Complete Description:As an apprentice Icepelt had been scrawny, klutzy, and long-legged, not being able to really control every step that he took. He was very slowly developing into the strong and muscular body he currently has now. Hard work and concentrated training aided in the development of his body, he adjusted and learned the weaknesses and strengths of his built. No one ever really thought he would end up being as majestic and graceful as his father Lionheart. At times it seemed so unnatural that the two were even related because of Icepelt’s consistent tumbling and mistakes. He was looked down upon as a weak apprentice but like any other apprentice each was given the same basic training and benefits of any other Riverclan cat. However his father never gave up on his son, only time would tell. In result of many moons of training Icepelt began to take form, his bones thickened, his shoulders broadened and his fighting skills enhanced. He was now becoming very much like his father. Icepelt grew up with a never-ceasing motivation and confidence. Every parent thinks their child is special but Lionheart’s admirable determination and Silvercrests fierce love for Icepelt came well in hand for his hard work.
Icepelt is a much taller tom than others but isn’t overly broad and large. However his being a Riverclan warrior, Icepelt's legs gives him the speed and strength needed to overtake any opponent. Reaching an age of maturity Icepelt was soon recognized as a powerful and well-respected individual. He possesses the speed, cunning maneuvers, sharp eyes and a powerful physique of an ideal Riverclan warrior. But at times his height and size do interfere when trying to overrun a more agile cat. Considering his impressive Riverclan lineage, it is in his blood that swimming comes naturally. The consitant swimming benefitted his strength in his shoulders and legs. Icepelt is fine-boned, long and graceful tom. Icepelt has a long legged and lean body with a short, plush, blue-grey coat. The undercoat is soft, downy, and equal in length. The hairs of his very pelt are even blue with silver tips. Easily defined as being inherited from his mother Silvercrest. His tail is long and it comes in good proportion to the rest of his body. His head is a medium wedge shaped one with large, upright ears. Icepelt's eyes, excluding his glossy coat, are yet another stunning feature. They are round and vividly pale green. His nose and paw's are a dark blue gray shade and his whiskers fade off to a white on the outer ends. Icepelt stands out as a prime. rather attractive, Riverclan warrior.

Complete Personality:Icepelt has always been known for his big heart and fierce loyalty towards his clan and family. Similarly to his father and mothers well admired reputations. At times he can be quiet but it is labeled as quiet confidence. When he speaks his mind he stands strong and proves his point informatively. Icepelt has proven himself a worthy warrior of Riverclan through battle and heartache.
In any stage of his life Icepelt has been through, whether that be an apprentice, or a kit. Every challenge he took he took with great pride and passionate determination. He never quits and will never surrender. He dislikes the feeling of failure and giving up, it’s a sign of weakness to him and feels low. He always presents himself determined and confident, he will rarely show his distress. It takes a lot to truly understand and know what is going on in the toms head, that is if you’re his sister or close friend. If your that you can read him as if he was an open book. He doesn’t wear his feelings, well he tries. Icepelt works hard to make sure he doesn’t show anyone he is having a bad day or if he is eternally suffering. Icepelt is one to take initiative. He will get down and dirty to figure out the solution to the problem. Family is such an important element in his life that if it is ever so lightly disrupted Icepelt has a hard time hiding it. Romance is also another easy weakness of his. However Icepelt has never found true love, he has had his odd crush or minor romance but nothing that resembles the beauty of true love. Icepelt is a very attractive tom but was never coincided about it. When he was younger he wasn’t a ladies man with looks. The young female apprentices took to the already strong and impressive males. To this day he still doesn’t think he is all that, but to be honest he doesn’t really care. He gets all shy around she-cats he is fond of, if he was given the chance to fall in love he could be the ultimate romantic.
In battle this agile cat use's different techniques which he has passed down to his apprentice's. Because of his good nature and honest approach you wouldn’t expect him to be all that trouble and aggressive in battle. But once that competitive instinct sparks inside of him, Icepelt will refuse to go down. He is deeply respectful of the warrior code and has not taken a life in cold blood. At times Icepelt will challenge the warrior code to what he believes is right but knows the code was made for a reason and will with all his heart follow it. But at times the rules seem not justified in some situations. He does have his own opinions and isn't afraid to state what they are. Every clan is special and unique in there own way, by the will of Starclan every clan has a place. Icepelt respects that. Icepelt has a big heart and if trying to define the term loyalty Icepelt is a good example. He will never let you down and he will always be there for a shoulder to lean on. He is a good listener which makes him a good source of advice and help. Icepelt is a well respected and admired just like his parents in Riverclan.
THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN THISParents: Lionheart & Silvercrest
Siblings: Rainfall
Other Kin: none
Complete History:.:Kithood:.
From the day I opened my eyes I saw her, the most beautiful cat in the world. My mother, Silvercrest. Her green eyes, silver coat and sweet nature. Everything about her was heart-warming, I didn’t ever once doubt her judgment, she was always there for me and I felt completely safe buried within her soft warm fur. I had two other siblings which lived with my mother and father. My father had been the deputy of Riverclan, Lionheart was his name. We had everything we needed. Shelter, food, security and a place to call home. In the litter were Rainkit, Sparrowkit and myself. Sadly through one of the coldest winters I have ever experienced my brother Sparrowkit didn’t wake up the next morning. He now walks in the skies of Starclan, much to young his life had been taken from him. Rainkit and I were spared. After that heartbreaking experience Rainkit and I bonded quickly, we were inseparable. I vowed that I wouldn’t let a single thing harm her.
As kits we watched Riverclan’s apprentices train and grow into warriors. Our eyes watched them intrigued by every movement, every step until they stood up for their ceremony. Just like any kit we so desperately wanted to become apprentices ourselves, the wait was unbearable and being impatient didn’t help. We had strong intentions, night after night going over everything we wanted to accomplish in our futures. We vowed to work our hardest. We wanted to warriors of Riverclan.
xXxApprenticshipxXx
Once we became 6 moons old Rainpaw and Icepaw was what we were newly called. We had finally left the nursery, it now looking so small and innocent. We then moved to the apprentices den, our lives were just starting. I had become the apprentice of a well respected senior warrior Jaugaclaw, one of my father closest friends. I will never forget my wise mentor for he had extremely peculiar markings that I have never encountered before, like the ancient leopards from Starclan. Which is what Oldears told me.
Jaugarclaw was old and wise, every word that poured out of his mouth I become so intrigued in the life of a warrior. Everyday was something new and I couldn’t wait to get out and train. He didn’t seem to mind my klutzyness all that much but it did make getting techniques down pat much more difficult. He taught me the code, how to hunt and fight, the lands of Riverclan and most importantly Starclan. He told me to follow my heart and instincts. Starclan was a very special aspect to him and it soon became very special to me. He was more of a mentor to me, he became a close friend and another fatherly figure in my life.
At 8 moons Rainpaw and I were given the chance to attend our first gathering, it was an experience of a lifetime for any young apprentice. You can learn so much from the expressions, the actions, the words. I looked up at our leader, hoping one day I could have the honor of sitting and speaking in front of the other clans.
Over time my training was drawing to an end, I had gotten bigger, stronger and much more knowledgable about the world around me. There was only one more day before I would receive my warrior name and become a true blooded Riverclan warrior. But the day before the ceremony had a life altering day effect, Riverclan was at war. Thunderclan at the time was being lead by an ambitious and horrifying leader who just couldn’t control his greed for power. He wanted more than he could control and intended to cause much heartache until his plans were fulfilled. It was a day I will never forget no matter how hard I try. To this day the effects of that single battle still haunt me. I proved myself a warrior fighting to my fullest but I lost something. A mentor, a friend, a father. Lionheart a loyal deputy and loving father had been slain. His last words still echo in my head “with great power comes great responsibility, never give up hope”
Jaugarclaw had to passed away on that gruesome day. He was old and coupldnt compete with the young blood that took him down. He was still alive when I found him and I managed to bring him back to camp leaving a trail of blood as we did. Jaugarclaw didn’t make it, he had lost to much blood. The blood of Thunderclan and Riverclan warriors trickled down the streams that day. It ran red for a day and was later cleansed by the tears of mourning loved ones. They say that even in the soil it still bares a tone of red, just to keep in mind the horrible memories.
~*~Warrior Status~*~
The night of the battle there was a memorial service for all of those who had fallen. My father, my mentor and several others were buried. Rainpaw and I became warriors the next day but it wasn’t very joyous like I had always thought it would be. I was know acknowledged as Icepelt and my sister Rainfall, we sat there in complete silence not only our ceremony but for the ones we had lost. A few weeks later our mother passed away, natural causes our medicine cat proclaimed yet I am convinced it was from a broken heart.
To this day Rainfall and I are the last of our family tree, our bond is strong and our love never-ceasingl. That day my father had been slain, the day my mentor had died and the week when my mother’s heart broke in two. I vowed to look over all who I loved and that I would not let anything ever happen to them. I would continue my hard work and stay focused on the path I was meant to take.
