[ [ Jackaltooth is by no means a raggedy bag-of-bones tom. He is the image of majesty, the male toms wanna be and she-cats wanna be cuddly with. His hair makes him seem bigger than he is but it's really soft and shaggy, perfect to just sleep on. He also doesn't give off as much dander as other cats. He's best suited for the winter climate, as his voluminous hair keeps him warm so he barely feels it, except for when the snow gets on his nose or in his ears. He's not a Persian so he doesn't have that pushed-in muzzle but still, his snout is quite short of a tom of his size. His ears are small too. His head fits him well and is nestled in a mane of tawny-brown and white hair. His eyes are set here, pretty circles of amber.
Jackaltooth is larger than most of his Clanmates, rivalling Grainstar and the late Cinnabarcloud. He has large shoulders, which he could probably carry a kitten on. He's thickset so beware being on the enemy side when he's in battle. This juggernaut would just obliterate the opposition but he's kinda slow, despite having long, muscular legs. His tail is long too, like a broom.
His paws are colossal and quite hairy. When you see most cats' pawprints, they're just little circles in the snow or mud. This guy, though, has these pawprints that look like miniature explosions fringed with hair. His pads are pink, and so is the quick of his claws, which are clear.
Jackaltooth is a tawny tom, a mix between ginger and brown. He's also got some white in there, but for the most part, he is a handsome tawny hue from ear to tail. He's got some scars on his ears.

[ [ If this guy was a human, you'd probably see him in a top hat, cane, monocle, and a cigar between his fingers while he calls out "Hear, hear!" during a Parliament meeting. However, this is not a human roleplay and this is Jackaltooth we're talking about, the latest fashion of gentlemanly behavior. He treats women with the utmost respect. If his mother was alive, he would treat her like the dowager empress of Russia. He would treat his mate like a queen, his daughters like princesses. He is formal when he speaks, usually adding "Sir" or "Ma'am/Miss" to his sentences.
Jackaltooth is proud to be a BrightClanner and wouldn't have it any other way. He can get quite vehement about his beliefs as well so please don't rile him up in such a manner. He will challenge you to a duel if he hears you insulting his Clan, tiptoeing the line of courtesy at the Gatherings. Like all gentlemen, Jackaltooth can hide his emotions when he wants to, but he has the tendency to become as blustery as a red balloon.
Jackaltooth loves kittens and cannot wait to have some of his own one day. He finds kitting a fascinating experience and tends to spoil the queens of the nursery almost to the point of annoyance, lavishing compliments on their beauty and dropping a mouse or two whenever he comes by.
He's quite the know-all about subjects, considering it an affrontal whenever someone asks him if he knows something about a certain topic. He's quite intelligent and has an amazing memory. He's also good in snooping around for gossip, as if he was some old mother hen.

[ [ Juniperleaf was one of those she-cats that you knew she was going to end up broken. Abused as a kit and apprentice by her parents and mentor, she ended up going to MoonClan to find true love. She found a tom named Hiddenfang, who she poured all of her problems to. He was a calculating, cold creature who expressed false tones of sympathy and caring to her. Believing he really loved her, Juniperleaf left BrightClan for MoonClan. Hiddenfang was a bit irritated at this, however, as now she was ruining his relationship with his other mate, Passionheart. He managed to keep the two apart by sending Juniperleaf away, telling her that MoonClan had decided not to let her join. The pregnant she-cat was dismal, so she made her way back to BrightClan. When her father, Tawnysand, found out about her pregnancy with this Hiddenfang character, he beat the living crap out of her, causing her to lose the kits. Juniperleaf, battered and heartbroken, ran to Hiddenfang about it. Her lover concocted a plan: murder Tawnysand and his mate, Embercharm, along with Juniperleaf's old mentor, Shamrockflight. Juniperleaf agreed.
She led Hiddenfang to BrightClan, where he'd wait with three of his friends while she got her parents. Tawnysand was suspicious though, and when Hiddenfang sprung the trap, he ran off. While the tom's three friends killed Embercharm, Hiddenfang chased down the fleeing Tawnysand and slew him. Juniperleaf was finally free, but Hiddenfang still didn't really love her. Knowing that kits would keep her off his tail for the moment, he mated with her again.
Two months later, she bore four kits: Jackalkit, Standingkit, Hawkkit, and Somberkit. She ran to Hiddenfang about it once she was healthy enough to wean the kittens and leave them with other queens for the moment. However, Passionheart had gotten wind of Hiddenfang's two-timing and she met Juniperleaf en route to her mate. Furious, the she-cat killed Juniperleaf, flinging the corpse at Hiddenleaf and then leaving MoonClan camp forever. Hiddenfang went to BrightClan, telling Ghostlystar about what had happened, that Juniperleaf had been killed while trespassing on MoonClan territory. Ghostlystar thanked Hiddenfang for telling him before assigning one of the queens to take care of the four orphaned kits.
Jackalkit became Jackalpaw in his sixth moon, apprenticed to a tom named Chalkpelt. While the sickly white tom wasn't always on task, the massive Jackalpaw did learn a lot from him and was sad when Chalkpelt died at the end of his apprenticeship. That was when Jackalpaw became Jackaltooth, warrior of BrightClan.
