Smokestorm is a compassionate, timid at times. He thinks with his heart not head. He's very family oriented. He tends to be headstrong with his actions, and is a ask for forgiveness later type. He can get stuck in his head and internalizes others opinions.
Smokestorm and his, at the time, brother were born on July 24th to their parents Maplesky and Smokerunner. They each choose a name for one child. Smokerunner named Smokekit, While Maplesky named Stonekit. Maplesky was very traditional and was all about gender roles. She believed toms had to be strong warriors and had to like boy stuff. While all she-cats had to have kits. This was an issue for Smokekit, because he liked “girly” stuff, like flowers and butterflies. Smokerunner was a lot more chill, he had a strong bond with his kits. Smokerunner would pass on the stories and legends of the mountain cats they descended from to his kits, as his mother did for him. Both kits went on to believe in both starclan and the mountain cats religion. Smokerunner tought his kits how to make little trinkets and jewelry with clay and coweb. He gave Smoke a butterfly wing to wear on his ear, despite Maple’s protests. One bay while Smokekit and Smokerunner were on their way back from outlook rock when Smokerunner was shot by a twoleg. At first Smokekit tired to pull him with his tiny kit body. He then ran to get help. Smokerunner died 10 minutes after the shot while in the medicine den with his kits by his side. After this Smoke started to show symptoms of PTSD. He was held back from being an apprentice because of this. Stonepaw disappeared a few moons after. Widowtooth made sure Smokekit was a skilled as other apprentices his age. Smoke began to develop feelings for Widow. At 8 moons Smoke began living in the elders' den. His ears also began to rise. Maplesky decided that Smoke should be over his fathers death already. They got into a major argument that ended in Maple destroying his butterfly wing. He cut contact with her. After 10 moons had passed Smoke was decided mentally well enough to become an apprentice (He was not). Widowtooth was his mentor. He didn't fit in well with the other apprentices but that didn't matter because he wasn't an app for long. He was given his warrior name, Smokestorm. Unknown to him, Maplesky got a new mate and had Morningkit. Later on Maplesky retired and died from the elder log crushing her. Smoke later became deputy.
Smokestorm has 6 toes. This is because he is a polydactyl pawed cat. He uses his extra toes to make jewelry out of vines, cobwebs and clay.
Smokestorm is descended from a group of nomadic cats that lived in the mountains. His great grandfather, Icywind, ran away with his kit Snowbreeze. They were lucky enough to find the clans. Icywind and Snowbreeze pass down many of the traditions from the mountain cats
