PERSONALITY:



I'm dividing this into thirds, cause I think it will be easier to understand that way...

Icegaze with clan members, gatherings, and so on...when with more than one cat that he doesn't know very well.


Brave “Come on, lets go!”
Icegaze isn't afraid to face anything, as long as Frostwind, or another cat he trusts is there with him, backing him up. Nothing, aside from the possibility of loosing his brother causes any type of fear in him. Well, that's not exactly true. In reality, if he ever admitted it to himself, there are things that cause fear in him. Instead of turning and running away, Icegaze is willing to tun and face what he is afraid of. That action and decision is why he is brave.

Submissive/Shy “Um, okay...”
Icegaze acts much like a rag-doll or a push-over a lot of the time when around other cats, especially if he doesn't know them well. These actions are greatly seen in his public interaction with Frostwind. He tends to blush easily and let others have control of situations. This act is a protection that he and his brother developed during kithood, and carry to this very day.

Hard-working “Is there anything else I can do?”
Icegaze makes, and always has made a point of working as hard, or harder than anyone else does. He doesn't do this to show anyone up, and doesn't notice when it comes across that way. He views responsibility to the clan as a very important thing and fills to the best of his ability.

Flirty “Hey beautiful!”
Icegaze will flirt with anyone. Literally, anyone. Be they a she-cat or a tom, if they so much as glance in his direction he will take that as an invitation. Now, he definitely is not interested in everyone, or even most of the cats he flirts with, especially since the most common is his brother. Rarely will he approach cats without the intentional or unintentional invitation, and openly flirt with them or even compliment them. Every time this has happened, the other cat has been a she-cat.

Loyal “I am a shield”
Icegaze is fiercely loyal to his clan and will tear the fur out of anyone who says otherwise. He would gladly give his life for his clan at a moment's notice. However that doesn't mean he blindly follows what he is told. If he doesn't believe something is right, he will voice his concerns. This has gotten him in trouble with the very cats he wants to protect.

Icegaze has a “hidden” personality that only really shows it's self when he doesn't have to put on a show for an audience. This has to be with someone he trusts, like his brother, Frostwind.

Dominate/Leader “I'll take care of this.”
Icegaze is the dominant one when it comes to his friendships with those who are his true friends. True friends meaning that he's connected with them. He, if left on his own, will eventually pressure friendships with those around him. This is much harder for him when he's with Frostwind. The two of them act the way they do to shield themselves. Icegaze would much prefer to trust, and be trusted, but he doesn't know how.

Fierce “Touch him/her and I will kill you.”
Icegaze has a very strong/vicious/scary side, which only shows it's self when those he cares about are threatened. This side of him he keeps even more private than his ability to lead. This characteristic of his dovetails well with his leader characteristics and unyielding loyalty, rendering him a very valuable asset to his clan.

Strong “Here, let me help.”
Icegaze has an inner strength to him that has allowed he and his brother to survive their kithood and apprenticeship. It still greatly supports them now that they have made the transition to being warriors. This strength shows it's self in his willingness and ability to support others around him, and sacrificing his own comfort for that of those around him.

Secret Soft Side “Hey, you okay?”
When he chooses to, Icegaze cares deeply about those around him, and has a soft spot for certain she-cats and most kits he meets, if he meets them alone. He is a hopeless romantic, but is too afraid to act on that fact. Though any she-cat, young cat or kit who happens to be in trouble, he may not be the first to act, he will definitely not be the last. He also has a desire to be there and be a shield for others, just like he is for his brother.

Awkward “Uh, um, okay...”
Because of his ….interesting kithood, Icegaze is... awkward. He hides this with his incessant flirting and other things, because he is honestly afraid of what others will think of him. If you are lucky enough to see this, it means that Icegaze trusts you enough to make himself very vulnerable to you.

HISTORY:

Ripplepelt and Mosseyes were a happy couple, happily mated, and old. They were senior warriors and hadn't had any kits over their lifetime. Just before they decided to tell the clan leader that they believed that their time to move to the Elder's den they found that Mosseyes was pregnant. They thought that everything was perfect. Well, that was till everything fell apart. Mosseyes was the main focus of the clan's medicine cat's attention once the realization that she was heavy with kits. Her age was one concern, and her beginning mental issues was the other. Mosseye's activity slowly became more and more erratic, and strange. She would disappear for days at a time, returning with no recollection that she had been missing. One time she just didn't return.

Ripplepelt was worried sick and searched for her every day for five moons, but he had no luck finding her. His health started to fail, and just as he was giving up he caught her scent mixed with something sickly. He ran toward the scent and was greatly saddened by what he found. Mosseyes was curled up in a corner of an old musty cave, breathing raggedly, two little kits mewling weakly against her almost cold side. The patrol he was with helped him carry the two weak kittens back to the Riverclan camp, and the medicine cat worked tirelessly to save the two little toms. Unfortunately while they were recovering, Ripplepelt made the journey to Starclan, to join his mate, Mosseyes. The kits were rendered parent-less.

