Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity

Thunderpaw seems to have each of the seasons woven into him: calming browns like the first dirt grounds of new-leaf, wondeful green eyes like the color of the trees in green-leaf, rusted oranges from the leaf-fall leaves, and a whitish underbelly like the snow. It's really quite beautiful, like a tapestry of nature itself. His ears are perfectly sized and placed, tipped with black and framing the tabby markings on his forehead perfectly. The rest of his face is far from slim, but still beautifully angular. His nose is an umber color, harmonizing with his pelt. Two wide, grass-green eyes are strikingly bright compared to the rest of him, adding even more to his charm.

Let's move down to his body. Still tinged with light browns and ambers, his shoulders are wide across and attatch to bulky, muscular limbs. Large paws adorn this apprentice, big enough to make even a warrior think twice about attacking him. Inside every toe is a razor-sharp, moonlight-colored claw. The pads that hold up the paws are the same color as his nose, dark chocolate brown, and cracked so much it's hard to believe Thunderpaw isn't complaining. To go with these legs and paws is a muscular core, of course. Jumping and running is no problem for this cat, perhaps the opposite of Yewchime and her sleek body. Despite all this, though, Thunderpaw isn't a horribly large cat. He's just bulky - that's all.

This SerenityClanner's tail is a striped one, actually quite strangely colored. Brown and white stripes with brown seeping between them. Rings of this combonation circle the tail completely, ending with a mottled tail.

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me.

Ah, when one thinks Thunderpaw, they probably think pride. Always looking brave and strong, Thunderpaw will rush into battle at the first call, will hunt any time - he is going to be a fine and loyal warrior for his Clan, that's for sure. Even then, he tends to be a show-off at times, bragging about his skills to the other apprentices. Still, no one can doubt that his heart is true. Thunderpaw is, in fact, mature for his age - especially after meeting Yewchime. He tends to keep to himself unless training or hunting, but is not silent. He will strike up a convorsation easily, although won't be truely honest with anyone unless they are the best of friends. Somehow, unconciously, the poor tom seems to hunt at the EclipseClan border more often that any other - and EclipseClan is where his former mate hails from. That aside, Thunderpaw can be brutal if the word 'kits' or sometimes even 'EclipseClan' is mentioned. He is scarred deeply both by knowing that he was disloyal to his Clan and the fact that not one of his kits lived... also, though he doesn't like to admit it, he is upset too at the pain he caused Yewchime.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

Thunderkit was the only healthy kit born to Sparringheart and Warrenpelt, two feircely loyal SerenityClanners. Though his father died when he was young, as did his sister, Junekit, his mother raised him to always respect the warrior code and StarClan - basically everything any other mother would tell their kits. But, unlike any other kits, Thunderkit listened carefully. He wanted to be the best warrior he could be. He had to be. The greif of loosing a mate and kit was hard on Sparringheart, and eventually she retreated to the medicine den to recover and handed Thunderkit over to another queen to suckle.
Only one night after his apprenticeship, Sparringheart died of an infected wound caused long before Thunderpaw's birth. Although shocked at his mother's death, also shooken that he had no family left in the Clan, he refused to let that halt his training. Thunderpaw greived for Sparringheart, then continued with his mentor - Jupiterclaw, a senior warrior - the next day, with twice the intensity he had tried with before then. His parents were watching him - he had to make them proud.

But there was one thing even Thunderpaw couldn't resist, and that was love. At a gathering as a young apprentice, he noticed Yewchime - an EclipseClan warrioress. He was smitten from that very momment, but didn't bet on meeting her again until he ran into her at the border. They talked, and eventually those meetings became regular things. One day, Thunderpaw couldn't help himself - he told her he loved her, and was surprised to hear that she loved him back. The next time they met, he found out that she was expecting his kits. He didn't see her for a while after that, but eventually she told him the news: Cosmickit and Tallkit were stillborn, never to open their eyes. For the next few moons after that, Thunderpaw was unreachable - he would snap and yell at anyone who came near him, and no one knew why, as no one knew that he was in fact the father of the stillborn kits.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

POISON tears crash DOWN

But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
