### Kithood

Shadowkit was born in a litter of three. He was extremely strong, so Dawnstar got Ravenfeather to train him early. One day, the two were out training when Shadowkit began to complain about his shoulder. And then his chest, and his tail, until he said most of his body hurt. Ravenfeather was worried, so she went to tell Feathersong. Feathersong freaked out, and told Shadowkit to come with her. The two went in searched in the forest to find a battered Eaglestrike on the ground. He had scratches on the same spots Shadowkit felt pain. Feathersong immediately knew that Shadowkit had the ability to fell others pain, like Darkheart, the ex WanderClan medicine cat. What she didn't know, was that if a cat was sad or mad, he could feel that too. Feathersong decided to take him on as an apprentice.

### Apprenticeship

Shadowpaw was now depressed, he couldn't be the warrior he dreamed of. Feathersong was impressed though, Shadowpaw had a strong connection with StarClan. He wasn't very good with herbs though, and with the battle training Shadowpaw was beyond good. Soon, a she-cat named Mint came to the clan. Mint was beautiful, and Shadowpaw feel deeply in love. Mint didn't like talking about herself, though so Shadowpaw didn't know whether to approach her about mates or not. Shadowpaw became good friends with Mint, Snowpaw, and Bramblepaw. A bear came to attack the camp, and with his friends help, he killed the bear. Soon, the other three became warriors. Without him. He became a full medicine cat, and Feathersong brought his friends to see him. Shadowpaw became Shadowsoul.

### Appearance

Smoky gray tom, with darker and lighter patches. He has extremely fluffy, crazy, fur, and light banana yellow eyes.

### Personality

* He hates his name
* Feathersong gave him the 'soul' suffix since she thought it would represent the 'heart' suffix from Darkheart, who he shared his power with.
* He was originally going to be with Silvercloud, but I (SquirrelflightSyd) realized that they were cousins.

## **Relationships**

### Mint

Shadowsoul fell in love with Mint as soon as she came to the clan. They soon became close friends. Shadowsoul became angry when his love had a mate. The two were still close, but Shadowsoul couldn't help being upset. After being convinced by Duskstorm, Shadowsoul attempted to kill Curio, now Curiospark. Shadowsoul went to Mint and told her that Curio and him were out hunting together when a badger came and got him. Shadow tried to kill the badger, but it took Curio's corpse away, possibly to eat. Mint cried and asked his Curiospark had any last wishes before he died. Shadowsoul told her that he said for Mint to become Shadowsoul's mate. Mint thanked him for trying to save Curio and agreed to be Shadowsoul's mate if it was Curio's wish. Shadowsoul was overjoyed. His plan worked! Feathersong found Curiospark's body, and realized she could save him. Feathersong went straight to Mint after she patched up Curio and told her how Shadowsoul's sent was all over Curiospark. A whole fight went down, and Shadowsoul admitted that he tried to kill Curiospark so Mint could be happy. Mint thanked him, and agreed to actually become his mate after all the poor thing had went through. Soon, Shadowsoul realized that even though he loved Mint with all his heart, he knew that he had to let her go. He begged Curiospark to take Mint back and care about her more. He agreed, and Shadowsoul gave her up. But who knows? Maybe, he'll get a new mate.