Because of Mosseyes disease, and Ripplepelt's quick passing, the kits were rejected by the lone queen who was in the nursery. At the request of the medicine cat, she nursed the small kits, but that was the extent of her care for them. Icekit and Frostkit grew up relying on only each other. The first time the clan noticed something odd about the two tiny toms was when they would play with the other kits. They were always together, and because their appearance was almost identical, they were easily mixed up. One warrior overheard the two playing a “game” with the other kits, and a couple of the younger apprentices. They challenged the others to figure out who was Icekit and who was Frostkit, and if they could, the two would play with them. Because of their identical appearance, aside from their marks, it was very hard for others to guess who was who. The two became even more isolated because after a while, no one wanted to play with them. They stayed in the nursery for a little bit longer than the other kits, mostly because of their smaller size, and seemingly weaker frames.

Icekit and Frostkit were named Icepaw and Frostpaw on the same day, and Icepaw was given Streamflight, a very kind and honorable tom warrior, as a mentor. Being separated from his brother for the first time in his life really changed him. He threw himself into learning to be a warrior and a hunter. He also learned to do something else during his apprenticeship. He and his brother reinforced their shield between themselves and the rest of the world. They were so afraid of someone abandoning them that they did something rather odd to keep others at a paw's length. They started flirting with both each other and pretty much any other apprentice, male or female. The more that they could flirt, the more that they could be odd, the less that others would try to become close to either of them. This sort of backfired with Icepaw, in one way. He started to privately trust Streamflight.

His apprenticeship went pretty smoothly, the usual pinning ears back at Thunderclanners, spit fights with other apprentices, learning to fight and hunt, nothing really out of the ordinary. He was clumsy at first, but soon the quiet kit became a very good hunter, and his fighting skills improved considerably. Icepaw and Frostpaw snuck out almost nightly to practice. Both improved very quickly, but Icepaw was stronger and faster than his brother. Streamflight noticed this rapid improvement, and questioned the young tom about it. Icepaw stalled and tried to lie before lowering his sky blue eyes and admitted what he did with his brother. Streamflight was impressed, and started pushing Icepaw harder than he had before, teaching the young tom more than just skills that he would need, but how to be the best cat he can, and how to sacrifice for his clan. Streamflight and Icepaw had many conversations in their training sessions, and the warrior learned a lot about how Icepaw and Frostpaw saw things, and how they did or did not relate to others. Streamflight finally understood why Icepaw and Frostpaw always stayed so close to each other and flirted with each other, even though many of the members of the clan had tried to get them to stop.

Icepaw was excited to become a warrior finally. His only regret about the timing was that his brother, Frostpaw, was still an apprentice, and wouldn't be joining him for his vigil. He was given the name Icegaze. Ice, because of the light color of his coat, and gaze because of his piercing blue eyes and unwavering gaze. He completed his warrior's vigil and immediately started his warriors duties the next day, still trying to stick close to Streamflight for support and having a place that he knew where he belonged. Icepaw had always been a pushover, but once he became a warrior that just became more obvious. After another moon Frostpaw became Frostwind, and the two rekindled their close friendship, but things had changed. Icegaze wanted to connect with other cats, other than his brother and his very patient mentor, but he doesn't know how. He works very hard to be the best warrior he can be, and is more than willing to face anything for his clan. He is also very intimidated at the idea of having an apprentice, but would welcome the challenge.

RELATIONS:

RELATIONSHIP STATUSES:



Thunderclan

Windclan

Skyclan

Shadowclan

Riverclan

Frostwind – Brother – “Frostwind.... don't say that.”
We're really good friends and some say more than that. We're really close, and don't really ever let anyone else inside our own little world. I'm trying to bring my brother friends outside of our relationship, but it doesn't always work. I'd do anything for my brother. Even betray my clan. He means everything to me.


ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE:



(From TBT, Shadesoul, medicine cat of Skyclan)
Little Blessings

Shadesoul had run out of her first store of cobwebs, mint, and soft moss so her first task of the day was to carry what she had found back to the camp before she would choose her freshkill from the pile. Before the sun had truly risen, she had padded out of her den to start the tasks she had set for herself the previous evening. That had been some time ago and she was glad to be returning to camp. After she put away what she had collected, she shook herself and sat down to eat the freshkill that one of the apprentices had been so kind to bring her. After finishing her meal, Shadesoul began her morning ritual of cleaning herself. After all, who would want to come to a Medicine Cat who couldn't keep her own coat at least mostly clean? As she was working, Shadesoul kept an eye on the entrance to her den. She knew someone was thinking of visiting her, but she did not know who.
