Personality
Around Strangers-
- :new;Attentive-
Kodiak although struggles with trusting others too quickly, or jumping into new situations off the bat has in time come to put himself in a place where he instead will pay close attention to actions and words. He'll still be cautious with new comers, but has learned not to judge too quickly or hide from anything and everything in sight. Of that doesn't limit him from the occasional jump when spooked. - Awkward-
Growing up in Stone, not much attention was ever formed around this wet behind the ears Snowie. Social skills are his strongest, but what words don't do, he makes up for with his kinda gestures and intentions. Lets just say, you may be in for a bumpy ride getting to know this cat. - Kind-
Nothing will stop his guy from offering smiles and kind words. Kodiak will always do his best to show you his best, even if he himself doesn't think too highly of his own. Since first impressions are always a big thing for him, he'll try and return the favor to the best of his ability.
Around Friends and Family-
- Friendly-
Kodiak genuinely is.. well, pretty genuine. When around his friends or cats he'll consider a friend not much strays from his already kind aspect. He'll always find time to wish you his best and make you feel good about yourself. - Realistic-
Whats more to say about this Kodi isn't one to hide his feelings with those he knows cares about him. He won't hesitate to let tears fall, or come to you in a time of need. However thats not to say he wont be respectful of others company and hog up time. The last thing he wants to be is someone who's too dependent on his empiremates. However, without his empires support he's not sure where he'd be. That also mean's he'll tell it how it is. While being honest, he'll voice his opinion on anything he feels strongly against. Of course.. in time. Impulse isn't a trait he wishes to posses. - Curious-
Kodi has literally never not been interested in whats going on around him. He'll as often as he can get out on his own or with a friend if he can manage it, to explore the territory and learn new routes. Although curiosity goes a long way, meaning he'll always be on alert when adventuring. Too many bad things live in his world , and too little careless felines. - Hard Working-
There won't be a day where Kodi doesn't put his A effort into things. Between offhand training to better his skills incase of another attack, to working hard with bettering friendships or his empires health and safety.. It can be seen as a sin or blessing. Getting caught up in the moment of things, this dude tends to lose track of time.
Side Traits-
- Self-conscious
Kodiak, along with his anxiety is very self conscious about himself & doesn't like being alone for long. Clingy is another trait that tags along with this feline.

Background
Kodiak was born up in the mountains somewhere near Ice Empire. it's to be believed his mother was an escapee from the rival territory but it was never confirmed. Although his 2 siblings disappeared with his also irrelevant father, his mother was present for the first 5 months of his young life.
His mother was never the subtle kind type, but overly protective & somewhat cruel- probably a harsh result in the disappearance of her mate & cubs. Kodiak grew to be anxious about what he was doing & cautious of his actions until the day of her void as well. It wasnt long before he stumbled upon a new place. A farm of all sorts, with cattle and a few city felines stationed for protecting. Knowlegde on hunting only got him so far, but here it was plentiful, and by 6 months the snow leopard cub moved in to a quiet place just on the outskirts.
While residing, a small face soon appeared and like that, Kodi and Bailey were best buds, later giving him introduction to a much older felines locked up within the barn. The trio were a close knit secret society. And He was okay with that. Boudica was her name. He hunted for her in the parts of the forest he did reside in, bringing the occasional mouse to the malnourished lioness. With the Hunters on high alert, and Bailey having free reign... he delivered under the radar for Kodi, creating more systems and secrets.
They were all close. Up until the age of 8 months. Bailey went to give Boud her rat, before being found out and murdered on the spot. Kodi, becoming worried by the violent yowls and lack of feedback from his small friend.. hours passed before going to investigate the scene. It was a close call for the young snowie, and when visiting Boudica for the last time, she slipped under the hole in the barn to warn him to leave. Already present fear of the hunters from Boudica's abuse, sky rocketed and after bading his goodbyes, Kodiak at 9 months found and joined Stone.
Kodi met very few felines, Theia being the one to let him in, and Pyre his mentor- showing him responsibility and strength. It wasn't until Seeley came along, that the fretful snow leopard, scarred by his past and the vicious raid, turned his heart and began to grow a bit more out of his comfort zone. 3 years passed, and the once scared cub had grown into a more than capable- very awkward silver. His growing relationship with the Caracal Healer blossomed into more.
He was doing okay.
Bad Habits, Quirks, Fears, and Secrets
Bad Habits
- Pacing-
This trait is pretty self explanatory. When he thinks- he paces in thought
Quirks
- Stuttering
I-I-I.. Oh dang-it.. Kodiak when riled up, can get a pretty nasty stutter. Rather it's in anger, or fear. - TBA-
(TBA)
Fears

Don't corner an innocent tom on the peak of a mountain.. er- or a roof even...
