Snakeface

Snakeface is an odd array of dark and light colored tortoiseshell patterned tom with hard, unfeeling amber eyes.

Personality
He loves his Clanmates with such a quiet, yet wild fierceness that threatens to tear him in two, like a lot of things. Snakeface is a very shaky and socially awkward tom who prefers not to talk or make noise at all, or make his presence be made known. He tends to either fall behind or scout ahead of patrols to minimize contact with other cats; if he is approached, he will show surprising seriousness and stoical behavior despite his previously mentioned shakiness. He gets flustered very easily, so if a cat gives him an iota of a compliment, he will  feel like  if he accepts the praise, he's automatically boastful and prideful, and  suddenly, he's trying to make himself a god, which he detests the idea. His emotions will spiral in his chest, and mostly keeps the reaction hidden and will attempt to aim the kind words to another cat - unless he's had a rough day already, in which case, he'll do the same, if he physically can, but also bite his lip and nod, to his despair, and will isolate himself even further for the day. When he's approached by authoritative figures (mainly toms), he will become the most flustered and shaky (though just barely in an attempt to subdue it), refusing to make eye contact, because it irrationally reminds him of his own parents, and his brain will attack him with 'That your father/mother?' or 'he/she could be a good father/mother to you,' or something along those lines. He also tends to mess up in front of those cats specifically, and thoughts such as 'that's why your mother/father left you for dead, you scum.' or 'what kind of son...?' When approached by kindness, he remain stony faced, unsure of how to react to it since he feels undeserving, but it will coax him into speaking softly, at least. With all of that said, however, he is unwaveringly loyal and will not succumb to switching sides if his own Clan is breaking apart. He also is very kind, enough to where he could be taken advantage of completely rather easily. He could display a brighter and quirkier side if he has any cat in an 'inner circle.' Will be heartbroken if he is betrayed in any form or fashion. He is  very  wary of toms, especially toms older than him, and will become immensely angry - likely to lash out verbally or physically once he's left said cat's presence (same for she-cats, just not as extreme). Overall, he is very,  very  lonely and desires to be doted on/cared for like a little bean.

History
He grew up in an abusive family situation - the father doing the dirty work. He would act like a good daddy to anyone else, and when his mother would trust him enough to leave her kits with him, he would go on a rampage and demand she takes back her 'dogs,' after screeching at the kits, usually using sheathed or unsheathed claws to 'discipline' them. He would then proceed to make it look like the kits had hurt him on purpose, go away for a while, and beg to 'be loved,' though that's how his mate had treated him - with love and only that. Snakekit had to mature greatly in that time to protect his oblivious siblings and/or his mother when necessary. After they finally split up, she found another tom, who only proved to be just as awful that nearly killed Snakepaw's mother from abuse - until she was miraculously healed. Now split up from toms to be a medicine cat, young Snakepaw and his mother argued a lot, causing a rift in between them. When Snakepaw's mother died suddenly, he was emotionally screwed over - he can't bear to even look in the direction of his father and nearly step-father - in which he tends to avoid with success with the help of the Clan.
