|Detailed Description|
The first thing any cat notices about Cougarstrike is his huge paws, which often look out of proportion for his tall figure. Upon closer inspection, however, the tom's paws match his thick-boned legs which only look scrawny from a distance because of his height. His shoulders and hips sit perfectly in line with each other, leading into a thin neck and long body. All of this is topped by a round head with an angular chin and large eyes perched below average ears which sit closely together on his head. Stretched over all of this is a short furred tawny pelt with mid length fur in select few areas. That tawny pelt is ticked with brown and accented with a grey dorsal stripe and light striping on his shoulders and hips.

|Personality|
 [Responsible] 
Having a genuine fear of letting others down feeds into this tom's obsessive need to do everything he's asked, do it right, and the first time. Being responsible is important to this tom who teaches avidly that every cat should thing every choice all the way through to the end. This means that he's always shore of his choices, even if they take time to come to. 

 [Caring] 
Being the loving kind of cat that he is, Cougarstrike becomes a sort of papa bear when his clan-mates don't seem to be feeling well. Need a shoulder to cry on, someone to rant at, or a friend to help when you're sick? Cougar is the cat you want to go to. He's quick to help and insistent that his clan-mates talk to him when something seems wrong.

 [Observant] 
Not much gets past this lean bodied deputy. He's unnervingly good at knowing when something's wrong or someone can't be trusted and, although he will give everyone a chance, is well known for letting others know when he doesn't like or trust them. If you're afraid to ask someone to be your mate, or are uncomfortable going near one of the clan's boarders, he'll know and will do his best to work around your fear or give you advice.

 [Flirtatious] 
The exact opposite of prudish, Cougarstrike is well known for being a player and will regularly tease the she-cats. He's more than happy to bed multiple she-cats, but is always transparent. Mated or not, he makes sure that every she-cat he approaches knows full well that there's not a relationship involved. He only wants to enjoy himself, not hurt anyone.

 [Cocky] 
Cougarstrike may think a little bit too highly of himself. He knows that he thinks every choice through and that has caused him to believe that he's the best cat to ever make decisions. This translates into how he acts around others, sometimes accidentally treating them like they're stupider than they are, than he even thinks they are.

 [Hesitant] 
 Being a cat who needs time to think, Cougar can't make snap decisions and can sometimes take days to come to a final choice. This can often times make him look like a coward and, in some ways, he is. The tawny deputy hates, and fears,  making the wrong choices and letting others down, which is why he is such a hesitant cat.
 
 [Stubborn] 
Stopping what he's doing isn't a thing this tom knows how to do. Multitasking is also not a thing he can handle. Pulling this pretty boy away from his current task is hard to do and he can snap at cats who bug him for frivolous reasons. He doesn't change his mind easily and it takes alot of talking to stop him from acting on his decisions.

 [Blunt] 
Unfortunately, Cougarstrike has no mental filter and his words can be hurtful, but everyone gets the truth no matter what. If he loves what you've done with things, he'll tell you. If he thinks you're making a stupid choice, he'll let you know. This often angers the cats around him, but he doesn't really know how to hold his tongue unfortunately.

___________________||History||__________________

Pre Birth:
Cougarstrike's parents were an interesting pair. Although not uncommon, it was typical either when apprentice and mentor became mates after training ended. Softcall had trained Applepaw despite their clashing personalities as the leader hoped it would calm Applepaw's loud, somewhat aggressive nature. He was right though the cats grew closer and closer together, eventually becoming more than mentor and apprentice with an almost familial bond. As Applepaw grew, so did their relationship and, right after Applepaw was named, they became mates.

Kithood:
Cougarstrike, then cougarkit, was born beside his brother as the pair's first litter. Growing quickly, Cougarkit and his brother were close right from the start as their personalities seemed to blanace the brothers perfectly. As a kit, Cougar was wild and energetic with a boldness that his brother didn't share, often stepping in when other cats seemed to be crowing the other tom. It was clear from the get go that the tawny tabby tom had a natural leadership ability and a strong spirit, so it wasn't surprising that the brothers always stayed close together considering that Cougarkit's brother was less than vocal. The little ginger tom was quiet and reserved, preferring to avoid conflict and follow his brother above being in the spotlight.

Their kithoods were great all the way through. With good parents and a close bond, both toms grew up happy and satisfied as far as Cougarstrike knows.

Apprenticeship:
Apprenticeship was a little bit rough for the brothers since they couldn't spend every waking moment together. It was frustrating for Cougarpaw, who had come to rely on his brother's quiet support as an ego booster, and likely his brother also. Still, they spent as much time as they could together and did what they could to trade training tips and sparring with one another. There were at least two times that the pair got forcefully seperated during a spar, though neither was hurt in any way. From the outside it had looked like a serious fight, but the brothers knew each other well enough that they could push each other's limits without hurting one another.

They were put on extra duties after that, though, which lasted for the entire rest of their apprenticeship. Cougarpaw was happy to do the extra work, stepping up when his brother felt too tired and doing his chores too. When he was about 11 moons old, right before his warrior ceremony, they did a battle assessment where he had to battle a much larger warrior to show his skills. There was one point during the fight where Cougarpaw was trapped and no matter how he moved he wouldn't be able to get away, so the little tom turned as if to run the other direction and used his tail to lash out at the warrior. Not suspecting something like that, the warrior was hit on the nose with the very tip of Cougarpaw's tail and backed up as her nose began to sting. That was Cougarpaw's opening to get away. He dashed around the warrior he had to battle and skid to a hault in front of his mentor. He was made a warrior shortly after.

Warriorhood:. 
The early moons of Cougarstrike's warrior life were uneventful. He and his brother became more independent of each other, though they stayed as close as they could be. It really wasn't until Cougar was somewhere around 29 moons old that things got interesting. His sister was born as his parents' second litter. Considering that they were getting older, Sorrel would be their last kit. Cougarstrike immediately took to her, more than happy to spend time with her as a kit and play around with her when their parents needed a break. Only a few moons in, their parents were killed by a bob-cat in the clans' territories. The brothers stepped up right away, taking an equal part in raising their sister while also keeping up with the duties they were assigned.

Only recently, the current deputy stepped down for her familt and Meadowstar called upon Cougarstrike to take the deputy position.

Deputship :: 
To be fair, Cougarstrike's deputyship lasted about three days and nothing happened. Until he became leader right as the journey began.

Leadership::
Cougarstar's leadership has been fraught with hardship and difficulty. Early in his leadership, as they were crossing a Thunderpath, his sister was mangled by a two-leg-monster. Later on in the journey, his brother chose to stay in the mountains and leave the clans altogether. Many cats died during the long, hard, travel and even more after settling during an illness and other plagues. They went without a medicine cat for a time, and his sister had a kit and then abandoned her for Cougarstar to raise. His moons as leader have not been fun, though there have been many good things to happen.

His loyal deputy, Fernblossom, has become his mate and the two are happy together. She has kept his mind calm and eased his fears when bad things took hold. They found the new stand in for Moonstone, what they now call Moonflower. And has retired back to the life of a warrior so as to have enough time to raise his Niece and perhaps even convince his mate to have a litter of their own.

Senior Warriorship::
TBRP'd

Eldership:
optional until elder rank is earned.
