Personality
Positive
Caring
"Don't worry little one, if your kin can't play I'll be happy to throw you moss."
Silverstrike takes his job very seriously. He adores kits and parents who stay by their kits to watch them grow up. He expresses this compassion to only his few selected, and never to the rest of the clan. Warriors who have been taken care by Silverstrike tell legends of what Silverstrike would wear big grins on his face, a smile that's long gone.
Courageous
"I don't care! My duty is to protect them, regardless if I die are not!"
He places his clan mates over his own life again and again. He places others over himself as he wants to protect his clan mates.
Dedicated
"I don't have time for crazy politics, I have a job to worry about."
Silverstrike takes his career seriously, as he worries about little else. He doesn't care about the other clans and the petty fights and scrambles, he only cares if it will effect his job and the kits that he looks after. otherwise, he is mostly seen doing his job watching over others, and rarely has time for anything else. During leafbare he'll be the first without a meal so everyone's fed, and in greenleaf he'll be the first without water.
Protective
"Don't come any closer!"
He is very protective. If anyone threatens the life of his clan mates, he'll automatically go on the defense. Birds of prey or other cats, he'll put his body in front of the enemy so others won't harm his clan mates.
Neutral
Proud
"The work of a Caretaker is never done."
He values the job of a caretaker very deeply. When he was younger he thought he was going to become a warrior, but now he takes pride in his work. He doesn't find gory in battle, but he values the chance to see the kits he raise turn into warriors who are dedicated to the clan.
Private
"What do you want from me, my life story?"
Not a lot is known from Silverstrike's back story. He doesn't talk about his life, or if he has kin, or the origins of his scars. He'll just dodge around the question or get hostile. He's a very closed cat, and few cats know about his past.
Stern
"What did I say about doing that?"
Though Silverstrike can be a caring caretaker, he often sets his foot down when it comes to rules. Few cats will argue with him, but Silverstrike will argue if he needs to.
Negative
Blunt
"Act your act together!"
Silverstrike doesn't have a way with words. He will say what's on his mind, regardless if it hurts someone's feeling or not.
Spiteful
"I did this because no one did it for me!"
Silverstrike, still bitter about his past, bases his decisions on spite.
Hostile
"What are you looking at? If you have time to stare, then you have time to work!"
Silverstrike is a guarded individual. He's not very friendly to cats around his age, and others outside his clan especially. He gets angry if someone outside tries to start something with him, and he's not shy of saying something.
Cautious
"I don't trust them. If they want to do something then I'll deal with them. "
Silverstrike is wary when he hears something involving his clan. If cats around the territory do something funny, he'll likely chase them off. He's judgmental about rouges or loners in his clan, and will keep an eye on fresh recruits.
History
Silverstrike was born to a proud queen. Honeypetal bragged about her kits, but rarely interacted with them. She would tell them to go play with the other kits, or ask the caretakers to tell them a story. Silverstrike grew envious, seeing how other kits' mothers would behave with them, nd the caretakers would only care for them if they were hungry. Silverstrike never felt that bond between parent and child. His siblings agreed, and they finally decided, after Waspkit had gotten a thorn in his paw and his mother just waved him off, to run away.
They had been 5 moons when they left the clan, no one noticing that they were gone. He had barely made it to the edge of the clan when they encountered a badger. The small kits thought they could take it on, but the badger slaughtered his siblings while Silverstrike lie in a pool of blood. His face felt numb as his vision blurred, the last thing he saw was the bodies of his siblings.
When he woke up, he was in the medicine cat's den. The medicine cat told him he had received a large scar on his face, and that his siblings were dead. Silverstrike couldn't believe it. He was alone, his siblings were dead, and his mother was no where in site. He swore never to speak to her again, and shun all the caretakers. He blamed them for what happened as well, and vowed never to let a kit get hurt emotionally or physically as long as he lived. He would become a caretaker, but only for spite.
His apprenticeship was dreadful for him. He had to interact with the caretakers who let him get hurt, and he reminded them of that for as long as he was an apprentice. He limited interaction with his mother, now that she wasn't a queen anymore. He proved to be strong, which lead to him being named Silverstrike for his skill in fighting.
Moons after he was made warrior, Silverstrike heard news of Honeypetal expecting kits. He had never seen her around any toms, so he figured it was probably a loner or rouge who was the father. Nevertheless, he was furious. Silverstrike glared as she bragged about her upcoming litter. When they finally came, Honeypetal did the unthinkable and named the two kits after his siblings, Waspkit and Brookkit. Silverstrike was enraged, she had replaced her two dead kits, the ones she willingly ignored. Silverstrike wouldn't let history repeat itself.
One day, he asked Honeypetal out on a stroll. A bit surprised, but thinking nothing of it, she joined him. They were down in the deep part of the river when he requested if they could fish. She agreed, and got ready to fish, when suddenly Silverstrike forced her underwater. Silverstrike felt his stomach weaken as she kicked and clawed at the stone underneath her, trying to get up from the water. But Silverstrike forced her head under, letting the thoughts of his dead siblings fuel him on. Eventually, she stopped kicking, and the bubbles stopped rising as he let go, looking at his deceased mother. Silverstrike felt sick, it was the first time he killed, and it was his mother. He vomited, and tears spilled from his eyes, but in the end he convinced himself it was the right thing to do. He didn't want her to poison his kin again. He dragged her body home and told his clan that they were fishing and that she got caught in a current and drowned, and that was the end of it.
Silverstrike took over caring for his siblings, and he raised them the way he only wished with Honeypetal. He listened to their troubles, he played with them, he told them stories. He was delighted when he heard that both wanted to become caretakers after him. He watched them grow with pride, and finally he realized there was more to life then spite and vengeance. His siblings and kits made him realize that as he took pride in his work.

ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE
Hawkpath said it sounded like an interesting game, and Fawnheart gave a chuckle, "Yeah, but now that I'm older it was really dangerous for kits playing it. Our mom would get pretty mad about it. She would always scold us if she caught us playing it, and after Sapphire fell in the rubbish she scolded us for days." As Hawkpath continued on, he heard her purr, and started to wonder if she felt comfortable with him telling her about his family. Especially since she lost her family so young, something he couldn't possibly relate to, among many other things.
She was born in a harsh environment where only her clan were her protection against nature. The clans had to hunt for food, go days without it, and fend off not only a clan but diseases as well. Meanwhile, Fawnheart and his family were basically fed by the twolegs, guaranteed the food from the Sun-drown-place no matter what season, and the abandon buildings provided shelter for them. If cats got seriously sick they would just go to a twoleg and wait for it to take pity on them and take them to make them better. Twolegs loved the cats in the west, therefore they would do anything for the cats. Here the cats needed to depend on each other and that was something he always admired. He realized that was probably why he faced the prejudice he did, and really he couldn't complain, because the problems that he had before paled in comparison in what they had to deal with since birth. He was lucky that they took him in at all.
