## Biographical Information

### Place of Birth

RiverClam

 Physical Description

Appleshade has a very muscular build, probably one of the best fighters RiverClan ever had. She is mostly orange despite both of her parents having a grey pelt and has white-grey fur on her muzzle, tail, and paws. Her fur is very spiked and long. She has longer claws than the average cat.

## Personality

Appleshade mostly covers up her aggressive attitude with confidence. She is selfish, but didn't show this until towards the end of her lifetime. She ignores most cats who aren’t her friends.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Appleshade is a great fighter, effectively using her body weight to her advantage. She is fast on her paws and has a powerful bite. Generally, she can tell when something is wrong or if there's about to be a fight.

Despite being a RiverClan cat, she's a poor swimmer. She's heavy, so it makes it hard for her to sneak up on prey. She never trusted anybody but Dreamstone throughout her whole life. She hates most cats that are younger than her, with the exception of Streampaw, and despises kits even though she has kits of her own. She's incapable of blending into the background. Appleshade isn't good at keeping secrets and lies often.

## Life

### Kithood and Apprenticeship

Applekit was born to Ferretwhisker of WindClan and Silvershade of RiverClan. She was born in WindClan territory, but her mother Silvershade took her to RiverClan to raise her there instead.

Applekit and Silvershade were exiled from RiverClan after Snailstar discovered that Silvershade had broken the Warrior Code, and they were forced to live outside the Clans until Pebblestar took over. While outside the Clans, Silvershade gave Applekit the name Appleshade.

### Adult Life

In her early adult life, after being let back into the Clans, Appleshade was made the 2nd deputy of RiverClan. Appleshade befriended another RiverClan warrior named Dreamstone. Appleshade shared with Dreamstone her ambitions to become leader of RiverClan, and Dreamstone helped her begin planning to take over. Soon, they both found themselves in the Dark Forest, training under Brambleshade. Brambleshade helped Appleshade plan her betrayal of RiverClan, and Appleshade manipulated Pebblestar, who she took as her mate. She also befriended a young apprentice named Streampaw.

She fell in love with Jaysprint, WindClan’s deputy and Whisperstar’s mate, at a Gathering. She had kits with Jaysprint, but claimed they were Pebblestar’s kits. They both died as apprentices.

Appleshade was blinded by a rogue named Jay after killing her old apprentice Trout, who became a rogue soon after becoming an apprentice. Dreamstone later took Appleshade to the river to get a drink but drowned her. Streamheart ran away from RiverClan a week after because of Appleshade’s death and formed BeachClan.

After her death, Appleshade lived in the Dark Forest and helped train other apprentices.
