Shadowchaser

is owned by Whiskers
Shadowchaser is a sturdy black grizzled tabby tom with feathered ears.
==Description==
===Physical===
Unfortunately for the skittish warrior who wishes nothing more than to blend in, Shadowchaser sticks out like a sore thumb. Due to his prized and rather exotic bloodline, he happens to stand at an impressive height and carries an athletic build. Even more unique is his coat. His base is coal-black, yet he is ticked with intricate silver-tinged hairs to give him a grizzled appearance. Due to this patterning, he upholds an intimidating appearance that tends to scare off most, but in truth, the tom’s too shy to even hurt a fly.
Shadowchaser also features a rather unique facial structure, one that is charming despite his scaredy-cat nature. His eyes are almond-shaped and angled towards his narrowed nose bridge, hazel in color with the slightest hint of pastel blue near his pupils. His ears are remarkably tall, but not wide like those of an oriental. Rather, they make him appear wolfish, tipped with feathered tufts that are as coarse as the rest of his thick pelt.
===Personality===
Albeit wolfish in appearance, the tom has the heart of a lamb. He is kind and gentle, primarily due to his insecurity amongst the clan cats. He’s desperate to fit in and prove himself a good warrior, perhaps a little too much at times. He can easily come off as a try-hard riddled with desperation and sweet, sweet anxiety. Shadowchaser is skittish around new faces, and is known to be especially nervous around authoritative cats, such as the leader and deputy.
Nonetheless, he’s a very good chap. While he struggles with his skittish yet determined nature, Shadowchaser always remembers his manners and finds himself particularly mature around she-cats. He was raised by a mother that he adored and admired beyond words, resulting in him to keep up on his manners. He’s such a polite guy, one that would surely make his late mother proud.
===Skills===
Shadowchaser is yet to develop much of his skills, although he is rumored to have incredible stamina and impressive stealth, in addition to his good manners. He appears to be a decent fighter, but can't climb a tree to save his own life. 
==History==
===Background===
Shadow was born outside the clans to a loner mother, and due to some unfortunate circumstances, he ended up being the only kitten in the litter to live with his mother. His mother was a runaway kittypet with a prized lineage yet bigger aspirations: a longing for the wild. His father, however, remains unknown. Some argue he was a great warrior with a secret affair with an adventurous kittypet, while others believe he was nothing more than a kittypet. Either way, he was not involved in Shadow’s life.
Shadow lost his mother shortly after she finished his training, and it was a horrible loss for him. He treasured his mother, and he valued all of her lessons. After surviving independently as a loner for so long, Shadow decided that he could no longer tolerate living alone, resulting in him to join DuskClan.
===Roleplay===
Although he is hiding around camp like his typical anxious self, Shadowchaser is ordered by the clan leader to go hunting, to which he panics about, as he is particularly anxious around authority. Once he's out of camp, however, the warrior seemed to relax, although he still remains somewhat tense. He collapses in his nest once back at camp, thankful to be in a place where he can adjust in peace.

===Family===
Unnamed Mother:
:Considering that the loner was the only thing that he had, Shadowchaser's admiration and adoration for his late mother is understandable. She taught him various life lessons, including morals and to always be on top of his manners, particularly around she-cats, as they deserve respect. The bond he had with the she-cat was unbreakable, and when she passed away, he was absolutely lost in the world. He did his best to live independently, but after a while, isolation became too much for Shadowchaser. His biggest aim in life is to make his mother proud while she watches over her son in the afterlife.
Unnamed Father:
:The tom was never able to meet his father, but continues to question his background from time to time. Shadowchaser's provided him with little to know information on his other parent. He knew not even his name nor where he came from, but the warrior likes to believe that his father was once a great warrior, or even deputy. Whether he's still alive or not, Shadowchaser doesn't know, but sometimes, he thinks he'd like to find out. He hates being alone.
Tigerfrost:
:Currently, Shadowchaser is unaware that he has a living brother.
