Appearance
☆ [ Breed ]: Moggy
☆ [ Description ]:
Nettlesnap is a formidable, large brown tabby with white patches and glaring amber eyes. His thick and fluffy fur is sliced apart in places by different scars, the most of which being prominent on his face. He's unsure of where each scar comes from, but he's particularly embarrassed about his nicked ear, and hates when others point it out. The tom's brown fur has several stripes flowing across it, which are only broken by the white patches that run from his face down to his underbelly. It's easy to tell that he's the brother of EmberClan's leader, but his pelt is much darker and his stripes are less elaborate, giving him a striking appearance. Nettlesnap is rarely happy, and usually wears an anxious or annoyed frown.
☆ [ Height ]: Taller than average, but not unusually tall!
☆ [ Weight ]: Thick and well-muscled.
☆ [ Eyes ]: A harsh amber.
☆ [ Fur ; Length ]: Long and thick, it sticks up in many places and looks spiky and perpetually bristled.
☆ [ Other]: Several scars on his face and body.

Personal
☆ [ Brief Personality ]:
Nettlesnap is a very irritable cat who finds it hard to find his place in the clan. Being a cat who's xenophobic, anxious, and harboring much resentment and anger, he often lashes out and judges far too quickly, making him difficult to befriend or like. Nettlesnap is still very gracious and humble; he recognizes the hard work that his clan-mates accomplish, often thanking them for their work and congratulating them for a job well done. Unlike Tawnystar, Nettlesnap is humble and respects the fact that he's only a step away from his former warrior position-- you best believe that he carries his own weight. The tom cat also has a great sense of duty and responsibility. He may express it in unconventional ways, but EmberClan cats will find that their clan wouldn't be able to run without Nettlesnap's direction, and although many cats distrust him and his sister, they together make a strong team.
“I won't give up.”
+ [ steadfast ]: resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering.
Regardless of most of the Clan's opinion of him, Nettlesnap is a very loyal and determined cat. Rarely does he waver in his loyalty towards his clan; often, warriors will see none other than Nettlesnap himself assisting them with hard labor or grueling patrols. It's clear that the deputy cares deeply for those in his clan, and despite his lingering doubts the tom-cat will always keep a firm and unshakable resolve in the face of danger.
“Look...I get it. You hate me.”
- [ anxious ]: experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness.
Nettlesnap is a very disliked cat for his past, and he knows it. There's hardly a cat in EmberClan who's so hyper aware of others' opinions about them. While the tabby is very firm on his orders, he can't squash a lingering fear that all of EmberClan holds no respect for them-- many times whilst interacting with his Clan, he's often at a loss for words and holds back many of his feelings. This, rather than making him seem more approachable as he hopes, only makes others view him as curt and stoic. Nettlesnap thusly not only finds social interaction very difficult, but he also in some ways fears it; this is especially apparent with kits and large toms. Overall, he's just an awkward bundle of nerves.
“I'll handle it.”
+ [ reliable ]: consistently good in quality or performance; able to be trusted.
While his actions have been dubious in the past, Nettlesnap tries his best to be a good deputy. He puts forth as much, if not twice as much effort into hunting and patrolling as his own clan-mates do, and you would be hard-pressed to find this tom relaxing or blowing off work. Supporting the clan is his top priority. The feline is also very predictable; it's easy to guess how he will react to things.
“You're letting kittypet scum into our camp?!”
- [ xenophobic ]: having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.
Nettlesnap is extremely distrusting of strangers; while he will publicly disown many of Stormstar's beliefs this isn't one of them. He believes that cats who aren't pure-blooded are more prone to betrayal, and he believes that every kittypet is soft and weak. While he recognizes that Stormstar himself allowed rogues and vicious kittypets into EmberClan, he still holds onto his strict belief that outsiders weaken the whole. He's not afraid to voice it, and he's while he's not openly hostile to non clan-born cats, he retains a quiet disapproval of their presence.
“Hey...d-don't cry, it's okay!”
+ [ gentle ]: mild in temperament or behavior; kind or tender.
The deputy may rarely show it, but beneath his rugged and prickly exterior Nettlesnap hides a very warm center. Once he's struck up a bond with a cat, it's easy to see the pride and love in his eyes when he looks upon his Clan. Nettlesnap will own up to his previous mistakes, but there's nothing more important to him than the safety and well-being of the cats that share his home. However, the tom-cat's true nature is easily revealed in the face of kits; put a few children near the prickly burr and he melts faster than sugar!
“I said stop it. Do it again and see what I'll do.”
- [ irascible ]: having or showing a tendency to be easily angered.
In spite of his best efforts to remain composed, Nettlesnap is easily aggravated. It takes very little to irritate him--and while mostly it will only earn you a bark or harsh command to stop, Nettle is no stranger to making verbal or physical threats to those who really upset him. While he rarely follows through on his threats, he's no stranger to scuffles or punishment, and you best believe that he'll find some way to put you in place. With his new position, however, the deputy is making an active attempt to curb his anger.
