Bio/Personality:

Pikefang isn't one who usually talks too much or rambles, but at the same time he is talkative and enjoys having conversations with others; even if he has his moments of quietness. He is generally a friendly tom who doesn't care about another's origin and hates it when he feels a cat is being judged based only certain things about them and not the overall 'package' and strives to become close with all his clan-mates. He also is quite a respectful cat, only ever being the opposite if someone is being mean to a member of his family of or pushes him to the point of annoyance or worse. He is a highly loyal cat as well, who wouldn't easily break the warrior code or betray his clan and he especially wouldn't betray his family.

Pikefang's loyalty to his family was always stronger than his loyalty to his clan though, so he wouldn't be above betraying the clan or warrior code, even if it wouldn't be easy for him, if it was for the better good of his family. So if it isn't obvious, Pikefang loves any family he has, or cats he considers family, deeply, even if they aren't particularly close, and while this love can be one of his strong point and greatest strengths; it can also be his greatest weakness. For when it comes to his family, he is quite gullible and way to trusting, even if for example, one of his kin committed one of the worst crimes possible. He would even, in fact, forgive a cat like that as long as they were his kin quite easily.

Pikefang can easily be taken advantage of or tricked by his family. He also believes StarClan exists, but now lacks any faith in it. Another thing about him is that he hates getting sick and doesn't really like mice or herbs anymore either, nor tree climbing or hunting. He does like hunting though as long as it's not tree hunting and is skilled at it and he is rather skilled at fighting as well.

History:

Pikefang was born to two respected warriors of OakClan as their firstborn kit, beginning with the name Pikekit, before he grew up a fairly normal kithood. Even at this young age, the tom loved his family dearly and had the friendly and polite nature he still has today, but at the time it got him friendships with other its in the nursery. Eventually, he was apprenticed as he was given the name Pikepaw and the mentor, Vixenblaze. It was during his apprenticeship, that he kept the friendships he had made as kit and earned new ones with other apprentices. He even started to realize while he had become attracted to other mollies around his age, he had developed something deeper, a crush, for a molly named Leafpaw who he became particularly close to.

But eventually, Pikefang fell sick and was forced to take time away from his training, to recover as he either stayed in the medicine cat den or visited it frequently, leading for him to start becoming rather familiar with the medicine cat at the time. It also started his dislike, assumingly natural and understanding at the time, for herbs. His current situation frustrated the young tom though and being sick made him not entirely act like himself, which lead him to become a bit uncharacteristically snappy with others, especially Leafpaw who frequently bothered him while he was sick. This, in turn, lead to some distance between the two as well.

Pikefang earned his dislike for mice while he was sick, for his stomach, unsettled for a moment during that time, made him throw up a mouse he had eaten and do to how the taste of the prey makes him feel now; he just can't bring himself to like or not mind it again. Anyways, he eventually recovered, though things ended up remaining awkward between him and Leafpaw for awhile. But not long after recovering, his parents finally told him about a stillborn sibling he had, which saddened him even if he never knew them, and he was a bit upset with them for not telling him sooner, but since they were his family; he quickly forgave them for that. He also emerged from his sickness with a new mentor to train him, a tom called Firefoot, for while Vixenblaze hadn't died; it had been decided while he was sick for his former mentor to mentor a new apprentice and for Firefoot to take over his training instead.

Pikefang was upset about this, but ultimately got over it as Firefoot pushed him, training him hard to make up for the time he had missed. It seemed fate was determined to keep him from his training though, as he eventually went out on a solo hunt one day and went chasing after a squirrel who lead him up a tree in his chase. At the time, while he didn't have much an opinion of climbing, strongly lacked experience with it, so he ended up loosing his grip and falling. Luckily he wasn't up highly enough for the fall to kill him, but the fall down cause to hit and scrape against some sharp twigs and tree branches that lead to the scars on his flank that he sill has today and the impact left him rather sore.

It was this event that made Pikefang dislike tree climbing and hunting and kept him from ever wanting to do it again, as he returned to camp, prey-less and injured. He was yet again because of this forced to take time off of his training as he recovered, either having to stay in the medicine cat den and visit it frequently for treatment. Leafpaw was obviously more reluctant to hang around the tom as he recovered this time, yet she did, though not as much and it allowed them to this time mend the awkwardness between them and not make it worse. He eventually recovered like the last time, as he returned to training with Firefoot and this time with no interruptions.

Pikefang, after Firefoot deemed he had learned enough and had passed his assessment, finally became a warrior much to his delight. It seemed fate planned on keeping him from his warrior duties as well, as he fell sick yet again, as Leafpaw, who had become Leafheart, fell ill too. He once more found himself having to stay in the medicine cat den or visit it frequently, except this time he had Leafheart to do it with, and a new medicine cat, or rather medicine apprentice to deal with, as Asphodelberry, who was Asphodelpaw at the time had recently been apprentice to the medicine cat. This brought the two warriors closer as his feelings for her became deeper and he found himself hoping that one day, they'd become mates.

Pikefang's wish never came true, as while he recovered just like had those other times, Leafheart became worse until she passed. Grief stricken, he mourned the loss of someone he cared deeply about as it was then he decided he'd no longer get the help of the medicine cat's herbs when he could use them. But he didn't get much time to focus on his grief, or there was a time when he shouldn't have, as he was given an apprentice, Adderpaw. Maybe the leader of the time was hoping to help him move on, to make up for the stuff he had missed while he was either sick or injured, by giving him an apprentice to focus on.

If that was the leader's plan, it helped, Pikefang was able to not focus on his grief as much with an apprentice to take care of. But the grief was still there and it wasn't like he didn't focus on it at all, as there was times he struggled to train Adderpaw, especially when more of his kithood and apprenticehood friends began to die or disappear too and honestly that's what shattered his faith in StarClan in the end. He didn't let those events completely shut him down though, as he focused on Adderpaw, the friends he could of had left, and his clan-mates which despite everything he strove to get close to. His hard work paid off, as Adderpaw eventually finished his training and passed his assessment and was given the name Adderfur.

Pikefang was proud and happy at the same time, but that feeling didn't last, nor did it appeared to be the end of his grief as Adderfur fell ill. He felt worried and couldn't help but fear the worse, even with his apprentice getting treatment, which for the record, he didn't try to stop despite his own feelings and decision. It didn't seem his feelings were misplaced as Adderfur didn't recover, just like Leafheart hadn't, and passed away. Grief stricken yet again, he dealt with it much better then he had the first time, as he hadn't admittedly become a bit numb or used to it when it came to loosing the cats he cared about.

Pikefang, after that, was given some uneventful moons as he didn't have to deal with any heartbreak. Now he is at the age of twenty-four moons and still holds onto some grief, he's just dealing with it rather well and is not focusing on it as much.
