appearance
a large ginger-and-white tabby with piercing blue eyes.

personality
upon first glance perhaps, coldfang doesn't seem so name. when one looks past his intimidating name to his strikingly handsome face, he seems almost pleasant to be around, though perhaps that penetrating gaze is a bit much, and he's by no means approachable, one would still never think they would find such a frighteningly harsh combination of narcissism and anger in one cat. however, he unfortunately knows how handsome he can be, and makes quite the fit out of it. he likes himself a bit too much, indeed. perhaps that's why he spends so much time alone, avoiding the idiots that make up the populace of clan cats that he too-often has to deal with on a daily basis. he'd rather keep his intelligence quite in tact rather than be dumbed down by their company. plus, who else would he be rather spending his time with than his favorite cat? nevertheless, this is perhaps the very reason he seems okay at first- he's so quiet around others. reserved, even. since he keeps mostly to himself, and never speaks unless spoken to, it's easy to think he's simply timid or coy.
unfortunately, he's not. in fact, he's incredibly opinionated about-- anything. name a topic, coldfang knows what he wants regarding just that. he's selfish, too, reaping the benefits of clanlife but giving only when he has too. he's pretentious and harsh about these things, casting snobbish glares down his nose at those who disagree, or are deemed physically ugly by him. he resorts to petty cruelty when angered or threatened, as such a shallow and rude cat. he doesn't need the approval of others to be content, though it would surely help. he has himself, and that's often all he needs.
(to balance all these bad traits out, one must acknowledge coldfang's incredibly aptitude for tracking and fighting).

history
the fact of the matter is that coldfang's past isn't a particularly interesting one. however, it is worth noting that his most undesirable traits have sprung directly from his parents. gingertwist was his father, a proud and fierce tomcat. blazingrose was his mother, a vain and stunning female. see where that's headed? they got together on terms of "you're hot, I'm hot, let's bang." it didn't go very far once their affair was over (a.k.a when blaze started showing) so it wasn't much to give second thought to, except for the part where gingertwist stopped going to her when he thought she was just getting too comfortable in the "relationship", hence getting a little chubby. however, when he realized she was actually going to give birth to what he assumed were his kits, he decided to stick around. out of curiousity, of course. he had to know what his bloodline would turn out like.
so blazingrose gave birth to two expectedly gorgeous children- wildkit and coldkit. both were dubbed such in honor of the wicked blizzard raging just outside of the nursery. thanks to such horrible winter weather, neither were expected to survive. however, both lasted the winter perfectly. in fact, health issues never bothered either kit throughout their lives.
they were coddled to no end by their proud parents, and both took after them in the ways that everyone hoped they wouldn't. however, they were soon made apprentice, and began to show their real potential in the clan. coldpaw's mentor was a brutal female, tough to the bone, named bonedance, who taught him to hunt, of course, but really taught him to fight. she taught him how to fight to inflict pain, to inflict serious injuries, and of course, she taught him how to fight to kill. not only that, but coldpaw had a natural aptitude for tracking, and proved his skills not once, but twice when a kit continued to wander away. after the second time, bloodstar decided it was time for coldpaw to become coldfang a moon early. wildpaw was jealous, but since she and her brother were so close, she chose not to make a battle of it. instead, she waited patiently to be noticed by the leader as well, and was at last named wildfire. both siblings are relatively new warriors, and have yet to experience the trauma that they both know clan life can throw their way.
