Well, okay, some would call it being lazy. Locustpaw does his work in a very particular way. He does it quickly and in the most efficient manner, end of story. This usually leaves him with ample free time in which he chooses to lay around in patches of sun or sprawl out on low tree branches. His sisters are quick to call him lazy because he's long ago figured out that if he gets excited then they'll just get even more so, so he simply doesn't. They pounce on him, jostle him, swat at him, Locustpaw lets it roll right off his back like water on a duck's wing. He deals with his sisters with a combination of bored sarcasm, blunt observation and lots of eye rolling. Most other cats get a similar treatment on the rare occasions in which Locustpaw decides to acknowledge them. For the most part if it doesn't interest him, he pays it no heed. Well, actually that's a lie but it'll be explained in a moment. Locustpaw, despite the popular opinion of those that come into contact with him and his family, is extremely intelligent. Almost scarily so sometimes. His intelligence is specifically geared toward observation. Very little goes unnoticed by Locustpaw, whether he reacts to it or not. He can divide his attention between multiple things with extreme ease and keep tabs on many enemies, clanmates or annoying sisters as needed to make sure nobody gets the better of him. Call it self defense if you will, against three extremely annoying sisters. What was once self defense in the nursery is quickly growing into Locustpaw's greatest asset as a warrior, his ability to observe and keep tabs on so many things. It allows him to keep calm in high pressure situations and deal with the drama that comes with being the only tom in a litter of four very...strong-willed she-cats. Thanks to his laid back personality and tendency to be not only non-violent but also non-confrontational, many believe Locustpaw to be very stupid. Many of the cats in WindClan also underestimate his speed, knowing that he's only a sprinter. Still, Locustpaw never bothers to correct them. He lets them think what they want and goes about his day without sparing it a thought. Sometimes he does want to yell at his sisters, to tell them to shut up and leave him alone but StarClan knows he never will. He loves them, despite how insane they are, and he cares for his clan though he often seems rather bland toward them. He would put his life on the line to save any of them but that doesn't stop Locustpaw from knowing his limitations. He understands when he's been beat, when he can do no more, a rare thing in an apprentice and something that is often mistaken for cowardice or weakness. Locustpaw makes it his strength.

Because he was born the only tom in a litter of four. His sisters, Flickerkit, Rabbitkit and Nettlekit all were born with potent personalities and often weren't above pushing around their more laid back brother. To the relief of his parents, Bramblespots and Thorntooth, Locustkit never seemed to rise to the bait his siblings laid. He would watch them impassively or just go wander off to do his own thing, looking for some sort of entertainment. Being a highly intelligent kit, he tended to have a short attention span and would always be poking around looking for something fun. Unfortunately that meant most of his time was spent alone except for one little ginger she-cat named Gingerkit. Fiery and loud, at first Locustkit kept well away from her simply because she was so like his dramatic siblings. One night however, when they were nearing apprenticeship, a thunderstorm broke over WindClan. Locustkit was woken by the sound of sniffling and a clap of thunder, the sniffling quickly turning into a half smothered squeak of fright. Without thinking, the pale tom crept from his nest with his sisters and sprawled out alongside the noisy ginger she-cat that was normally so fearless. Without a second thought he told her to go back to sleep and dropped back off himself. The two haven't spoken of the encounter or the fact that when storms break on the horizon Gingerpaw just so happens to settle in next to him. Locustpaw lets her do it and goes about his days as an apprentice with mild tolerance of his noisy denmates, dramatic sisters and Gingerpaw occasionally dogging his steps and demanding to know why he's so darn lazy.
