PERSONALITY:

a silent force, a cloud with a storm waiting in its belly, an enemy approaching from the shadows... swiftbreeze is the epitome of strong and silent. he's never one to butt his head into affairs that don't concern him and would much rather stay to himself and his den instead of in between the hustle and bustle of cats. he has never been the most social tom after the death of both of his siblings and often has trouble discerning the meaning of friendships and bonds after being sheltered as his mother and father's only remaining kit.

becoming a medicine cat was never his intention. swiftbreeze spent most of his training as an apprentice readying himself for the trials of warriorhood. after the incident that killed his brother and scarred his throat, he shifted the roles his paws were once set on. if he couldn't protect his own family, how could he defend his clan with tooth and claw? swiftbreeze has a very low self esteem, one that is remedied with the relaxing scent of herbs and knowing that he can help his clanmates in ways other than with his brittle claws. at times, his whiskers still itch for the thrill of battle and the rush of blood pounding in his ears, but he knows his duties to his clan. swiftbreeze also knows that peace can sometimes only be obtained by violence. while he understands pacifist views, he doesn't always agree with them.

swiftbreeze does not hold up to the gentle medicine cat stereotype. he is blunt and straight to the point. he speaks his mind and will offer an honest opinion whether he has been asked for it or not. he does not mean to be rude or imposing, but he believes that cats that hold their tongues are weak and shallow. swiftbreeze is a giver of advice and a strong companion if you take the time to break through his tough exterior. he may seem distant from his clan and place up a faux "i-could-care-less" attitude, he worries more than he lets on.

[anything else?]

as a newly made apprentice, swiftbreeze - then swiftpaw - and his brother, owlpaw, were attacked by an eagle. it was owlpaw's idea to hunt it as their first catch and in the process, the two were badly injured by the bird. swiftbreeze received a gash over his neck that has hindered his voice slightly, while owlpaw, too startled to react, was nearly taken up in the creature's mighty talons. the wounds on his sides were grave and owlpaw died due to infection.
