## **Appearance**

Nightcloud is a black tom with energetic blue eyes. He has a tuft of white fur on his chest, and dark grey 'cloud' splotches all over his fur.

## **Night's Beginning**

Nightcloud was born a loner named Night. His mother took very good care of him, but always warned little Night about the mean clan cats. She made sure he always stayed away from them. One night, he woke up to screaming coming from the Thunderpath. Through the pitch black darkness, the small kit witnessed his mother being taken by Twolegs. Night ran after the monster stealing his mother for the whole night. In the morning, he found himself asleep in unknown territory. Lost and heartbroken, Night wandered around for the next three moons trying to find a place in the world.

## **Night's Oasis**

After wandering for a while, Night knew it was time to settle down. He continued walking till he came across a barn. Inside the barn, there was a group of cats who called themselves 'OasisClan'. This name was new to Night, for he had never heard of any other clans but the four main ones. Figuring this clan couldn't possibly be bad, Night gave himself the warrior name Nightcloud and joined them. All the cats in the clan seemed so experienced and strong to Nightcloud, so he trained himself hard till he could hunt and fight as well as them. Nightcloud stayed with Oasis clan for a bit before deciding it was time to move on. The clan was great and all, but it wasn't where he was meant to be. Without saying goodbye, Nightcloud went off to find a real home.

## **Finding a Place**

Eventually Nightcloud came to RiverClan. Even though he knew of all the horror stories his mother told him about the clan, Nightcloud decided to take the risk anyway. He casually sat in camp, watching a group of cats talk. They were having so much fun.. and they seemed like the perfect little family. Once cat looked over at Nightcloud and invited him to join their chat. This cat, Flickerlight, became Nightcloud's first friend. Slowly he felt more at home. The cats didn't question him, and they just let Nightcloud be himself. This was definitely the perfect home.

## **Meeting Snippaw**

A little while later, Nightcloud decided he should probably go meet some more cats. Soon enough, he became decent friends with the deputy, Minnowstream. Nightcloud had a ton of energy, and always seemed to get into trouble. One day he and a few other apprentices went out to the Training Hollow. Their plan was to train, but little did they know what would be waiting for them. Not even a minute after the entered, a huge badger roamed out of the bushes in front of them. Nightcloud and the apprentices fought it off, but they all got injured. The cat with the worst wound was Snippaw, a feisty young she-cat. Her leg had been broken and she could hardly move. Nightcloud helped her to the medicine den, and stayed by her side the entire time. For some reason, he felt loyal to this cat. Nightcloud didn't know why, but he gave in to this feeling. Snippaw and Nightcloud became close friends throughout Snip's injury. After a while, Nightcloud began to develop feelings for Snippaw. He decided not to confess for a while though, one because she was an apprentice, and two, she had enough to worry about. They continued this friendship for a while, just hanging out and talking. Nightcloud always helped Snippaw get around on her wounded leg. Around the time Snippaw earned her warrior name, Nightcloud decided to admit his feeling to her. It went way better than he thought it would, and soon Snippaw, now Snipfire, became Nightcloud's mate. Snipfire held the reckless Nightcloud together, while Nightcloud always made Snipfire laugh. It was a perfect relationship, and Nightcloud was happier than he ever was, and ever will be again.
