Mothshade

Mothshade is a large, long-furred black cat with thick, droopy fur and orange eyes. She has selective mutism.
Mothshade is a Summitclan warrior and is something of a loner within moths own clan. Her size and quietness can make her intimidating to some cats, though she truly means no harm. Despite moths distance from moths clanmates, moth is incredibly loyal, and is just as willing to lay down moths life for the clan as any other cat.
===History===
Born to Cicadaspiral and Spiderblink, Mothkit was always a quiet kitten. She struggled to make friends, so she was instead very close to her parents. Cicadaspiral especially was a big comfort, bug always knew how to make the family smile, and was a bright light for the whole clan. The three were inseparable.
Mothpaw was apprenticed to Birchfang, a chatty and cheerful warrior. Stepping away from moths parents was intimidating, but Birchfang was warm and friendly. Birchfang never took any offence from Mothpaw's mutism, and would simply fill the silence herself with teachings and anecdotes. Mothpaw never spoke to Birchfang until her warrior vigil, when she quietly thanked Birchfang for everything they had done for her, bringing the two of them to tears.
Warriorhood was treating Mothshade well until one dark day. On a hunting trip with Cicadaspiral, Mothshade suggested hunting some boar piglets in the thick of the pine forest. The meat was plentiful, and would've fed the clan for days. The hunt was going well, until the mother of the boar returned. Cicadaspiral was gored by the mother boar, killed on what was supposed to be a fun activity with bugs daughter. 
Mothshade carried the guilt of moths parent's death, and Spiderblink, too, grew reclusive in her grief. They were distant, until one confrontation, when Mothshade accused Spiderblink of hating her. Spiderblink assured her that Cicadaspiral's death was not her fault, and their rift was mended as they cried together over their shared grief. They were never quite as close as they used to be, but they try to be there for each other.
Mothshade continues on with her warrior duties, stoic as always. Sometimes, moths quietness frustrates moths clanmates, but moth knows that Spiderblink and Birchfang will always be right beside moth, whenever moth needs a little support to get through the day.
