"I know I wasn't fair, but I tried by best to care about you. I know I could've been a better man, but I always had to have the upper hand. You tell me I'm a wreck, tell me I'm a mess; but how could you expect anything less?" Cardinalpaw 10 Moons · Male · PineClan · Apprentice ∙ Aromantic ∙ Full Image

[li]Cardinal's Neutral Traits
- Independant
- Cardinalpaw is often described as cold hearted and ominous. This is not true; rather, he is a loner more than anything. He does not get along well with others, and prefers to keep to himself. He avoids social situations in most cases, although he will converse freely. Meaning, he isn't scared of social interaction, he just does not find any stimulus to spark something he does not take pleasure in doing unless it is for the benefit of another directly. Correcting someone, for example, will help them to learn from their mistakes in the future if they have any intellect at all.
- This was put in neutral because it is described as confident and bold, rather than arrogant and vain, which he also is in some manners. See, Cardinalpaw has a great faith in himself, and takes pride in his accomplishments. He is not one to mope and wallow in self pity, though he does recognize his errors and works hard to fix them.
[li]Cardinal's Negative Traits
- Snobby/Rude
- When he talks, Cardinalpaw gives off a very strong impression that he believes he is better than you in every way. Honestly, he merely feels more intelligent than everyone else, and out of the "kindness of his heart" wants to help improve intellectual ability amongst his clan members. No, he doesn't realize how stuck up that makes him sound.
- Anything you can do, Cardnialpaw can do better, and if he can't, then he will work relentlessly until he can. This tabby tom does not like anyone getting the best of him, or teasing him, or even indirectly insulting him. Because of this, he has many enemies, most of whom only mock him within his own mind. He feels a certain pressure to be the best, and has always hated his talented sister, Bearpaw, for everything that she was worth. Rumor says his eyes were painted green out of the envy in his heart, and rumor would not be wrong.
- Cardinalpaw has little to no patience, especially with himself. He feels that if he is physically incapable of doing anything, he just isn't as good as he could be. This being said, he took a lot of his sister's attention and his parent's ignorance to heart and mind, and has a bit of an authoritative disorder/physiological issue with who he is. Yes, he takes pride in himself, but he also feels extremely inferior and worthless at times.
[li]Your Own Section
- He sometimes works himself harder than he should, and ends up hurting himself through lack of restraint in his willpower. He will go for days without eating or sleeping, if it means perfecting a battle move or catching a fish.
- Sure, Cardinal is terrified of one thing and one thing only: not being good enough.
- He excels at battle, though he prefers to hunt.
personality
- History: Alright, from the beginning, we have two of PineClan's greatest warriors of all time. Opposumclaw, an honored veteran skilled in battle, and Darkwhisker, her mate, one of the most well known hunters. It had to be inevitable that great things were expected of their kits; they would inherit their parents' talents, and looks, and be the perfect cats, right? Not so much. You can imagine the disappointment when out popped Goosekit, a pudgy, small little she-kit who wasn't exactly up to par with expectations. Next you had the only tom-kit, Cardinalkit. He was complex looking; an enigma in himself, always struggling to do things before he should have been able to them, and after his first few moons, almost silent. But the third kit... Now, that was the dream warrior everyone had been waiting for. Bearkit the fabulous. Bearkit the princess. Bearkit the perfect. She was beautiful, and talented too. Though she never tried, she knew she liked being on top, and her siblings were soon cast into her shadow. For Goosekit, this was an opportunity to say, "I'm just not good enough." For Cardinalkit, it was a chance to discover, "I could be so much more."
- Family/Relatives
- Opposumclaw
- Cardinalpaw, Bearpaw, and Goosepaw's mother. Cardnial has an ok relationship with her; Opposumclaw recognizes him, and loves him like a mother should, but has far more love for his sister Bearpaw. This lights an envious passion in Cardinal's ever jealous heart, and he resents his mother, but also strives to make himself capable in her eyes. Opposumclaw is a large black and white molly with green eyes, mated to Darkwhisker, and is a superior fighter. -- Moons
- Father of Cardinalpaw, Bearpaw, and Goosepaw. Mated to Opposumclaw, -- Moons
- Sister to Cardnialpaw and Goosepaw, as well as star child of Opposumclaw and Darkwhisker. Cardinal hates her with all his worth, and refuses to acknowledge himself as her equal, or littermate. She's arrogant, snobby, and perfect, which makes the young tabby tom positively furious. She's a large black molly with yellow-green eyes. 11 Moons
- Sister to Cardinalpaw and Bearpaw, as well as lesser child of Opposumclaw and Darkwhisker. These two don't necessarily get along, but they have a firm mutual respect for eachother, and each admires the other for what talent they have. She's idiotic, simple, and kind; a medium-sized diluted calico with yellow-orange eyes. 11 Moons
