When Whitepaw was an apprentice, he had a brother whom he loved dearly.
One day, his brother had fallen terribly sick, and had to live in the medicine cat’s den. Whitepaw was terribly scared, but hopeful that his brother might survive. His prays were left unanswered.
Whitepaw was stricken by grief and agony at his death, and blamed the medicine cat for his losing him, swearing to himself that one day he would get revenge upon said medicine cat. The day of his warrior ceremony soon came, and the newly dubbed Whiteear doubled down upon his plan, and began plotting on how he would kill the medicine cat.
One day he and the medicine cat were finally alone outside of camp. Whiteear struck quickly, ripping their throat out and leaving the body near a fox den. he gave himself a thorough wash and had pretended that a fox had gotten the medicine cat while they were out.
He had believed that his work was done, and resumed Clan life as normal, even finding a mate. However that mate had gotten fatally injured in battle, and died in front of the medicine cat. Whiteear was livid, and grew to believe that all medicine cats were incompetent imbeciles who let innocent cats perish for no good reason.
Yet again, he swore revenge, revenge for all those who had perished because a medicine cat hadn’t or wouldn’t save them. He made quick work of this medicine cat, bringing them poisoned fresh-kill when no other cat could watch. He carried on for a few years, killing any medicine cat he could, believing that he was making his mate and his brother proud.
On his very last day with his Clan, he had lured a medicine cat to a pack of vicious dogs, and watched in delight as they ripped them to shreds. He got rather cocky, and decided to taunt the dogs from his perch in a tree.
He laughed and mocked them, unaware that the branch was bending dangerously. Then it snapped, and into the lions’ den he fell. He yowled and cried as the dogs ripped him limb from limb, and finally he was whisked away by darkness as his corpse was used as a chewtoy.
Wen he was judged, he was sent to the Dark Forest, and cursed to roam without pieces of his pelt to forever remind him of the crimes he had committed.
--Submission by @ribbonzregretz great read and art! Stripes are so cool, not to mention his skeleton-look!
--Main alias is Skullmoon (cool af)
--Dude really went "ykw im gonna take inspo from soap dramas & blame the doctor"
--Soap dramas actually kinda inspired the backstory for this character, originally they just wanted to draw a skeleton cat for halloween but then they got an idea to take a soap drama trope & use it in a character concept
