## Appearance and Personality

#### Appearance

Shard is a black tom with a white, shatter-like pattern. He has one blue-green eye and one amber eye.

#### Personality

Shard is kinda deranged. He has strange visions that he believes show him the future. He's paranoid and will do anything for self-preservation. He has a long, long memory and will remember how many leaves a certain tree had on it thirteen moons ago. He's mostly just confused. He has a bit of an ego and will do things on a whim or instinct.

## Story

Shard was born beyond the mountains of HorizonClan. From a very young age, he was convinced that he was special. After all, his siblings had all died shortly after being born. Surely that was enough proof that he was special. He started making up visions to entertain himself. In one of these, he decided that his father, who had been absent from his life so far, had gotten lost in the mountains. He went into the mountains to look, his mother tailing him to keep him out of trouble, and they found a tom who was in fact lost in the mountains. Shard decided that this meant he could actually see the future. When he started having strange dreams, he figured they were prophecies too. He started hearing strange voices as well, and the dreams combined with the voices told him that he had to find a gray tabby. A bit later, they told him that he wouldn't find the gray tabby without losing his mother. So when Mama got sick, Shard did nothing. He was too special. He had to find this gray tabby to be special. And if his mom was in the way of that, so be it.

Shard traveled away from the mountains and eventually came to a twolegplace where he found a fluffy gray and white tabby named Tina. Tina was shy and quiet and soft. She had been lured away from her two-legs as a kit and hadn't really learned how to take care of herself. One of the voices told Shard to take care of her, so he did. He took her back to the mountains and helped her learn how to hunt and take care of herself. She adored him, only adding to his ego, and he liked her too. He had fulfilled his destiny, or so he'd thought. They became mates, expecting a long, happy life together.

Shortly afterward, Shard had a vision in which he saw two kits, his kits, who would destroy him if allowed to grow up together. He didn't want that and when Tina told him she was going to have kits, he kind of panicked. When the kits were born, Tina got pretty sick, so Shard started making plans. He knew that there were groups of cats down there and where there were cats there were kits. Surely they wouldn't notice a couple extras. When Tina died, Shard was slightly upset, but he was still only worried about himself. He took the kits to the Clans, one to OasisClan and one to OrchidClan.

But the visions were not finished with him. They whispered that Tina had not been the right gray tabby and he still had work to do. With the only threat to him safely hidden away, he took up his quest again and this time found a fierce, dark gray tabby she-cat named Quill. The voices whispered that she was the one, so Shard immediately took to courting her. She didn't like that much, but he told her all about his visions, his grand destiny. She felt bad for the poor, delusional fool and stopped being so harsh in her rejections. He saw this as her returning his affections- that, or she just wanted to get in on the grand destiny part. She eventually agreed to become his mate.

Now, the visions and dreams were becoming fuzzier, their meanings unclear. Shard thought this was because he'd found his gray tabby. One of these visions said something about Quill's kits. Reminded of Tina, Shard interpreted this as "I have to dump the kits on the Clans again." So he did, dropping them off with Moonmist. Again. Quill was really mad about this, especially since she was sick and going into a large group of cats was the last thing she wanted to do, but she did. Shard let her. She would come back. She was his gray tabby, the key to his destiny. She wouldn't leave forever, right?

Right?

* I kind of want to have him end up dealing with the Dark Forest. We don't have anyone involved in the Dark Forest. That could be fun.
