Personality:
Fawnpaw is the sweetest ball of floof you'll ever meet. He's extremely sweet and kind to everyone he meets, and to everyone around him. He's a great cat to have around for this reason; he's lovable, wholesome, and sweet. Many feel for him, and he is also empathetic. Fawnpaw can "feel" and understand the emotions of others; for example, if a cat's sad, he'll understand their emotions and might even feel sad, too. Fawnpaw loves other cats and likes making others feel happy when he can. He doesn't like bearing any ill will toward others, even if he's given good reason to; he likes spreading positive vibes and happiness. However, Fawnpaw is logical. He may be sweet and "innocent", but there is a logical side of him that comes out when needed. It might take some courage to admit or enact said logic, because it might require making hard decisions instead of just going through things normally, but that logic is there. Fawnpaw is no fool; he understands, even though sometimes he wants to deny his logic.
Newtpaw is definitely a shy, introverted guy. Even though he likes spreading positive vibes, he is quiet most of the time. He also gets nervous around large numbers of cats, especially cats he doesn't know. Newtpaw is full of thoughts, but he doesn't speak a lot. Sometimes he'll have streaks where he's feeling more confident, where he'll leave his comfort zone to talk to other cats. This is where his flirty side can come out. Newtpaw is a flirt; he habitually flirts with other cats. When he's younger, it's not as prominent; it's not quite flirting, but something close to it. However, as he gets older, his flirting gets more prominent. Most of the time, it isn't anything overly serious, but sometimes, Newtpaw means it, and uses it as a way to try and hint at his attraction without having a serious conversation. It can also be used as a coping mechanism. On a different note, Newtpaw is quite curious. He has a natural curiosity and likes to learn, as well as explore.
Newtpaw is empathetic and sensitive to other cats; however, he is too sensitive. Even a lighthearted, teasing comment directed at him can make him feel awful and worried about how others view him, and what others think of him. He said something that made someone else mildly upset? He'll feel awful for a really long time. He messed something small up? He'll think he's a failure. Newtpaw is very sensitive. He's also a bit of a coward. Newtpaw lacks courage and finds it very difficult to be brave and strong. This could be a good source of character development for him. Also, this trait was one of many that made life in ShadowClan terrible for him. Newtpaw is cowardly, yes, but he can work up the courage to do big things that are good for him. Around others, Newtpaw is evasive. He's awkward when talking to others, and feels very pressured when he is talked to. So, when he talks, he'll often be evasive and indirect. This can make others think he's hiding something when he's not. Unfortunately, Newtpaw doesn't have a good memory. He forgets things easily - for example, if someone asks him to do something, or if he learned a move once, he's bound to forget it. This adds to his insecurity because he's worried about what he's forgotten.

Backstory
Newtpaw, back then Newkit, was a curious kitten, they always found themselves stumbling into the elders' den or crashing over their tail at any time of rushing over to something. At first, he seemed as any kit, curious, hopeful, maybe a little spooked by things, by excited and confident, well - that didn't last very long, unfortunately. He lost his brother, Frogkit, to illness and Toadpaw as a kit was never very nice to him. It didn't help either that his mother, Marshnight, had worshiped Frogkit, Newtkit had never really found the reason, but she had, so when he passed she ignored both him and Toadpaw, which left him to his brother's disrespect.
Toadpaw and Newtpaw went back and forth and back and forth, but Toadpaw scared Newtpaw, more than Newtpaw could have imagined, along with quite actually harming him, like nipping him on the legs where others wouldn't notice, and Newtpaw couldn't take it. He became scared of the elders' stories as they increased in more recent, horrible and revolting events, they told him of his wicked leader, Dawnstar, and they looked prideful and happy, and Newtpaw felt all but pride and instead disgust, fear, and resentment to their leader.
Shortly after the tom was apprenticed, he distanced himself before trying to connect with his parents as he struggled with training, yet, he was ignored. Toadpaw kept on picking on him, just while all the same he kept physically hurting him, on a particularly rough training session, Toadpaw scratched all the way down his muzzle, leaving a long scar, which seemed like a last straw for the dear apprentice.
Filled with remorse, regret, and anger, he left Shadowclan until he stumbled upon the next nearest clan, Thunderclan, as he now resides with and hopes for the best within.
​
He was renamed Fawnpaw for his seeming gentle nature.
