| Appearance & Battle Statistics |


Surprisingly alike his mother when it comes to fur texture. The only difference is the extra softness he's inherited from his father, which is slightly fluffy and soft as a kitten's pelt. For coat colours, his base colour is a soft creamish with patches of brownish fur on top, somewhat alike his mother but with softened tones of his father's fur. His patches are covered with tabby streaks, slightly different from his mother in the matter that his coat consists of mainly light streaks, and his pelt isn't to be considered as a mackrel-tabbyish coat.

Generally he looks very much like his mother, and only inherited few of Finwhisker's attributes; a slight appearance of brown fur, some fur texture attributes and right eye-colour.

He uses his light body for increased speed. His attacks aren't very strong, but he's able to deliver several blows at a time rather than a few strong hits. His speed is his greatest asset, combined with a good sense of balance. His endurance is slightly below average, and he doesn't play very well with tactics. Usually it's just blows left and right, without any special purpose behind them. Overall his fighting stats are quite average.

:new: He recently acquired new scars. a few on his shoulder after his fight with Cinderpaw, and a few on his cheek after an encounter with Bearscar of the Dark Forest.

| History and Relationships |


Kithood

He was born into the magnificent clan named ShadowClan, son of Flarestalker and Finwhisker. Small and sickly, he barely made it through his first moon, and even when he began growing properly he looked small compared to his siblings. This would be one of the characteristic he'd be known for. A small, shy tom. He spent the first moon in the den, under constant watch from the clan's medicine cat whom feared the kit could die at any point. Miraculously the kit pulled through. He does not know of his biological father, and believes as the rest of the clan, that Raggestorm's his father. Being half-clan never entered his mind, as he sees his mother as a loyal she-cat who'd never consider doing such a thing.

Soon after his birth Nettlekit developed a friendship with a she-kit named Ghostkit, whom soon became the best friend within his clan. He played lots with her, and his friendship with her would evolve even further during his apprentice days. He also encountered a friendly she-cat from ThunderClan, whose name was Silverfire. Genuinly Nettlekit encountered much trouble and found himself outside camp at many hours. He even met a she-kit from WindClan once (Petalkit), was almost eaten by a fox and fell in the river leading to a close-to-death experience. Somehow he survived to apprenticehood though.

Apprenticeship

As an apprentice he was given Phantomscream as his mentor, a sweet she-cat whom was also the mother of his best friend, Ghostpaw. Throughout their days of being apprentices, Ghostpaw and Nettlepaw explored and studied every bit of ShadowClan territory, but found themselves unable to hinder the fact that Cinderpaw, Ghostpaw's brother, became jealous and angry at Nettlepaw for "stealing" his best friend. This problem continued to last throughout their days as apprentices, usually leading to bitterness between the two toms. As Nettlepaw was very adventurous, he also came across several new cats from WindClan, some of which being Lemonpaw, Pebblepaw and Applepaw (whom happens to share Nettlepaw's sister's name!). Together with Pebblepaw he explored high and low, going places he had not yet seen with Ghostpaw. Pebblepaw quickly grew to become one of his best friends outside of the clans, and he appreciated her companionship.

For a while, Nettlepaw's mind turned towards the darker though. He began getting dark and mysterious, avoiding other cats and snapping if they came too close. This was mostly due to the invasion of Bearscar, whom would not leave his dreams be. He later agreed to train under the fearsome warrior, towards becoming a candidate for a future high position.

Being an apprentice in the Dark Forest has a heavy toll. The young tom is starting to feel ill, and things isn't going good with the fact that Cinderpaw's laid hatred on him, making it difficult to be around Ghostpaw. After an arguement he's split from Ghostpaw, the two barely talking together, ever. He begins to lose his sanity little by little, the nights in the Dark Forest corrupting his youthful and vulnerable mind. Only when Ghostpaw returns as his friend does he find himself able to grasp onto life in ShadowClan again, a little firmer than before. A fight with Cinderpaw ends in making the two acquaintances, leaving Nettlepaw with one less enemy. Now that he's experienced losing his best friend he's determined to not let it happen again, and has a sickly need to protect her. Unknowingly he's developing a love for her that is on the borderline of being unhealthy. 

Warriorhood!

