Nutpaw

Story
Both of Nutpaw's parents were killed in battle a few weeks after he was made an apprentice, forcing him to grow up faster. Both his mother and father were very respected in the clan because of their loyalty and friendliness. Part of the reason for him always trying to be friendly is to honor his parents memory, which was an agreement that he and Slatepaw made.

Personality
Nutpaw is a natural leader and is very smart. He does his best to keep himself and Slatepaw out of danger, especially after their parents' death. He sees things for what they are, a realist. He's very protective of Slatepaw, and takes on the role of "older brother" even though they're from the same litter. Nutpaw is also usually calm and collected during times of distress, calculating what every actions' effect will be. He is good at encouraging others, because he is observant and figures out their strengths and weaknesses. The only time he is oblivious might be if a she-cat was crushing on him. He has a hard time letting people in, because of his past. Nutpaw has a few close friends, but other than that is mainly just friendly with everyone because he believes in the closeness of clanmates. He is very responsible and will often take the blame if one of his friends gets in trouble (though they only punish him minimally because they know it wasn't really him). He has the makings of a great warrior and could possibly even have the potential of a leader. He often doesn't realize how good he is at things and how easily they come to him.

Goals
Become a respected warrior,  maybe  with a mate.

Other
Nutpaw knows about Slatepaw and Rowanheart's moonlight meetings. He doesn't approve, but was forced not to tell anyone by Slatepaw. He tries to talk her out of it every time, but knows it will likely never do any good. (For anyone that has read Throne of Glass, think of Aedion.)
