⚠️ Spoilers for Crookedstar's Promise and Bluestar's Prophecy within!
Personality: From his earliest memory, Crookedkit - then Stormkit - has been ambitious, energetic, and a troublemaker. No border could hold him, no warrior could scold him, and like many young kits he determined quickly that he was going to one day be a legendary leader of RiverClan. His mother's adoration and high expectations for him and his brother fostered a thriving ego, though his brother and his older denmates were always eager to compete with him. As he grew and began to encounter the mysterious specter Mapleshade, her encouragements and promises of grand destiny would only serve to further feed his self-importance and his boldness. While this is of course a flaw for him as it often is for most, and happens to be a major contributing factor to the injury that changed his life, it also becomes something of a lifeline for him. His boldness makes him self-sufficient enough that, even in the face of his mother's hatred and rejection, he's able to not only pick himself up and carry on, but to continue to make bold choices. Not just any cat of such a young age, on the heels of such trauma, would choose to venture alone out of camp, never mind to go as far afield as Highstones.
As much as he does think highly of himself, though, Crookedkit is still very much a family cat. It's his persistent care for others and the sheer amount of love he has to give to those around him that ultimately renders Mapleshade's plotting useless. She worms her way into his heart and drags him through sorrow after sorrow, but even when Crookedstar himself succumbs to disease he remains assured that he is loved because throughout his life he loved others. It is this warmth and care for others that defines most first impressions of him in peaceful circumstances; even Bluestar was taken aback by his friendliness to complete strangers when they first met at the first Gathering she ever attended.
Crookedkit's love and pride meet to create extreme loyalty as well. If his openness and friendliness with Bluepaw was a surprise, his ferocity when they first encountered each other as enemies was an absolute shock. His boldness shines just as much when carrying himself as a protector of his Clan as it does when confronted with the unfamiliar, driving him to fight hard and never turn his back on his own. Even Rainflower, who turns so cruelly on him after his injury, he never gives up on mending things with. He strives for the betterment of his whole family and his whole Clan, even when confronted with rejection and discord. RiverClan is everything to him throughout his entire life, even when his promise to Mapleshade causes strife and tension for outsiders. It's not entirely clear in the text how much of Crookedstar's devotion to RiverClan stems from that promise, but even before he makes it there is almost nothing that comes before his Clan in his eyes.
Much of Crookedstar's character, however, is naturally shaped by the events of his life in the Clans - in coming to the pokemon world so young, there is every possibility that he will grow in very different ways, especially without Mapleshade's abuse clouding his mind. Though there is little doubt that wherever his adventures may go, Crookedkit's fierce passion and tremendous heart will have plenty of room to grow and thrive here, alongside all the crucial life lessons, relationships, and experiences that Mapleshade would have taken from him.
