Knight Hornet of Wolfsbane

Hornet is a titular Wolfsbane, especially so in appearance. Much like the rest of his family, Hornet has inherited the massive frame of his lineage, boasting massive paws, a square face, and a muscular body. His fur is long and tufted, particularly at his ears and paw pads. His pelt, much like the tom, reflects his family's nobility. It remains shiny and spotless, though there are often small twigs that he keeps at the base of his tail and throughout his fur, almost like a bird. Hornet isn't imposing at default persay, but there's a definite tense aura to the tom that reflect in honey-gold eyes that contrast heavily to his black-and-tan pelt, clearly capable of giving a stinging gaze if he wished.

Hornet's upbringing has led him to become a jaded, serious cat. Hornet rarely jokes or takes a joke, often replying with an unamused comment if someone decides to mess with him. He's serious to a fault, seemingly unwavering from this state. Hornet doesn't smile. He doen't laugh. He focuses on what's important, and that's his Court. Hornet's dedication to his Court comes in the form of an unwavering, unmatched bravery and the full knowledge that Hornet would risk everything for the Court. There's no doubt in how far he'd go, potentially even risking his life for the cats of the court.

The mark Stag left is a dark one, but it's one Hornet has worked to patch with things he sees as opposite to Stag. As opposed to his former mentor's distance, Hornet has worked very hard to connect with his Court, despite his stoic demeanor. He's surprisingly personable for the type of cat he is, and tries his best to get to know everyone on a personal level. Additionally, he works hard for his Court, often comparing his own effort to Stag's. He can work harder. He can do better. He's a much better cat than Stag. He knows it, and that's why he's the direct opposite of him in most aspects, at least in his opinion.

Unfortunately, Stag's mark isn't completely gone. The tom's training has left Hornet as someone whose opinions are often black or white. Those who wrong him rarely get back in his good graces, and those he perceives as a threat to himself or those around him are swiftly and mercilessly dealt with, not pausing to allow for reason or discussion. He's only doing what he has to, in his mind. It's all for the safety of the Court.
