Appearance
Frostroot was a tall white tom with dark gray and black tabby patches and sharp, bright green eyes. He had a jagged notch in one ear-tip and a thin, pale scar stretching sideways across one side of his muzzle.

Personality
Frostroot was... kind of a jerk. He was cocky and bitter, easily angered, and he was known to hold grudges for a long time. That being said, he cared deeply for his family and was more loyal and steadfast than anything, and would sacrifice himself in a heartbeat for anything or anyone he deemed worth the risk.

Story
-

Frostkit, Snowkit, and Lilykit were born in OasisClan. They existed. Good for them. Soon after they became apprentices, their parents died. This lil ex-loner named Fledgepaw was crushing really hard on Frostpaw, but he ignored her. He also really didn't get along with another apprentice named Blackpaw, even though Snowpaw seemed to be friends with him. Anyways, he and his siblings were pretty unhappy in OasisClan without their parents, so they moved to HorizonClan instead. Once there, Frostpaw sort of became friends with a slightly older apprentice named Aspenpaw who had also suffered through some losses. He was able to help Aspenpaw come out of his shell a bit. All was well. He also kind of befriended Darksplash, a young warrior, and Aspenpaw's brother, Stonepaw. Frostpaw got into a fight with a loner on HorizonClan's outer border once, earning him the ripped ear and the scar on his muzzle. He wore the marks with pride, though, pleased that he had something to show for his valor.

He became a warrior with the name of Frostroot alongside Snowbreeze and Lilyspring. Unfortunately for him, Snowbreeze had become mates with Blackbite back in OasisClan. Frostroot still kind of hated Blackbite, and tried to discourage Snowbreeze from moving back with him, but she didn't listen to him and returned to their Clan of birth anyways. Frostroot was pretty upset about that, because Snowbreeze had pretty much been his best friend. Read: only friend, because he was getting sort of tense with Aspensting, and Darksplash had moved to MarshClan. So Frostroot became a bit overprotective of Lilyspring, and when it became clear that she and Aspensting were soon to become mates, he was furious - at her for ruining the comfortable little friendship they had, and at Aspensting for having the nerve to fall for his sister. He got into a lot of fights with them - well, mainly Lilyspring - until he finally just gave up and joined Snowbreeze back in OasisClan. She was already expecting Blackbite's kits, and she was angry at Frostroot, accusing him of being selfish and possessive. He was very upset about the whole situation, and at this rate, the only cat in the whole Clan who seemed to not hate him was Fledgeflutter. She kind of pressured him into becoming her mate, and he eventually agreed to have kits with her just because she wanted kits - but he had no real wish to be a father. She had a tom and a little she-cat, whom she named Fennelkit and Stemkit. Frostroot didn't pay much attention to his kits or to his mate, and became even more of a reclusive loner than he already was. He became withdrawn and cold, and barely got along with anybody anymore. He pretty much ignored his kits' attempts at getting his affection.

A severe greencough epidemic soon struck, however. Snowbreeze and Blackbite were both killed, and Frostroot received word that Lilyspring had died as well. He was pretty devastated, especially when his daughter, Stempaw, also developed the sickness. He was getting pretty worried about her, and it became pretty obvious early on that she wasn't going to get better. So he visited her in the medicine den just to get his crap together and tell her that he did indeed love her. Unfortunately, though, he caught her greencough during that one visit. She died, and he was also killed not even a moon later. Bye, Frostroot. You tried, but you still kinda sucked, dude.
