APPEARANCE

Overall:Otterflight is completely brown, right down to his nose and paw pads. Just like all the other WaveClan cats, Otterflight's fur is short and sleek. Just like an actual otter, his fur sort of shines in the sunlight, especially after he comes out of the water. His fur is thick, protecting him from the cold water in which WaveClan hunts in. His tail is long, wide and rudder-like, just like the rest of WaveClan. He fits right in with them and can easily blend in with a crowd of WaveClan cats. Again, just like the rest of his Clanmates, Otterflight has a large webbed paws. They help him be an excellent swimmer. He's not as clumsy on land as some of his Clanmates but he does prefer the water over dry land any day. His eyes are an average green color. They are pale and rather uninteresting. His face structure is a little odd though, his has a more pronounced muzzle and a rather triangular face.

Other:Otterflight knows when to have fun and when to be serious but overall he would much rather have fun than be serious. He's a clown type tom who likes to make others laugh and smile. He tries his best to make everyone's day if he can. He doesn't let him bad days affect others because he feels that everyone should be happy even if he isn't. He's not too keen on fighting and was always near the bottom of the pile when it came to battle training. He is more of a fleeing cat than a fighter. He's a pretty good listener and is always willing to lend his ears to someone who needs them. Though, Otterflight does assume a lot of things before ever knowing the truth. He's pretty bad for accusing others of stuff but will admit he is wrong when he is. He does snap sometimes at others when frustrated but like what was said before, he tries not to let his bad days affect others. He's pretty hesitant and always thinks things through before doing them. Even if he really wants something he will step back before jumping paws first. Although he is pretty hesitant, Otterflight is clumsy with his words. He will say something but then take it back because he didn't think it fully through. He is an excellent swimmer and is very fast, hence where his suffix came from. He loves to speed around in the water and with the help from his tail and paws he can. This also makes him a swift hunter. He has learned to use his tail in a way that makes him speed ahead or slow down, sort of like a propeller.
HISTORY
Family: Parents; Reedwhisker (father), Sandfur (mother) | Siblings; Piketail (brother), Eelstrike (brother), Carpnose (sister)
History:Reedwhisker and Sandfur became close friends after Sandfur became an apprentice. Reedwhisker was just finishing his apprentice by that time. He had two moons left till he became a full warrior. Even after Reedwhisker was in the warriors' den he always seemed to make time for Sandfur. Others saw it as true love but there was another she-cat who despised Reedwhisker for picking Sandfur over her. It took a toll on Reedwhisker and Sandfur's relationship. The she-cat was mean to Sandfur and eventually Reedwhisker ended the relationship shortly after Sandfur became a warrior. Little did they know though, Sandfur was baring Reedwhisker's kits. It wasn't until Sandfur started gaining weight rapidly and the medicine cat noticed her energy draining really fast did they find out she was baring kits. Reedwhisker was ecstatic along with Sandfur. Although the other she-cat still tried to get between the couple, Reedwhisker finally spoke up and told her she was not the one for him but Sandfur was.
Not long later Sandfur had four healthy kits; three toms and one she-cat. There was Pikekit who was the biggest, Eelkit, Otterkit, and Carpkit. Carpkit was their only daughter and the smallest. They were a pawful right from the start. Pikekit took the leading roll and often pushed his other siblings out of the way to get more milk. Eventually Carpkit developed kitten-cough because of her lack of nutrition and food. Sandfur was running out of milk as well so it was decided that Carpkit would be fed by a different queen who only had two kits to worry about and tons of milk. Carpkit pulled through and became healthier. All four kits got along fairly well with Pikekit leading them on. The three toms never liked their sister tagging along because she was loud and never understood why they never wanted her along. She was left out a lot. Otterkit felt sorry for her a lot and became close to her, letting her follow him around. He eventually stopped listening to Pikekit and they started to not get along. Eelkit fell in the middle and got tugged between his brothers. When they were only four moons old, a battle broke out between WaveClan and GrassClan. The three toms wanted in on the action so Pikekit led them our of the camp and got them lost in WaveClan territory. When the injured cats were on their way back they found the kits crying out. It pushed the siblings back a moon.
When they became apprentices, at 7 moons, all of them drifted apart and went off to do their own thing. But Otterpaw and Pikepaw still didn't get along and Carp-paw and Otterpaw were still close. Eelpaw found his own friends and eventually didn't really bother with his siblings. Otterpaw fell for a sweet she-cat who eventually decided that she wanted someone else. But he was not heartbroken at all. Instead he stayed the she-cat's friend. His apprenticeship went well but he was often told to stop goofing off and work. When he was ten moons old, his brother, Pikepaw, and him got into a little scrap over what turned out to be nothing. Otterpaw had stepped on Pikepaw's tail and accidentally knocked him over only a few moments later during battle training. Pikepaw lashed out with his claws unsheathed, giving Otterpaw a deep cut down his from leg. Pikepaw was ordered to keep away from Otterpaw as Otterpaw was forced to keep away from Pikepaw. Otterpaw's training was set back a few weeks because of the deep wound.
When Otterpaw became Otterflight he was ecstatic. But even though he was a warrior, Otterflight offered to help the current apprentices with their jobs.
RP SAMPLE
Otterflight
Blessed with the ability to swim in the ocean, Otterflight didn't hesitant when heading for the water. The sun was out, warming both the sand and the ocean. Only a few small fluffy white clouds could be seen in the skies. It was a beautiful day and warm too. The fish practically swan into the paws and jaws of the WaveClan cats. A couple cats rested on rocks in the water, soaking up the warm sun before they had to return to camp for any patrols they might be on. But Otterflight had other plans in mind for himself. He padded up into the water, taking a deep breath of the ocean air. He padded up further till his paws could barely touch the bottom then dove down under the water, moving his tail to push him forward. His ability to hold his breath for a long time wasn't as good as it should be but it was enough to able to hunt to his almost full potential.
Otterflight pushed through the top of the water where he took a couple breaths before starting to swim to his usual fishing spot on a flatter rock out in the water. He moved fast and seemed to be enjoying every bit of it. The air was clear and the sound of gulls above meant a decent meal would come out of his hunt. He climbed onto to rock and settled himself down, staring at the ocean with his pale green eyes. His claws were unsheathed and his paws were on the edge. A fish swam by quickly and Otterflight didn't move. He was waiting for the perfect timing as always. His eyes shifted around and before long he had a fish out of the water flopping on the rock. He sunk his teeth into it, ending its life. The first was slightly on the small side but the taste made the tom's stomach growl. "Well, you might not be my meal when I get back but you do taste good." He muttered to himself before tucking the fish under him to avoid letting a gull take it and went back to his perch at the edge of the rock.
