Overall: Power comes to mind when you are faced with the broad, muscle-ridden figure of Russetclaw. He has powerful shoulders and wide paws, and is built for prowling through the depths of the forest. He is both wide and tall, and his massive limbs provide for a strength that is not easy to come by. A scar carves its way down his left shoulter, a reminder of a previous battle which he prides himself on. Fiery hued fur covers him, it is rather coarse and lack-luster but it suits the stocky tom well. Aqua eyes set apart him from the shadows, but they are the key to detecting the prey amongst the dark shadows.

Other: On the surface, Russetclaw is the idea clan cat. He is devoted and deeply attached to his clanmates, and would risk his life to protect them. He is an intelligent cat with a bold streak that leaps into action when he feels himself or his clanmates are being threatened. The young tom performs his responsibilities above and beyond and is always available to take on the extra things that need to get done. He is social and adept in many matters relating to connecting with his clanmates. Russetclaw is an ambitious cat who later in life seeks to climb the ladder to a higher standpoint amongst his clan. However, he harnesses a quiet evil within him; one ruled by jealousy, secrets, grudges, mistrust, mischief, and other dark qualities.
Russetclaw has a quick temper and will not think twice about jumping to physical measures, as he fully understands that he is a capable fighter in comparison to some of his clanmates. The tom strives for excellence both in himself and his clan; therefore, he is often times harsh to those who do not meet his standards. Russetclaw is the near perfect cat on the surface, but even his clanmates have seen the brutal cat that lies underneath the seemingly unscathed surface.

History:
Kithood
Russetkit was the second born in a litter of three, the only tom in that litter. The three kits were trouble from the moment of their birth, and often times they explored the forest much to the dismay of their clanmates. The kits practiced the abilities they had been given by StarClan, and soon they began to decipher the meanings of the orange and yellow spots of light seen during the night.
Apprenticeship
The much awaited day finally arrived when Russetpaw’s apprenticeship ceremony was held, and the proud tom leapt to his leader and new mentor’s side. His mentor was a slinky, grey she-cat by the name of Greymist. His mentor was a wicked creature and perhaps held the greatest influence onto what Russetpaw turned into. Greymist instilled the idea of BrushClan being supreme to all other clans in his mind. She also instilled an almost invincible regards to Russetpaw in him, always praising the tom and stating that he was unstoppable and he would make all other warriors cower in fear at him.
The battle techniques and practices were tried and tried again until Greymist believed her apprentice had perfected them, and he nearly had at times. Russetpaw grew to surpass his mentor in size and weight early on, and the formidable apprentice was generally admired for his devotion to his training. Greymist, a number of other warriors, and him went on a patrol one day; where he developed his hatred for other clans. A verbal assault ensued, and Russetpaw leapt to the defense of his mentor and clanmates. The other patrol left the minor skirmish with slightly wounded egos, and Russetpaw with a pompous attitude to large for him to carry well.
When GrassClan and BrushClan went into battle, Russetpaw and many of his clanmates bore a brutal loss. However, Russetpaw was fighting until the very last moment. The wounds he inflicted upon the other apprentices were clear reminders of what the blood-red apprentice was capable of. He received a gash upon his shoulder but he took it as a reminder of the flurry of action and excitement he had played a role in. Thus, at the battle he discovered his lust for frays and conflicts. Russetpaw arrived back at camp to the unfortunate sight of his mentor’s dead body, Greymist was no more. The young tom truthfully mourned for the loss of his mentor, and it instilled a further hatred for other clans.
Shortly after the battle he was made a warrior, as Greymist had already expressed her wish for such to the leader. He was named Russetclaw for his able battling, and the clan celebrated the initiation of new warriors after the battle, a positive thing amongst the negativity of the battle.
Warriorhood
Only a few moons in to his being made a warrior, Nighteyes’s secret was revealed. Russetclaw was outraged and he and another warrior, to whom he remains close to, chased the she-cat from the camp. Russetclaw’s mistrust for most cats was developed through the betrayal he felt from the dark cat.
Deputy-Ship
With the discovery of the fox dens in the territory, BrushClan needed a deputy to help keep the clan in organized chaos. Russetclaw, the excelling and dedicated warrior, seemed the obvious choice. So, just two short moons ago, he was appointed to this position and has since stepped up his game in bounds and leaps. The sorrel warrior is dedicated to being the very best deputy that these clans have ever seen, although something dark and twisted seems to lurk under the surface.
