Leoaprd face

lichen clan

spotted tom with golden eyes

Leopardface was named by his mother for his Bengal pelt; Particularly because it resembles those of their ancestors in Leopardclan. With golden hues and burnt spots and stripes, the tom is overall attractive for his unique appearance exclusively.

In addition to the pattern, Leopardface's pelt is particularly sleek and shiny. Due to its satiny nature and short fur, Leopardface is able to put minimal effort maintaining its appearance. Yet, in contrast to his beautiful fur, the tom is oddly wiry which he has makeshift toned into a lean swimmer's frame. He is more lithe than muscular but has dedicated copious amounts of time in attempt to tone the wanting muscle mass his genetics promised.

The tom has a heart shaped face, and large ears with long whiskers (White), and tail. In addition to it's length, Leopardface's tail is thin. By far, he is an acquired taste.

When a cat looks closer into Leoaprdface's features, they see that Leopardface's nose is a dark rosy brown. Traveling their eyes up, one can see the  insides of his ears are a light tan-cream, with short furs. Lastly, the tom's eyes are a deep golden that accompany his matching pelt.

Leopardface's voice is alto and coy, he constantly inflicts an apathetic tone to appear like he cares significantly less than he actually does. The tom's smell is that of honey and poppyseeds.

Not only is Leopardpaw convinced he is the utmost beautiful cat in the world, he also believes he is incapable of doing anything wrong. In some ways, this confidence can come across attractive if he's interested in being manipulative, but typically it's a revolting trait (that he often hides well). Leopaceardf has a tendency to project his own weaknesses onto others through passive marks as opposed to outward aggression. Yet through all of this toxicity, Leopardface is capable of putting on a front well-enough to save him from being a social pariah.

Everything to Leoaprdface is weighed as a calculation. The spotted warrior evaluates cats based on their value to him, what he can get from them, and if there is a power dynamic. When establishing meaning for others' lives, attractiveness comes first, their ability to fight second, and hunting last. Leopardface has no respect for queens, medicine cats, or elders.

Like most sociopaths, Leopardface is incredibly charming when he wants to be. The dreamy tom is capable of treating each individual with undivided attention. He makes use of great eye contact, a coy well-timed smile, and confident posture to warmly invite anything that fancies him. When meeting a cat if Leopardface is interested in them, he will size them up in his head trying to establish their interests and characteristics, and manipulating his own personality to meet his projected estimates. 

Beneath the veil of intentional charm rests his soul either an abysmal, impulsive pit, or the lightning claps of neurotic impulse. Leopardface's inner energy changes like the tides but over age he has mulled into a less zany character, and more one which leads through his calculative actions. He will still find opportune moments like battle or conversation to channel his eccentric streaks.

One of Leopardface's greatest values is independence. He hates others domineering over him and feels stifled by rules, duties, and obligations. Leopardface wants to come, and go as he pleases and often times he does with little respect for boundaries or the warrior code.  

Perhaps his greatest downfall is Leopardface's thirst for lust. Though rarely will Leopardface hurt his best interests, he has taken many losses in pursuit of lustful actions. The opportunity to get close to a she-cat (or tom), will trump his yearn for freedom encouraging him to take gambling risks in search of payoff. Thankfully, he prefers it this way. Leopardface would get bored in a world too safe and secure. 

Sootpelt and Featherfoot were an overall, normal couple of warriors. The two had been apprentices together, and later fell in love as moons passed. When the two cats finally decided to have kits, they were older warriors and well-respected inside the clan. It had taken countless moons for the couple to conceive and finally, within time, Featherfoot was blessed.

When Leopardkit was born he was the sole survivor of six kits. In turn, the devastated Featherfoot treated her son like a prodigy and king, pooling together all of the love meant for six into one. Adored for his beautiful pelt and charming nature, Leopardpaw grew into a spoiled and manipulative apprentice. When senior warriors did not abide by his rules and commands, which at the time were regarded as typical "kit" behavior, Leopardpaw began to innovate ways to climb to the top. As Leopardpaw worked his way with words, his parents sat idly by. He was exactly as starclan had attended him to be.

Leopardpaw was assigned the Lichen Clan deputy Hemlockheart (c a n n a ) as his mentor. Hemlockheart was a ruthless force. For their first training session, he mercilessly threw Leopardpaw into the stormy lake and battled him till the tom nearly drowned. But, he trained Leopardpaw into a strong and resilient warrior. Leopardpaw had a complicated relationship with Hemlockheart, proud to be the deputy's mentor, marveling at his strengths, and envious of his success. Though the two were never personally close, they also didn't experience qualms; It was strictly business.

Unless it directly concerned him, Leopardpaw cared little for politics. Not one for religious hullabaloo, he grew skeptical of Minnowstar's calls. A mysterious tribe cat had appeared at the gathering whom Minnowstar was convinced to be a demon. Redwood Clan harbored the tribe cat. Fearful of the demon's sin, Minnowstar forced Lichen Clan to bar Redwood Clan from the mooncave. Redwood Clan retaliated. The night Redwood Clan attacked Lichen Clan, Leopardpaw had been sneaking out. He missed the fight but was still promoted with the rest of his peers. Leopardpaw earned the name Leopardface.

Since apprentice hood, Leopardface had courted the pretty Lavendarmist (wish ). Simultaneously, Leopardface engaged with the Redwood Clan warrior Leafdapple (moony ).

As time went on, Minnowstar's paranoia continued. She refused to attend the gathering, suspicious of an ominous dream sent to Cinderface. Hemlockheart led the cats to the gathering instead, while Minnowstar hosted a mass confession. There, Leopardface spun a craftily vulnerable and sincere confession to stay on the regimen's good side.

