Description
Eyes are a grassy green that sparkle brightly in the sunlight. Whiskers white. Pawpads are black just as well as his nose and the rest of him. His back and sides are basically covered in scars from all the battles and simple quarrels he has been in and his left ear is slightly torn. His shoulders are broad and strong like his legs. He can leap high and far and can easily take down a cat, but he doesn't let any of that go to his head.
Characteristics/Personality
Like many other deputies, he's honest, loyal, and brave. He's a good hunter but an even better fighter. He's confident and thinks before he acts. He is a bit eager to be leader but he can wait the hopefully many moons until then. He is always aware of his surroundings and always has his ears pricked, listening for any disturbance beyond and on territory or even in the wind. He's mysterious, strange, and a bit secretive. No one knows of his past, he never talked about it or brought it up himself. Everyone always is making up their own past for him, but very few have been even close. He enjoys the rain and it's sound, it soothes him to his soul no matter what's on his mind.
Background Information
Nightfur, a beautiful, young she-cat as most described her. A warrior who was way in over her head at times. In the clan she was fairly popular. She flirted with just about all the toms, yes, one of those types. But she never actually thought of settling down and having a happy family, at least not until she had met Shadowfur's father, Shade. He was a loner; a forbidden love it was. Almost every night they had met in secret. It wasn't long before Nightfur was expecting. Knowing that if she went back to camp someone was bound to notice, she ran away into the forest with Shade. After a few moons of complete happiness, the kits were born, but not before the sudden disappearance of Shade. He had gone hunting for the two but he had never come back.
In an old badger's den on GlowClan, her old home, territory, she had given birth to two daughters and one son. One daughter died at her birth. Shadow's mother took care of her two surviving kits and buried Hazel, so much grief in her eyes. She lost her mate, a daughter, and all the trust of her clan friends. Soon, Nightfur died and the two kits were found by a hunting patrol of GlowClan. They were nursed by a lovely white queen and after six moons, became apprentices even though many of the cats thought of their mother as a traitor, but still, they never blamed the kits for what Nightfur had done. The queen that had taken care of them for those six moons treated them as if these black kits were her own.
Shadowpaw trained and hunted very well; he learned impossibly fast. At the age of 11 moons his sister ran off to be a loner while her brother stayed in the clan. He liked it there, it was his home now, more than that actually, it felt as if he belonged there somehow. Almost every day he could sense the deputy watching him. He kept thinking that the deputy didn't trust him but really it was because he/she was thinking of someday of choosing him as deputy when he/she became leader. Two moons later he had gotten his warrior name, Shadowfur. As the moons passed he got more and more friends in and outside of the clan; he remained loyal to GlowClan. He was now 27 moons old and the leader had just recently died of his old age, cats were mourning over their dead leader and the time kept creeping closer to moonhigh, when the new deputy would be chosen. Nobody was for sure on who would be the new deputy, glances were being cast everywhere, and surprisingly sometimes at him. The deputy, now leader, was standing in front of the crowd of cats. He was most doubtful of being chosen, so, he stood and began to pad over to the warriors' den. He wasn't paying attention to the leader when he heard his name;
"Shadowfur."
He didn't know what was happening, most of the clan suddenly came over to him while others just walked away. He still didn't know what was happening until he actually paid attention to the cats around him.
"Congrats!"
"Good luck!"
"You'll make a great deputy."
Suddenly everything made sense. He glanced at one of the cats that had walked away. He was obviously still not fully trusted in the clan. He ignored them, he would prove himself later.
Four moons have past and more cats have begun to trust him and he's been living a great life. So far....
RPing
As the rain started to pour down, a cat sat in a tree, not very well protected from the water. The tom's eyes stared blankly up at the sky. He kept thinking, what is to happen now? It's been awfully quiet for the past few moons, which was highly odd. Never before has Shadowfur seen such peace in the forest. Not even the smallest of a commotion was happening, yet he could sense something approaching, something dangerous, something strangely eerie. But, what is it? He's pondered and pondered over it for the past few days. Nothing extreme would come to his mind. Dog attack? No. Twolegs? Maybe, but I doubt it. What is it!? He sighed. A fire? Still doubting. It felt way off, many more moons to come, but the clan has to be ready. Does anyone else sense it? He thought about it for a moment. No, they couldn't have. They would have told the leader or me, wouldn't they?
Then again, I haven't told anyone.
He listened closely to the rain and its sound. He let it soothe him, let it clear his mind for the moment. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He felt the rain on his fur. Let it soothe and calm him.
