Shadowfrost

Shadowfrost is a black tom with amber eyes.

## Personality

Imagine, if you will, an alignment chart, three-by-three columns in scale. On the side the columns are labeled Edgy, Depressed, and Dumbass, and on the top they are labeled Bitch, Thot, and Bastard. Now smack a picture of Shadowfrost over all of the boxes and call it a day. He comes off as a cocky, lazy bastard, often procrastinating to avoid any work that's sent his way and unafraid of bragging about his accomplishments. He prefers work that keeps him on his feet in the territory instead of confined to camp or patrols, and if he can shirk off the more boring part of his work onto someone else then he absolutely will. He's a charming, friendly, and social personality that can make friends with anyone — or, at least, do a good job of trying, and that aspect of his personality makes his job a whole lot easier. He's a bit of a flirt, too, but for all that he *does* flirt it's very rare for him to go on dates or start a relationships or develop feelings for anyone else. He seems to do most of the things he does just because it'd benefit him, or because of his own interest in something rather than anything else. On top of that, he's unafraid to manipulate others to get his way — he knows people well and spends time making good connections with people he thinks are important or useful, and is able to gently push a person in a certain direction without making them think that *he's* the one behind their choice. He tends to think of most things in his life as a game of chess, and he plays the whole board rather than just a piece at a time. That isn't to say that he doesn't form *actual* connections with people, as he does have people around him that he cares about, but they're just not as common for him to make. Most of his charming front is a bravado that he puts on: he's plenty friendly, of course, but if he wants to *charm* someone than it takes effort on his part. He doesn't like people as much as he likes to pretend he does, and when he has the choice he sticks to his chosen few, but he can still navigate a crowd easily if he has to. While he sometimes worries about the health and well-being of those close to him, he isn't overly protective, as he tends to hold the belief that his loved ones can take care of themselves and don't need his hovering (his biggest concern is making sure that people he care about stay safe most of the time more than anything else, and he does his best to ensure that they will be). Mostly, his protectiveness is relegated to picking up the pieces after someone makes a big mistake, or helping someone recover when they're sick or injured, and only extending his help during a situation if someone has ended up in deep shit. He's also known to lecture someone if he thinks they were a complete and utter dumbass about something, and he doesn't tend to hold back on his lectures, either. He doesn't have a lot of patience for other people's bullshit, but he often finds himself tolerating it anyway and begging for death while he does. He is, of course, intelligent, though most of those smarts relegate themselves to dealing with other people than anything book-smart. Despite how much he loathes being confined by his duties or to camp for any amount of time, he's a workaholic, and he has occasionally had to been dragged away from his work and forced to actually take a break. He can, however, be quite stubborn, which makes pulling him away from something a challenge, and he's been known to have a temper as fiery as his son's at times.
