This average sized feline has thick black fur covering her body, aside from the white dash on her chest. She has a lithe build, making her more agile than others her size. Her eyes tend to draw you in, being a beautiful copper color. Though they seem to have to settings, frosty and fiery. The fur of her tail is a big longer than the rest of her fur, and is a bit of a hassle to groom. A few scars do litter her body, a few on her ears and one on her belly. Though one distinctive physical trait is her lower jaw. It was broken as an apprentice, and though it wasn't a bad brake it did almost end her apprenticeship.

The one thing that centers around Rookjaw's personality is her insecurity. Stemming from her broken jaw and the constant reminder of it. From this one trait many more sprouted. Anger, hatred, distrust to name a few. This is true, she is rather angry at everyone really, and she does hate though that forced the constant reminder. While she trust's her clan-mates with her life, she no longer trust's them with her heart. Her heart which was once bright and whole, has dimmed and shriveledshriveled. But don't let any of this fool you. She is dedicated to her clan, and loyal to it. She works hard, and hides her insecurity behind smiles, and sarcastic comments. Often she fools her-self into being brave, and attempt to forgive and forget.

It was near moon-high when Rookkit and her siblings had been born. The middle of her two brothers, and the only she-kit in the litter, the odds seemed to be against her depending on how you looked at it. Two protectors or two tormentors. Ivycloud; her mother was/is a perfectionist, and demanded that her mate and kits be the best in the clan. The queen deemed that Ratkit would be the fastest cat in the clan, and Shadekit would be the strongest. Ivycloud also decided that because her only daughter took after her so much, that young Rookkit was destined to become the prettiest in the clan. Rookkit yearning for her mothers approval, did her best to stay pretty.
For the first six moons of life Rookkit rarely played with the other kits, but watched others and constantly groomed her coat. Her mother was both surprised and a little disappointed when the newly named Rookpaw was given a senior warrior as a mentor. Apparently the queen felt that the senior warrior was wasted on Rookpaw, and made it rather clear as the black she-cat protested rather loudly to the clans current leader, not moments after the clan meeting. Rookpaw had been a little upset but shook it off and began to work with her mentor; a brave tom named Blackclaw. The first few moons of her apprenticeship were fine, though her mother continuing disapproval gritted on her nerves. Rookpaw and her siblings got along fine, and training was progressing. But three moons into her training the scent of a badger had been found inside the territory. During some battle training, with two older apprentices and their mentors, the badger wandered into the area. Rookpaw had been told to go to camp to get help, but the apprentice had frozen in fear.
As if sensing her fear the badger went straight for her and with a single blow knocked her to the ground, her lower jaw hitting a small boulder just inside the training felid. Rookpaw black out from the pain, leaving the others to defend them-selves. She woke up the next morning, learning all that had happened. Her mentor had lost his sight in one eye during the battle, but would be fine. The medicine cat then proceeded to tell her about her jaw. Fear had flooded her system and not long after she had been released from the medicine cat den, her worst fear had come true. Ivycloud publicly disowned Rookpaw, stating that "No kit of mine shall be deformed." Her brothers had a choice, stay with their mother or risk being disowned. In a single day she lost both her mother and her siblings.
For a time Rookpaw grieved her loss, flinching as her mother taunted her, her brother half-heartedly following. Her self-confidence shriveled as time went on. Until a moon after the incident, Blackclaw pulled her aside one day, and essentially gave her a pep talk. It hit home, and Rookpaw began to return to her normal self, though not completely. Moons past and Finally Rookpaw was going to become a warrior. But it was not what Rookpaw had hopped it to be. A few heart-beats before the ceremony, Blackclaw approached the young she-cat giving her some bad news. Her mother ad requested her warrior name. And Rookpaw was sure her warrior name would be something terrible. After the ceremony the newly named Rookjaw had mixed feelings about her new name. It was a strong name, but it brought dark and angry feeling to the for front of her mind.
Little changed after this, her mother and siblings tormenting her, Rookjaw rarely fought back and so it seemed to be an invitation for other inside and outside her clan to tease and taunt the she-cat. So Rookjaw built a hard exterior, two persona's. The hard-working, always smiling, sarcastic she-cat for those who treated her with respect, and the harsh, mean-spirited, over-aggressive she-cat for those that got on her bad side. The latter tend to find a second reason for her suffix, as despite her broken jaw she has a rather powerful bite force. Recently her mentor had his name changed and retired after a battle where he lost his sight in his good eye.
