## Description

**Silvercloud** is a thick-furred and tall silver tabby tom with light green eyes.

**Silvercloud** is a senior warrior in Shadowclan, shortly acting as deputy prior to being exiled by Elmstar for the killing of Blackpaw.

## History

Silvercloud was born to Sagetuft and Slatetooth in Riverclan as Silverkit alongside Minnowkit and Frecklekit. Annoyed by his sisters energetic demeanor and loud bantering, he spent most of his free time with Shellkit, and occasionally her mother, Tinysand.

Silverkit is unformally trained by Slatetooth from the age of three moons. Constantly trying to keep up with Slatetooth, Silverkit would exert all of his effort and energy doing tasks for the clan, like fishing in the stream alongside the nursery.

After the death of Shellkit, Silverkit blames Slatetooth for her disappearance and attacks him during a search party for the lost kit. Slatetooth bests the kit in battle, leaving him tattered on the Shadowclan thunderpath border.

After being found by Elmtail, Silverkit was raised by him and Russetstar in Shadowclan. Due to his upbringing, Silverkit never seemed to want to sit down, and was quickly made into an apprentice the moment he turned 6 moons.

Silverpaw is the first cat in Shadowclan to try to address a reoccurring theft from some Thunderclan apprentices. Elmstar dismisses this, trying to keep peace between the clans.

After becoming a warrior, Silvercloud demands sorting out the prey-stealing. With the help of Elmstar, Silvercloud calls an emergency gathering between Shadowclan and Thunderclan to discuss the theft of prey. A fight breaks out after Silvercloud interrogates Sugarstar.

After Rednose's passing due to an infected battle wound, a new deputy is not chosen before the next full moon. Silvercloud unoffically takes the role and acts as deputy, with no protest from Elmstar due to him assisting in training Patchpaw prior to the gathering.

Silvercloud becomes mates with Feathertail, who had come to Shadowclan as a refuge apprentice from Thunderclan after the gathering.

On a border patrol, Silvercloud is attacked by Blackpaw, who accuses him of killing a squirrel that came from Thunderclan territory. Silvercloud throws the apprentice off of his back, causing Blackpaw to hit his head on a river rock. Silvercloud pleads with Feathertail to cover the death as an accident, as he fears his unstable relationship with Elmstar will unnecessarily escalate the situation.

Snaketail tells Elmstar about the killing after finding Blackpaw's corpse with silver fur between his claws. Silvercloud is removed from his unformal deputy role, and Feathertail is confined to camp until further notice, ordered to aid in the medicine den. After the meeting, Snaketail confronts Silvercloud about his loyalty, to which Silvercloud responds by leaving the clan.
