kurt cobain ————— ❝ STREET KID RIOT ❞
bony tom with spiky red ticked tabby fur and golden eyes ❥ ҉ ༄ smells woodsy and vaguely herbal. electric spires of wiry orange - russet, all jagged cut ends and sharp edges — sunflowerpaw is the spitting image of his father, thistleback, bathed in swathes of rusted copper. he is long, thin pelted, wispy ends of fire - licked fur inherited from his mother. ends flick up around the thicker parts of his fur, like budding petals but half as pretty. plagued by eternal bedhead, sunny will never look well - kempt, forever as wild on the outside as he is on the inside. at five months old he is already leaning into the average skyclan height, bony limbs and an early growth spurt shaping him to a thin, towering stance. straight, sharp edged, blade - curved ears bring his figure to a jutting point, almost stilt - like to view from the front. a wonky adolescence he will be forever condemned to, never filling out his too - long legs and ears too big for sharp, angular features. eyes of brilliant gold settle deep in their sockets, often heavily lidded, giving him a
sleepy, smug resting expression. when excited his eyes will widen, seeming to stretch just past their limits, over - expressive in intense emotion ever since kithood. he retains the same delicate curve of features as his mother but his father once again shows himself in his bite. long, curving fangs in a long, thin muzzle. they seem to outgrow his maw by just a mite, leaving canines to jut from his lip in a way similar to his mother — an unmistakeable hybrid of his parents, doused in fiery shades and a drape of rust over his knobby spine.
— inherited his dads sharp, bony figure and curved ears, as well as his mothers semi-protruding fangs and wispy fur.

— positive: athletic, humorous, eager to please neutral: loud, know - it - all, emotional negative: jealous, volatile, insecure ୨୧ all blown raspberries and obnoxious grins, sunflowerpaw has been aptly described as a problem child by skyclan’s elders. as wild as his jutting wisps of a coat, electric as the vibrant russet of his features. a tom with poor volume and impulse control, born of a boisterous, unpredictable nature. despite often being labeled a bad influence, he is rarely seen without a smile, over - affectionate and touchy with friends, family and strangers alike. known for his easy teasing and adrenaline - seeking nature, sunny will make friends in a blink.. but will tend to lose them just as quick. sunflowerpaw, since kithood, has exhibited far less than ideal traits : a tendency to play fight with claws unsheathed, frequent lying, stealing, and an explosive, hair - trigger temper. son of lead warrior and former deputy, a loving, happy family.. sunny has grown up with an incessant feeling of entitlement. ‘ no ‘ is a word he’ll meet with abject horror, not getting his way will be the end of the world. ever prone to temper tantrums big enough to shake even the deepest sleepers wide awake.
— unspecified personality disorder, volatile temperament & behaviorial issues, known as a brat with a tendency to resort to violence in early kithood ( biting, using full claws when playing, anger outbursts ).
POTENTIAL PLOTS —
ever since his eyes opened, sunflower has been a pawful for his parents and clanmates, having absolutely abysmal behavioral issues in early development. i noticed there’s a lack of meaner types in skyclan, so i’m presenting.. the problem child.
• he is a bubbly child during kithood, excitable and loud, rambunctious to a fault.. until scorned. a stolen mossball, a bicker over who plays blazestar when pretending clans, sunflowerkit was known to
fully attack other children. unsheathed claws and angry shouting — id like to make this a backwritten plot point, where one of his parents severely punished him for this! he has always borne a bratty attitude, but it is highly amplified by severe, hair - trigger anger issues he will have to learn to control.
• the moment he is able to digest solids, he presented a food aggression that will follow him throughout life.
cannot share freshkill in any situation, will physically lash out if attempted.
• despite being over - eager to please, sunflowerpaw was raised with a competitive edge. while he will get along with fellow apprentices most of the time, he is known to be what he calls
brutally honest. with little to no vocal filter and one hell of a mean streak when upset, he tends to say and do things that ultimately bully his peers with jabs and jokes at their expense.
— if i go this route, i will make a note in his tags that he is not to be caught bullying or being rude to anyone unless agreed upon to avoid it being nipped too quickly, as he is meant to be sneaky. im toying with the idea of rolling for how loud he is to determine if he’s caught, as he struggles with volume control.
• will not trust coyotepaw in any capacity, and will be loud about it. raised to hate windclan with all his might, he is unable to look past the moorland stink he still thinks clings to his brothers pelt. he hasn’t forgiven him for leading windclan into camp and will not let him forget it, ducks around his parents ( specifically thistleback ) when he is acting this way.
