Full Personality;
Brackenclaw is a tough, silent tom with not a lot to say. He's a big, husky sort of fellow, with an out-of-the-woods attitude and a bit of a sergeant-major kind of personality. He's a tough cat to get along with, but nonetheless he's strong and he knows more about patrolling than practically anyone. He's hardy, he can travel for days and days on very little, and he's a master at fighting techniques. Personality wise, though, he's a bit surly and short tempered. He gets frustrated when others can't do what he asks after several tries, and is always ragging on someone for being sloppy in their technique. He's not afraid to criticize anyone, including his higher-ups, and won't stand to be bossed around or told what to do. Despite this, however, he's a very loyal ally and extremely attached to the clan.
In Iceclan he has the reputation of being an excellent mentor... as long as his apprentice is willing to work hard to gain his approval and bear up well under his harsh teaching style. He's one of the best fighters in the clan, and he knows everything about traveling out in the open territory with nothing but one's own claws and teeth between then and death. In short, he's a useful sort of cat but hard to get along with, and he doesn't make a whole lot of friends because of it. He's dangerously stubborn, and a bit of a pessimist.

Full description;
Brackenclaw is fairly average-average, slightly larger than most other cats but not huge, and not altogether unusual in any way. He's sturdy as a rock and well-built, a good looking warrior by any standards. A splash of orange-red shows on his nose, and he is gray in color with black ticking and stripes, a small white swirl on the very edge of his chest.
HISTORY + ETC.
History; Brackenclaw wasn't born in Iceclan, he was the son of a loner who died before he was quite weaned, a very young kit and his siblings left alone in the world. All of his brothers and sisters died, but Brackenclaw didn't fall to the same doom. He was the largest of the litter, but all the same his survival was quite miraculous, and he wasn't picked up by the clan until he was a feral six-month old who was ready to fight anything. Iceclan took him in as an apprentice, however, and he took to the way of the warrior fairly well, although his youth had an obvious mark upon his personality. [/size]
