PERSONALITY:

brave, noble, and strong-willed, there truly is no better example of the epitome of a thunderclan warrior than thunderstorm. his sense of honor and justice are outclassed by none, his loyalty to the warrior code and his leader's word almost legendary. the white streak that splashes his flank in a jagged pattern is considered both a gift from starclan by his fellow clanmates, and a brand by those who live outside the clan, a symbol of defeat and knowledge of what awaits them in the battlefield against thunderclan's forces. as the son of late tigerfate, a respected and powerful warrior of thunderclan who was renowned for sweeping through the warrior games of his generation and winning all three events, thunderstorm holds great respect from many, and great expectations from his fellow peers. the same is to be said about his brother, tigerfang, and both feel the pressure that weighs down on their shoulders. the only way they've survived these pressuring gazes this long is because they've drawn strength through one another over many moons; it has been said that there is no closer bond in all of thunderclan than that of the two brothers.

protective and always carrying an aura of calm, thunderstorm is one of the more approachable cats in thunderclan, his kind eyes and friendly demeanor drawing in the smallest of kits to the weakest of elders beneath his wing. as such, he is a favored mentor for apprentices; his patience with them is strong, carefully training them in their strengths, building up their weaknesses, offering advice with a fatherly view and going over their stances with a trained eye, making sure the next generation of warriors is better than the last. he enjoys training them so much that he couldn't imagine ever becoming a deputy or leader, unable to train another apprentice unless they happened to win the warrior games' great race, and it is one of the reasons why he deliberately flunked the race when he'd been chosen for the warrior games so many moons ago, only taking the win in the battle portion to earn his warrior name, a great surprise to all thunderclan. being the target of such expectations is another reason he flunked as well, as he would rather not be known as the tom who followed in his father's pawprints, but rather one who would be known for his own unique accomplishments. sadly, the backlash he received from such thoughts, along with the added loss of both his parents, have given him a some problems with his confidence, something that brings him to push himself harder and harder each time he goes to hunt or patrol, just to prove that he had a point in losing: both to his clanmates, and to himself.

anger is a rare emotion seen on his face, although it is not a foreign one, and shadowclan knows the force behind it, as it was during a raid on thunderclan that the shadowclan deputy of the time felled tigerfate himself right before thunderstorm's eyes. since then, thunderstorm has known nothing but contempt for the clan of shadows, and has been known to outright attack anyone bearing their scent without provocation, each attack growing worse and worse and leaving injuries ranging from scrapes to gashes, and only tigerfang or wildstar can snap him out of it. in spite of this however, he is still considered a respected, if not feared, warrior even within shadowclan, although concern has been spoken out over his recent rise in aggression towards them for unknown reasons. surprisingly, love is another rare emotion seen on his features, only reserved for his twin and his younger brother hawkpaw. there are many she-cats who would give their right leg just to see him look at them with concern and admiration, let alone love, but therein lies the truest tragedy of the life of this young warrior - he has only had, and still only has, eyes for one she-cat, spanning back to their days of kithood. too bad wildstar never noticed the lengths he'd go through for her...

ENJOYS: training apprentices, spending time with his brothers, walks through the forest, seeing the sun rise, the taste of songbird, spring (new-leaf), seeing wildstar's smile, spending time with wildstar, hunting, patrolling, making friends.

DETESTS: traitors, two-legs, foxes, cold windy days, making enemies, shadowclanners, what dustface did to wildstar, wildstar's sorrow, any threat against his clan/family.

FEARS: losing the remainder of his family, hawkpaw being chosen for the warrior games, hawkpaw finding out about his true heritage, wildstar hating him.
