Tigerstripe

Appearances
Tigerstripe is a brown and white tabby tom with dark black stripes and bright, sharp lime-green eyes. He is tall and lanky with unkempt, spiky fur that sticks up and out in long wisps. His ears are large and pointed, filled with hair, and his nose is orange and heart-shaped on a short, wide muzzle. He has heavy, thick eyebrows and a natural scowl.

Personality
Tigerstripe is a sour and mean ranger with an itch for drama and fighting that can never be truly scratched. His ruthless and reckless attitude can at times border on sadistic. Hawkshell and Leafstorm hoped to give Tigerstripe purpose by having him train a new-claw, but that plan only backfired, as Tigerstripe dished out bitterness and resentment on the young cat he was meant to be teaching.

Many cats in Marsh Colony are frustrated with Tigerstripe's vicious demeanor, but others still want to try and find a way for the young tom to be content. One of these cats is Frostshadow, a kindhearted young she-cat and Tigerstripe's mate. When they're together, Tigerstripe is less antagonistic and rash, and he seems happier overall — but happiness that relies on the presence of another cat is nowhere near a a healthy solution to Tigerstripe's self-destructive nature.

Frostshadow
Frostshadow, an empathetic and caring young molly, is Tigerstripe’s mate. She is much younger than he is and waited patiently until she was a ranger to become his mate; they had been close even before then. She is the ice to his fire and the only cat who seems to be able to get through to him and calm him down when he’s in a rage. She genuinely cares about him, and he truly loves her in return, and is only really happy when he is with her.

Becoming too dependent on Frostshadow is definitely a problem that Tigerstripe faces, but he tries to avoid it. He doesn’t want to associate any problems with Frostshadow. She’s supposed to make his problems go away. They have a positive and loving relationship, and Frostshadow hopes to have Tigerstripe’s kittens sometime in the near future.

Wildfur
Wildfur was formerly Tigerstripe’s new-claw, and the two have a less than negative relationship. Tigerstripe and Wild were horrible to each other. Tigerstripe felt insulted that he got left to deal with a soft-hearted, useless new-claw, and Wild was furious that yet again Marsh Colony had abandoned him to the most convenient option available. They each took out their anger on one another, and on particularly bad days, their relationship verged on being downright abusive. Wild learned nothing from Tigerstripe and Tigerstripe gained nothing from Wild.

As a warrior, Wildfur avoids most of his peers, but Tigerstripe and his friends even more so. Wildfur has learned how to suppress his angry, bitter side from his new-claw days, but just looking at Tigerstripe now makes him sick to his stomach. Tigerstripe, also finding those times to be full of terrible memories, does his best to ignore Wildfur and rarely even acknowledges his existence.
