The Essentials

Quickly after leaving the womb he wiggled his way up to his mothers belly to find his place; surrounding himself in her plush fur; thus earning the name Tangledkit.

-thorn : Named after the barb his tone and attitude can take when pushed too far as well as the sharp point of his claws.

The Body


Base Coat Color: Black
Markings: N/A; solid in color
Eye Color: Green
Body Size and Build: Tangledthorn's body is average in size; however, his long legs and tail make him appear rather tall. His muscles are fairly toned and he can take on a relatively skinny appearance when looked upon from certain angles.
Fur Length and Texture: With incredibly short, glossy fur Tangledthorn doesn't really match well to the typical long, thick fur found on most Nightwalkers.
Additional Physical Traits: Perhaps the most notable feature of this tom is his large, pointed ears that give him a real height advantage over other cats who also sport a tall frame. Tangledthorn's wide set nose and short black whiskers really draw the eye when one faces him directly and the long, hooked claws on his feet are his biggest attribute for hunting large prey.
Health and Scars: Healthy for his age though some like to tease his skinnier frame and claim he is sickly when compared to the hulking mass that is his sister, Pantherfoot. Tangledthorn does flaunt some handsome scars; the most noticeable being the 1/4th inch gash at the base of his left ear and the 1/3rd inch crooked scar covering his left shoulder blade; both from an eager owl looking to use the tom as an easy meal when he was a young, petite Trainee.

Full Trait Description:
Tangledthorn longs to be the model image of a Nightwalker and his strive to impress his family and friends is a constant struggle for the tom. His active attempts at remaining calm and collected has made him rather self-reflective and he typically thinks before he acts or speaks which sometimes results in long pauses in his speech or behavior. This usually results in Tangledthorn remaining quiet in most conversations though he will chime in with his opinion if he deems it necessary. His mannerisms can be rather intense to many who speak with him, especially to Dawn/Duskwalkers or those unfamiliar with Tangledthorn in general. Those who stick around and get to know this tom see the poise and clever side to him; after all those kinds of characteristics are what is expected of the perfect Nightwalker. Acting like the perfect, sophisticated Nightwalker is quite taxing on Tangledthorn and in times of great stress or sudden shocks a more aggressive and explosive side comes out. Most often being “perfect” makes Tangledthorn feel as though he’s dishonest with himself though he often tries not to think about what he could be but more of what he should be. His tall frame and imposing features only complicate matters when it comes to first impressions so many who first meet him can get rather confused over what kind of personality Tangledthorn truly possesses. When placed between two conflicting sides Tangledthorn can be relatively diplomatic and likes to consider both sides of an argument before committing to a perspective. When this tom has finally settled his mind on something he can be blunt and unfriendly; especially if his opinions are called into question or he’s annoyed by others who attempt to argue with him.

Tangledthorn’s belief in gods and reincarnation is rather average for a cat raised to have strong religious beliefs. He prays to Mayank; usually for guidance and strength, especially in moments of limited patience or confusion but his worship of the god always leaves Tangledthorn feeling like he’s missing some kind of connection, as if he’s yelling into a void and expecting an echo that will never come. Mostly Tangledthorn is drawn to the god Oases; their message of acceptance something the tom longs for but would likely never know what to do with if he ever received it. Above all else Tangledthorn constantly wonders about the kind of cat he was in past lives and if at some point long ago the heart of a Daywalker resided in his soul.

The Past


Born the youngest in a litter of three, Tangledkit was average in size with long and awkward limbs and although he wasn't quite what his parents wanted out of him; they were happy nonetheless that not a speck of white marred his solid black coat. From his youth praises of his perfection were all thanks to the bloodline he originated from and the thanks he needed to give was to his ancestors. Despite the equity between siblings his older sister Pantherkit drew the eye of their parents which was ever the source of confusion and a bit of childish resentment. They were no different from one another.. sure Pantherkit was bulkier and smart but what his parents lacked to see was the pretentiousness that came with being the golden child. When they saw perfection, Tangledkit saw a snob who got away with anything she wanted. His viewpoint was that of a kit who wanted his fair share of the limelight so the only solution was to strive for his own kind of perfection. He would be the best HE could be and perhaps that would not only win his parents praise but that of all Nightwalkers.

When Sliverkit came into Pantherkit's life, Tangledkit took that as an opportunity to wedge his way into his parents line of sight. He was always conscious of appearing clever and put together, even when there was an itch to go racing into the night chasing moths or rolling around with a ball of moss. These actions were playful kit nonsense and he needed to focus on becoming a Trainee. While Pantherpaw progressively acted out the more they aged, Tangledpaw became a precise weapon for his clan; his claws honed for defending his fellow Nightwalkers. So while a little voice in his head wondered about the Daywalkers he passed from time to time or the treatment of the Cursed, he shook those thoughts away and made a point to impress his parents the best he could.

He earned the name Tangledthorn for his personality and claws and he stood proudly before the Nightwalkers as a full fledged warrior. Throughout their warriorhood he saw a big change in his sister, Pantherfoot. Once the cocky individual who hung out with her Duskwalker friend; leaving Tangledthorn to be the 'project' of their parents; now she was back in their good graces and he was pushed into her shadow once more. Tangledthorn has been left feeling stuck between two choices; stay the coarse and be the image of 'perfection' or crack his exterior and let whats hiding inside him shine through.
