Rootwhisker

Rootwhisker is the WindClan deputy. He is played by whitebird226, or Quail.

Appearance
Rootwhisker is a large brown tom with green eyes and white stripes on his legs and spots on the rest of his body. He has a scar on his front-right leg and one of his claws is slightly clipped.

Personality
Rootwhisker is very careful, polite and tries to be the best deputy possible. Though he can sometimes be rather misunderstood, he puts feelings above all else.

History
On the same day Rootkit was born to WindClan, Silverkit was born. The two were raised as best friends and were almost never separated. The two's friendship only grew over their apprenticeship. When Rootpaw gained his warrior named, Rootwhisker, Silverpaw gained hers as well: Silverheart.

Only two moons later, Rootwhisker and Silverheart became mates and Silverheart was expecting not long after. When the time came for the kits to be born, there were two. One was a small brown tabby they named Raykit, and the other was practically a clone of Silverheart but with a red slash mark over her neck. They named this one Slashkit, but she died a mere day later.

Once Raykit was old enough to be left alone for short periods of time, Rootwhisker managed to convince Silverheart to go hunting with him for a day. While chasing a rabbit, Rootwhisker was approached by a rogue. He asked her to leave their territory, and when she refused, he called Silverheart and attacked the rogue. He was surprised by how strong the intruder was, and he noticed a pale scar across her throat that instantly reminded him of Slashkit. He was frozen, horrified, for a moment, and in that time the rogue attacked and killed Silverheart with a blow to the neck. The cut ran right where Slashkit's cut mark was.

Rootwhisker managed to drive the rogue off on his own, but he continued blaming himself for Silverheart's death for ages. He insisted that Slashkit's appearance and death were an omen to how Silverheart would go, and how he should have noticed the rogue's scar so her could warn Silverheart to stay back. Thankfully, Raykit, now Raypaw, didn't seem to be too badly hurt by this turn of events.

Facts
-Slashkit's appearance wasn't an actual omen, and neither was the rogue's scar or Silverheart's death. They were all just coincidences.
