Personality: This tom is long-lived. Being one of the oldest in the tribe and assuming to be the wisest. Not. He has the heart of a kit and the mind of a juvenile. Since being a kitty-pet most of his life, he isn't too brave and rather than scrapping about he'd run away. He can hold his own, there's no question about that, he'd just rather not risk it. He is loyal though and if it was required of him to fight for friends and family, he would do it with out question. His hunting skills are a bit rusty. The past moons hes been polishing them and has become pretty good, but not other-worldly. Hes a sweet cat and loves telling tales and stories to young kits. Watching their faces light up with the wonder lifts his heart. He can be usually found either sunning himself in the warm rays or off exploring the surrounding areas.

Appearance: White tom with a tan "tux". He has a brown "saddle" that trails up his head to his ears and his right jaw. Has a patch on one eye and white socks on his feet. His tail ends in a black tuft from which he gets half of his name. He has copper eyes, a pink nose, and a brown stripe that looks like a cut on his lip. His fur is longer on his cheeks, elbows, head, and tail.

Full History:
|Kit| - He was born to a kittypet mother,Fluffs, and a clan father, Sparrowfeather. Youngest to two siblings, Lark and MiniFluffs. He was feeble and weak and his parents believed he would die. He did not, as it seems to happen to many. He was kept mostly outdoors so they wouldn't be taken by his mother's twoleg owner, and he enjoyed his life for the time. He was told stories of how his mother met their father and what the clans were. He was taught the way of the clans and got to play pretend with his sisters of living in made up clans. He could see the happiness in his fathers eyes when he watched them play clan life. He even joined in on occasion. When the kits were almost five moons, his mother offered to let Sparrowfeather take Lark back to the clans with him. Patches was furious she didn't suggest him. He moped about but he was happy that Lark got the chance. He said sad good-byes to his father and Lark, vowing that he would join the clan when he was stronger. He watched them disappear over the fence and didn't see them since. Eventually at seven moons his mother took him and his remaining sister to the elderly twoleg that took care of her. A few days later he, his sister, and mother were separated into different households.
|Kitty-Pet| - As a kitty-pet he missed his family. Ending up sneaking out to find them. Through numerous outings and after many moons, he eventually was able to find where his sister was placed. And to his surprise she had kits. Three little fuzzballs to call his nieces and nephew, respectfully. The eldest tom was the spitting image of his father, Sparrowfeather, and named Sparrow in his honer, the middle she-cat was dull brown and named Vitani, finally the youngest she-cat was a creamy ling-haired kit named Heather. Every chance he could get away he would go over to visit to play and check up on them. Sad to say, over time he ran into more and more rogue cats on his ventures and eventually had to give up seeing his remaining family for fear of death. He fell into a depressed state and could only dream of what his family was doing. Especially his father and Lark. At some point the twolegs he stayed with took him to what he assumed was the cutter. The cold twoleg jotted some things down, gave him a few shots, and he was soon free to go. Patches was confused as to why cats were so afraid of going there but decided that it was safer to not go back rather than risking himself going there again. He ran away from his owners and never looked back. He ran to the only place he knew, his sister's home. When he arrived he was appalled to see that one of the kits was missing. Young Vitani had ran away after feeling ganged up on by her parents. He helped both MiniFluffs and her mate, Ghost, look for her. Days turned into weeks and weeks into moons. No sight of her at all. By the time five moons had passed they assumed she had died. Patches decided that he would stay with his sister until she had recovered from the loss a little more. He told her kits, now much older, stories that his father had told him when he was little. He watched as the spark in his sister's eyes returned slowly. Watching her kits play clan life as they had when they were little. Soon he felt that he needed to move on. He was restless, something which he had never felt before. He said good-bye to the small family.
|Loner| - His first days out were long and hard. As a kit his father taught him how to crudely catch prey, and he wished he had payed attention better. He managed though and he found that he no longer felt out of breath when he ran for long amounts of time. He worked off his kitty-pet fat and figured out the tricks to catch prey better. The main trouble he had were rogues. He ended up building endurance and losing them in twists and turns. He got lost many times before he arrived at his location.The far edge of twoleg place where he ran into Kai. The orange tom told him of a tribe he was forming with some of the loners, rogues, and kitty-pets. After hearing the explanation he replied that he'd think about it for a bit. He wandered back to his make-shift home and imagined living without the rogues constantly chasing him. He thought about how they ran things and something clicked. It all sounded like the clans. The next day he made a decision.
|Full-time Provider| - The transfer wasn't that hard. He had practiced living like that for his whole kit-hood. He was able to learn more about his hunting posture and how to catch prey other than rats and the occasional pigeon. He relished the feeling of having someone watching his back and someone to chat with. His story is far from over and he is still looking for what happened to his father and sister.
To Be Continued...

Roleplay Example: "Larkwing licked Robinstar's cheek as he passed. 'And I love you.' she mewed back. She listened to what he had to say before she padded over to gather her kits. 'Come on.' she told them. 'We must say our good-byes to Bonebreaker.' she mewed realizing that no clan mates had died since before their kitting. She looked over to Crookedpath and smiled quietly before she guided the two sad apprentices over to her body. She felt the wind rustle her pelt and looked up closing her eyes. 'He will go to StarClan now and he will be with cats who will welcome him warmly.' she mewed to them, trying to calm their cries.
------------------------------------
Sappaw nodded to Nettlepaw. 'Forever.' he echoed. He looked up at his parents and smiled weakly. He got up with his tail still resting on his brother's shoulders and walked over to Larkwing. He looked over at his friend's body just as the wind ruffled his pelt. He squinted his eyes against it before looking at the cream pelted warrior. 'Bye Bonebreaker. Congratulations on receiving your name.' he whispered."

Karma that Strikes Back: |/| - This tom has been through a lot. I've heard rumors about him.

The Real Artist Comments:
So yes, this is Larkwing's elusive brother Patches. He is Ryepaw's, Nettletooth's, Sappaw's, and Crookedpath's uncle.
I love the markings I gave him and his line-art was probably the fastest I've ever done.
His history contains the past of both him and his family and his part in all of it. Love him to pieces!
