Sun Shadow

Sun Shadow is a sleek, slender black tom with amber eyes.
Sun Shadow was the first deputy of ShadowClan under Shadowstar's leadership in the forest territories. He was born to Moon Shadow and Dewy Leaf along with his siblings, Crow Muzzle and Dancing Leaf in the ancient Tribe. His father had left with several other cats to find a new home, and together with Quiet Rain, Sun Shadow left to find Moon Shadow. Sun Shadow discovered his father had died, but found peace with his aunt, Tall Shadow, in her camp. When she was named leader of ShadowClan, she named Sun Shadow her deputy. He died saving Shadowstar from dogs, and ascended to StarClan afterwards where he finally met Moon Shadow. Raven Pelt succeeded him as deputy. 
==History==
===Dawn of the Clans===
:Sun Shadow is born to Moon Shadow and Dewy Leaf along with his siblings, Crow Muzzle and Dancing Leaf. Sun Shadow is a spitting image of his father, and the only surviving member of his litter. Before he was born, his father left with several other Tribemates to journey to find a new home. His mother never forgives Moon Shadow for leaving them, and she instead finds a new family with Sharp Hail and their kits, Melting Ice, Falling Dusk, and Morning Star. Sun Shadow longs for his father, and believes he would be proud of him, unlike Sharp Hail who constantly lectures him for leaving the cave. 
:As punishment for his latest excursion, Sharp Hail orders Sun Shadow to take care of Stoneteller. As she lays dying, Stoneteller encourages the young kit to leave the Tribe and search for his father, knowing he would never truly be happy in the mountains. Sun Shadow leaves the mountains that night and is quickly followed by Quiet Rain, who joins him on his quest. The two travel for many moons until they arrive at the forest and run into Thunder. Thunder takes them to Tall Shadow, Moon Shadow's littermate, and on the way, he informs Sun Shadow that his father had died. Sun Shadow grieves for the father he will never get to know, but finds a new home with Tall Shadow and her group.
