He tries his hardest to maintain a glass-half-full mentality and foster strong clan relationships. As a kitten, he had fewer worries despite the dire circumstances even then. Kindness, endurance, and playfulness were the main descriptors of his personality in kithood. Currently, as an apprentice, he is still rather cheery.

[ KITHOOD ] Red (Redheart) comes from two young adult kitty pets who were not prepared for children. His father is a Somali, and his mother a Maine Coon. As a result, Red is a mutt, with long-furred red ticked tabby coat and green eyes. Their father, Major, insisted that his mother, Bee, hide the fact that Red was his son because he was a 'renowned' show cat meant only to pass on his best genes to another Somali show cat. They had also neglected to mention that there was another she-cat in his life prior to Bee. He didn't want the scrutiny of others, nor did he want his humans to take his son away, so he visited them in secret. Bee, was even less enthusiastic about Red's arrival. In her eyes, Major was a joke of a tom, and she felt foolish for ever believing they had a chance. She never intended to have kits but handled the birth well despite her reservations. When Red was born in the spring, Bee nestled him close to her belly to nurse and watched in silence. Major didn't make an appearance that night, and Bee never felt more alone. Later that moon, his father returned and explained why he had vanished.
'A cowardly excuse' is all she told him before turning her back on the other cat. Their emotions ranged from anger and rejection to sadness and more. Bee briefly raised Red with bitterness, and he looked like the spitting image of his father, only enraging her more. She often refused to coddle him or play games, nursing only when necessary. Major was concerned with this but was met with fangs and claws anytime he made a fuss. After a short time of raising their child in secrecy, Bee had enough and threatened to expose the truth of their relationship. Discovering Major's had sired yet another litter fueled her decision. In a panic, Major devised a plan to take the child and leave them with two-legs. However, his plans were easily foiled when Bee caught him desperately squeezing under a fence with Red wailing at his jaws. With an eerie calmness, Bee helped him get free and suggested they do something about their 'problem'. That problem was Red, and her suggestion was to abandon him away from two-leg place - that way, they no longer had 'ties' to one another. His mother believed she could move on with her life, and Major could continue being the perfect show cat. Immediately Major was against this notion, but as she continued to circle on how all of their issues could be resolved, he caved under one condition. 'We find Red a new home, far from ours, so that he at least has a chance' After some more stern whispering, the decision was final. They would leave Red at the border of Windclan. Far enough from two-leg place to never be heard of and easily forgotten.
[ APPRENTICESHIP ] The newly named Redkit's early days in Windclan were marked by isolation as he struggled to find acceptance among his Clanmates. Being the only kit in the nursery for two moons left him feeling lonesome. However, he found solace and support in Venomstrike, a moor runner who cared for him and became their mentor. Redpaw's apprentice days had many more challenges. Including witnessing the deaths of his Clanmates from yellowcough, receiving backlash for his 'soft' emotions, and facing scorn for speaking out of turn during an important meeting. These experiences gradually shifted his once-bubbly personality into a milder, more reserved one. Once the kittypet roots of his lineage became more evident, Redpaw grappled with the biases and prejudices of his clanmates. Taking it and morphing their baseless disappointment into lessons to better himself. His loyalty to WindClan was a staple to that, but he couldn't escape the painful reality of his origins.
Shortly after the journeying cats left rogues invaded all the Clan's territories, forcing them to flee to ShadowClan. During the invasion, a rogue severely injured Redpaw, and they forced him to stay with the medicine cats until he healed. This isolation led him to carry out tasks alone, further distancing him from his clanmates. When the four clans united to fight off the rogues, Redpaw earned his first battle scars, marking his transformation from a lost kit to a resilient cat. Eventually, the journeying cats returned with a cure and for a brief while everything felt as it should. In this short window Redpaw had managed to grow closer with their pseudo-father and friend Rumblepaw. This peace was briefly enjoyed as Sootstar and her Loyalists began causing issues internally and externally. So much so that an all out battle raged starting with the attack on Sunstride. Bewildered and furious Redpaw vowed his loyalty to Sunstride and defended him during the fight. Any that defied the Loyalists became the Rebels and said cats were shoved out into the two-leg barn. Redpaw and many others were woefully betrayed by many they cared for. Including his closest friend Rumblepaw newly named Rumblerain. In a foolish series of actions he snuck back to Windclan during a snow storm hoping to bring back his friend. After said attempt failed to convince him to join the Rebels a part of Redpaw seemed to fade away with the storm. While the Rebels plotted out their next moves he stuck close to Rivepaw. Hoping to help his denmate heal and a healthy distraction from the tom's more harrowing thoughts. During this time he grew closer to the headstrong paw' and found a new friendship in the ashes of his former relationship. A series of two more fights took place one at the barn and back in camp this time the Rebels managed to chase out the remaining Loyalists. Many friends, former clanmates, and enemies died in said event.
[ WARRIOR ]After the defeat of Sootstar's remaining followers it seemed peace had finally returned and Windclan was whole again. Redpaw became Redheart under the rightful reign of Sunstar and with the incoming newleaf clan life seemed to explode into bright florets.
