Shellstar

Shellstar is a big dark gray tabby tom.
==Description==
===Physical===
Shellstar is a tom of impressive proportions, although his amount of fur certainly adds to this "imposing character" aspect. He comes with a particularly muscular physique, as can be expected of a leader who has spent moons defending his clan from resilient rogues. Yet, the brawn that the leader would proudly exhibit is difficult to distinguish underneath all of his thick, heavy fur. Regardless, his presence as a large cat makes up for whatever his coat may hide underneath. Still, his ears are tattered from fights with outsiders that have cost him several lives. He wears these scars well- he claims that it adds to the "roguishly handsome" vibe that his mate fell for. 
NightClan's leader is covered in a heavy coat of long, dark-gray fur. His coat is thick, which does seem to be somewhat beneficial in combat because it adds an extra layer of protection against claws. However, what Shellstar would be classified as is something that is up in the air- he has faint silvery undertones to his fur, most notably to his lion-like ruff. It would seem that the tom is a blue smoke, however, his ghost stripes are particularly dark and defined, as if he's just a regular classic tabby.
===Personality===
[DRAFT] Shellstar is considered an extroverted character. The young tom has always been somewhat of the "life of the party" up until he became leader and his life became grave. Although he's not as outgoing as he once was, the tom remains kind towards his clanmates and eager to hear what they have to say. He likes having company. Shellstar has since grown very repsonsible, considering his mate was recently ambushed and killed by rogues, and the local rogues took all but two of his lives as well. He has somewhat of a grave outlook on life at the moment, but finds happiness in the light of his dear, only son, Beetlekit.
==History==
===Background===
He was living the dream as an apprentice, being one of the most popular apprentices at his time. He was somewhat of a jokestar and was known for taking up a reckless streak that made him attractive to his young clanmates, and a nuisance to the senior warriors. He didn't take much seriously as an apprentice, but as a warrior, Shellstrike won the heart of his clanmates and remained as one of NightClan's most popular warriors. 
It was this popularity that caused Shellstrike to earn the position of deputy- not hard duty, but favoritism among the clan. The senior warriors were enraged, but were left with little to nothing to do about the situation. Reality finally struck the social tom when Flowercreek asked to become his mate, and he accepted her offer.
It was not long after that he settled down with Flowercreek when Shellstrike was abruptly made leader. He settled into a more responsible attitude and became set on protecting NightClan from the infiltrating rogues. It was to this "pest problem" that the leader lost several lives to. He became even more frantic when Flowercreek announced that she was expecting his kittens. He was overjoyed to be a father, but felt that he wouldn't be a good influence on his kits. He wanted to be better, for them. 
Not long after his only son, Beetlekit, was born, camp was ambushed by rogues and Shellstar's beloved Flowercreek was murdered. Since then, he has been significantly more aggressive in seeking out the rouges and exacting his revenge. As a result, he is now down to only 2 more lives. Shellstar now carries a grave attitude, in compared to his once reckless self: not only does he fear for his clan, but for his son. Beetlekit is already without his mother, what would become of the kit if he lost his father as well?

Flowercreek
:The she-cat was his moon and stars before she passed. For several moons in his youth, he thought of himself a charming bachelor that would never settle down. At least, until he met Flowercreek, and fell head-over-heels for the young warrior. He mourns for her regularly since her sudden death, and will stop at nothing to avenge her.
