[attr="class","groupidol"]class goes here | [attr="class","aboutmeidol"] [attr="class","titeidol"]APPEARANCE Eye Color: Amber Pelt Color: Red-silver tabby Lightningkit is quite proud to say that he's the biggest of his remaining littermates- even though he's also the sickliest. He's got the best of both sides: long legs and a body that is beginning to hint at the muscle the kit could one day have. His medium length fur is red and white in color, alternating in tabby stripes along his face, body, and tail, which thickens into longer fur. His eyes are light amber, wide and full of expression. There is little hint now of the illness that nearly claimed his life in the cat he has become. [attr="class","titeidol"]PERSONALITY Lightningkit wants only one thing in life right now- to be an apprentice and begin the training that will raise him to warrior status, just like the father he's heard so much about from the elders. He envies Jitterpaw and Riotpaw and bugs them often- mostly Jitterpaw- about the things they learned that day. He wants to know everything, and his sister is a willing teacher, but she and Riotpaw have their own duties and when they're busy, Lightningkit is left alone, with only his mother, the medicine cat, and other queens as constant company. He doesn't exactly resent this, and he does know why he's not an apprentice yet. But as sick as he has been, he's recovering, and it nags at him that he's still confined to the camp with the other kits, watching wistfully as his littermates and the other apprentices keep moving forward while he's stuck as a kit. While he's left in the medicine den with Rabbitfoot always fussing over him, grooming him and asking if he feels well. To escape everything, he visits the elders as often as he can, crouching with them and listening as they tell stories of great cats and the deeds they did- happily imagining himself in these stories and promising himself that one day, nobody will remember him as the sick little kit who, more than once, nearly died. He wants to be great, to prove to everyone that he's as strong and capable as any hero in the elders' tales. That day isn't here yet, and as much as he has been getting better, he's not completely healthy yet. He's been told many times that he can't do the same things that Jitterpaw and Riotpaw can do, but it doesn't stop him from trying to keep up with his exuberant sister when she's around, and it rarely ends well for him- not that it stops him from trying the next time Jitterpaw comes back around.
[attr="class","titeidol"]HISTORY Family:
The start of life to Rabbitfoot's first litter was shaky. Perhaps it was her age, perhaps something else entirely- whatever it was, it resulted in a difficult birth for the litter of four kits. Due to the possibility that they might not live, none of the kits were given Clan names at first- Lightningkit was simply known as Ginger. The medicine cat worked hard to save each of the little lives, helping to keep them warm and clean and encouraging other queens to give the kits milk, as Rabbitfoot failed to produce any after the ordeal she'd been through. It was a slow recovery for the queen, but constant care from the medicine cat and other members helped her to pull through. While she was getting better, however, the kits remained sickly, lying still in the nest and requiring a constant eye on them at all times, as they would frequently stop breathing. Lightningkit was the first to be named, so called for the way he'd reacted to a storm that had raged- stiffening in the flashes of light that preceded each rumble of thunder. The smallest kit was named when, upon the kits' eyes opening, it was discovered that he would most likely never be able to see; Rabbitfoot named him for the hazy color of his eyes- Fogkit. They were just a moon old, still in danger, when the news came to Rabbitfoot that Hollow-wail had been killed. This didn't help the queen in the least, and now on top of caring for the kits nobody expected to live, she grieved for her mate. She named the one of her sons after his father, the second largest and the most active of the males. The only female kit, soon after, took a turn for the worse, falling into a deep, coma-like sleep. There was nothing that really could be done for her, and while she prepared herself for her daughter's death, the kit surprised everyone by waking once more. The side effects of the illness would give the last kit the name Jitterkit. From there, Jitterkit and Riotkit began to make good progress, their health improving daily until they were able to leave the medicine den and return to the nursery under another queen's care. Contrasting this recovery, Fogkit and Lightningkit grew ill once more, and Fogkit finally succumbed, his body too weak to fight anymore. The Clan mourned the death, sitting vigil for the tiny kit and burying him when the sun rose. Lightningkit clung to life, tucked away in the medicine den and still under constant supervision of his mother and the medicine cat; gradually, he too began to recover from this latest illness. Not quickly enough to suit him, and not soon enough to join his brother and sister in their apprentice ceremony. He watched from the entrance to the medicine den and cheered for them, but he wishes he could have been right at their sides- and he wishes each day that this will be the day he gets his apprentice name.
