History: (this should be your most detailed portion)
Ramkit was born to two unhappy Cougarclan warriors. The pair had been betrothed to one another and didn't care for each other, so the announcement of a litter was something they pretended to be happy about. To the two of them, all it meant was that what their parents wanted was done. Their lineage was promised to continue and considering the litter had three kits in it, well..that future blood was more than assured in the eyes of his parents. The litter of three consisted of Goatkit, Ramkit, and Sheepkit. While being the middle child, Ramkit was actually the largest of the group.
This presented quite the burden upon becoming Rampaw. It was decided by his father and grandparents that Rampaw would be the focus of their efforts. Even Rampaw's mentor was in on it and they worked to mold Rampaw into a fine warrior. Extra training sessions and even his father would participate in some; of course these weren't often secret and took place further out in the territory. Rampaw had tried to not tell hi siblings but he ended up breaking down to them one night due to feeling overwhelmed. Goatpaw and Sheeppaw were very concerned and didn't know what to do other than try to comfort their brother. And that was how much of their apprenticeship was spent, Goatpaw and Sheeppaw would try to keep Rampaw's spirits high and give him something positive to think about.
Becoming Ramhorn was a relief for the first day. After all, there surely wouldn't be any pressure left anymore, right? Wrong. It didn't matter that he was a warrior now. He was still needing training or needing to improve on this or that. And as the moons progressed, it became something he hide easier. His growing displeasure and anger towards his family. They were over critical of him and didn't seem to value what he did. He was also given a apprentice during these moons, Vulturepaw. Ironically, they were from another family of strong tradition and he was certain that someone had pulled strings for this to happen. But with this apprentice, he choose to teach his way rather than how his mentor and his grandfather had him trained. At twenty-five moons, he and his sibling Goateye heard their father's grandparents talking to their parents about betrothing Sheepcloud to some tom in the clan. Goateye didn't like this and Ramhorn had to stop them as they weren't meant to even be eavesdropping on the conversation. The two siblings promised to find a way to help prevent this fate from befalling their sister, sadly they wouldn't get much of a chance.
It was just a moon later that Ramhorn had been trying to find Goateye only for his Grandfather to approach him and inform him that Goateye was...gone. What did he mean gone? The older warrior produced a tuft of Goateye's fur and stated it again as emotionless as possible. Gone. Goateye was dead; or run off and Ramhorn could easily put it all together. His grandfather mentioned how bits of Goateye's fur was found near the Crags and that was all Ramhorn needed to hear. They got rid of his sibling...but why? No body was ever found, a search party was maybe sent but honestly, Ramhorn isn't sure the search party was a genuine one.
Ramhorn wonders if Goateye had confronted their family about Sheepcloud’s potiental betrothal and it went badly for them? Why would this be the result though? Was their family just that...cold? Regardless, Ramhorn has continued on and still keeps an eye out for Goateye secretly. In order to keep Sheepcloud safe from more nefarious family dealings, Ramhorn does what they want. They want him to be a great warrior? Then, he was going to do that. He'd become the best warrior alright and one day, he'd expose his father and grandparents for the monsters they are. Vulturepaw had grown into a good warrior as well, becoming Vulturesight for their good eyes at hunting. Ramhorn was very proud of the youngster.

In game history:
At thirty-five moons, he was betrothed to the warrior Palefeather and thus became mates. It seems that not even he could escape that part of his family's tradition regardless of how hard he worked. But he's willing to make it work with her. Shortly after his engagment to Palefeather, Ramhorn was announced as Cougarclan's new deputy when Redsky had died in a hunting patrol. As sad as it was, it was made more so due to Redsky being PAlefeather's older brother. At 41 moons, his patrol had found a injured loner named Iris.
Birchstar said that Iris could stay and recover which made little sense as the she-cat wasn't even seen for more than a few minutes. Ramhorn challenged this choice but Birchstar refused to back down. As misfortunate would have it, Ramhorn was right to question Birchstar's choice. Just a few moons after being there, a group of rogues attacked. Several cats lost their lives, some were injuried, but the rogues were chased out. At the end of it all, Birchstar was left maimed and lost a life. Birchstar choose to return his remaining lives and retire to the elder's den. Thus, Ramhorn would become leader.
It wasn't quite smooth from there though, upon arriving in starclan and getting his nine lives. He learned that Palefeather was giving birth to her kits early and three of them greeted him in STarclan; one of them gave him a life. Unwilling to let all his kits died, he protested STarclan's displeasure of him giving a life up but a starclan cat named Lightstorm, a former medicine cat in a distant time, seemed to approve of this and told him how to do it. Ramstar raced home and after a brief argument with Ashpelt, Ramstar revived one of his kits. His son, Stagkit was given new life.
Personality: (include both positive and negative traits)
Positive: devoted,fierce, social
Negative: blunt, stubborn, critical, vengeful
Ramhorn is a serious and tough tom, he values being able to provide for his clan and puts that on a pedestal above himself. Thus this often rears it's head in his stubbornness and headstrong nature. As he will continue to work even if it's recommended he take a break. His devotion to his clan and the code is a good thing but some can say it is also a bad thing. After all, he priorities the code and clan above himself, there is little thought in regards to himself. He doesn't care about himself. He knows he's just a cog in the machine, a part to keep it going and he's determined to make sure he does more than his fair share to ensure the machine that is his clan, to keep going. Some cats might see this as him being ambitious or just that loyal to what he was raised with.
Considering how harsh and firm his family was, Ramhorn has kept himself to these principles in his warrior life. Of course, he is social like many other clanmates. He can be kind and polite in everyday conversation; sometimes his bluntness shines through and he just says things how they are. But overall, he does like to talk to his clanmates as well. The thing is, he knows he's under pressure from his family to perform and he doesn't wish to slip up. Therefore he tries to dedicate himself more to the clan than himself, as deep down, he's afraid of disappointing them. And he knows that disappoint his family is...not a wise choice to make. And that's something that keeps him up at night deep down.
Secretly, he hates his father's parents and by extent his father as well. He knows how to hide it and pretend all is fine. Under the surface though, he's just waiting for the day for those cats to disappear. After all...they made Goateye disappear, and he'll never forgive them for that.
