Moongaze

ShortDescription

Personality Traits
Headstrong, kind, proud. He's a sweetie, honestly. Just a little grumpy sometimes. But who can blame him? He's still young and strong. He's kind to most cats, gentle with kits especially. But he's also pretty headstrong and will leave camp if he wants to. And he can get around alright, as long as he doesn't wander too far.

Likes
Quiet days, the sounds of a happy clan, days where he doesn't have to doubt himself, where he feels strong and confident. He's also rather fond of rabbit! Not so easy to catch these days, though...

Dislikes
Noise. Chaos. When things change and he gets confused. When he's embarrassed, or doubts himself. Cats who doubt him. Tripping. Fish. Rain. Ugh.

Strengths
Listening, both to sad cats and to the world around him. He's also still pretty strong, despite everything.

Weaknesses
He's blind. He used to like swimming, but now the river is an overwhelming stream of noise: He'll never lose the river, but trying to hear anything ELSE near it is nearly impossible. Same goes for the rain, when it feels like the river comes to him.

This is why he retired.

Parents
Both of his Parents are still alive, though elderly. He has a good relationship with them, though a lot of it now is due to sleeping in the elder's den with them most evenings. They often help him out during the moments where he can't help himself (trying to get around a crowded camp for example)

Mate
He loves his Dovewatcher. Maybe more kits are in the future?

Kits
Whitesnout and 2 other still alive.

Apprentice
His relationship with Pebblepaw is just beginning.

Enemies
None right now. There was a cat from Moorclan he didn't like much but... well. He hasn't seen him in moons.

Short Backstory
Moongaze was your usual tomkit: bold and headstrong, getting into trouble, and his mother was all too happy to shoo him off into the paws of his mentor. He grew quickly, with his sharp eyes and ears helping him to be an agile, capable hunter, and one of the favored young warriors for border patrols. Some thought that he might be a good contendor for clan leader one day... but then... after a fight with a rogue cat, he started having trouble with his eyes. The medcat was confused because his eyes didn't seem like they'd been injured at all, and yet.... the world grew foggy, dimming. Still, he had a lovely mate and healthy strong kits, and his clan supports him so he can't complain. Mostly. Mostly... Still, he resented his early retirement almost as much as he resented the fact that, these days, all he can see is light, dark and some vague shapes. It's not that he thinks that his retirement was wrong, it's more... why him? Well, he has his strength and will still, and goes on walks around the camp regularly, doing 'patrols' around the area close to camp. He's slow, but he knows the territory well, and still manages to bring something for the freshkill pile every couple days.

Recent History
He was recently given Pebblepaw as a new apprentice, despite his retirement.
