PERSONAL INFORMATION

Positive Personality Traits
- Good Hearted
Long may be an anxious tooth pick, but at heart his intentions are good. He genuinely loves to look after his colony mates and takes great pride in his position as a nurse.
- Loyal
loyal to the bitter end, Long wouldn't dream of betraying or abandoning his colony or his friends. He holds great contempt for those with treasonous paint markings, and will openly give them the stink eye.
- Clever
Long is a very fast learner and a master of getting himself out of a pinch by using his mind. He soaks up knowledge like a sponge, and as a trainee he would take time out of his day to study the history of his colony as well as his regular trainee nurse duties.
Neutral Personality Traits
- Wary
Long is not at all trusting of strangers, especially cats from other colonies. He isn't one to start skirmishes or belittle other cats for being outside of his colony, but he will watch them with a wary eye until he is sure that they can be trusted. But even when they have earned his trust, a part of him is still cautious.
- Hopeless Romantic
Long won't admit this, but he secretly daydreams about falling in love and starting a family with someone special. Problem is, he's pretty darn awkward romance wise.
Negative Personality Traits
- Skittish
easily spooked and jumpy, it doesn't take much but a loud, sudden noise to send Long clamoring up a tree. He HATES surprises with a passion and is self conscious about his skittishness.
- Anxious
Long is the king of worrying about absolutely nothing. He's been known to work himself into such a fit that he'll puke from stress, which is why the older nurses insisted on him taking herbs to calm his boney ass down.
- Hot Tempered
pumped full of angst and testosterone, Long is just as prone to bouts of ill temper as much as any young tom. Violence isn't his thing but his words can cut just as sharp as claws if you really get him going.
HISTORY
__________________________
"and we cannot be defeated..."
Kitten
Long was born to a tom named Claw, a guard of the fires, and Cherry, an herbalist of the lilies. There was a fairly large age difference between the cats (Cherry being a year old and Claw being five) but the two became very fond of each other nonetheless. Claw requested that the relationship remain secret due to the fire colonies strict rules on relationships with cats outside the fires, so the two became mates in secret. Cherry became pregnant right around them time when hostility broke out between her colony and the fires.
As the time for Cherry's kitting approached she grew quite ill. She knew in her heart that the birth would be too much for her ailing body and she told Claw that she wanted him to raise their kittens when she passed. Claw refused to accept just how sick Cherry was, and kept insisting that she would be just fine. But alas, just as she'd predicted, Cherry passed away during birth and three kittens out of her litter of four came with her. Claw was distraught, but his son was born small and sickly and needed a queen to nurse him if he was to survive. Not even having the time to bury his mate, he scooped up his only living child and took him back to his colony.
He greatly downplayed the reality of his and Cherry's relationship to avoid punishment, and grieved in silence with only his tiny son to hang on to.
Trainee
Long and his father have always had a strong relationship. Claw was strict with his son, but there was lots of love there, and Long heard much about his mother from the stories his father told him about her. Long was a good trainee even though he'd goof off sometimes. He was inspired to become a nurse after hearing how his mother had passed away from illness because he wanted to help prevent that happening to any of his colony mates.
