Shadowstar/PR

==Personality and traits==
:Prior to leaving on the Sun Trail, Shadowstar, then Tall Shadow, was considered quiet. Gray Wing, a close friend of hers, considered her intelligent and reserved. Gray Wing remarked to himself that she hardly ever spoke. But when she did, she was always worth listening to. Gray Wing also made a comparison between her and her littermate Moon Shadow, asking himself how one litter could produce one intelligent cat and one fuzz-brain. This aspect of her was recognized by Shaded Moss, to whom Shadowstar served as a second-in-command while the group was travelling on the Sun Trail. Following Shaded Moss's death, Shadowstar, despite her grief, took charge of the group, leading the group the rest of the to their destination. She continued to serve as their leader as they made their camp in the new territory, although she held doubts about her leadership, admitting to Gray Wing that she wished Shaded Moss was still around and leader instead of her. She began to develop an insecurity about her leadership, which worsened after several cats began to prefer Gray Wing to her and the injuries her brother Moon Shadow sustained during a fire, eventually passing on the mantle of leadership to him so she could focus on her brother. Following Moon Shadow's death, and Gray Wing's health decline, Tall Shadow had a restored resolve to help, agreeing to help lead the group with Gray Wing. 
:During her tenure as leader on the moor, Shadowstar was wary of outsiders. Although she was curt and polite to Wind and Gorse, she remained suspicious of the two rogues; Gray Wing lamented to himself that it would take a lot to change her mind about outsiders. Despite this, however, she confided in Gray Wing about Clear Sky taking in outsiders, and asked for his opinion in allowing Wind and Gorse into their group; something that surprised the dark gray tom. She told her friend that while she is considering letting the two join, with her instincts telling her to not be hasty in letting strangers join their ranks. 
:Shadowstar was also short-tempered, easily getting annoyed and would snap at others should they push her patience. Quiet Rain remarked that Shadowstar got her temper from her late father. Her short patience was often pushed by her brother Moon Shadow. Although she loved him, she often got annoyed with his outspoken and boastful nature, frequently reprimanding him and snapping at her brother.

==Relationships==
===Gray Wing===
:Gray Wing and Shadowstar were close, and could arguably be considered best friends. Having known one another since kithood, both cats held a strong friendship together, often confiding in their doubts and thoughts. Gray Wing thought highly of her, considering her intelligent and always worth listening to as well as brilliant at strategy. When Shadowstar, then Tall Shadow, mentioned that Shaded Moss appointed her as his successor to lead the group, Gray Wing doubted she would lie. Their friendship strengthened as Clear Sky and Moon Shadow, the two cats' brothers respectively, left to live in the forest. Tall Shadow asked for Gray Wing's opinion on them, revealing to him that she was considering letting Wind and Gorse, two rogues, join their group. A statement that surprised Gray Wing, as he knew she was wary and suspicious of outsiders. She also admitted to him that she wished Shaded Moss were still leader, as he always knew what to do. Gray Wing told the black she-cat that they should trust their instincts, advice that Tall Shadow took. She continued to confide in her friend about her status as leader, asking if he ever doubted her leadership, even saying that she wouldn't blame him if he was dissatisfied with how she runs the camp. She told him that perhaps she should let Wind Runner take over, seeing how many cats were already displeased with her own leadership as it was. Gray Wing denied any thoughts about wanting to replace her as leader. When Shattered Ice and Hawk Swoop admitted their preference for Gray Wing to lead the group, Gray Wing silently pleaded for Tall Shadow to stand up for herself, despite the black she-cat too angry and appalled to comment on the revelation. Gray Wing defended her from Shattered Ice, but the gray-and-white tom refused to back down, still vouching for Gray Wing, which further enraged Tall Shadow, and as she stalked off from the argument, she flashed Gray Wing a look of accusation, which hurt the dark gray tom.
:Gray Wing continued to defend his friend's leadership, refusing to let her be undermined and reminding the group that she had led them since Shaded Moss's death. Though, he did wish that she had not stormed out of the conversation so early, as she could have listened to some of the ideas and complaints from other cats. Despite Gray Wing's best attempts to assure Tall Shadow he had no intention of wanting to replace her, the damage had been done. Tall Shadow began to develop doubts about how she led, confiding in Gray Wing, who noticed that she didn't seem to be able to trust herself to make the right decisions anymore. She went on, apologizing for being distant with him, but admitted that it was hard to speak with him knowing that other cats want him as leader instead. Her doubts grew until eventually passing on leadership outright to Gray Wing in the aftermath of the fire in the forest; an event that severely injured Moon Shadow, and Tall Shadow felt it was her duty to help him. Gray Wing tried to protest, arguing that she was the most qualified and had led them before, Tall Shadow asked if Gray Wing can't see how tired she is, and simply asked her friend to not rub her nose in the fact. But as Gray Wing's health deteriorated, and Tall Shadow began to work past her grief for Moon Shadow following his death, the two agreed to lead the group together, recognizing the threat in Clear Sky and that they were stronger together. 
:After Clear Sky rejected his son Thunder, Gray Wing brought the kit to Tall Shadow. The green-eyed she-cat was unsure to let the young kit stay. Gray Wing told his leader that if she won't accept Thunder, then she'll lose him too. Tall Shadow was shocked and assured him that there wasn't any need for that, clearly not willing to lose her friend, and ultimately decided to let Thunder stay. Upon realizing that Moon Shadow was dying, Gray Wing tried to comfort Tall Shadow, claiming that he would get better. Tall Shadow told him to not say that. Later that night, Moon Shadow died, and Gray Wing stayed at his friend's side, helping her carry his body out for burial. Gray Wing made a brief eulogy for the tom, but was disappointed to see that Tall Shadow had already stalked off, not hearing his words. Then, however, Gray Wing's son Owl Eyes went missing, he asked the black she-cat for help. Tall Shadow immediately accepted, refusing to let her friend's adopted kit possibly die.

===Moon Shadow===
:Moon Shadow was Tall Shadow's brother. They were very different from one another—while Tall Shadow is quiet and intelligent, Moon Shadow is more immature and outspoken. Tall Shadow was quick to rush in and help her brother when he was being attacked by vicious kittypets. When he boasted about catching two squirrels, Tall Shadow scolded him for going out hunting alone, and he snapped back at her. Later on, he challenged her authority again because he wanted to hunt in the woods, claiming all she ever does is order them around. Tall Shadow grew frustrated with him for arguing again and again. When the group held a vote and Moon Shadow was among the few wanting to leave the territory to hunt elsewhere, Tall Shadow was saddened and told him he could come back whenever he wanted.
:Tall Shadow helped put out the flames that had caught Moon Shadow during the forest fire. She was terrified for him, but tried to keep him safe from further damage. When he failed to properly respond to her, Tall Shadow attempted to comfort him and nuzzled him affectionately. She stuck by his side even as he ordered others to jump over the wall of fire and escape. When Gray Wing and Thunder urged her to flee so they could help Moon Shadow, she made them promise to save him. She entrusted Gray Wing with leadership, seeing as she was dedicating all her time to care for Moon Shadow. She was essentially glued to his side, and she grieved for him when he succumbed to his injuries and helped bury him.
