Shadestrike II

## Description + Picture

Shadestrike is a black she-cat with reddish brown paws, muzzle, and tail, adorned with shining, yet piercing, red eyes. Her fur is very long and fluffy, often causing irritation with catching pricks and thorns. Though her appearance is fantasy-like, with demon eyes and some unnatural patterns, she is very much real and alive. Shadestrike was never taken in by any parents, as she did not seek to have family, and is unaware of her real family. It's rumored that she has a sibling, and is a former kittypet, as some of the Thunderclan cats have seen a kittypet that looks identical to her. Finchsong (aka Finchstar) has since taken Shadestrike under her wing, along with several other apprentices, who've since been promoted to Warriors. She considers them her family, and are very kind to each other. Shadestrike constantly follows Finchsong (Finchstar) around like a servant, volunteering to do nearly everything. Refers to Finchsong as Father Finch or Finchstar.

### Personality

For no reason at all than "why not?", Shadestrike chooses to be... well, odd. Sometimes she can be really nice and cooperative, and other times, she'll just be a completely different cat. Her usual behavior revolves around holding back, as Shadestrike is scared to open up and be rejected.. again. This includes her being kind of like a tsundere, but sometimes she'll secretly enjoy some things. When around the right cats, her inner kitten springs! A rambunctious and playful cat emerges, becoming a shameless and reckless ball of fur. Shadestrike's "introvert" behavior is anxious, cautious, an all-around a calculating individual, secretly planning and making plans in her head using her ability to overthink all the time, and is scared to change what good she has now.

In a sudden-decision circumstance, Shadestrike will start to panic and stutter, as she is very undecisive and not confident in her abilities. Because of her paranoia and anxiety, her reflexes are very fast, and this sometimes causes accidental harm to her clanmates. Is rather humble, no matter how exciting her skill or achievement was.

### History / Backstory

As a kitten, Luna could very foggily remember two blurry figures, most likely her mom and dad. They had fun, until Luna had developed.. quite the attitude. Relentless fights would occur for the smallest of reasons, causing her parents to be angry. This would lead to isolation, loneliness, and sadness. Bottling her "bad" feelings inside, except her endless anger, Luna had resorted to eating more food, secluding herself for most of the day. But one fateful leaf-bare day came, where she becomes the wildcat she is today. Another fight, but raged with fire. So much so, that not even the parents could withstand it. Luna released all of her thoughts, all of her emotions all at once, that it broke her. It tore her down, shattering her entire mentality. Shaking, crying with a rage that seemingly never ended for no reason, Luna had calmed down.. but not enough to recollect her feelings of bitterness. "Get out, and never come back!" her mother had wailed, tired of the chaos. This left a scar in her heart, one that wouldn't heal for a long time. So, she ran. Afraid, angry, depressed, a lot of feelings all at once, and she didn't know how to deal with it. Luna released her feelings once more on the wildlife, shredding trees and tearing up grass until there was nothing left to release. She was empty, no more tears to cry, no more emotions to spill, not even a single thought to cross her mind. This was it, there was no way she would ever be able to move on, now.

"Hello, little kit. Are you okay?"

A voice Luna didn't recognize, but one that would lead to her glory. A lifestyle of hunting. A lifestyle of battle.. the lifestyle of a wildcat.

This is the story of how Luna, a former kittypet kit, became Shadekit, Shadepaw, and then Shadestrike, becoming a Warrior to Thunderclan, who has since become a ShadowClan warrior, and later, Elder. As of now, Shadestrike is deceased. Her death is drowning, saving a kit who had wondered too far, almost drowning themself. The current dragged her under, and Shadestrike had previously been fatigued, unable to fight the water.
