## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Tawnyshade is a powerhouse of a cat. Tawnyshade had a rough childhood and even planned to leave clan life. However, she was able to adapt and find her place in ThunderClan, making herself a cat she could be proud of. Having somewhat of a dark humor which many cats liked, she was born with a twisted paw, but that didn't stop her, and she was a very skilled huntress whose praises where sung by many. Tawnyshade is proud of her skill but not a bragger, she believes that a cats pride shouldn't be in where they are from or there blood but in how they live there life which is why she has a better opinion of kittypets and wanderers.

### **Eaglestar**

Tawnyshade is Eaglestar's sister; both understand each other most with a rough childhood. Exiled from WindClan for the sins of their father when they were only three moons old and were somewhat outcasts in ThunderClan, both cats only had each other and cared for one another very much. Tawnyshade and Eaglestar are both skilled cats and defensive of each other. Eaglestar even became a warrior late so his sister could adapt to her twisted leg, and while he was the better fighter she was the better hunter. Both are still defensive of each other, so it took Eaglestar time to like Ibiswing.

### **Ibiswing**

Ibiswing is Tawnyshade's mate; Tawnyshade at first had a hard time adapting to the valley, but while trying to hunt, the prey she attempted to get was taken by another cat. She was about to attack till the tom calmly apologized and, seeing she was starving, gave her the squirrel, which she thanked him for. After exchanging names, they decided to stay together, showing each other skills though Ibis didn't seem fond of the Clan life Tawnyshade spoke of. Both grew very close, but when Eagleswoop offered his sister to join EagleClan, Ibis had to choose. Ibis sacrificed the independence he felt as the rogue to be with Tawnyshade for her acceptance and happiness.
