Basic Information
Name: Stingheart.
Past Names: He was known as Stingkit as a kit. Also as Stingpaw as an apprentice.
Age: He is seventeen moons old; one year and five months in our time.
Gender: Tom.
Blood Lines: Stingheart is a complete Shadowclanner. However, his real breed is a unknown. The picture came from La Boca, Buenos Aires.

Clan
Clan: Shadowclan.
Rank: Warrior.
Loyalties: Stingheart is very loyal to his Clan, though he tells himself that he is no longer worthy of them because of his relationship that he stills longs for with Lizard. This shows his devotion to his Clan quite well.

Appearance
Eye Color: Stingheart has dark golden eyes that look of liquid flax when turned towards the light. They have always have a shine in them, be it for any kind of cause. They are the most noteable when he is looking at his true love, for them melt and burn with such a heart-scorching intensity.
Pelt Length: Stingheart has a pretty cut down coat. There is no real thickness to it, except for during the winter, which is then becomes pretty much a carpet of fur. He loves his coat for its protectiveness, most of his fur stiffened like a shield.
Pelt Color: Stingheart is a pretty bland color-- mocha. However, it is the way that these tans and browns mix together that make him handsome. Though most of his form is cloaked in a light brown slate there are other mixtures to his coat. He has some white, it lingering around his maw and at the tip of his tail. He also has some black and dark grey in him from the markings. Sometimes his coat takes on a reddish hint.
Pelt Markings: Stingheart has a tabby marked coat, the darker stripes that pretty much pattern his entire coat what makes this known. The most obvious markings are the 'm' on his forehead, and the angled lines on his back.
Scars/Injuries: There are a couple of scars here and there, scattered on his form from various activites. The most recent one is the claw markings that ripped a part of his shoulder-skin off, creating a scar where the skin peeled back.
Build: Stingheart is a Shadowclanner, and so has the build of a Shadowclanner. His muscles are primarily in the upper-body area, bulking his shoulders for offensive attack. His legs aren't quite as well-worked, simply for the fact that Shadowclan training is often centric around the aspects of battle rather then ones flight distance when face with a situation that requires such. The toughest part of his training was actually the hunting, and often does not wander too long in camp as to be chosen for such. Other features about him are his face, which is some-what narrowed inwards, yet broad towards the mouth. This gives off a face that looks as though it is smelling something sour. The way that his eyes fit into his face is perfect, the two golden beauties fitting directly where they should. His ears are fanned out and fragile looking, the only thing that looks fragile on the bulked tom.

Family
Mother: Heathertail, this she-cat is deceased.
Father: Cliffjumper. Stingheart's dad is still alive and still uses his skills to protect Shadowclan.
Sisters: Turtlebite, his sister is also still part of the living and of Shadowclan.
Brothers: He has no litter-mate brothers, but from his parent's second litter there are three who he has to consider his brothers; Raggedkit, Waspkit, and Lynxkit.
Crushes: Stingheart is still trying to overcome his feelings for the loner she-cat, Lizard. Though he has no spoken or seen her since the day before her exile from Windclan, his thought process is constantly dragging on about her. He wishes it would stop, but he thinks that he adores her too much.
Mate: He doesn't have a mate at this current moment, but is looking around Shadowclan for a girl to get his mind off of Lizard. He hasn't spotted one that he likes yet, and probably won't. His heart is golden she-cat centric.
Kits: He's love to have kits with Lizard, but knowing that the only way he could do that would be to leave the Clan or get Lizard to join him in Shadowclan, he does not think it is possible. Another choice is to find another she-cat, but that doesn't seem to be working for him either.
Relationship: At this moment in time all of Stingheart's relationships are rocky. His family is off-center with him, trying to understand why he would want a Windclan apprentice. He is having a hard time getting use to his three brothers and often avoids them at all costs. His friends, or rather, ex-friends refuse to speak to him. It seems that his Clan has abandoned him.

