Appearance
Redpaw is a small, skinny white tom with dark ginger blotches. He has a large scar across his face and bite marks on his tail. His eyes are amber.

Personality
He's intelligent, stubborn, and a good planner, although he is also described as being annoying, manipulative, and spoiled. He seems to be impulsive and somewhat selfish, relishing in bringing others down. That being said, he has been through a ton of stuff, so... cut him some slack, maybe?

Kithood
Redkit was born in OrchidClan to a young queen named Shimmerflight and a tom named Flowerstep. He had one littermate- his sister, Snowkit. They got along relatively well. Redkit was coddled by his mother and as a result became rather spoiled and brattish, and was often sent to one corner or another for misbehaving. Shimmerflight was always quick to forgive and forget the offenses, though, and he always got cuddles afterwards. But Flowerstep - Flowerstep didn't like his kits very much. He'd sometimes watch them while Shimmerflight was away, and Redkit wasn't too fond of him, either.

One day, Redkit and Snowkit saw Flowerstep leaving the camp by himself, looking sketchy. So they snuck out after him - and witnessed him killing a cat at the outer border. They were somewhat traumatized, and when Flowerstep caught them, he was furious. He stopped Redkit from fleeing - hence the scars on his tail - and murdered Snowkit right in front of him. He threatened Redkit with the same fate if he were to ever tell anyone. Terrified and devastated, Redkit kept his father's secret - but not for long. He eventually cracked and told Shimmerflight the truth, and she in turn told Leafshine. Flowerstep was exiled, but not before clawing Redkit's face in anger, leaving the second scar.

For the next half-moon or so, Redkit spent most of his time under the care of the medicine cats, Swallowfrost and Yellowpaw. He was bitter and unhappy, and this attitude only worsened when Yellowpaw died of the plague and Shimmerflight was killed by a snake bite. His whole family was then dead, and, at four moons old, he became an angry and awfully disrespectful young tom.

He was taken in by Moonmist, another queen who was already watching over a different parentless kit at the time - Dashkit. Dashkit was younger than Redkit by one moon, and it's safe to assume Redkit hated him. Soon afterwards, Moonmist was given and began raising two more kits - a pair of newborns, Minkkit and Badgerkit. Redkit probably wasn't happy about that, either. He wasn't really happy about anything.

He spent most of his time antagonizing the warriors and kicking rocks and such at anyone he saw. On one occasion, he hit Petalpaw, another adopted kit of Moonmist, with several rocks, and Moonmist came out of the nursery to investigate. She tried to have a talk with him about his behavior, doing her best to be understanding, but it didn't really amount to much. Redkit screamed at her, threw some more rocks, and then ran away.

A bit later, though, he ended up having a talk with a senior warrior named Lichenbolt. Lichenbolt was patient with him, and he might've managed to get through to Redkit a bit. Progress was made, at least. He settled down just a little, therefore saving his apprenticeship from being delayed.

For the rest of his kithood, Redkit still just hung around the nursery, being annoying and angry.

Apprenticeship
Redpaw became an apprentice and was given to Pansymoon to train. He continued being a disaster child and frustrated Pansymoon into actually going to Leafshine and asking if he could be temporarily exiled. Leafshine said no, but still. Good job, Redpaw.

He hasn't done much of anything in particular, though.

Trivia

 * This is the third cat with the prefix "Red-" in OrchidClan right now.
 * Speaking of which! Not to be confused with Redcloud or Redfire. Or less important characters like Redsplash or Redleg.
 * He managed to get Leafshine to compare him to Myrtlepelt. That's impressive. I just feel like pointing that out.
