A drawing of a grey and white cat with a classic tabby whorl on his side. Text reads: Whorlpelt. Whirly boy. Lots of marking whorls, in stripes, and negative space between patches on flank and face. In my mind his tail whorls out of habit. Dad's head shape with mom's forehead fur shape between ears. Fur curls in ears, on cheeks, chest, rear, and tail tip. Kinda grumpy, got some rbf.

Whorlpelt! He is Grassheart and Stonewing's son, sibling to Snaketooth and Flowerstem. He is an average kit and apprentice, born shortly before the Kin take over Shadowclan and apprenticed on Rowanstar's last day before the takeover. It's not revealed who his first mentor is, but it becomes Juniperclaw when Tigerheart returns from the city. I think Whorlpelt is a very interesting guy, because he tends to be opinionated for a background cat, eventually strongly opposing clan swappers in the Starless Clan arc despite having been an apprentice in the same den as Fringewhisker who is the cat he's trying to get to leave Shadowclan. Maybe it's because of the time spent in Skyclan not despite it, or the fact that Juniperclaw was his mentor, but I think it's just kind of fun. He has things to say and most of the time is blunt and direct about his thoughts and loyalties.
