Backstory:

Willowclaw was born into Thunderclan by his parents Snowmalt and Hollowfur, two warriors who were notorious for their success of keeping the Clan safe. His parents died when he was relatively young which is when his mentor and guardian, Ashtalon took Willowclaw in. Ashtalon was loving like a parent but strict like a mentor, pushing Willowclaw to the bring in almost if not all training sessions. Willowclaw went to bed tired, drained and sore every night, rarely having time to play with the others in his clan. As he got older Ashtalon let him have more time to himself, praising him on his talents and improvements, which pushed him to be even better than he seemingly was. Despite his clear strength he was always gentle, soft, and easy to come to which led to him making quite a few friends in the clan, even as a warrior he still found himself in the main group. On one particular night during patrol Willowclaw heard something approaching at his back, before thinking or seeing clearly his first instinct was to strike, he was met with the face of Timberfrost, the deputy of Thunderclan and that’s the same day Willowclaw forced himself into cruel isolation. Willowclaw never wanted to hurt anyone, let alone someone like Timberfrost who was an important member of the clan, so he made it a point to keep himself distanced to keep everyone safe, not trusting himself with the claws that did so well to keep his clan safe.

He is honest to a fault, not able to tell a lie to save his life and he tries to he as not intimidating as he possibly can which is rather difficult with his size. When it comes to allowing himself closeness to others he will often second guess himself or stir himself into a panic which leads into him lashing out or pushing away the other person entirely, not out of meanness but out of fear that he could hurt them unintentionally.
