Ever since Foxpaw was old enough to understand the carnage they'd been born into, they knew their purpose in life was to make others smile and laugh. Whether at it's a quip or a joke or even at their expense, if a smile is given or a giggle is sounded, Foxpaw considers their job done. They don't mind a shot at their dignity if it makes the mood lighter.

There have been times when they've purposefully taken a faceplant into a mud puddle just to make their littermates laugh. It's easy to wave it off as being clumsy though, as Foxpaw often has more energy than sense. Staying still is one of the worst things ever to them, making hunting a necessary evil to the young cat.

Of course it's not just their littermates that Foxpaw takes time to care for. Ever since the initial scattering of the Clans (and the subsequent getting separated from two of his littermates), they'd come across very few strangers while traveling. And each one, if they needed help, Foxpaw was there to offer a paw. They like helping cats, like feeling needed and wanted.

It's a feeling that's been increasingly missing the longer they're away from their Clanmates, and if they're a little overbearing with Tigerpaw while they're traveling, well, Tigerpaw will just have to put up with it.

Once upon a time, Foxkit was born last in a little of four. They were born to Ravenwing in ForestClan, and no father ever stepped up to claim the kits. That was okay with little Foxkit though. They were content with the family they had, and thought that life would always be great.

Then bad stuff happened. FearClan was a thing, the war was a thing, their mother dying was a thing. Not necessarily in that order. Foxpaw fought when they needed to, but they were never a terror on the battlefield like some cats they could name.

In an almost comical series of events, the forest was set on fire. It was more of a 'how do things keep getting WORSE' kind of comical than an actual 'ha ha that's funny' kind of comical. The Clans scattered, and in the chaos the siblings got separated. Whether Foxpaw and Tigerpaw left Lionpaw and Stonepaw by accidental or Lionpaw and Stonepaw split off without realizing, Foxpaw couldn't say.

All they know is, they've been stumbling around for moons with Tigerpaw, trying to find their littermates.
