Nightshadow

[Nightshadow]

Name: Nightshadow

Gender: Tom

Age: 38 moons

Desired Rank: Hm... Leader or deputy? If not, I'm completely fine with just warrior ^^

Desired Clan: FrozenClan

Physical Description:
Nightshadw has a very lithe figure, despite his being born and raised in FrozenClan. Naturally, he enjoys running very much, and it keeps him thin. His legs are muscular as are his haunches and shoulders. Regardless, he's light on his feet and very good at sneaking.

The tom's fur is black as the night sky during the night of a new moon, minus the stars. It's medium in length, and rather soft. He grooms it every single day before he goes to rest. Nightshadow's whiskers are quite long, and he has tufts of fur on the tips of his ears.

His eyes are large and a unique shade of blue. They're almost gray, but blue is definitely noticeable. They stick out against the black canvas that is his fur, and are usually filled with gloom.

Personality:
Generally, Nightshadow is very nice. He hates hurting others' feelings, and it doesn't happen often.

The tom is of a taciturn disposition and doesn't speak unless spoken to. He's quiet when he does talk, and doesn't say much. Most of the time you'll find him hunting alone or alone in camp, eyes shadowed with a permanent unhappiness.

Often times you'll see him as very insecure. He's very wary of what others around him think, and it makes him quite nervous. However, a single compliment really can brighten him for the rest of the day, and it makes him feel proud and much better about himself.

Nightshadow is shy when you first meet him as well. At gatherings, he usually sits by himself in a shaded corner and listens intently. He rather appreciates his personality, though. He feels that being so far back in the shadows can really let him know about others. The tom is very observant, and hardly misses a thing.

Character's Past:
Nightshadow himself doesn't entirely know why he's sad most of the time. He assumes it was because of the tragic death of his beloved mother he witnessed himself.

He was born in FrozenClan, a lively, happy kit with no siblings. He never knew his father, and never asked his mother about it. When he became an apprentice, he was quite excited.

During a hunting patrol, he had to witness his mother being slaughtered by a desperate rogue. His mother told him to flee, so he hid in a nearby bush, but the rogue beat her and killed her mercilessly, just to claim the minor prey they had captured. Completely shocked, he ran back to FrozenClan, and hasn't been the same ever since.

For the rest of his apprenticeship, Nightpaw was not very enthusiastic about training. Everyone in the Clans seemed to notice, as well. They grew worried, and every time they tried to talk to him about it, he just said he was fine and walked away. Regardless, he trained enough to make it to warrior.

As a warrior, Nightshadow's major skills were hunting. He had never really noticed the way his mentor taught him after the tragedy he watched. But his mentor felt that since Nightshadow was so quiet now, he'd make a fine, stealthy, and crafty hunter, and didn't worry so much about battling.

Notes: Hum. Nothing I can think of! ^^

It'd be nice if you could add on a bit to the personality like you did for your description, maybe a tinyyyy bit more in the history. But otherwise it looks really good! Once you add a bit more to those and I say that it looks much better you can choose whether he's a leader or a deputy and I'll add him to the ranks. :3


Edit: Accepted as leader.
