Shade

Shade is an unusually large, fluffy fawn tom, with black tabby stripes, white paws and a white splash on chest, black ear tufts, and dark green eyes.
== Personality ==
Shade is quiet, shy, and very anxious. He speaks with a stutter, and is very fearful of strangers, to the point of which he is terrified of encountering a cat he's never seen before. Shade is scared of everything, and is a well-known crybaby, bursting into tears if he gets scared or anxious- which is very often. He prefers solitude than to being in a crowd; however, he is very comfortable and happy around his family. Shade is clingy, and if he eventually manages to open up to somebody and make a new friend, it'll be pretty hard to avoid him. Shade, oftentimes, needs a shoulder to cry on, and while he's embarrassed whenever he cries in public, when he's near his family he has no problem sobbing out all of his problems, whether it's his mother or his siblings that he's crying to. Despite never knowing him, he takes after his father, and is a bit of a hot-head, and if he doesn't cry when he encounters a problem, he gets angry. However, when Shade isn't panicking, crying, or getting angry, he's quite caring and compassionate, always offering to help others. He has a special connection with his sister, Dark, probably because they both have black on their pelts and are despised by their mother. He often resents himself for having black on his pelt, and believes that he is worthless because of it, oftentimes refusing to eat, drink, or take care of himself because he doesn't think he's worth it. Shade takes after both his mother and his father, and finds fighting enjoyable, not hesitating to defend himself; but he will only attack in self-defense, believing that to attack another without reason is wrong, and tries to avoid severely injuring his enemies if he can. To sum it all up, Shade is the most precious little bean ever, and I want to hug him.
