☮ Overall
Physically, Mothpaw and Otterpaw couldn't be more unalike. While the brown torbie is a slender, petite little thing; her brother is a hulking giant of a furball pasted on top of some paws. It'd be easy to assume by appearances alone that Otterpaw is some sort of fluffy, ill-tempered beast; but in truth? Otterpaw's just a big, lovable dork.

An extrovert at heart; the tomcat adores being around his fellow cats, he thrives being in the center of his friend's lifes and absolutely hates to see them upset. An upset friend is an upset Otterpaw, and the tabby would do practically anything to put a smile back on their face. The cat tends to be too emotional for his own good; Otterpaw gets upset far too easily, a single rude comment from someone he admires is enough to throw the apprentice into depression. The tom has a very harsh outlook towards himself, he believes himself to be worthless compared to every other cat in the clans, and once he's sad, it's one hell of a chore to try and cheer him up again.
Being such a harsh judge of himself makes him a poor team worker; the more he puts himself down, the more he fails at his assignments, and the more he feels worse for himself. Otterpaw physically needs praise from his fellow cats to be happy, the tom needs constant validation or he simply just isn't OK. He cares far too much what others think of him, and he'd bend over backwards to please them so they'll like him.
Overall Otterpaw is a sweet, caring cat with plenty of love to give. He's a big nerd who's absolutely obsessed with clan history, it's something he'd be happy to talk about until your ears fell off~!! His biggest weakness is his gaping self esteem issues, he has trouble believing in himself without significant help from his friends.
HISTORY ⌛
↞ Everyone has a story ↠
Brother to Mothpaw
AFORETIME //
A born and bred MoorClanner, Dawnstripe had always been a loyal cat to her clan. For years she served it unbiasedly, her ambition for rank and reputation flinging her full-force into her duties. Dawnstripe had put her status above a family, so imagine her surprise when she found herself falling for a handsome warrior many years her junior. In the back of her mind Dawnstripe had always wanted kittens of her own, and soon Oakfur gave her what she had once thought impossible.
CHILDHOOD //
Despite the suddenness of the pregnancy and Dawnstripe's considerable age, Otterkit and his sister Mothkit were born fat and healthy on a frosty newleaf morning. Dawnstripe and Oakfur were kind, loving parents to their two happy little accidents, and under their protective watch the siblings grew strong.
Otterkit was the runt of the litter, often the target of his sister's teasing and surprise attacks. The little kitten absolutely hated being pushed around by the bigger, stronger Mothkit and would mewl and complain until one of his parents finally came to his rescue. The kitten practically threw a party after his sister took an interest in following around the MoorClan medicine cat, he'd finally found a break from her rough-housing and could snuggle up to momma without even having to share! Otterkit loved his momma and her stories, and he absolutely loved when his momma let him visit the elders and hear their stories too. He quickly became obsessed with knowing all he possibly could about his clan's past, especially when it involved an exciting story!
When the kits were four moons old, Otterkit hit his growth spurt. It took him a REALLY long time to understand how to work these knew, giant paws or how to not smother his sister and mother in his floof when he cuddled up next to them. It was strange for him to go from the smallest to bigger than even his mother, and yet, he remained a pushover who easily fell to his sister's paws.
APPRENTICESHIP //
Besides being the awkward giant beaten up by his sister, Otterkit was named Otterpaw without much incident between then and now. The big fluff-ball of an apprentice has only been training for two moons, but still he's done his best to learn everything that his mentor tells him. He's not as good at hunting or fighting as the other cats... but he sure does know a heck of a lot of stories to tell his friends! Making his friends happy quickly became his favorite hobby, it was far more enjoyable than focusing on all of his considerable downfalls. On how he'd probably fail miserably, on how he was thinking about running away and just giving up.
But running away would make momma Dawnstripe ever so sad, and he was a good boy. He couldn't do that to his momma, no matter how much failing hurt his heart.
