Hobblekit

Cat Name: Hobblekit | Hobblepaw | Hobblefoot

Tom or She-Cat: Tom

   
Kit ~ Adult

Appearance: Hobblekit is a short-haired dark gray cat with auburn markings around his eyes, down his sides and back, and up his tail. He has a few scattered spots of white, mostly on some of his toes. The marks on his face contrast his green eyes, both of which are flecked with gold. Even though he's still quite young, he already is beginning to show the signs of a lean body shape, long legs, and long tail, typical characteristics of WindClan cats.

Hobblekit was born without a left hind leg; the peculiar hopping gait he has acquired to compensate for his disability prompted his namesake.

Personality: Hobblekit is a lonely kid. Even though he does have two brothers and a sister, his mother is considerably more protective of him than of her other kits (for obvious reasons) and doesn't like him going outside the nursery too much for fear of him hurting himself. Partly because of a rebellion against helicopter parenting and partly because of his own nature, Hobble is inherently curious and expresses a strong desire to learn more about the world around him. When he is allowed outside of the nursery, this young cat often winds up in the elders' den; he enjoys their stories and in turn provides some entertaining stories of his own, ones that he's fabricated while doing absolutely nothing in the nursery.

Since a lot of the other young cats in the Clan tend to avoid Hobblekit because he only has three legs, he has unfortunately developed a very low self-esteem at a relatively young age, something that is sure to produce bouts of melancholy and self-loathing when he gets older. This self-esteem issue makes Hobble very unsure of himself, giving him a rather cautious way of going about things as well as a habit of thinking through things before he says or does them.
