#raceglint

His COD wasn't specified other than he was murdered, so I thought what if his neck was snapped?

I like to think his head is very loose, like a bobble head. He turns around too fast and his head swings for a bit.

Also because he has slight dysphoria (most likely in reference to his gender), I think maybe he also picks apart his appearance? Like sometimes he can't stand his markings, but because he can't see his face he doesn't realize how much charm he actually has.

(Speaking of face, I chose this base because it was the closest one that matches his little head tuft that I could find, plus the ears were already split).

Magpieleap: Hi Racer :3 How are you handsome :3 Does my boyfriend need anything :3 *insert other masc terms*

anyways I just think Magpie is very very aggressive when it comes to making Race feel better :D

Raceglint: Hey, Spot, we have something to tell you...

Spotgrowl: What's up you two?

Magpieleap: Racer's expecting our kits, and we both want you to be their godparent. Figured it'd only fair since you basically raised me, and Raceglint's pretty fond of you as well.

Spotgrowl: shocked

Also Spotgrowl: absolultly sobbing from happiness. He then proceeds to get worried out of his mind about the possible struggles the kits will run into.

Cautionary Tale: for the love of anything holy, DO NOT MURDER CATS FOR CULTISH REASONS. YOU WILL BE MURDERED IN REVENGE

Story: 

Spotgrowl's paws have always been stained with blood. The metallic tang of it is a scent he knows well, and it holds a bit of comfort.

The first cat to make him question if this was a good thing was his beloved Magpie. Magpie burst into his life, and made himself at home. And Spotgrowl loved him for it.

Magpie was like a sibling to him. The littermate neither of them had.

When Magpie came home with a tom he said he had made friends with, Spotgrowl was wary. He knew the taste of betrayal well, and he'd go through darkness and back to keep his sibling from going through the same.

Yet, Racer was an excellent addition to the group. He ran a 'gambling ring', and took part in others. He shared similarities with both Magpie and Spot, and he was kind and oh so loyal to them.

So it hurt like hell when Raceglint was found dead in an alley.

Magpieleap didn't handle it well.

When Magpieleap also didn't return home, Spotgrowl went looking for his sibling with a heavy heart. He knew the second he saw Raceglint's body where those two would end up, but it still hurt to see Magpie's body.

Spotgrowl wasn't proud of his past killings. It was what was needed to do on the streets. It wasn't what he enjoyed.

That being said, he was very good at what he knew how to do.

Additional Information:

--Submission by @indigo-flightly-falls

--He's the second oldest out of the trio! Despite this he's the sole holder of the braincell.

--He also had the worse upbringing, and is VERY defensive of cats who might not be comfortable in their home life. (Indigo's note: "now I want him to meet Floodleopard. I think it'd be funny to see this short cat who has murdered countless cats get all murderous again after learning how some of the kits came into her care." Agreed).

--His life was cut short by an illness, but he doesn't really mind. just means he got to see Raceglint and Magpieleap again.

--If Race and Magpie ever had kits, Spot'd be the kits' godparent.

there are now five bird themed children who love shiny things and still have no fighting skill besides what Spotgrowl can teach them

Their names:

Sparrowkit/Sparrowshine (named after Magpieleap's nickname and Raceglint's love of shiny things)

Bluejaykit/Bluejayshimmer (named after the territorial bird and again, Raceglint liking shiny things)

Shrikekit/Shrikemoth (named after both Magpie's nickname and the actual bird, and he has a adoration of moths)

Canarykit/Canarycall (named after Canarysky, one of Magpie's friends, and the fact that canaries tend to stop singing in tight areas if the air is getting bad)

Starlingkit/Starlingsnarl (named after Magpie's sibling and Spotgrowl)