Leopardface was asked to lead a patrol investigating the sandbar to the tribe's island. On the way, they ran into a Thistleclan patrol. Much to Leopardface's frustrations, the patrol is forced to retreat. Leopardface fights against Owlfang (Raven~ ), until Riverblaze (Egotistic ), is nearly fatally wounded by the formidable Thistle Clan warrior, Graygaze (bombora ). Riberblaze later dies of his critical injuries.

Lavendarmist extended an invitation to Leopardface for the rebellion.

At the rebellion, Leopardface sat like a wallflower. He watched as Shadowface (maxx / Catalysta), Lavendarmist, Quickstrike (Annie ), and Nightclaw (rain ), formed a plan to warn Redwood Clan of Minnowstar's ambush. Quickstrike lead a valiant speech, much to the boredom of Leopardface whose mind had already dismissed the rebellion's efforts.

Leopardface continued to meet with Leafdapple and Lavendarmist. After Lavendarmist agreed to lay with Leopardface he grew bored of her. The spotted warrior's goals were fulfilled; the following day was awkward. Lavendarmist tried to establish clarity for their relationship. Not wanting to be tied down, his facade melted, and his demeanor was curt and disinterested. He quickly dismissed her concerns despite her obvious discomfort, hoping to talk about the rebellion instead. When Lavendarmist shut-down the conversation, he lashed out and threatened her, now carrying secrets of the rebellion. Their relationship ended.

Minnowstar carried out her ambush. Leopardface, with no stake with or without the rebellion, joined Minnowstar's ranks. Battling sounded more fun than running through the tunnels. There he fought Leafdapple's sister Windstorm (Annie ) and her lover Goldensmoke (rain ), alongside the warrior Saltwhisker. At the apex of the battle Leopardface stunned Goldensmoke and slashed his jugular, killing him. After, Windstorm swore vengeance against Leopardface. Meanwhile, her sister, Leafdapple, carried Leopardface's kits.

The next Lichen Clan trials, Leopardface confessed that he killed Goldensmoke and was sparred from the punishments. However, he continued to grow more and more paranoid of Minnowstar's reign; She had recently banished the warrior Brackenwhisker (captain ), for sneezing. Cats around him were punished, imprisoned, and even exiled. Because of Minnowstar's instability and the Leopardface's thirst for a free lifestyle, he grew deeply paranoid.

Leopardface was assigned the apprentice Wildpaw (sloth ). Their first training session, Leopardface walked in similar footsteps to his previous mentor Hemlockheart. He battled his inexperienced apprentice fiercely; The practice ended with Wildpaw unconscious and carried back to the apprentice's den. Like his relationship with Hemlockheart as well, Leopardface and Wildpaw had a primarily cordial and mentorship-centered relationship. Leopardface was an engaging and excited mentor at his best, ruthless and absent at his worst. All of the faces of Leopardface however, had tiny flashes of heartlessness. Any will that Leopardface had to train Wildpaw was to reflect on his own skills as a warrior and mentor, not Wildpaw's benefit. Eventually, Wildpaw graduated and earns the name Wildclaw.

After Lichen Clan joined with the rogues, Redwood Clan launched an attack on Lichen Clan camp. Leopardface joined Lightwater (rain ) and Poppy (lightning ) in the fight against Windstorm, Leafdapple, and, unknowing to him, his daughter Blossompaw (Kazuko ). The fight started with Leopardface trapping and scaring away the frazzled and panicking Blossompaw. With a thirst for revenge, Windstorm fought Leopardface until Redwood Clan was forced to retreat.

The rogues now on their side, Lichen Clan launched attacks on Redwood Clan and Thistle Clan. Lily's motives to attack Thistle Clan meant that Lichen Clan troops would support their efforts. Leopardface cared little either way, with no personal investment in politics, he was interested in the opportunity for battle. Leopardface joined his father, Sootpelt (Aria ), infiltrating their camp. Together they battle against the cats Sparkspirit (Silverfire ) and Rainflight (jinxy ). Leopardface dealt a vital throw to Rainflight's jugular. Sparkspirit beat down Sootpelt and Leopardface in revenge, eventually causing them to retreat. Leopardface escorted his father back to safety, hoping to mend their relationship — his efforts did little.

One Green-Leaf day, Leopardface ran into Leafdapple at the creekside. There, she unveiled he was the father of her two kits Blossompaw (Kazuko ) and Trilliumpaw (fallenreaper ). Immediately, he internally panicked, fearful of what this could mean for him and his safety under Minnowstar's delirious regimen. However, he snuffed his anger to appear sincere before Leafdapple (worried she might tell Redwood Clan). He expressed his concerns and the hopelessness that is the current Lichen Clan. Leopardface had no interest in meeting his kits or continuing life with Leafdapple, even if it was a viable option under the safety of Redwood Clan. Though Leafdapple seemed forlorn their exchange was cordial as Leopardface had learned from his mistakes with Lavendarmist and their political implications: He was formal and convincingly saddened for their fates. She embraced him one last time.

For the final battle, Leopardface started fighting on the side of the loyalists. He and Flashfang (lightning ), fought against Quickstrike and Patchstrike (Silverfire ). When Leopardface noticed that the rebellion was a viable option with the help of Redwood Clan, the refugees, and cats from the tunnels, he quickly changed sides. The spotted warrior shifted his thinking for one critical reason, his safety. Whether overthrowing the chaotic and unpredictable leader or being a part of the winning side, he made the decision with the snap of his wrist and struck, turning on Flashfang. Despite a battle of three against one, the goliath warrior killed Patchstrike. In the distance, Minnowstar's screams could be heard as cats gave way in hot pursuit. Leopardface agreed to get Patchstrike's body to safety so that Quickstrike could leave the scene and end the chaos.
