LINK[/classy] [classy=infotop]personality[/classy][classy=infobottom]russetstone is not as stoic and hidden as he was as an apprentice. while some of the anger for his father still burns low in his stomach, he doesn't let it effect him as much. he has made himself be more talkative and social, but he's not an open book. while he doesn't mind conversing with others, he usually deflects any personal questions thrown at him. if they become overly persistent he usually finds a way to politely excuse himself and slips away to go for a swim. russetstone adores water and find that the gentle waves lap away his thoughts. he's actually fairly gentle normally, but he is known for his impressive battle skills. he's not one for graceful balance, though, and often trips over things that may or may not be there. russetstone isn't a great teacher, though, because he's not an expert on explaining things. he's more of a visual guy and if he can show you how to do it, you'll be fine. if not, well, you're in for an earfull of nothing but rambling. as for love, he's a bit hesitant on it. he wants to be better than his father but he's not sure if he can be. he's self-conscious, but he hides it behind his usual calm mask. only the few with sharp eyes know what lies beyond. [/classy] [classy=infotop]history[/classy][classy=infobottom]what seemed as though it was an affectionate relationship was quite the opposite. feathergaze had fallen for the handsome lionfur. he however, was not one to stick with females for very long. his mother knew this of course, but she had always told him that the heart wanted what the heart wanted. a romance sparked between the two, and as soon as they shared a few nights together, it was over. when feathergaze shared the news of kits, he froze up and started avoiding her at all costs. she knew of course that this was inevitable but she couldn't help but feel hurt. so she never told anyone who the father was. she knew her own mother especially would be disappointed in her for falling for him. when it was time to give birth, feathergaze found that she only had one son. but it hadn't mattered and she vowed to love him no matter what. as the little kit grew, lionfur occasionally threw glances at him, but that was it. he didn't know it, but feathergaze's hate for the tom was boiling inside of her. she kept russetkit tightly at her side. russetkit was quite a happy kit and definitely a mama's boy. he did whatever made her happy. he remembers sitting next to her on a lazy sunhigh. he was almost an apprentice. lionfur had walked in front of the lounging duo and tension suddenly sparked in feathergaze. he knew that lionfur was his father, but had promised not to tell anyone, as his mother made him. so when his apprentice ceremony rolled around, his mother was proudly shouting his new name over the crowd. russetpaw was surprised at the disappointment that his father was no where to be seen. only a half a moon later, lionfur had run off to another clan. he'd fallen head-over-heels for a pretty she-cat in thunderclan. he hasn't heard anything of them since, so he's not sure if they actually stayed in the clans. it was then that he hid himself and became irritable and frustrated. his mentor, a stoic young tom named minnowstone, had to deal with the blunt of russetpaw's emotions. the reddish apprentice would blow off duties or argue back. he had a habit of doing dangerous things just to see what would happen. one time it was especially bad. minnowstone had pulled him out to do some battle training just after sunhigh. russetpaw was feeling excessively angry that day and was unable to sit still while his mentor was speaking. minnowstone had growled at him, and then taught him the move swiftly. russetpaw had paid attention, though, and when his mentor ordered him to practice it, well, he did. except he promptly swiveled around and used the move on minnowstone. taken aback by the blatant disrespect of his apprentice, the gray warrior shoved russetpaw off of him with all of his force and pinned him angrily to the ground. russetpaw could quite literally feel waves of emotion pulse from his mentor. he tried to squirm from his grip but it was futile. minnowstone stared him down and opened his jaws to scream at him. he told his apprentice to get over himself, because nothing was going to get better if he didn't try. russetpaw had gone quiet after that. he rarely spoke to anyone except when questions were directed at him. his mentor felt a bit guilty around him, but he waved it off. minnowstone continued to push him, but now he went with the push. russetpaw often slipped out of camp at night to practice on his own. he wanted to show minnowstone that he was over himself. while he was still young, minnowstone had become a father figure for russetpaw. a few days after his final assessment, the stoic gray warrior passed on to the stars. ironically, he had drowned while trying to save a young apprentice from the harsh currents of the river. so, in his honor, when it was his turn to become a warrior, he was dubbed russetstone. again, he heard his mother's call over the rest.
