DETAILED ► Leopardflight is a jovial, easy-going cat who has rarely displayed aggressive or hostile behavior ever. He likes to keep the peace between cats and Clans, but will never put a stop to an active arguement himself. He tends to avoid confrontation, partly because loud noises such as screaming makes him feel overwhelmed, and partly because he doesn't want to get on anyone's good side. Leopardflight is easily flustered or overwhelmed, and will stutter and trip over his words while fidgeting once he does. He's patient, and tries to be a good clanmate and friend to anyone who needs it. A follower rather than a leader; Leopardflight tries his best to avoid making decisions by himself.

HISTORY
TRIGGER WARNINGS ► Character death
► Leopardkit was born to Gorseflower and Goldenhawk alongside his sisters, Minnowkit and Emberkit. His early life was largely uneventful; he was a happy child, got along with most kits, and was made an apprentice at the age of six moons. His apprenticeship, too, was just about as normal as it could get. He stayed out of trouble, and by luck trouble had stayed away from him. He trained well under Rainydew, and was well on his way to become a warrior alongside his littermates.
That was, until one day when the Camp was attacked by dogs. The fight was brief, with the Clan managing to drive away all 4 attackers, but not before the battle claimed many lifes. Gorseflower, amongst them, was one of the first to die, going down as she fiercely defended the nursery. As a reward for their bravery in the battle, the siblings were named warriors, though none of them were in the mood to celebrate. Emberpaw was named Embergorse in honor of their mother; Leopardpaw, named Leopardflight, after his speed and agility, and Minnowpaw, named Minnowdrift, after her ability to disappear amongst the tall grass of the moor almost completely when hunting.
The following moons were, well... difficult. Leopardflight had been extremely close to his mother, and her death did not go well with him. During this period, one of his clanmates grew closer to him, a kind she-cat by the name of Violetwater who had become a warrior a moon before he did. She consoled him and helped him accept Gorseflower's death, eventually becoming his closest friend. She was kind and patient with him, and seemed to be just as peace-loving as he was.
A couple moons into his warriorhood, he gained his first apprentice, Tulippaw. He enjoyed training her, relishing in the feeling of being responsible for another cat. Funnily enough, it was in training Tulippaw that he realised he not only wanted to one day have a family of his own, but that he would want it to be with Violetwater. He confessed to her after two moons of indecisiveness, blurting out his question before proceeding to run away. Violetwater found him hiding away in a rabbit burrow, where she, laughing as he tried to hide his face, too confessed her feelings.
Since then, Tulippaw has become an apprentice, and life has gone on pleasantly. Leopardflight awaits the day he'll start a family with Violetwater, and though they both have been trying for quite a few moons, they've yet to be successful.
