Cypresspaw is a burly brown tom with darker brown markings. He has lighter colored facial features, and a white undermuzzle. His fur is somewhat long, specifically near his neck area where his fur fluffs up. He has strands of fur coming from his ears, and a long, busy tail. He has hazel colored eyes.

Cypresspaw is a somewhat anxious guy, who tends to doubt himself alot. He's never really a hundred percent sure in what he's doing, and will look to others for advice or guidance. He gets easily embarrased when he messes up, though always pushes himself to do better. He has tendancieds to not recongize his own self-worth, and compares himself to others way too much. Though he's always the first to assure others that they're doing great, which is a bit hypocritical. He's a bit of a sickler to the rules, always trying to follow them; though cares about his own morals and values a bit more. He'll often do what he believes is right, and alot of his hesitation will melt away during that time. He can also be really stubborn in certain instances, and will do what he has to. Eventually, Cypresspaw becomes more and more of his own cat, making decisions without as much doubt, and believing in himself and his skills more.

Due to his large size, alot of cats can be intimidaed by Cypresspaw at first glance, which can be used to his advantage. Despite his bad decision making skills, he'll often think long and hard about things, so he tends to be especially logical in crucial times. His eye-sight is also rather good, and he's good at hunting with a partner.

He often hesitates, so he misses quite a few pieces of prey at times. He also isn't the most stealthy due to his large size that he's still growing into, and often thinks he's smaller then what he is, causing him to get stuck.

Cypresspaw was born to Sageflight and Sandstrike of Shadowclan. He has three other siblings(Briarpaw, Toadpaw and Beepaw). His parents had a kit from a previous litter who died, so when Cypresspaw and the others were born, they were extremely protective, keeping them in the nursery alot and not letting them leave unless one of them was watching.

Eventually he was mentored by a senior warrior named Roseflash, who held high expectations for him, and got disappointed when he didn't meet them. It led to some insecurity, even if he tries not to show it.

Cypresspaw is the second oldest out of his siblings.

You were a proud apprentice of Shadowclan, and normally, clan life was quite peaceful. Nothing bad had happened for pretty much a season, especially since the clans mostly kept to themselves.

 The biggest change was with Windclan, who reported a group of rouges moving close to their territory. It was on free-land, so not a big deal. What was a big deal however, was when Windclan didn't show up to the most recent gathering. The leaders of Thunderclan, Riverclan and Shadowclan were surprised, and sent a cat from each clan to see if Windclan was ok. However what they didn't expect, was to see the group of rouges now in their camp, living there. It was obvious that the rouges had chased Windclan out. However no leader was willing to help Windclan, because it was a really harsh leafbare, and all the clans needed their warriors during this time. There was also no telling what the rouges would do next, so what happened to Windclan was pushed to the side.

It certainly sucked what happened to Windclan, but you had better things to do. Besides, what happened to Windclan was non of your concern really, there wasn't anything you could do.

One day you were coming into camp and saw your best friend Cypresspaw, going into the leaders den with a worried expression. Had he gotten in trouble? You weren't sure. When he came out, the expression hadn't faded from his face, but he refused to tell you what's wrong. However you knew him better then that. So for the next few days, you watched him closely.

You noticed that he seemed to be deep into thought alot, and sometimes spoke in his sleep, saying things about Windclan, and the rouge groups so softly that you had to strain to hear. He lost focus easily, and seemed to be working on a lack of sleep. No matter how many times you asked, he never told you what was wrong.

One day, you were curled up in the apprentices den, fast asleep. You woke up and at first, were confused as to what did. You realized Cypresspaw's tail had hit you in your face as he was leaving the apprentice den, causing you to sneeze. He whispered an apology, saying he was just going to make dirt. Despite that, there was a certain look in your eyes that made you wonder if that was the truth. So, after shaking off the sleep, you waited a few moments before following him.

He headed to the dirtplace tunnel, though never came back after. Holding your breath, you headed there too, keeping to the shadows. No surprise when you caught his scent leading out the tunnel and into the territory. You picked your way through the snow, having a bad feeling. The heavy and cold snow scent made it a little hard to track him, but you eventually found Cypresspaw trekking to the edge of Shadowclan territory, heading in Windclan's -no, the rouges territory now- direction.
