Spikepelt

Spikepelt is a grey long-haired tom with icy blue eyes and light and dark grey markings.

Story
Spikepelt was nervous since he was born. He was bullied for his hesitance and anxiety and struggled to fit in with normal clan life. He quickly bonded with Rosecreek, a gentle cat who helped soothe his nervous nature and help him grow into a strong warrior. Later Rosecreek and Spikepelt became mates. Spikepelt was very excited to raise his daughter Smallpetal, and was also nervous about her desire to learn more about fighting. He didn't want his tiny daughter to get hurt! Realizing she wasn't gonna stop, he just taught her some himself and was a really good dad. He mourned when his wife passed, but learned to cope with his anxiety regardless and carry on her memory.

Personality and Relationships
Spikepelt is anxious, stressed, caring and considerate. His nerves get the best of him a lot of the time and he has trouble hunting or fighting completely by himself. Shining through his anxiety is a cat who really cares about his family. He doesn't have much loyalty to his clan honestly, but participates in clan life to help the elders and queens who wouldn't be able to hunt or take care of themselves otherwise. This makes him a more isolated figure in the clans, not really in love with Thunderclan. He cares deeply about Smallpetal and Rosecreek, and all other cats he is neutral about. A few cats like Duskstar, Redwoods and Goldenstar he is generally suspicious of and has never fully trusted.
