## Physical Description

Fawnshine is a small, short-legged tom with long fur accompanied by a fawn-brown tabby pelt, with small white paws and a white throat. His eyes are rounded and leaf-green and has a stubbed fluffy tail. Fawnshine has quite soft facial features, which oddly compliments his small size. He has scars on his left shoulder and a short tail.

## Personality

Fawnshine is a rather sweet tom who is willing to help any cat he sees. As a result of him being sweet, he's able to form friendships from different clans and his own clan without any defensive behaviour. The more he stayed in Riverclan, the better his speech and confidence with speaking has become, thus eliminating the stuttering he had a long time ago. After his trauma of losing his tail, losing his mate and majority of his kits, he has built himself up to become a lot stronger and speak of his past, rather than repress them.

## Skill and Weaknesses

Fawnshine is excellent with hunting mice and voles, as a result of his reliance on avoiding water. As you can guess, he's weak with hunting fish. From what he knows, his fighting is not the best and his excuse is that he's a small cat, which makes it harder for him to able to fight off any cat as they'll likely be bigger and heavier than him. As odd as it is for a Riverclan cat, he has an intense fear of water, thus avoiding it at all times and not knowing how to swim. His speed and stealth is good, which gives him that extra boost with hunting.

## Life

### **Adult Hood**

Fawnshine joined Riverclan at 17 moons, where he begun as a cat who was extremely shy and hesitated a lot when spoken to. Fuelling that nervousness, he heavily disliked it when others would notice him and ended up stuttering as if there was no end. His negative thoughts were a burden on him, degrading his confidence and resulting him feeling worse about himself after every conversation. Unfortunately, for him at least, his first conversation was with Bluebellpatch and his confidence made him sound dry. After a while, he had warmed up and had a boost of confidence after having a long conversation with Ryepaw, which made them become friends. He had confessed to him that he had a fear of water, to which Ryepaw accepted.

At 23 moons, Fawnshine's confidence had risen up which enabled him to start conversations first and carry it out smoothly. He had met Ripplecloud, who he grew close to with Ripplecloud confessing that she had a fear of water, then causing him to confess his fear of water. They both went over to the duck pond, with each other's support, they went into the shallow part of the water and familiarised themselves with the feel of the feeling. After a while of being in the water, they splashed and played around with each other and strengthened their bond together. To Fawnshine's surprise, he had been appointed as a mentor to Sunpaw and that made him thrilled with content. They spent their first lesson getting to know each other, Fawnshine quizzing him on the Warrior Code and then messing around.

Fawnshine had crushed on Ripplecloud for a moon, unaware of the feelings she had towards him. He had become quite close to her and was able to rely on her, expressing his thoughts freely and acting like himself. It seemed to be that time itself has stopped when he was with Ripplecloud, the two spending time together and playing around. After a moon, he had decided to take her to the Duck Pond, where he felt as nervous as her and noticed that he looked to be a mess in the reflection. He shakily did a speech on what he thought of her then ending with him confessing his feelings. To his surprise she too had feelings for him.

\*Insert practice battling with Newtleap and Falcon, in desperate to become the ripped nd hecking strong dude he aspires to be\*

There's conflict at Riverclan and Shadowclan border where Falconpaw and Bouncepaw get into a fight, to which Fawnshine attempts to stop. Falconpaw is stubborn and tells Fawnshine not to get involved, to which Fawnshine become annoyed at the apprentice and brings Badgerstrike over to fix the issue.

A whole day is dedicated to Ripplecloud and Fawnshine strolling through the territory and helping each other get used to water by holding their breath under water. Ripplecloud becomes anxious at this and Fawnshine helps her out the water. They both decide to relax and sleep under a tree with patches of flowers here and there. The next morning Ripplecloud is p r e g g o.

As a result of the conflict between Riverclan and Windclan, Fawnshine participated in the battle and fought against a warrior called Burrpath. The nervousness and adrenaline took control of him, causing him to really fight to his best of his ability. Fawnshine wanted to apologise to Burrpath and perhaps become friends, however he also wanted to prove that he was capable of fighting and not always a soft tom. At the end of the battle, he oddly formed some sort of friendship with Burrpath with the two apologising and agreeing that it would be nice to meet up eventually.

Ripplecloud had a tough labour with limited support as Fawnshine didn't know what to do but tell her to take easy and deep breathes, till finally Ivypaw came to support. Willowkit, Jaggedkit, Goosekit and Deerkit were given birth to and Fawnshine felt adoration for them. Two days after the birth, Fawnshine gets involved in an accident with a fox trap, to which developed an infection and had his tail amputated. It was a painful process for the tom physically and emotionally. After this, he became paranoid, over-protective and had slowly been losing his temper. In a way, he had sort of become slightly colder and found it rough to express affection.

Unfortunately, to add onto his grief, Ripplecloud passed away and left Fawnshine a single-father who's shrivelling away into a depression and heavy grief. He's planned to take extra care of his kits and start going out into the territories to regain stability and strength to prove to his kits that he's capable. Due to the overwhelming amount of sadness he had, he ran from camp and deep in the Riverclan territories, finding himself along the Windclan and Riverclan border, to which he finds Burrpath once again. The two talk and bond, fairly awkward but refreshing to meet someone new.

Many moons after his mate's death, four of his kits had died. It's said that they passed away from the greencough that infected Riverclan. Fawnshine wasn't hit as hard as he was with Ripplecloud, mainly because he didn't see them enough to establish a bond with them. However, fortunately his son, Goosestrike, is alive. Though, their bond had been quite bumpy as they didn't talk to each other that much which led them to being quite distant. They had deep conversations to explain their sides and bonded through that.

I can't remember what else happened.

Days before leading to his death, Fawnshine had experienced joint aches, fatigue and was overall just weak to carry out his duties, thus spending time by the duck pond or at his and Ripplecloud's spot in the Riverclan territory. At 54 moons, Fawnshine passed away from a heart attack on **Sunday 10th of May 2020**. He died in front of the warriors den, without getting to say his last few words to any cat.

'"Ripplecloud, I don't think I've ever felt so comfortable with another cat to let them know my fear of water and that's a pretty big achievement. You're sweet and just excellent! I've had feelings for you for a moon now and I can't contain myself any longer. I like you, Ripplecloud." Fawnshine shakily said, feeling like he was going to explode in front of her.' **Fawnshine confessing his feelings to Ripplecloud**Template:Infobox episode
