**Wolfshade** is a huge dark brown tabby tom with spiked fur, and a blind left eye.

## Description

### Physical

Stereotypical bad-guy? Of course. Wolfshade is of huge proportions for a feral cat, and is perhaps the reason behind why his mother was incapable of surviving her labor. The tom comes with a powerful set of shoulders and a broad head tipped with feathered ears, making him appear like a looming shadow capable of intimidating just about anyone, even his superiors. His build is powerful and supported by trained muscle, even though his size makes him relatively slow.

Wolfshade is covered in a thick, dark brown fur laced in wide mackerel tabby stripes. His stripes are black, a signature of a black-based tabby, while his base coat is a dark gray-brown that is only a few shades away from being black as well. His long coat is wild even if it is impressive, only adding to his intimidating size.

### Personality

The tom has always had a mindset where bigger is better, and power is everything. His faith in StarClan is minimal and his moral boundary is nonexistent. Wolfshade has always acted merciless, but always in a somewhat innocent manner due to a lack of good guidance as a kitten. The death of his mother and the lack of his father left him feeling empty and abandoned, like he was always responsible for caring for himself despite having foster parents. This independent life style only lead him down worse paths, because when he found a proper mentor, this ended up being the wrong sort of influence.

While he may be lost, the tom is intelligent no doubt. He is manipulative and has always had a way with words, capable of posing himself innocent and maintaining a pokerface no matter what atrocity he has committed. In short, the tom has grown numb to the world. When the world turned his back on him, he decided to reciprocate that manner and turn his back on it as well.

## History

### Roleplay

Wolfkit is born into TundraClan to a queen named Slatepuddle. Before she can interact much with her kittens, the she-cat dies, leaving the litter under the care of Irismoon and her mate, Whiteclaw.

Moons pass, and the tomkit is seen tormenting his littermates by squishing their bugs and chasing them around. He's practically the size of an apprentice, and his curiosity exceeds him. He wanders out of camp but gets lost. When he happens across a river, he tries to take a drink, but falls in and finds himself swept into WillowClan territory, where a confused Ashbreeze rescues him.

He is revived accidentally by Dustypaw, before Wolfkit happily shoots sharp comments at all who approach him. Due to his size, he is mistaken as an apprentice-aged cat by the clan, and so he is therefore apprenticed to Muddyfang at the warrior's request. His training sessions are brutal, but still the young apprentice withstands them. Over time, he follows his mentor beyond the border, and it is then when he is intercepted by The Pack. Upon meeting Renegade, Wolfpaw begins training ouside of WillowClan.

Moons pass under relentless training, and Wolfpaw is enraged when Muddyfang admits to being a traitor and outright leaves the clan. He learns that Ashbreeze is expecting his mentor's kits, and feels a ruthless hatred growing for them as well. He learns of the Dark Forest bounded heritage, and seeks to exploit it. He learns that Dustypaw is the heir of The Pack's shaman leader, Moor, and he seeks to use it to his own advantage as well.

Wolfpaw bitterly finishes his training under Sproutstripe, whom he sees as worthless and useless. He becomes a warrior with the name of 'Wolfshade', and during the fox attack, he takes a fang from a fox. This wins the respect (and fear) of some of his clanmates, making him rather popular. During these times, he begins to set his sights on the idea of becoming deputy.

The warrior taunts Ashbreeze and Muddyfang's spawn, Leopardkit and Cinderkit, scarring them for life when he reveals the truth of their father and their bloodline through their mother. Wolfshade gets shut down by Quillstar, but still he is bitter.

Overtime, he continues to plot with The Pack in order to "reclaim" Dustypaw. In return, he is to be given control over WillowClan in order to take over and unite all of the other clans. Wolfshade expects to be made deputy once Rainsplash dies, but he is infuriated when Stonetooth is picked instead. He then plans to murder the gray tom in order to take his place.

Moons pass, and he takes the perfect opportunity to kill the deputy. While Stonetooth is out of camp by the lake, Wolfshade attacks him and nearly kills him. The deputy's body goes adrift in the lake, with the tabby tyrant believing that he is dead. Wolfshade finds the body of a fox on the Thunderpath, and blames Stonetooth's death on the fox. Naturally, he claims to have killed the fox personally, which once more impresses some of his clanmates.

Quillstar is not keen on making Wolfshade deputy, so the tabby riles up his supporters in order to force Quillstar to take a vote. In the end, the clan chooses Wolfshade. He is pleased, and soon, his plan is set into motion.

A moon later, The Pack and ScarClan charge camp. The battle seems to go in his favor, until Stonetooth miraculously returns with ThornClan as support. Finally, Wolfshade is driven off by Stonetooth and Quillstar together, which results in Wolfshade going blind in his left eye. His whereabouts afterwards were never disclosed, but of course, he is lurking...

## Relationships

### Enemies

**Muddyfang:**

During his first few moons, the tom absolutely admired his mentor despite that small sensation of tingling fear due to Muddyfang's relentless (if not possibly abusive) training techniques. He aspired to be as powerful as the warrior, until he felt that his adoration was betrayed by his mentor's sudden leave. Now, he feels a burning sensation of hatred, something so strong that Wolfshade has never felt anything like it before. He wishes to destroy Muddyfang for his abandonment, even if not intentional, and will lay ruins to everything that he has ever loved.
**Leopardkit & Cinderkit:**

The spawn of the tom that betrayed him, so naturally, he hates them as well.

## Trivia

* He suffers from a degree of reactive attachment disorder.
	+ "Love" is still possible for him, but the process to get him to eventually feel it is very difficult.
* Wolfkit will be apprenticed early when he happens upon WillowClan. Due to his size, they will mistake him for being older than he actually is.
