appearance informationOakheart has long, thick fur and a bushy tail. It doesn't get in the way very much, but due to its softness, it poofs up easily in heat and humidity and weighs him down in water. His body is sturdy and solid, with thick, long limbs and muscular shoulders. His face is wider than most cats, and he has large eyes and a broad nose. His voice is even-tempered, and his scent is very rich and woodsy (although sometimes he has traces of a honey-like scent on his fur due to Hazelgrace.)
height: 8.5 in / 21.6 oz
weight: 112 oz / 7 lbs
historyprior to birth - Mapleblaze, a former rogue and the deputy of CloudClan at the time, and Flowergrace, a Clan-born cat, fell in love after Flowergrace had broken up with Swallowstar, the leader of CloudClan. Flowergrace put her broken heart behind her and moved on, and soon the two were expecting kits. On September 16th, nearing the end of greenleaf, Flowergrace gave birth to Mapleblaze's kits: Oakkit, Foxkit, and Willowkit.
kit: Oakkit was curious, plucky, excitable, and bold as a kitten. He ached to explore the CloudClan camp and make a name for himself early on in his life. He developed a close relationship with his parents, littermates, and cousins. Oakkit viewed Leopardstrike, his aunt, as well as his parents and uncle, with extreme respect. He became close friends with the apprentice Scorchpaw before she was tragically killed on the Thunderpath.
apprentice ceremony: Finally, the moment had come! Oakkit felt excitement and an unusual amount of fear itch in his pawpads as he stood atop the Leaking Stones with his siblings and cousins. Sprucepaw padded across the smooth rocks with a satisfied smile on his face as his Clanmates chanted his name; he was the last of Leopardstrike and Ashwhisker's kits to be apprenticed, and Oakkit's cousins beamed at him encouragingly as Swallowstar turned his yellow gaze upon him. Closing his eyes briefly, Oakkit stepped forward, his heart hammering in his chest. Who would his mentor be? Would he be a good apprentice?
"Oakkit," rumbled CloudClan's leader, "you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Oakpaw." Flicking his tail and raising his chin slightly, Oakpaw inhaled deeply as his new name echoed within him. "Your mentor will be Cedarbranch. I hope Cedarbranch will pass down all she knows on to you."
From the gathering of cats, a slender, dusky-pelted she-cat with amber eyes and long, flowing fur padded up to the Leaking Stones, her muscles rippling in the weak leaffall sun. Oakpaw recognized her as one of CloudClan's newest warriors. When she stopped in front of Oakpaw, he lifted his head and gazed into her eyes as Swallowstar spoke to her, commending her for her warmth and enthusiasm. I hope you can teach me everything I need to help our Clan! He smiled softly at her, and when Swallowstar had finished talking, Oakpaw stretched up so that his nose touched hers. Side by side, mentor and apprentice padded to the other side of the Leaking Stones where the new apprentices stood proudly.
"Oakpaw, Oakpaw!" chanted CloudClan, and Oakpaw puffed out his chest, reveling in the sound of his name echoing around camp. I know I'll be a great warrior someday - this is just the start!
apprentice: Oakpaw trained hard as an apprentice under Cedarbranch's instruction, and he learned much about becoming an asset to his Clan. When Oakpaw and his siblings had reached eight moons of age, their mother, Flowergrace, was murdered by Nettlepaw. In response to Flowergrace's death, Willowpaw ran away from CloudClan, leaving Mapleblaze to care for Foxpaw and Oakpaw; however, Mapleblaze began to crumble from the emotional impact of so many losses all at once, and Oakpaw and his brother were scarred by this as well. Nearing the end of Oakpaw's apprenticeship, Swallowstar was killed by a dog infected with the White Death, and his deputy and Oakpaw's aunt, Leopardstrike, ascended to leadership under the name of Leopardstar. At Oakpaw's first (and last) Gathering as an apprentice, Willowpaw returned to the Clans bearing a terrible curse - the Wicked was upon the Clans! Oakpaw earned his warrior name, Oakheart, at the Gathering, but since the night he earned it was shrouded in darkness and fear, it was not recognized among the Clans until a day or two later.
warrior ceremony: Oakpaw's pawpads pressed down firmly onto the surface of the Leaking Stones, his tail tip flicking almost unnoticeably as Willowbreeze crossed in front of him. His sister caught his eye and winked at him, and Oakpaw smiled at her in return. I'm so proud of you, Willowbreeze... I'm so proud of us. Taking a step forward, Oakpaw gazed into the amber stare of Leopardstar, taking a deep breath. I'm ready to become a warrior. I'm ready to serve my Clan.
Leopardstar's words were sharp, but the look in her eyes was soft as she regarded him. "Oakpaw, you have come of age and are ready to become a warrior. Are you willing to fight and stand up for what is right if it means the Clan will be safe? Do you swear to serve this Clan and follow the Code and uphold its honor?"
"I do." Oakpaw's answer came firmly, solemnly, with a strength he hadn't known he possessed. He was ready to defend CloudClan to his full potential - no matter what challenges he would have to face.
CloudClan's leader dipped her head, a faint smile flitting across her face. "Then, Oakpaw, I hereby name you Oakheart for your pure heart and strong soul. Serve your Clan well, and tread through the future years with your chin held high as you are now a warrior of CloudClan."
