Most cats find unfortunate little Barracudapaw to be downright ugly, a disaster resulting from the collision of fate and faulty genes. Poor dearie, shall we take a closer look? How about we start with his figure.
He's far from scrawny. His build can be described as nothing other than large, and muscular. The apprentice's paws are absolutely huge, thus quite powerful. His tail is not long, but not short, just medium-length. Barracudapaw has somewhat short legs, but the strength within them makes sure that he can keep up with others. Nonetheless, it's quite hard only having three limbs. That's right, he was born without his left hind leg. That's not his only natural-born problem- his teeth are ridiculously large, almost like looking at a caricature. His claws match well, long and thick.
Moving on with, hmm, let's say his other little things?
The dog attack has left him deformed. His right eye is missing, so the lid is always closed. Upon where the optic once was lies a huge crescent-shaped scar. It is permanent, and no fur grows there. The wound stretches for a little over half of the length of his face. Besides that, the better part of his ear is torn off. It healed to beside undersized and strangely shaped. To add to his ugliness, his fur is ragged and matted and sticking out in all directions.
Had enough? Well, you haven't seen everything yet.
Barracudapaw's pelt is a dusty and unattractive tan color, dull and unshining. No matter how much he may try to clean himself, it remains ugly and repulsive as it is. His muzzle and underbelly are snow white, but do nothing to help him. Finally, his one remaining eye is the darkest shade of blue. It's always sparkling with excitement and glee, despite his appearance and brutal past.

Extremely forgiving and incredibly loyal, Barracudapaw is a great cat to hang around. Sadly, his repulsive appearance repels others and leaves him alone. Oblivious to their remarks due to his recessive hearing, other apprentices and kits are always teasing him behind his back. Though he is great at moving on and welcoming the new day, this EclipseClanner is quite sensitive. His feelings are easily hurt. Nonetheless, he is hyper and bubbly, optimistic about life. Far from shy, the tom is always welcoming to new friends. He can't recall much from the dog attack, for he was knocked unconcious from being whipped against a tree. The memory is very vague to him, and he might not be able to tell stories of it as an elder from the loss.

Barracudakit was the happiest and sweetest kit you could ever imagine. He knew quite well that he was different with his missing limb and his saber-like teeth, but it didn't matter much back then. Sure, he got a few comments about the leg, but his teeth were actually admired by most kits and sometimes even apprentices. Now though, on top of everything else, they're considered more of a burden, if you will.
He was excited as any other kit when he was apprenticed four moons ago. It was strange being alone though, as his sickly siblings had all died by the age of two moons. His mother did suicide, and his father disappeared no long after. He was given a cat named Saberstrike for his mentor. They were closer than most of the apprentice and mentor pairs, as the warrior also shared a missing leg, except his was his front right. Nothing they did could have trained him for what happened next though.
It was little known that a rabid dog had entered the forest. When he was only seven moons, Barracudapaw and Saberstrike encountered it during a hunt. It went after the apprentice, throwing him against a tree. His mentor slashed its flank and it retaliated, charging after the attacker when it was back on its feet.
When Barracudapaw woke up, he was in Littlefox's and Prophecyteller's den. A patrol had found him and returned him to camp. He wasn't sure exactly what happened recently before. Everything was so vague and cloudy. When he asked where Saberstrike was, he was given a grave answer. His mentor was dead.
He was quick to move on, but it still pains his heart to know that his best friend is gone forever. The attack has, as mentioned before, deformed him, but he doesn't mind much. It was only recent that he has left the medicine cat's den, so he still awaits his new mentor. But now he's lonelier than ever, for cats can hardly bear to look at him without gagging.
