22 Moons
Appearance
Bone stands at around 11 inches high at the shoulder, though his build would suggest a mixture of parents. While the tom is definitely on the taller side, he doesn't have the same kind of over musculated build that some other Cave-Guards possess. He is more lithe in shape, suggesting he is more agile than some of his guard counterparts.
The tom's pelt is a bright and stark white, with no defects across it. In the summer his pelt isn't as thick as the winter months, where he finds himself very well protected from the lake's cruel winds. Icy blue eyes compliment the tom's stark coat, of which he takes great pride in, grooming at least a few times a day to keep it as clean as possible.
Bone's face is very angular, with sharp line along his jaw and cheeks. His ears are slightly larger than the average tom, with very small white tufts at their tips. The only marking on his face is a small scuff on the bridge of his nose, which in the winter is covered by fur that makes it nearly un-noticeable.

Personality
+ Loyal, Courageous, Empathetic, Hard Working
- Easily Swayed, Quick to Snap, Naive, Jealous
Bone tows the line of being nearly dependent on others, as he grew up very close to his parents and hanging on their words. With the loss of his parents, he has attempted to fill this gap in his life with surrounding himself with as many friends and cats that will give the time of day. He very much dislikes finding himself alone for extended periods, ensuring he will at least be in the presence of others, even if not speaking directly to himself.
Loyal almost to a fault to who he believes in, but doesn't know who that is currently. The tom is easily swayed, depending on the day, as to who should be leading the clan and whether or not Fog is still alive after their disappearence. He has begun to question whether either were good for the tribe in the first place as both have seen negative effects on the tribe's well being as of late. Could easily be swayed to either side depending on his mood and the actions of those speaking to him.
That all being said, Bone is a genuinely sweet tom. He finds himself wanting a family at some point, but can't imagine bringing kits into a world where the tribe cannot sustain them with food, so has pushed the thought off settling down to the back of his mind for now. Finds himself mostly attracted to the she-cats of the clan, but will not deny male company. The tom is very untrained in the ways of wooing a mate, so finds himself socially awkward at times when alone with she-cats who he finds attractive.
History
Bone was born to two loyal tribe cats. His mother was Rainbow After Storm's End, a prey-hunter and his father was Whirlpool Gathering Foam, a stone-guard. Born a singleton, the tom was large from the very beginning, which was a constant battle as the tribe faced seemingly never ending hunger on the island for most of his life.
He struggled when it came around time to choosing his life path in the tribe, split between his mother and father's positions in the tribe and where he would best fit. Bone settled as a guard, believing that he would one day love to work alongside his father protectting the tribe and it's lands.
This was not meant to be. During his apprenticeship, the tom lost both of his parents in the fire that destroyed most of the tribe's territory. This event has caused internal turmoil as to who he supports to lead the tribe moving forward, as he felt he leaned on his parents so heavily in this part of his life. It has also drawn the tom to fill the void that his parents filled with other cats in the clan, seeking to make others proud of him and to be a good contributor towards the tribe.
Once he was named a Stone-Guard, he settled in quickly to his daily duties, though he has been pitching in wherever possible to ensure that the tribe he loves so much can be fed to the best of his ability, which is a stretch at the current moment.
