## History

### **Post-New Clans**

Sunshadow was born in the small forest region between the flatlands and the twoleg town with his sister Honey. The two lived blissfully playing around and getting food from twolegs. This all change with the arrival of two new cats, Stempaw and Graypaw who caught Sun's interest of the two and Stempaw taught him about clan life which makes Sun interested about clan life. However Graypaw didn't think Sun needed to know about everything which annoyed Sun but Stempaw took him along to this new clan a molly named Whistlepaw talked about. Sun was made Sunpaw and at the time to his horror, he was apprenticed to Graysnow but was pleasantly suprised to see that Graysnow was a good mentor but he started to miss his sister and wondered if he would ever see her again.

Sunpaw was excited to go to his first gathering to hopefully meet the apprentices of Sparrowclan and Foamclan, while saddened that Sparrowclan had no apprentices(at the time) he met up with Otterpaw and Conepaw of Foamclan who were shocked to hear about life in the flatlands and he about the marsh. However, the climax of the first gathering of the clans was reached when Nightheart burst out of the bushes bleeding horribly with Wolfsky and two other cats behind him, and behind those two other cats Sunpaw's sister Honey. After getting to see Nightheart, now Nightstar's leadership ceremony he now had den mates, Stormpaw, Echopaw, and now his sister Honeypaw who was apprenticed to Stempounce which meant that they would most likely spend a lot of time training side by side. The three and apprentices and Sunpaw quickly all became close friends while Sunpaw grew a slight crush on the pretty Echopaw who he saw as a skillful hunter.

Sunpaw also found himself supporting Stormpaw after his mentor, Wolfsky stopped training him after the death of his mate Moonbranch but he had to focus on getting ready for his final assessment. Sunpaw was the same age as the other apprentices but due to the fact that they joined the clan later there ceremonies would be delayed, Sunpaw however would become and warrior even more sooner than them due to the events of that winter day. Sunpaw was staying in the medicine den after a hunting accident when he heard a barking noise close to the entrance of the camp where he saw a dog. Thinking quickly, he tried to scare it off only for the dog to charge him which he was able to barely dog he and the dog then got tangled together but since the dog was small for most dogs he barely got a bite on Sunpaw. While Sunpaw did get a would he dealt multiple wounds on the dog and bit its muzzle and clawed his side and belly repeatedly as the other warriors chased the dog off.

The next day, he was made a warrior Sunshadow and was ready to meet Conepaw and Otterpaw at the next gathering, however he was shocked to see the number of new apprentices two new apprentices in Foamclan; Lakepaw and Mistlepaw, in Sparrowclan: Cobwebpaw, Hootpaw, and Dewpaw, and in this new clan Pineclan: Talonpaw, Sootpaw, and Turtlepaw. He went over to talk to the newly made warrior Tigerhawk who had only trained for 2 moons but the tom seemed anxious and traumatized. Sunshadow would see his friends become warriors after him Stormshade, Honeypelt, and Echowish.

### Personality

Sunshadow is a joyful cat who finds strength is his friends Stormshade, Echowish, and his sister Honeypelt. Sunshadow is a quick and agressive fighter which increases after the dog attack. Sunshadow still feels like he needs to improve his standing within Gorseclan and the older warriors. he also wants to impress Echowish, who he has a huge crush on and wants to confess to.

### **Honeypelt**

Honeypelt is Sunshadow's sister, the two have been inseparable after the loss of their parents keeping them as a connected unit. This unit was temporarily broken when Sunshadow left with Gorseclan to become Sunpaw, however eventually Honeypaw joined as well and with their mentors being siblings it made it easier for them to interact. Honeypelt always worries for her brother even though Sunshadow tells her he is fine.

### **Stormshade**

Stormshade is Sunshadow's best friend, at first Sunshadow didn't trust Stormshade when they were apprentices since it was clear he had a crush on his sister who Sunshadow was overprotective of. They connected when Wolfsky stopped training Stormshade due to Grief, so as they trained together they grew closer. Today they are the closest of friends, only Stormshade is the only one he told about his crush on Echowish and Sunshadow supports Stormshade and his sister who are now mates.

### **Echowish**

Echowish is Sunshadow's crush, he appreciates her for being close to his sister, but as they kept training, he became completely enamored with her. Echowish obviously knows he has a crush on him, and while she cares for Sunshadow only as a loyal friend, Her interests lie elsewhere. Sunshadow does little and big acts to get her attention even though every cat can tell it's not working. Sunshadow stopped talking to her after she became mates with Tigerhawk.
