— peppershade
Peppershade is a silver-gray she-cat with black tabby markings and dull, green eyes. She used to be bratty, however now she is quite full of regret and feels guilty, making her distant towards the members of her Clan and much more interested in those outside of SkyClan's borders. She currently resides in SkyClan with her twin brother, Saltbreeze.

==Personality==
===Traits===
* +  Witty - When Pepperpaw is not around cats that she does not trust or induce anxiety, she'll normally make witty, or somewhat sarcastic remarks around her friends, normally if she wants to cheer them up or have a small laugh with them.
* +  Caring - Although it may not seem like it, Pepperpaw is actually very caring towards her friends and family; her witty remarks are trying to get them to cheer up, although she is not the best at understanding some things. If one of her friends are hurt mentally or physically, she instantly becomes concerned about them.
* +  Quick-Learner - ...
* +  Creative - Pepperpaw is secretly a basic white girl.
* ±  Easily Suspicious - When Pepperpaw meets a new cat, especially from another Clan, she'll usually stay away from them, mainly because she does not trust them and does not know if they have anything bad they are planning, mainly if it's for her. This normally causes her to avoid this cat.
* ±  Introverted - Pepperpaw is a social introvert, meaning she prefers to stay in a small group of friends, rather than make new ones. At Gatherings, it is very rare for her to start talking with an unfamiliar cat, and if she does, she'd come off as awkward.
* ±  Distant - Pepperpaw will often come off as distant, normally when she's tired, just got out of a huge mood swing, or stopped crying over something. She will be somewhat emotionless and seem to not care about anything.
* −  Dishonest - Pepperpaw will normally lie about something, usually to get her out of trouble with her mentor, friends, or even Clan. Though it sometimes may backfire, she will do it anyway, and hope that it won't. Pepperpaw likes to keep her image "clean."
* −  Moody - Pepperpaw is a very moody she-cat, which means she can go from happy, to easily annoyed in a second. She doesn't know why, but sometimes she'll have sudden outbursts of gloominess because of this, and it gets on some cats' nerves.
* -  Rude - Pepperpaw has a tendency to act rude around cats she dislikes. As a result, she normally ends up feeling guilty and nervous later, but that does not stop her from making such comments.
* -  Envious - ...
* -  Possessive - ...
* -  Self-Anxious - ...
===Likes===
*Mice
**Mice have a prideful place in her heart, being the first prey she ever caught, not to mention she also likes the prey in general because of it's flavor.
*Canopping
**Even though Pepperpaw is not the greatest at canopping (canopy-hopping), she still enjoys it and views it as a faster way of travel, even if it is viewed as dangerous by some.
*Battle Training
**Pepperpaw enjoys battle training much more than hunting training, mainly because it gives her action and keeps her entertained, unlike hunting training.
*Crown-Making
**When Pepperpaw started making crowns, she kind of got obsessed to the activity. She will sometimes go into the Twolegplace and collect flowers from a specific Twoleg garden. She is very proud of one of her crowns, which has daisies, tulips, and lilies, all different colors.
===Dislikes===
*Strangers
**Pepperpaw does not trust strangers, at all. She prefers to stay away from them, mainly because they all seem suspicious to her, even if they actually aren't. She just likes to play it safe.
*Spiders
**Pepperpaw not only dislikes spiders, but has a fear for them. Not only do they look strange to her, but she also has a problem with telling whether or not the spiders are poisonous ones or not, and does not like them crawling on her.
*Canines
**Pepperpaw dislikes and fears canines; she dislikes them because of their terrible scent, intimidating demeanor and seemingly bloodthirsty behavior. She does not like to be anywhere near a canine, especially a fox.
*Socializing
**When at Gatherings, Pepperpaw will normally be seen hovering around her friends or her twin brother, Saltpaw. Normally, she does not know what to say to the unfamiliar cats, and they have also not gained her trust yet.
===Goals===
*Reach Deputyship
**Although this goal may seem power-hungry, Pepperpaw is interested in becoming deputy of her Clan, and possibly even Leader one day. She doesn't have an actual reason for it, though.
*Have kits
**Before Pepperpaw may become Deputy, she'd like to have kits first, just so that she'd be able to start a family inside her Clan that would live on.
*Make her father proud
**While Pepperpaw was grieving over Smokeyspots' death, she vows to herself that she would do something to make him proud of her; something great.
===Fears===
*Cynophobia
**Cynophobia is the fear of dogs. This fear is pretty straightforward, it just means she is afraid of canines, and will most likely seek shelter if one comes in her or her Clan's path. She is intimidated by their seemingly bloodthirsty behavior and intimidating demeanor, and would rather not cross one of the bigger dog's path.
*Arachnophobia
**Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders. Pepperpaw does not like these, not only because some are poisonous and she can't identify them, but also how she sometimes can't tell if one is on her or not.

*Cloudshine reveals to Smokeyspots that she cannot take care of Pepperkit and Saltkit any longer, handing the two twins over to Smokeyspots. He brings the two to SkyClan, and the resemblance between the three makes it obvious they are family.
*The rest of Pepperkit's and Saltkit's kithood is being nursed by queens, without much interaction with their father.

*Pepperpaw is introduced to her "adoptive family" and is not happy about it at all.

*Pepperpaw starts avoiding Dapplepaw and Rabbitpaw after noticing how much they act like mates.
*Pepperpaw sneaks a WindClan tom into SkyClan territory, making her confined to camp until the next Gathering. However, while she is running away from Olivepaw, Olivepaw jumps near her branch and causes her to fall, which breaks her leg when she is unable to successfully land.
