrilling thought. They started a secret relationship, and even when having to wait a lot of time to see her again, not being able to spend the night together and their clans being rivals was hard for him, he was decided. They loved each other and that was the only thing that mattered.
But it all changed one day in a Gathering... he attended to it with all the motivation to see his loved one, and there she was, but a few moments after, she announced to him that she was expecting kits. He never felt more divided, because he wanted to stay in Cloudclan with Flowersmoke, and Quailpaw, and the cats that raised him. But if he stayed in Cloudclan, he would be the same garbage that Birchfoot was. And that was the moment that he decided to leave his clan once that Quailpaw finished their training.
As he promised, as soon as Quailpaw's warrior ceremony finished, he announced his departure, and joined Marshclan to be with his mate and kits.
He was finally with Dovemask and his kits, he left everything for his new family, but sadly not all his kits were very happy; Mantiskit and Spiderkit didn't trust him at all, and Beepaw took some time to accept him. He didn't blame them, he just appeared into their lives suddenly, but it still hurt that they didn't want him near them.
And just when he was finally adapting to his new clan, Emberclan started a war against Cloudclan, making Marshclan allie with Emberclan, while Hailclan joined Cloudclan. He was going to fight his former clanmates, his former family... He was so unsure and afraid.
He hated the war, but he know had to be a role model for his kits, so they never repeat his mistakes.
His kits ranked up, and the war began, clanmates died and he felt awful; all he wanted was peace, to be sure that his kits were going to have a safe world to live in.
He started to interact with Sandslash, his deputy and technically part of his family since he was Coalfrost's mate, who was Dovemask's sibling.
Shortly after he got to mentor Stonepaw, a shy and quiet young tom, and he was very proud; all he wanted was to help him to be more confident and one day become a great warrior.
Day after, Sandslash openly told him that he didn't trust him, and that he wasn't going to be able to keep his new life up. But Mothheart proved him wrong a few days later after he sacrificed himself for him, getting killed by his former clanmate Zephyrfrost.
His vocal cords were damaged so he had to give his last words in sign language; while Sandslash, Cicadapaw, Beepaw and Spiderpaw (who finally recognized him as his father) were by his side, until he passed away.
