Description

.: PERSONAL DETAILS :.
Name:
Scout - Atticus - Mockingbird
Mockingbird After the nest of birds above the tree he was born near.

Gender: Tom
Clan: Highclan | Rank: Warrior
DOB: October 11th, 2013 | WC: July 24th, 2015
Mentored by: N/A | Has Mentored: N/A | Mentoring: Wakepaw

.: PERSONALITY :.
 - Positive
 - Neutral
 - Negative

❤ Brave 
While he won't do it all for just anyone, Mockingbird will stand fierce and determined for those he has come to trust and feels protective of. He can be brave to the point of recklessness, but the tom hardly ever sees it in this way.

❤ Just 
While he may be a lot of other things, Mockingbird is a Just tom, and does believe in hearing every side of a story. He tries to make the right decisions based on the information that he has, and always attempts to do what he believes is right - this doesn't mean he's always correct though.

❤ Friendly 
He enjoys being friendly, he likes chatting with ease to others about how things are going and just general chitter-chatter. He has a positive outlook on others, preferring to see the best rather than the worse. He particularly has an obsession with not liking to see other cats unhappy.

❤ Honest 
He is a tom that always speaks his mind, albeit he usually doesn't have a bad word to say about anyone, but he tends to follow a flow of conversation, asking the questions he wants to ask and giving the answers without variation from the truth. He believes dishonesty is thorny path that never serves you well in the end.

❤ Charming 
Mockingbird likes to charm, he likes the feeling he gets when somebody responds positively to the words he's said, and while he can be quite selfish in this way, it isn't always for his own needs. Charm can often bring a smile to another cat's face, and he appreciates that just as much, charm needn't always be flirtatious.

❤ Reckless 
This was more of an issue when he was younger, enjoying the thrill of putting himself in danger - usually to impress a she-cat, but this side of this trait has dwindled. Mockingbird is now far more reckless in the way he throws himself into conversations or situations without thinking, he has an easy way of talking, and sometimes he forgets others may not always appreciate that.

❤ Selfish 
Sometimes Mockingbird can overly focus on the goal he wants - sometimes forgetting that everything doesn't always neatly follow his plan. He likes to feel good and happy within himself, and sometimes he can step over lines trying to achieve this.

Scars: One down his eye that is fairly obvious, and a few others his thick pelt hides.


.: HISTORY :.
Kithood
- Born to a litter of three to his mother, Atticus never knew his father who had long since cleared off.
- He has quite a pleasant upbringing with his mother, sheltered in a log near the edge of a popular Two-legs 'No Dogs Allowed' forest.
- Found a nest of birds in the tree above them, the birds had similar colours to him and he asked his mother what they were called. She told him they were mockingbirds.
- They were forced to leave when he and his siblings were about 10 moons old, due to people cutting down the trees.
- Eventually he separated off from his mother as did his other brother, while his sister opted to stay with her.

Life on His Own
- He changed his name to Atticus, as he felt it sounded braver and more impressive than Scout.
- Atticus began traveling by himself, moving swiftly from place-to-place, marveling at the world he saw around him, keen to see more-and-more of it.
- While staying a short distance from a Two-leg place he ended up getting caught up in the fleeing Cats who were running away from the machines building a Thunderpath.
- As it seemed rather exciting and they were traveling anyway, he joined their little party and ended up on the Highclan border with them.
- In Highclan he met Roseberry, although he could never remember her full name so just called her 'Rose'.
- Although he enjoyed staying in Highclan, he did not opt to stay like many of the other Loners he'd been traveling with did.
- He began traveling again, but often told the story of the Clans to Cats he met on his journeys.
- Decided to travel back to the Clans to see Roseberry again, and to check how the Loners he'd left behind were doing.
- Met Roseberry's Kits and grew attached to the four of them very quickly, even Nightkit who was a little less sure about him.
- Wiltedkit, one of Roseberry's Kits falls from a ledge in Camp and dies.
Warriorhood
- After Talonstar gave him an ultimatum about joining the Clan, Atticus realised that he couldn't leave Roseberry or her Kits and decided to stay, taking on the new name Mockingbird.
- Tried to become closer to Roseberry, often volunteering to watch her Kits while she had some time to herself.
- Roseberry's Kits became Apprentices, he was given Wakepaw to train.
- Owlmoon announced the wolves were coming, Mockingbird joined his Clanmates in the lower territory group to stop them by starting a rockslide over the cave exit. They were successful.
- Quickly ran to find Roseberry again to make sure her and the Kits were safe.

Roseberry 
I thought I could make her happy again... I thought I could find that playful gleam I saw before. I understand she's been through difficult times, but I'm no longer sure what I can say to her. I love her of course... but I love a part of her that doesn't seem to appear any more. She seems to spend more time shouting at me and snapping at me to leave her alone when I try to cheer her up than anything else.

Wakepaw 
She's my Apprentice now, as well as like a daughter to me. She's really cheery and upbeat, I can admire that, and I hope she continues to stay this happy. She's a strong she-cat too, with a lot of willpower, hopefully that will protect her as she grows older.

Sleepingpaw 
He's Rose's only surviving son now. He's also an Apprentice now, and I must be sure to check on him to make sure he's still okay and keeping up with his training. He's a kindly and well meaning tom, but he does drift off into his own head quite a lot - I can relate to that though.

Deathpaw 
I really want her to feel like I'm a part of her family, but it's been harder to bond with her than her littermates. She seems to be a very angry young she-cat, I hope that I can cheer her up a little, maybe she'll be easier around me then.

Whitenose 
He seems like an interesting tom. I first met him as a Loner outside the Clans, but we seemed to have joined Highclan around the same time. It's kind of nice to have someone around who's sort of going through the same thing as you.

.: TRIVIA :.
* He was originally not intended to be a permanent character.

* Mockingbird has Somali in him because I'd love for there to one day be some somali kittens in Highclan.

* His name origin is pretty obvious, Scout being the nickname of the main character from 'To Kill a Mockingbird', Atticus being her father, then Mockingbird after the title of the book.

* Although he shares similar names to the characters in the book, he is not actually based on any of them.

Okay! ;u; I'll start if you'd like


----------------
Whitenose had passed out of the Warriors den. A long sleep was good for him, the cave where the Warriors slept was somewhat cold compared to the sweltering heat outside. He couldn't really imagine how any cat could survive in such immense heat. The large Tom flicked his pale yellow eyes to his own pelt. It was grey, thick, and a lot of fluff.

If Whitenose wanted to stay safe he would have to watch himself in this heat. He decided to pad over to the fresh kill pile, where a few cats here and there were scattered around. Some eating in the shade and others just quickly eating before heading out on a patrol, or apprentices going for training. Whitenose watched as an apprentice scampered out of camp. When he was an apprentices age he was traveling and learning how to survive properly. He decided to pluck a bird off from the side of the pile and took it to the corner of camp, where a cliff edge stuck out, so it provided a decently amount of shade.
