Spiderstar II

== Description ==
Spiderstar is the leader of ShadowClan. He is a small, long-legged tom with a solid black fur coat and hazy red eyes. He has a distinctive tear in his right ear, as well as a long scar down his flank. His tail is crooked at the tip and he favors his back leg when he walks. Because of his fast-paced way of living, he is often too busy to take care of himself and comes across as a very raggedy, sickly cat. 
== Personality ==
Spiderbat is a snappy, irritable warrior that is friendly only with his close clanmates. He has a strong distaste towards the other clans and outsiders, even if they are allied with ShadowClan. Spiderbat distrusts and despises half-clan cats, even though he is one himself.
 The ShadowClan Deputy is quiet, preferring to only talk to others if it has to do with his duties towards the clan. He can be friendly towards his close clanmates but only if he gets to know them over time. The tom has a dry and dark sense of humour, most of his remarks coming off as sarcastic or not jokes at all. 
== Early life ==
Spiderbat was kitted by a temporary ShadowClan warrior named Blackwidow. As a loner, Widow had often drifted near the clans, and hoved her way into the clan, proving to be a good hunter and fighter for the clan. Rookwing, the Shadowclan Deputy, caught her eye. Her relationship formed with Rookwing, and a couple moons later she became pregnant with kits. She left Shadowclan a moon into her pregnancy, not telling Rookwing about their kits. 
A moon or so after leaving the clans, she kitted two kits, Shrew and Spider. Widow had no interest in being a mother to the two, but she saw them as too weak to be accepted into the mighty clan of warriors she had been in before. She weaned them quickly and a moon or two after they were born, began training them. Mostly fighting, and having them hunt for themselves, ect. Shrew and Spider stuck together during these times, however Spider always wanted to prove himself to his mother, whether that meant winning in sparring against his sister at any costs or stealing her prey. He was a small weak kit, but the stronger of the two.
Right before they turned four moons old, Shrew and Spider's training was at its peak. Widow was planning letting them leave for the clans soon, or go off on their own. Her training had been to give them a chance at clan life, but she didn't care if they ended up in the clans, as long as they were out of her fur. However one night, training got difficult as Widow tested her children in sparring. Shrew fell behind in the match which only made Widow her daughter further. Eventually, Spider had to choose between his mother and his sister, as Shrew was barely able to continue fighting. He jumped in front of the two, and sparred his mother, getting a good scratch to her eye to make her back off. Widow cursed the two kits and told them she would kill them if she saw them again, before running off into the night. Sadly, Shrew died of her injuries that night with her brother by her side. 
Spider knew he couldn't just stay where they had been living. Widow had told him about the clans, and about their father, Rookwing. By four moons, he finally came upon Shadowclan. He was found by a patrol with a broken tail and a fractured back leg, and taken into the clan. There he saw Rookstar.. the tom cat looked similar to his sister, and after being visited by the leader in the medicine den, he asked if the leader was Rookwing.. One thing led to another and Rookstar discovered Spider was his illegitimate son.