Entering warriorhood came as a huge change in Nettleblood's life. Not long after gaining his warrior name he found himself confessing his feelings to Ghostsong, whom had also recently gained her name. However, the she-cat decided to not return his feelings in mateship, thus leaving Nettleblood rather devastated. It would be a long time until he would speak with her again. Feeling like she'd still be the love of his life, he panicked upon being given threats from Bearscar, saying he'd harm her as well. Unknown to Ghostsong the tom made a pact with the Dark Forest cat to do his every bidding and behave accordingly to spare Ghostsong of being hurt. To which extent this pact will reach is unknown as of yet. 

Not too long after the pact with Bearscar, Nettleblood found himself first encountering a tom from SkyClan called Galepaw (Galefrost now) whom bore news unknown to Nettleblood. This is one of the biggest reasons as to his nervousness and anxiety regarding the Dark Forest. The reason why is still unknown to the clans, and Nettleblood prefers to keep it that way, scared of the consequences it might have should word of it come out. He also encountered the Queen of the Dark Forest, Icefang, whom managed to twist the tom's mind to places he did not know it could go. After this he has found himself sympathizing with her and the Dark Forest cats, leaving him confused about which of their ancestors are the "good" ones.

The moving of clans came with a surprising encounter, in Nettleblood meeting up with Turtlesplash of WindClan for the first time. Admiration of the she-cat's bravery and skill soon set Nettleblood on a dangerous path of falling head over heels for another she-cat. Upon learning that there is indeed other she-cats out there, the tom has found himself more willing to let go of Ghostsong, and has as of late been able to focus a bit more than earlier. Now his biggest fear is that Turtlesplash will learn about his past.

Upon the night before the clans split apart, Nettleblood found himself in a heated discussion with Ghostsong, in a tree of all things. The two continued to bicker for a long time, before they eventually softened up slightly. Their evening was made by the explosions of 4th of July, the twolegs celebrating their new homes alongside them. The two cats soon found themselves in for a rather heated night, one which would surely change both cats' lives forever.

A few moons later a litter of kits were birthed, and Nettleblood and Ghostsong silently agreed that they wouldn't be naming the father of them thanks to Nettleblood's involvement in the Dark Forest. 

Moons passed by in silence, and Nettleblood was content with life. That is, until Galefrost force-invited him to come fight the SkyClanners Dark Forest mentors. After a bit of hesitation he agreed, however it did not end well. Iceslash, a cat from his own clan, defended the Dark Forest cats and fell victim at his paws. Upon returning home he found the lifeless body of his clanmate, brought him home and told the clan the lie of Galefrost being the murderer. Loonstar alongside his deputy and Nettleblood traveled to SkyClan to confront Lunarstar, which ended in a fit from the SkyClanners. Returning home they brought Lunarstar and his deputy, letting them view the body. The following days were tinged with doubt and suspicion, and Nettleblood decided to tell his children who he really was.

Unknowing he'd set off his son, Pricklepaw, whom fiercly hated him. Whilst hunting the following day, the tom fell victim to his son.

Dark Forest

Having murdered on 2 occasions (neither in cold blood, but with full intention to kill in the fights he was part in) and lied multiple times as well as his heavy involvement in the Dark Forest led to the tom being left in the Dark Forest, more or less a choice from himself. He believed sincerely that StarClan abandoned him in times he needed them most, and now seeks revenge on the filthy starry cats whom dared say they watched over their paws.

| Roleplay Sample |


The pawprints in the sand were clear. Visible to every eye to see, too obvious for any experienced warrior to leave behind. These were small, neatly formed in the sand and with a touch to them that suggested the cat who had left them behind had left with great urgency. Further ahead, a small white and brown-patched tom sat covering underneath the protective shield of the leaves, his eyes staring at a small, shiny thing placed at his paws. Nettlekit's mind reeled, knowing how he wasn't supposed to leave camp yet. Although the glint of gold in the bushes had been too much of a temptation, and in the end he'd dashed over and grabbed the chain of the necklace, before dragging the whole thing outside. Nobody had noticed. Not even his mother, who had kept an extra close eye on him since this was one of his first days out.

When he'd arrived at his hideout, his tiny heart was beating at a frequency above average, and he panted heavily. His focus was quickly centered to the small, oddly shaped object though. It was coated in gold and dangled from it's chain. In the centre of what appeared to be a broken, heart-shaped pendant was a red diamond, which gleamed in the light. The kit was entranced by the beauty of this object, and he could barely take his eyes off it. The sound of thundering paws made him force his gaze away from the object though, and he recognized the scent of his mother. Quickly he shoved the twoleg object into a crack in the tree he was sitting by, hiding it from the view of other cats. Then he crouched where he was, prepraring for a good round of scolding.

((Length varies depending on what I have to work with.))
