Personality
[Anxious l Gentle l Guileless l Idiosyncratic l Inattentive l Magnanimous l Physisaphile l Quirky l Weak-kneed]

Gentle mild in temperament or behavior; kind or tender
    It takes a lot to ruffle Shrikekit's 'feathers', the tom is mild-mannered and fairly hard to anger. There are things that tend to be triggers for him though, such as mentioning his affinity for symmetry or his strange affinity/fear of bugs. If they are brought up he will go into his shell or become defensive if it is continually talked about. As he gets older he will maintain his docile behavior but become less defensive over his phobias.

Magnanimous very generous or forgiving, especially toward a rival or someone less powerful than oneself
    Due to his fear of disappointing those important to him Shrikekit always tries his hardest to get nice things for his family. Sometimes he'll bring back pretty flowers for his mother, or a large feather for his father. He wants so badly to impress them and make them happy with him. The last thing Shrikekit wants is to be a burden on those around him.

Physisaphile greek for one who loves plants and animals
    Shrikekit has always been drawn to other living creatures and plants, sometimes collecting them to keep in a personal collection under his nest. Mostly his collection consists of feathers, flowers, fur, and any insect that he could force himself to carry back. Beetles and butterflies are his absolute favorites, especially the really colorful ones. His phobia gets in the way of his collection, but with time this fear will fade as he forces himself to deal with it. 

Guileless devoid of guile; innocent and without deception
    The small tom does not see a point in acting maliciously or with ill-intent, he does not want to hurt others if possible. This innocence makes him a bit transparent and easy to read, which can cause him to be on alert with displaying his phobias actively. Shrikekit is a bit blunt, except when covering up for his phobias. Then he stutters and tries desperately to find a good cover up for his strange behaviors.

Idiosyncratic peculiar or individual
    Different is a good way to describe Shrikekit, he has strange habits and behaviors that most of the time seem normal to him. Collecting bugs and other organisms is normal to the small tom, but others tend to view him as a peculiar kit. Shrikekit will never outgrow his strange behavior completely, they will become a bit less prominent, but will always be there under the surface. Despite his many strange quirks he is a kind-hearted tom.

Quirky characterized by peculiar or unexpected traits
    Shrikekit as stated previously is a very strange tom and has many quirks about him that make him stand out against the rest. His strangest traits are his love for bugs, but fear of them due to the itchy sensation they give. His other strange trait is his fear of asymmetry, whether it is in bugs wings, numbers of things present on both sides of something, unequal markings on both sides of pelts, and many others things. It drives him crazy, but he tries to control it.

Anxious experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome
    The kit tends to worry far too much about things, usually very trivial matters. He worries about whether there will be enough prey in the fresh-kill pile to feed everyone. He also fears that things won't be symmetrical or that he will find bugs but will be too scared to touch them. With age this anxiety will not recede much, but will not grow stronger about trivial things.

Inattentive failing to attend to the comfort or wishes of others
    Unintentionally, Shrikekit can be a bit oblivious to others emotional needs and wants. He does not mean to be insensitive to those around him, but he truly is wrapped up in his own thoughts too often when others need him. As he ages he will get better about tending to the needs of others but in his younger years he will be emotionally inept when it comes to dealing with others issues.

Weak-kneed yielding readily to opposition, pressure, intimidation, etc.
    Shrikekit is easily influenced when it comes to what others want him to do, this is because of his fear of disappointing others. Larger/older toms are his weakness when it comes to buckling under pressure, he can't stand up to them and follow what he knows is right if others are telling him otherwise. As he gets older this will become much less of an issue for him, only those he respects will be able to make him do what he does not want to.

History
Before Birth
    Whispercry and Falconblaze were brought together through tragedy, the loss of many loved ones, and found that there were mutual feelings between them. The pair decided to keep things a secret and move slowly with their romance, each of them recovering from having lost those they love and still feeling the residual wariness of loss. With time though the two warriors decided to make things official and started a family with each other. Them both having been through much together were now moving on to a new stage in life.
 
Kithood
    Shrikekit was born to Whispercry and Falconblaze, the small tom was one of six. He had three sisters and two brothers, which could be troublesome for the small tom when it comes to receiving attention. It would be hard for any two warriors to be able to take care of six kits, let alone new parents. Shrikekit didn't mind being one of so many at first, all his siblings were also possible protectors for the meek tom. He would need as much assistance as he can get from his peers and family. Shrikekit is very wary of the new world and sticks close to his mother's side, which causes him to pick up on her habits and even her smell rubs off on him.

Extra Information

Shrikekit loves bugs....but has Acarophobia, which is the fear of itching or of the insects that cause itching. It is a constant struggle for him to juggle this obsession and fear. He will pick up bugs and immediately feel extremely itchy and begin to panic. Most of the time he just sits and stares at them, longingly reaching to touch them. The small kit doesn't understand why he is like this and it drives him absolutely crazy. 

Another very strange phobia of Shrikekit's is Asymmetriphobia, which is the fear of asymmetrical things. It really is something that makes Shrikekit as quirky as he is, the tom cannot stand to look at things that are not symmetrical. Especially in bugs, if they are not perfectly alike on both sides he becomes very anxious and feels as though that creature is wrong. He doesn't let others know that he doesn't like all asymmetrical things, if someone's marking aren't symmetrical he will contain his anxiety over fear of upsetting them. 

The last of Shrikekit's phobias is Catagelophobia, which is the fear of being ridiculed. This ties in with his other fears, he knows how strange his phobias are and tries desperately to keep them a secret. If anyone were to find out about his fears and how strange they are he thinks that others would think of him as a crazy person. The thought of others hating him makes him feel physically ill and anxious, which during his young life he will struggle with immensely.

Roleplay Sample

 Emberstar watched as Yellowlilly tried to stop the fight, but nothing was affecting Threadstar's lust for blood. "Please Yellowlilly, you'll only get hurt!" Suddenly Threadstar turned and slashed frightfully at the Willowclan medicine cat "I will make you feel the same pain that you put me through!" "Get off!" Emberstar ripped Threadstar off her friend and slapped her in the face really hard multiple times. Once the Stoneclan leader was back she grabbed Yellowlilly and carried her off to the side, "It'll be ok. I'm here with you." Suddenly pain seared across the white leader's back, Threadstar was raking her claws down her back. Emberstar slashed at Threadstar, she was beginning to panic. Finally she realized that she needed to end this, "I'm not afraid to kill you." She threw herself at Threadstar but suddenly blood burst from the mottled she-cat's throat. The light began to fade from Emberstar's eyes as she hit the ground, her body thumping painfully. Threadstar had slit her throat with her claws, a dirty move. Starry figures gathered around her as her soul separated from her mangled body, her loved ones were gathered around her. Lunajump, Voicestar, Wintercall, Littlesun, Mudkit, Spiderstar, Moonglance, Ravenpaw and her sibling Barkkit. All of these cats were late loved ones, tears formed in her eyes as they touched noses to her and whispered words of love and strength. 
   As Emberstar's body hit the ground Sweetsoul screamed and ran at Threadstar only to be pulled back by other warriors. The she-cat was pregnant and couldn't risk losing the kits, the clan needed them. An outrage burst from the clans, especially from Willowclan.
