Apperence
Stagforst was always built with a sturdy frame, with long powerful legs and an overall strong body. He has thick, brown fur, somewhat resmebling the color of bark, with a thick, darker color on his ears, and running down in a thick stripe down his neck, over his back, and down his tail, with a few jagged markings of the same color in is shoulder blades. His also has a white on his throart, chest, belly, and tailtip. His fur can be somewhat fluffy in places, but it doesn't stand out anywhere on his body expect his tail, which is rather fluffy and decently long.
Personailty:
Brief overview: Stagfrost is an exeptional warrior, loyal and hardworking, but sometimes struggles to open up with his emotions and is generally very closed of and distant.
In-depth:
Independent is a keyword when it comes to describing him. He is somewhat distant from others sometimes, not detached from their issues, but tends to keep to himself most of the time. He also often butts in others' conversations and tends to only talk about serious things when in private. He deeply dislikes having to ask for help with anything and prefers to only have to rely on himself. He doesn't see needing help as a weakness exactly but doesn't do it himself.
He can also be quite proud, both of his clan and overall, and he has always and will always value Riverclan above all, and most of his actions and motivations can be traced back to his undyingly loyal devotion to his birth home. He wasn't raised on the belief that if he wasn't willing to live and die for his clan he didn't deserve to be in it, but it instead manifested over his apprenticeship and as he grew it became one of his defying traits.
He is rather careful about his appearance, not because he is self-absorbed, vain, or anything like that, but mostly because of his pride. He is too proud to leave his pelt a mess, or not remove plant pieces.
He can have a temper sometimes, but mainly when it comes to Riverclan and defending it, but when he is calm he can be quite a good public speaker, and when speaking to a crowd is just about the only time he will loosen up a little bit and stop being so closed off.
Though a somewhat surprising soft side can show when he interacts with kits, provided they aren't rude or entitled. He doesn't place the same expectations on younger cats as he does on warriors and older apprentices, but if they show promise he can get some hope for them (they are Riverclan's future warriors, medicine cats, and leaders after all).
He is very hard-working, and it isn't unusual for him to place the importance of work before things like his mental and physical health and wellbeing. This ties back to his loyalty and devotion to Riverclan, and he, therefore, doesn't like to see laziness among his clanmates, often quick to call and rat them out for behavior like that.
Respect is something he places great importance on, but he very much believes it is earned, not handed out. He will have initially more respect for the higher the rank of a cat, but his view is quick to change based on what the cat does, and it happens that he has more respect for a warrior than a leader or deputy, or for a kit more than an apprentice if he sees them as more deserving of it.
He can be somewhat opinionated, and if in the mood to do so, might get into an argument if someone seems to have thoughts against what he thinks is best for Riverclan.
As stated before, he is very closed off and distant and places his duty to Riverclan before many things. All this combines into him being rather poor at creating strong relationships with others, but when those bonds are forced he will see those cats as family, often subconsciously assigning them family roles - such as thinking of one cat as a sister, another as an uncle - even if they aren't blood-related.
He is very loyal to his clan but also to other cats - the closer with them he is, the stronger his loyalty. It is extremely rare, but still possible for it to surpass his loyalty to Riverclan, but he will still place the wellbeing of his home over a single cat. He also holds on to his word, and will never go back on a promise he swore on, but doesn't give them out easily, and will not unless he believes he could follow through with it.
He is someone who is quick to judge and give critique, but slow to compliment, but when he praises someone he means it.
Overall, he is quite an exceptional warrior. Hardworking and loyal, often taking up extra missions and going on solo hunting patrols, and checking borders he believed to be left unmarked. He mostly excels in fighting and is working on his hunting skills to improve them.
He is logical, almost to a fault sometimes as he can come off as cold or cynical, and tends to put others' emotions to the side in favor of approaching things from a more rational standpoint.
