[ watch | tomcat | loner ]
appearance :
Watch is a silver tabby with amber eyes. He is sleek with small, white tipped paws and a dark tail and ears. He is currently 34 moons old and always seems to smell of the sea.
personality : Watch has always been an observer. He watched his mother as she cared for her kits on a warf on a distant shore, staring at the sea longingly, waiting for her mate to return. He watched his littermates leave the nest and become warf cats of there own while he stayed and took care of their aging mother. He watched her face light up when an old sail boat at last pulled into dock. He watched her fade with a smile on her face and a purr in her chest as the large tom who claimed to be their father appeared like he had never left.
Watch stayed with the pair, distrusting of a cat who could leave his family with out a qualm. He had grown to hate his father over the years, but his mother continued to defend him. When at last the sail boat prepared to leave, Watch's mother told him to follow his father and see why he had to leave. He did as she asked and boarded the boat, together, the two cats traveled from pier to port for nearly a year. His hatred leeched away, Watch fell in love with the water and became a great fishercat, just like his father. And there he still would be, if not for the storm that capsized the sail boat.
Luck to be alive at all, Watch was washed up on the shores near the Sea Stones and it is there he has lived since, pacing the shore, waiting for his boat to take him away.
