Personality:
There may not be another tom in the forest as keen yet oblivious as Kestrelflight. A quiet warrior, he goes about his day with a deadpanned look, but bright eyes to contrast. Seemingly unapproachable, the brown-coated tom bears a stoic expression and a bite to his bark, but he's humbled by his experiences. He can appear strict at time, especially when keeping younger cats in line, but he melts into a proper goofball around his family.
He has a big heart, and is compassionate towards his Clanmates... only, expression does not come as easily to him as it does for some. He wishes he could better communicate himself without clamming up, but it's one of the vices he must deal with on a daily basis. At least his temper has settled in the last few seasons.
History:
Kestrelflight was the result of an affair between two cats who should have never felt the way they did.
For as impossible as their love was, they were adamant to make it work without their Clanmates finding out.
A ShadowClan she-cat and a RiverClan tom, who lived on opposite sides of the territory, met at Gatherings and decided to meet again in secret. They used tunnels as their meeting grounds, and met once or twice every month before the moon was full.
It was scary when the she-cat became pregnant. The moment she could feel the kicking in her belly, she bitterly starting toying around with a tom in her Clan who had admired her since they were apprentices so that her pregnancy wouldn't be such a mystery.
When Kestrelkit and his sister were born, there were only congratulations and no questions. For that, his mother was thankful.
Appledrift named her kits accordingly, begrudgingly with the contribution of her ShadowClan mate. Kestrelkit was given his prefix by Appledrift, for the strong prey-birds that crossed Clan borders into ShadowClan sometimes.
The situation now with her kits made the she-cat reflect on her relationship with the RiverClan tom and what it meant for her Clan and new family. She broke it off with him, much to his chagrin, the next time they met.
As Kestrelpaw grew up, he knew his "step"-dad as his real dad, with no idea that his biological father was off in RiverClan, itching to see him. Kestrel was much more swift-pawed and sleek than most of the other, stocky ShadowClan cats, but his mother blamed it on his diet. He thought nothing of his heritage, and saw no reason to doubt it.
He could navigate the marsh faster than most of his large-pawed Clanmates, and became known in the Clan for his nimble stalking. Kestrelpaw loved to show it off by racing his denmates through the murkiest parts of their territory.
The smokey tom began to resent the spotlight, however, after noticing trouble between his "father" and his mother. As Appledrift had taken him as a mate only to sway the Clan of any suspicion regarding her pregnancy, she had never truly loved him. His step-dad, however, had been head over heels for her since apprenticeship, and only during Kestrelpaw's time training did Frogfoot begin to notice the stony way in which his mate treated him.
It started with the occasional argument, which Kestrelpaw would avoid with burning ears. It escalated moons later into full blown yelling, to the point where the leader had to intervene. Then, as a silence grew between them, the young tom began to miss their yelling. Instead, the two warriors began to completely ignore each other, unintentionally also turning their attention away from Kestrelpaw they were so heated with each other.
Kestrelpaw quieted down during the entire ordeal, to the point where he barely spoke anymore. This bled into his time as a warrior, where he spoke only when spoken to. He never argued with an order, and spent most of his alone time hunting, if not with his sister. When given his name, he received the suffix "flight" for his agility, and the quickness in which he completed his tasks.
