(things I feel horrible for: making more characters when I already have most of them open
thing I won't feel horrible for: making the Fire- cat a bad egg and making the Thistle- and Tiger- cats Good)

♂ - - { Tigertail } -- { Warrior } - -

Tigertail is obviously a tom who has been in battle often. He is a well-built, muscular dark brown tabby with medium-long fur short enough to not be a hassle but long enough to make him look even bigger than he already is. One of his eyes has a cataract from a scar given to him in one of his first battles. His paws, chin and neck (which gives him a "beard") and tail-tip used to be a bright white, but due to blood and mud they are now an ugly tan color. His working eye is dark green. One of his ears is almost missing, and he is covered in scars of all shapes and sizes.
Despite his scary looks, though, Tigertail loves to play with kits and apprentices, becoming almost a second father to a few of them. The only reason why he participates in battle so much is so he can protect the vulnerable members of his Clan, such as kits and elders. However, when he wants to be intimidating he will be- it's not like he's cute and cuddly. Tigertail has never taken a mate or had kits of his own, much to other cats' surprise, because he is gay.

♂ - - { Thistlepaw } -- { Apprentice } - -

Thistlepaw is a dark brown tom with darker, triangular, mottled stripes that look like the branches of a thistle bush. His eyes are a glistening amber- the amber you see in the sap of a tree. A single scar lies across his back. His tail is long and fluffy, and frequently held high. He has the look of an older warrior about him, despite the fact that he is only eleven moons old. He is rather robust and has big, capable paws.
Most cats are given the Thistle prefix because it is thought that they are strong warriors that will use their thistle-like claws to fight at the slightest hesitation. At birth, Thistlepaw was given the name because he looked like a future warrior with his long claws and muscular shape. But Thistlepaw, while strong and good in fights, chooses to be more analytical and calm than cats who usually have his name. Instead of running out and leaping, Thistlepaw tries to use both his strength, the land, and pragmatism to gain an edge in battle. However, this more logical perspective also gives Thistlepaw a superiority complex. He thinks he's smarter and wiser than all of the other apprentices combined. This surrounded-by-idiots vibe makes other apprentices usually want to back off around him. The thing is, though, Thistlepaw feels rather lonely deep down- his father went missing in action long before he was born, his mother ran off to be a rogue with some other male cat just before he was apprenticed, and his sister, Firepaw, never talks to him. And since he has that superiority complex, not many other apprentices really talk with him. Thistlepaw's greatest wishes are to either see his mother or father again, have his sister calm down, or perhaps find a fellow apprentice that he considers to be smart- but perhaps he needs to learn to get rid of his excess ego first.

♀ - - { Firepaw } -- { Apprentice } - -

Firepaw is a muscular bright orange she-cat with faint mackerel stripes. In a crowd, her bright fur easily sticks out, which is why she was given the Fire- prefix. Her eyes are a yellowish like green. Her claws are short, but very precise and sharp. One of her ears has a small nick in it from being attacked by rogues as a kit and she has a scar across her lip from her first battle.

It is said that the Fire- prefix denotes good and fair cats with bright flame-like pelts that honor their Clan no matter what, as said in some ancient legends spoken by some cats. Firepaw was named so because of her bright pelt and for food fortune- her father had gone missing a moon or two before her birth, and the name was given so her father may return. Firepaw, however, was always a troublemaker, her antics ranging from wandering from camp to bothering her brother. Her acts became more and more rebellious as she began to miss her father and later her mother (who abandoned the Clan), as she is to this day very angry the Clan hasn't made further effort to help her find her mother and father. Firepaw is also very stubborn. She doesn't listen to others, especially her brother Thistlepaw. She often escapes camp in hopeless effort to find her parents- or in a few cases to leave the Clan as well. Firepaw has a resentment towards her brother and her mother, and she hates having responsibilities that she doesn't choose. Firepaw also boasts about her name, given that there are a few heroic cats in legends with the Fire- prefix.

♂ - - { Darkleaf } -- { Exiled Warrior } - -

Darkleaf was originally the son of a Clan cat and a purebred Maine Coon kittypet, which means that he is HUGE. Towering over even the tallest warriors, many cats are afraid to even approach him. This isn't helped by his huge bottom jaw and underbite, his long black fur, and glistening dark green eyes. Darkleaf's long fur bunches up at his claws. His claws are short and rounded- he files them down regularly. He doesn't have very many scars, except for one on his back left leg.
Darkleaf was, as mentioned, the son of a kittypet and a Clan cat, and he was often shamed and teased for it- as well as keeping the guilt of it all his life. He was also not easily trusted- as his mother was a traitor. But Darkleaf really is a gentle giant. He very rarely talks. He often will pick flowers and present them to other cats. But he has constantly been prejudiced solely for his lineage- and his size. Because he is part Maine Coon and very big, other cats are constantly nervous or even scared of him. Not long ago, a warrior was found dead just out of camp. Darkleaf was blamed for the fact that he was big and strong- although he would never kill if only to protect others. He was wrongly exiled from the Clan, and has since spent his days in constant anxiety and fear of being seen. He files away his claws in hope of making himself seem less ferocious.

♀ - - {Smallspots} -- { Warrior } - -

Smallspots is - well, as you'd expect, little, with short legs and a tail only half the size of her Clanmates'. Her eyes are a pale green. Most of her coat is orange, with barely noticeable spots, but her underbelly, legs, and muzzle are a bright white. Her claws are short, sharp, and milky-white. Her pale whiskers curl away at the edges. Her nose and paw pads are a light, soft pink. The only scars she has are a scratch on her left flank and a nick in one ear.
Smallspots at first glance is defensive and hostile, hissing at whatever comes across, her tail usually erect and her ears back, and is often seen as threatening. But in fact she is very timid and will run off as soon as her presumed attacker looks away, only hissing and growling in fear. Not long after she was born in AetherClan, she, her mother, and her siblings were taken by a Twoleg to a cramped house full of too many cats to count. She made friends with a few of them, but the conditions were so bad that two of her siblings died from it. They eventually made their escape back into AetherClan, but Smallspots has been shaken up by it ever since, having a deep fear and hatred of Twolegs. She, however, isn't defenseless, and will attack if she feels she has to for her safety. (She despises cats who act meek and defenseless, actually.)
