General Description
Hailkit is a white tom with one black paw. His good eye is blue, but his other eye was damaged by a rogue. It is milky white, with a scar running over it.

He was apprenticed to Breezestorm, then Ravenwing.

History
He was born to Shimmertail and Frostfang. He was always a bit of a shy kit, and when others touched him, he felt strange prickling on his pelt. Because of his anxiety, some felt he wasn't ready to be apprenticed. Not wanting to let his sister down, he went into the forest, hoping to catch prey to prove himself. Instead, he ran into Maelstrom and was nearly killed, losing one of his eyes and recieving other injuries. Cedarwhisker raced to save him and was killed before Hailkit blacked out. The kit was left to die by Maelstrom and found by TacoClan cats later. They managed to save him, but when he awoke he found that whenever cats touched him, he was assualted by a feeling like ants biting his pelt, images from his attack, and overriding fear, which causes him to lash out. He was still given to Breezestorm as an apprentice, but it's unknown if he will be able to suceed with his condition.

He had another incident with Honeypaw, when he struck her after she touched him. Snowheart talked to him and experimented with his issues, trying to figure them out. He advised Hailpaw to alert Wolfstar and Breezestorm to his handicap, which he did. Hailpaw managed to have a successful hunting trip with Breezestorm, although his leaps are incredibly messy due to his lack of depth perception, since he only has one eye. He shared his catch with Honeypaw, to make up for his earlier outburst.

He was torn when Thunderpaw, his best friend, revealed that he had killed Spiderpaw, but ended up forgiving him during the final battle with Maelstrom, wherein Thunderpaw nearly died. Before the battle, he had one last conversation with his father, who urged him to be brave. He carried this thought with him into battle, eventually confronting Maelstorm, and blinding him.
