Appearance
Raccoondust is a gray tabby tom with amber eyes. He has a black mask around his eyes.

Kithood
Mask was born outside the Clan alongside his brother Stripes. Why such dumb names? Well, see their parents died so they had to name themselves. So Mask named Stripes after his intricate tabby stripes and Stripes named Mask after the darker fur around his eyes.

They were babies, okay? They didn't have anything better.

Eventually, they were found by some OasisClan cats. That was good, because unlike most of our abandoned/orphaned loner children, Mask and Stripes sucked at hunting.

They settled into OasisClan rather well and were given new names, Raccoonkit and Birchkit. They were okay with this because, again, Mask and Stripes are dumb names.

They were taken in by a queen named Juniperfoot and her mate, Wildspot. Their kits, Flintkit and Hornetkit, got along rather well with Raccoonkit and Birchkit.

When Raccoonkit was four moons old, only two moons after joining the Clan, tragedy struck. Flintkit caught greencough and died. Hornetkit, Raccoonkit, and Birchkit were very upset about the loss of their brother and tried to draw closer to each other afterward.

Apprenticeship
Raccoonpaw was apprenticed to Shadowbird, a she-cat who rarely left the nursery, but had taken interest in the young tom and his brother. Since she didn't have any kits at the time, Stemstar let her train him. Birchpaw got her mate Sandycloud for his mentor. Hornetkit was a moon younger than them, so he remained in the nursery with Juniperfoot.

Birchpaw was literally the greatest. He was cool, easy-going, friendly... Raccoonpaw loved his brother dearly and wished he could be like him. Though he was quieter than Birchpaw, he was never alone. Birchpaw made sure that Raccoonpaw was always included.

About a moon later, Hornetpaw was made an apprentice. He got along well with his mentor, Specklepelt, and the three young cats were always convincing their mentors that training with their brothers was a good idea.

The moon Hornetpaw joined them in the apprentice den was also the first moon they got to attend the Gathering. Raccoonpaw, for the first time ever, was separated from Birchpaw. Birchpaw had gotten swept up by the popular apprentices from the other Clans, leaving Raccoonpaw and Hornetpaw mostly on their own. And that's when they met Bowerpaw.

Bowerpaw was a pretty OrchidClan apprentice. Her father, Stonebolt, was rather strict and overprotective, leading to Bowerpaw doing everything she could to test her limits.

Raccoonpaw spent the whole rest of the night trying to work up the nerve to talk to her. Hornetpaw, noticing his friend's distress, took it upon himself to introduce the two.

Trivia

 * First time I've designed someone named 'Raccoon' where they don't look exactly like a raccoon.
