NOTABLE MARKINGS

Oakpaw is a small, fluffy tom. He has very long whiskers and his fur is mostly made up of white, brown, and black. His paws are white and his neck, part of his chest, and muzzle are white as well. The white fur of his muzzle branches up into a triangle in between his green eyes. The rest of his fur is a light brown with black tabby striping on his sides, legs, and face. Finally, his tail fades from a creamy brown to an ebony.

personality

Oakpaw is, basically, a nervous ball of fluff. He really wants to prove to others that he is capable of being a medicine cat (one day), but he gets so nervous when calculating and judgmental eyes watch his every move. He stutters at times because of his lack of confidence. Despite this, Oakpaw does his best to be a peace-maker. He doesn't like arguing or violence at all. So, he tries to remind others about logic in order to keep them from snapping at or clawing each other.

Oakpaw is a quirky tom. He likes to collect pebbles and shells and feathers (oh my!). He stores them near his nest in three pretty piles of odd things. It helps relieve his stress by finding something unique and being able to call it his own.

Finally, Oakpaw is obsessed with the unknown. He loves looking at the stars and contemplating whether they are truly their ancestors, or something the clan is completely oblivious to. Sometimes, Oakpaw will stare at the prey pile. If Clan cats go to StarClan, where does the prey go? Questions like these and many more fill the tom's brain. He will always be loyal to StarClan, though!

history

Oakpaw was born to Flowerwing and Leopardhawk, two loving warriors. Alongside him was his brother, Shrewpaw, and his sister, Splashpaw. He was the first born, and so that meant he sometimes received a small amount of special treatment from Leopardhawk. But, all in all, the kits were treated fairly given love. Throughout their moons of kithood, their personalities began to shine through. Oakkit, although the oldest, was shy and nervous. Splashpaw, the second oldest, was bubbly and goofy. Shrewpaw, the runt of the litter, was focused on being the best and only the best. Even though the three were all very different, they were close and loved to be together. This bond would flow with them through their apprenticehood and warriorship. 

Oakkit would always tend to sneak a peak into the medicine cat den. He was always too nervous to ask if he could help, however. But, one night, he had a strange dream with cats that had stars in their pelt. They told him to talk to the Medicine Cat. Normally, he was far too scared to do so, but he gained a slight amount of confidence for the moment. He did as the starry cats asked and he told the Medicine Cat about his dream the next morning. Because of this, the Medicine Cat insisted he train as a Medicine Cat Apprentice. Oakkit was excited, and while his parents were uncertain, they supported him anyway.

Soon, Oakkit became Oakpaw, the Medicine Cat Apprentice, while his siblings became Splashpaw and Shrewpaw, new warriors in training. The three were different, yes, but ready to stand by each other through thick and thin.
