History
Pre-birth
Both of his parents were respected warriors. Their relationship was vanilla, no internal drama besides a few toms pining after his mother. Grumpykit was born to a litter of two sires. His mother, Heatherfall, had cheated on his father with Rocky, a kittypet, who has a flat face and maine-coon blood.
Kithood
He was Rocky’s kit, while his brother, Mumblekit, was Reedtail’s. Both his parents played favorites with his brother. His mother was ashamed of her adultery, and his father had no attachment to him. He was alone, for most of his kithood, and it didn’t take long for his emotions to fester and bubble inside him. The kit was angry and resentful, and it only made him less attractive to the cats in the clan.
Apprenticeship
Grumpypaw’s apprenticeship was rough and aggressive. He spent the majority of it fighting Fuzzypaw, and getting into useless arguments. His mentor was negligent, but a friend of Fuzzypaw, Privetsnout, took pity on Grumpypaw’s troubles and taught him a few basics. Due to his daily fights with Fuzzypaw, Grumpypaw was a fine warrior who could hold his own. He only grew in size, and even though he was insecure of his face, Grumpypaw accepted his warrior name with pride.
Early Adult
Grumpyface was a young warrior with spirit. He held his head high and mended his relationship with Fuzzypeach, attempting to be friends with the tom, even developing a crush on his old rival. He spent his life an active warrior, building relationships with his clanmates. His time as a young warrior was well spent, and besides the heartache he felt from Fuzzypeach, he did not suffer. Grumpyface even grew to appreciate the tom’s mate, and although he did wish they were something more, he never pursued him. He became a family friend to Finchkit, Fuzzypeach’s kit, and he mourned Kiwipool’s death alongside him. Fuzzypeach went back to being a rude fellow, and the two started fighting again. Not an outgoing tom, Grumpyface didn’t have many friends to turn to, until he met Chasepaw. She had a fiery personality and, perhaps because he missed Fuzzypeach’s spirit, the two became friends. When she became a warrior, it was obvious to Grumpyface his feelings for her. Unfortunately, she had a mate, and they two became distant after he decided to move on.
Mid-adult
Emerging from his depression, he met Fennelpaw, and he became her unofficial mentor. Grumpyface took her under his wing, and in an attempt to become kinder, he started to change his lifestyle. Unfortunately, he had to deal with a yappy Finchpaw as well. However, he was trying to be kind, but the she-cat made it difficult. They argued and fought constantly. Eventually, Fuzzypeach’s death came, and he couldn’t shield the tom’s daughter from his body. The two became distant, and Grumpyface grew close with Fennelpaw, now Fennelsnap. She was constantly forgiving the tom, and she had a never ending patience for him. Fennelsnap was his true love, and he ruined it whenever he became deputy to Wolfstar. He became a brute. Grumpyface did unspeakable actions, ones that would haunt him to this day. The tom gouged out Raintail’s eye, a tom he had become close friends with, and removed Finchpaw, now Finchflight,’s tongue. Fennelsnap and him distanced, and eventually, his actions caught up to him, and he stepped down from deputy. The tom sunk into a depression, becoming wallpaper in MeadowClan. The only thing that brought him happiness, for a moment, was his interaction with Twigkit, the love of his life’s son.
Senior-adult
Grumpyface is now 80 moons old. He’s an old, graying tom, but his maine coon blood has kept him strong. The tom is like wine, better as he ages. Now, however, he is haunted by his past. He experiences flashbacks, panic attacks, and hears the voice of Fuzzypeach and Fennelsnap. The senior warrior is still a fighting spirit, and his age is just a number. Grumpyface might be down, but he isn’t out.