Personality
Dreams/Desires: Stingheart has, since his meetings with Lizard were discovered, ended all dreams of ever becoming a deputy and eventually leader. He knows that the relationship was wrong and now all of the cats that once spoke to him don't. The only thing that he dreams is that everything could go back to normal, except at that time all of his Clanmates accepted his intimacy with Lizard instead of rejecting his efforts to explain.
Likes: He is a watcher of sunsets, especially with the one that he adores. He thinks that the best kind of days are those spent with a faint drizzle falling from the sky. His favorite memories are his times as a child and those spent in secret with his beloved. There are other things he enjoys that are ever so insignificant, such as the sound of the wind.
Dislikes: There is something inside of Stingheart that makes him very aggressive towards his father, like he had been with his mother before she passed on. There is a likeliness that because of that disliking of his parents that it has bled onto their second litter, which is also part of his darker sided mind. He also is fairly sour towards close-minded cats.
Personality: Stingheart is a loyal, passionate Shadowclanner. He is avid in believing the Warrior Code even though he himself had broken it not a couple of weeks ago. He is very open-minded to ideas that are not his own, though he will state his opinion on what he thinks here and there. His open-mindedness probably comes from being in situations that were controversial. Though Stingheart is compassionate, especially to the few that he truly holds close, there is a darker side to him. He is fairly disobidient, and was as an apprentice. He is an independant soul, taking a heavy dislike to being ordered around by others in the Clan, even if they were older. He still has these feelings inside of him though he doesn't express them as openly as he had when he was younger and more foolish. All in all, Stingheart is an independant soul dedicated to the ways of his ancestors. And a little obsessed, but everyone needs something to long for.

History
Past Illnesses: Stingheart has no suffered from anything horrible, neither has he been injured in a serious way.
History: Stingheart was born spring of seventeen moons ago to the then living she-cat Heathertail and her protective mate, Cliffjumper. He was born with a single sibling, at the time called Turtlekit. The kithood of Stingheart was a simple and trite ritual. He played with the other kits in his age group and often protected his sister from cruel words sent her way. He was ambitious even as a kitten to become deputy, his eyes always looking to the deputy and leader when they spoke to his Clanmates. He liked the sense of authority they had and so this was the beginning of his admiration.

Stingheart was Stingpaw by the time that he realized that he didn't like his father, at all. There wasn't much else occuring in Stingheart's life at that moment in them. He just stumbled upon the though that Cliffjumper was a grouch and too over-protective. It was a pretty typical feeling for someone his age, but it carried on over to this day. Its a strange thing, to despise your own father.

Stingheart was around his turning point into a warrior when his mother, Heathertail died soon after the birth of her second litter. It meant that the kits were left to be taken care of by Cliffjumper. For some reason, whenever Stingheart sees the kits he just feels so sick of them. He doesn't ponder much over them, only asking himself once or twice if he would like them or not in the future. He doesn't like to think of anything that came out of Heathertail, which would mean himself as well.

This tom's life changed when he met Lizard, at the time Lizardpaw, at a gathering one night. He had just been named his warrior name, Stingheart. He had sat next to her without even looking, and when she began to speak to him after the end of the gathering, he couldn't help but take an interest in her. She seemed very curious about who he was, and not in the way that would be considered flirtacious. She was genuinely perplexed about who he was. Lizard became the love of his life, and still is today. Their relationship was the cause for her exile.

Now Stingheart lives quite tiredly inside of camp, traveling outwards whenever he can. He had been in camp-contriction for a week after the whole Lizard thing. Now he just wants to see her again, though he constantly feels the pressures of eyes around him as his Clanmates continue to look at him in a different way.
Place of Birth: He was born in the Shadowclan nursery dens.
Important Events: The moment that he became an apprentice. The birth of his three brothers, which was the prequel to his mother's death. Meeting Lizard, falling in love with her, and then her exile. His indirect rejection from the other cats in his Clan. Nothing else has been that exciting as of now.
Role Models: Who does Stingheart look up too? There is no definite answer for this one. He has a respect for most of the senior warriors in the Clan, but nothing close to admiration. He definitely doesn't look up to his father.