"Oakheart! Oakheart!" The cheers of CloudClan echoed around camp and a gentle breeze filtered through the leaves of the towering trees. Oakheart's paws trembled with excitement and pride as he accepted his new role. There may be forces we'll have to overcome, but I'm ready to protect the Clan at all costs and secure a better future!...
warrior: Oakheart's time as a warrior began pleasantly after his first Gathering. He bonded even closer with his sister Willowbreeze and brother Foxstrike, making new friends and deepening relationships with his family. He began to develop romantic feelings for Hazelpaw, his cousin and kithood friend, and the day after her warrior ceremony, where she was given the name Hazelgrace, the two became mates . Currently, Oakheart is the mentor to Sandpaw, and he and Hazelgrace are planning on having kits in the future.
personalityobservant, brave, persistent | serious, reserved, flirtations | stubborn, picky, awkward
observant: Oakheart is the first to know if something is wrong, no matter how close he is to the cat in question. He is very receptive and empathetic to the feelings of others and tries his best to help others feel better.
brave: Inheriting this trait from his father Mapleblaze, Oakheart is a true warrior at heart. He fights with courage and honor, putting the needs of others before him and using his skills to the best of his ability to benefit CloudClan.
persistent: While this can be seen as a negative trait, Oakheart's persistence and determination benefits him because he never gives up or backs down to any challenge. If he is put to a task he will complete it to the best of his ability, no matter how much it takes out of him.
serious: Oakheart believes that while being a warrior can be a fun and exciting experience, it is also important to take the duties and responsibilities of serving the Clan seriously. Sometimes this can affect his ability to interact with others, as he tends to value the Clan as a whole over his individual relationships with his Clanmates in times of tension and quick thinking.
reserved: Oakheart is very easily affected by the emotions of others, and he likes to listen to problems and try to solve them, but that means he spends less time worrying about himself and his own problems; he tends to keep things bottled up inside and explode when he can't handle the pressure. He feels uncomfortable revealing too much information about himself because he feels like doing so would distract him from helping others to the best of his ability.
flirtatious: When Oakheart is in a calm and relaxed mood, he knows exactly how to be romantic, and he exhibits these skills with his mate Hazelgrace. However, he needs to know a cat as a friend to flirt with them first; if this does not happen he becomes very awkward and embarrassing.
stubborn: Once Oakheart comes up with an idea, it's hard to persuade him to take another path. He can sometimes be too headstrong, causing him to make many mistakes which he can learn from.
picky: Oakheart's pickyness is a trait most kits lose as they become warriors. He is a very detail-oriented cat and has trouble seeing the big picture; he only wants the best prey to share with his friends or the softest moss for his bedding, for example.
likes: Hazelgrace, kits, the forest, Gatherings, sunlight, leaf-fall, squirrels
dislikes: excessive heat, losing family members, not being listened to / accounted for
fears: being seen as weak / ignored / forgotten, tight and small spaces, death of family members
goals: become the strongest warrior possible (maybe a deputy or leader?), bear scars as a result of a battle, make his Clan proud, have a mate and kits

example: Oakkit's dream gently faded away and he was shaken lightly from his slumber. He could hear the sounds of crickets chirping and the gentle greenleaf breeze hissing through the moss hanging from the ceiling in the nursery. Flowergrace's milk-warm belly curled around him, rising and falling softly and gently, and he could feel the twitch of Willowkit's tail thumping lightly against his leg as she slept. Foxkit's fluffy fur smothered Oakkit's face as he turned his head lightly, and as he felt the breath disappear from his lungs, he lightly shoved his brother out of the way by prodding him with a paw. This was his first night in CloudClan and the first day of his existence, and already, without even opening his eyes, he was intrigued and curious and excited about the sounds and smells of his family and the nursery. Oakkit sighed dreamily as the breeze slithered through the moss again, cooling his fur despite the heat of his siblings and mother surrounding him. His heart pattered in his chest as he realized he was ready to open his eyes.
Squinting, he closed his eyes as much as he possibly could, relishing in the darkness and the innocence one more time, and then he stretched them open. Suddenly the darkness turned into blurry patches of blues and browns, and as he watched in wide-eyed wonder the patches resolved themselves into shapes and the shapes into figures and, eventually, the figures into cats. He saw the bulk of Junefrost curled over three smaller shapes, their pelts rising and falling almost unnoticeably. He saw the strands of moss hanging from the soggy wooden ceiling, swaying gently in the breeze. And, creeping out from under Willowkit and turning around, he regarded his family with excitement and wonder. Flowergrace, his mother, was enormous compared to what he had expected - he was hardly the size of her paw, but she was certainly beautiful, and her russet fur was slightly tinged silver by the light of the stars. Foxkit, who had now collapsed to where Oakkit had been sleeping, had a short and stumpy tail, and Willowkit's fur was paler than Oakkit had expected. All three of them looked perfect, and Oakkit felt excitement bubbling in his throat as he watched them sleep. He looked down quickly and was surprised to see his own paws directly below him - both of them were white at the tips, but there was a large darker stripe on his right forepaw he didn't see on any of his siblings. He craned his neck and stretched to the best of his ability to see that his fur was a dark ginger color, slightly brindled with deeper stripes. Grinning, Oakkit trotted back over to his siblings and nudged them gently to recreate space for him to sleep. His dreams that night were filled with stars and ginger fur and hissing moss and rising and falling and rising....
