The cat shown in the picture is, of course, Shadowfall as a young apprentice. He has since then grown into a tall warrior, his legs holding him aloft. He is a lean tom, but not lacking strength. Of course, agility and speed are what he is built for, and if he had to face a brute Shadowclanner in battle he would have a struggle. His muscles look wimpy, but he is faster than he looks.

His pelt is of a black hue. The only blemishes of white are on his neck, chest, front paws, belly, and part of his hind quarters. Yes, this means he's what is called a tuxedo cat. His eyes are sharp and vivid green. His fur is longer than most Windclan cats, but that doesn't bother him. He keeps it well groomed all the time.

AND TELL ALL THE ONES YOU LOVE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU FEEL

Shadowfall isn't one of those big giant teddy bears. Oh no. He's a tough hard ass type of guy. He doesn't like to show his emotions whatsoever. He thinks that is a weakness, and weakness isn't to be tolerated. He learned that from his father, whom he admired with all his heart. He looks up to Lightstar, too, seeing as he is the leader. And Light is blunt, mean, and all around emotionless - just what Shadow aspires to be. At least, on the outside, that's what he wants to portray. He's a determined soul with great ambition. He's stubborn and strong-willed. His minds not easily changed at all. His bright eyes betray his true emotions. He's kept in so many secrets, so much hurt, that it's darkened his mind toward the worst.

However, Shadow isn't all bad ass. He has a soft spot for kits. Something about their cute, innocent eyes make his stone heart melt. He also has a soft spot for the underdog. He, being so massive, protects the weak and lowly. He always has, and always will. He has a strong sense of duty and loyalty, something that will never leave his heart. Once he's committed to something - or someone - he's in it for the long haul. He refuses to give up, he refuses to lose. Understand, he's not emotionless. He does have emotions, and they are very potent and swirling around in his head. He just chooses not to act upon them. He chooses to hide them.

WISH WE COULD GO BACK AND SAVE THE CHILD

h i s t o r y

Ravenscream and Snowspring had three boy kits on a cold winters day. They were new warriors, only 19 moons old, but that did not stop them. They had been in love since they were apprentices. And so when they found out they had three boys, Ravenscream almost died of heart attack. She just knew it would be hard, that they would be trouble, and oh how they were. As soon as they could walk and talk the three boys never stopped or slowed down. They were always going, always exploring, always breaking the rules and the boundaries that had been set. Shadow was the enforcer, the one the other two went to if they were having problems with another kit. Ebony was the leader, the smart, composed, logical, but sensitive and empathetic one. He was the one coming up with plans to sastify his craving for knowledge and the lust for exploration. Kite, now kite was the black sheep. He was shy, mostly because he had troubles with his speech. He would slur his words and stutter severely. It was for this reason that most kits picked on him, including his own brothers. Raven encourages them to be nice, but boys will be boys.

As the trio became apprentices, they still did not separate. Shadow became more and more protective of Kitepaw, striving to be like his father. When their father died of rabies, this instinct became even stronger. As the moons went on, Shadow and Ebony began to separate. Shadow chased girls while Ebony chased knowledge. Kite stuck close to Shadow because he made him popular, but even Shadow was prone to have his bad days.

One summer day was just that. He and Kitepaw and a girl were walking, and Shadow kept trying to get rid of his brother. He wanted to be alone with her, and Kite would not have it. As the day was coming to a close, Shadow snapped. He told Kite to beat it, that his stuttering idiot brain was not welcome here. Tears in his eyes, Kite left. When Shadow got back to camp, his brother wasn't there. He told Ebony what happened, but assured him that Kite would be back within a couple days.

Kite never returned. With the disappearance of his brother weighing on his shoulders, he never told his mother or the clan the truth. The only ones who knew was him and Ebony. Shadow settled down after that, focusing on his training and becoming the hard ass he is today.

When him and Ebony became warriors, they became closer to each other and to their mother. She was not the kind of mother to say I love you and shower you with love, but she showed it in her own unique ways. Then something happened, Ebony changed shortly after they received their warrior names. He became distant and far away. He tried to act normal, but failed miserably. He never told Shadow what happened, mostly because Shadow never asked. His brother soon got out of his funk and returned to his old self, and Shadow suspected it was a girl. But he still doesn't really know.

But by far the most important thing that ever happened in his life was meeting lilacwhisper. She was beautiful and smart, and soon fell in love with the bad boy routine that Shadow had going for him. They had kits at a young age also, 20 moons. Except Lilac gave birth to two boys and a girl. Raven was beside herself. Lilac let Raven raise Clover, seeing as she has always wanted a girl. And the two boys were just like their father, mischievous and exhausting. Shadow had a rough time keeping them contained. When their kits were apprentices, just 7 moons old, Lilacwhisper went out on a patrol and never came back. She was attacked by a dog and died saving Ebonyheart. Shadow was tore up inside and out. She was the only she-cat he ever had true feelings for, and no one could ever take her place. It wasn't too bad, though, because he had Clover, Wheat, and Dust to keep her memory alive in him.

Cloverpaw became Clovergale. Wheatpaw became Wheatfrost, and Dustpaw became Dustfury. They are young warriors now, part of the tightly knit family Ravenscream started.
