While Redbird can come across as obnoxious and self-entitled to those who don't know him well it’s generally unintentional on his part. He does tend to run on the sarcastic side and can range anywhere from being very straightforward to horribly passive-aggressive around cats he dislikes, usually dependent on who he's speaking with. Pair that with the fact he has a habit of subtly teasing others and this doesn't often endear him to many of the other warriors. It's never his intention to be cruel, but for those who don't understand his sense of humor it's easy to become offended by his insults.

That aside, he’s an amiable fellow who means well and can be quite friendly when in good company. Redbird is very compassionate, protective and empathetic which often leads to him being reckless if someone else is in danger. He won't hesitate to put his own life in danger if it means keeping a Clanmate safe and will defend his friends with everything he's got. Redbird might not be the biggest or strongest cat around, but he can be viciously tenacious when necessary. He cares a great deal about his appearance, having grown up in a family where looks were considered everything. His vanity never quite reached the same level as that of his brother Sunny, but he can often be found meticulously grooming his fur after a patrol.

Redbird was born a kittypet named Phoenix. His early life was spent in luxury, born into the home of a prestigious LaPerm breeder and then sold off as a companion animal once he reached an appropriate age alongside his brother Sunny. Their owners showered them with affection and the two young cats grew up truly pampered. Things changed when a fire tore through their home and the formerly inside only cats found themselves lost on the streets, having escaped through a window.

The brothers came to a disagreement three days later and parted ways, with Phoenix wanting to move elsewhere and Sunny wishing to continue his search for their burned home. Phoenix headed out to the mountains and soon after came across SnowClan. After some convincing they agreed to take him in and train him up as a warrior. It was tough going at first and the newly named Redbird quickly learned he'd have to shape up if he wanted to stay. While he finds the warrior lifestyle messy sometimes he doesn't have any real regrets. These cats are his family now.

Stern and uptight in demeanor, Reedclaw comes from a background of self-discipline that has followed him well into the present day. He's needed to keep his emotions carefully in check nearly his entire life and doesn't quite know how to relax, though kits tend to bring out his softer side and he can often be found entertaining them in his spare time. His sense of moral justice is strong and he frowns immensely upon rule breaking or disobeying authority figures without a justifiable reason, though of course there are cases where it is excusable and he'll always speak up for anyone he believes has been abused or mistreated. Normally little more than a silent figure standing in a corner, he's passionate about the causes he does choose to align himself with and can be quite vocal in his opinions.

"You are a soldier, not a diplomat. You are here to be seen, not to be heard. You are the required muscle and that is all," were common comments from superiors of his former alliance before joining OakClan, but such admonishments did little to dissuade him from speaking should he believe his voice needed to be heard. He attempts to speak in as respectful a manner he can manage and always in a calm, even tone. Never quick to anger, or if he is then he hides it well behind an unreadable, stoic expression. Violence is a necessary evil in his mind, but he'll do his best to smooth over a situation without bloodshed if he can, willing to use intimidation and threats in order to get rival cats to back off or surrender without a fight.

Once he becomes comfortable with someone Reedclaw tends to grow attached and overprotective. Even if he isn't the most openly affectionate tom he has other ways of showing that he cares; subtle touches, compliments, gift giving and actually joking around with the cats in question being a few clues. His loyalty is not easily earned, but once you've gained it you can expect a friend who will go to great lengths to insure you are safe and support you through your endeavors. He's surprisingly family oriented and a hopeless romantic, but hasn't had much time to devout to finding a life partner or having kits just yet.

Reedclaw came from a fairly strict, militaristic family of rogues who had been at war with their neighbors for as long as any cat could remember. He started training for the militia as young as three moons at the insistence of his father, the group leader. His apprenticeship was rough, the conditions so harsh and cruel none of his siblings survived to graduation. Eventually Reedclaw was fully assimilated into the militia. He doesn't like remembering this part of his life. He did many things he's now ashamed of. Things that haunt his dreams and memories alike.

When he reached his 20th moon Reedclaw's family group came to a violent end, their rivals finally gaining the upper paw. With little left to call his own and few survivors who had any interest in sticking around, Reedclaw moved away from the area entirely. Once he stumbled upon GemClan territory he was initially aggressive toward the Clan cats, malevolence being all he'd come to expect from strangers. He got into a few skirmishes with border patrols before curiosity finally replaced hostility.

It was slow progress, but eventually loneliness drove him to request admittance to GemClan. It took many moons to gain enough trust to earn a true warrior name and be fully accepted into the Clan, but Reedclaw is now as respected and valued as any other senior warrior.
