Name: Shadepaw
Age (in moons): 7 moons (apprentice)
Gender: Tom
Allegiance: SandClan
Appearance: Shadepaw is a young cat shaping up to be slightly larger than average in build. He was born a little out of proportion, with a set of wildly overgrown paws and a lengthy tail that boosts his balance, but as he grows he's evening out. Slowly but surely the clumsiness of his days as a kitten are being replaced by sure-footed agility, thanks to his progressing warrior training. His fur is solid black, hence his name, and his eyes are yellow.
Personality: He's not an air-headed cat, but his overt friendliness and easy-going nature sometimes gives him the appearance of one. He's actually rather smart and was always the instigator of trouble as kit. Shadepaw's mischief-making days will likely never be over as he has too much fun with the reactions, but he has toned his pranks down quite a bit. He's the type of cat that enjoys lightening any situation by cracking a joke, and calls most cats by 'friend' even if they're complete strangers. He's trusting, almost to the point of naivety, but only of those he believes have earned it. Once he feels any cat has proven its loyalty, they'll be hard pressed to get rid of Shadepaw. In that respect he's clingy, and won't often let go of a friend he's made. He will defend his clan, his friends, and his family with his life.
He's not selfless though - his possessiveness of his allies is due to his fear of being abandoned. Loneliness is his worst enemy, which is why he tries to make a friend out of almost anyone. Ridicule and mockery are things he appears to let slide off his shoulders, but he never forgets the taunts. His grudges are terribly long lasting things as well, and if he sees an opportunity for revenge he will take it nine times out of ten.
History: Shadepaw's upbringing was average. His parents were supportive in the usual way, though his mother was a little clingy and his father was distant. He liked stirring up trouble from the moment he realized he could and his thirst for adventure was insatiable. That combination led him into many an unwarranted adventure but he always came back in one piece. Usually, anyway.
As a kit, all Shadepaw wanted was freedom. Like most kits, he wanted to experience the thrill of the hunt and the adrenaline rush of battle. He's never been a serious thinker so logically he never understood what a terror those things could be. He played with his fellow kits and was relatively well-liked. He did get into a few scuffles about 'who would be the leader' when they were older though. The fights never lasted more than half a day, of course.
As an apprentice, Shadepaw has come to face some of the realities of his naive dreams as a kit. He's grown more responsible in some ways but he's still got a long way to go, and a number of lessons to learn. Nowadays he doubts he'll ever be a leader, but he does want to support his clan the best he can through their difficult times.
