Appearance
Coldpaw was always the largest of his siblings, with the thickest and softest fur. His pelt was gray tabby, mottled with markings of lighter gray and white, and his eyes were a warm shade of amber. Like his brothers and sister, he had Grayfur's tufted ears. He was a very tall and slim young tom, although his long-ish fur often made him seem bigger than he really was.

Personality
Coldpaw was the only one of his siblings to inherit Grayfur's personality. He was friendly and perceptive, and was quick to make a joke or lend a helping paw whenever the opportunity arose.

Story
-

Coldkit, Aspenkit, Stonekit, and Crowkit were born to Willowrain and Grayfur in HorizonClan. Coldkit and Aspenkit were pretty much inseparable from the beginning. Coldkit was always trying to encourage Aspenkit to be less shy and more curious about everything around him. They got along great. When Aspenkit was nearly killed in an accident inadvertently caused by Crowkit, Coldkit decided to postpone his own apprenticeship ceremony so he could become an apprentice alongside his brother. Coldpaw and Aspenpaw became apprentices at six and a half moons, and continued to do pretty much everything together. They were about as close as they could get, and Coldpaw was always really helpful to Aspenpaw when it came to... well, anything. Coldpaw's mentor was Sleekfeather, and it was pretty cool. Unfortunately, he and Aspenpaw finished their training at around the same time one day, and Coldpaw decided it would be an excellent idea to climb up one of the mountains on the edge of HorizonClan's territory along with their parents. So he, Aspenpaw, Willowrain, and Grayfur set out. They were having fun at first. They were having a grand old time. But then a rockslide suddenly happened. Coldpaw panicked and froze while the rest of his family leaped out of the way. Grayfur was the first to notice he wasn't with them, and sprang back down in a last-second attempt to save his son - but he was too late, and the rockslide ended up killing them both. Sad.

Anyways, eight bajillion moons later, he gave Aspenstar a life for enthusiasm. As fate would have it, however, Aspenstar doesn't seem to use that gift very much. Way to honor your brother's memory, dude.

Trivia

 * Why was his name Coldpaw? Literally just because I thought it was cute. Don't go yelling at Grayfur and Willowrain.
