## Life

### Kithood

Nightshade was born as Night in a two cat litter with her sister Petal. Her mother, Diamond, was a kitty-pet while her father, Graystorm, was a exiled loner. When she was only 3 moons old a large group of savage rouges attacked the family. Her mother had enough time to hide Petal, but Night wasn't able to before her parents were killed in the onslaught. The rouge group took the young Night to be raised to be a feared and heartless killer.

### Young Life

From a young age she was raised within a group and the memory of her family and there tragic ending became a blur as she was trained to kill. There were other cats her age, among them was a tom named Oak. It seemed he was born only a moon before her. They trained together and worked together to take down any of there opponents. She grew to be a silent killer, with swift slashes and quick attacks. As she got older her and Oak became closer and the she-cat fell in love with the tom. They loved in secret as love was looked down upon in the rouge group. When she became pregnant of his kits he promised to take her away to raise their family together. Just as they were about to make there escape from the group she saw the tom with another she-cat that was newer to the group. In a blind fury, Night killed him and the she-cat. Though out the night the she-cat killed many of the group. Though as the sun rose she became overpowered and fled with only scratches and a bleeding ear to show of the bloodshed she had created.

As she had walked the days seemed to blur. Not knowing how to take care of her cuts they began to eat with infection, though with the stress and weakness of her body she kitted moons before they were ready. Through sharp pains and the thick smell of blood she delivered 3 kits. The kits didn't make it.

### Clan Life

After her kits had passed away the she-cat collapsed as she finally gave in to the darkness. Though she was found in her state by the Shadowclan leader,Rainstar, with a patrol. The next moment Night remembered is waking in the medicine den where she spent moons healing from her infection and battle wounds. In that time Rainstar had made her an medicine cat apprentice to try and tame her fiery temper. Due to her being in the medicine den most of of her day she didn't even realize that her sister Petal, now Petalheart, was a warrior in Shadowclan Yet when she accidentally almost ruined all the herbs Rainstar finally made her a warrior apprentice. Training the she-cat herself Rainstar gave her the name Nightpaw when she proved to be one of the clan. Little while after that she saw her sister, drown trying to save a kit. To remembered her sister she watched Riverclan cats and taught herself to swim. Not being able to get good at hunting frogs or shrews due to the slippery pine floor she stumbled onto a underground tunnel system where she often ended up hunting. Due to her lean frame she was able to hunt rabbits and snakes easily in the dark caves. Finally after becoming a real warrior she got the name Nightfeather. During this time tension between Thunderclan and Shadowclan grew so she patrolled the territory often. Finding out that Thunderclan was low of warriors from the flood she went to Furstar, the new leader, and asked if she would be able to go to the clan temporarily and help them get back to there paws. Enraged by her offer Furstar told her to pick a clan to be loyal too, seeing the she-cat as a traitor for thinking of leaving the clan. With thought she had left Shadowclan in the night, not without hearing Furstar announce that they planned to attack Thunderclan at sunrise.

Quickly running to Thunderclan she asked to join and when the Thunderclan leader, Thornstar, was hesitant Nightfeather told him the warning of the attack that gained the toms trust and allowed her to join Thunderclan back under the name Night. As word spread of her joining cats of the clan began to have a hatred towards her as they didn't trust the black she-cat. Among those cats were Vineripple, Creekfrost, and Lightningpaw. Even with the termoil between Vineripple and Thornstar over leadership Night sided with Thornstar. Soon she got the new name Nightshade as she finally became a warrior of Thunderclan. As moons passed she and the Thunderclan leader grew closer and she began to fall in love with him. One night she had led him into the tunnels to show him her old hunting grounds when she was apart of Shadowclan, though when they returned to camp she was confronted by Vineripple. Giving a comment of the she-cat liking the tom Nightshade ran off in embarrassment. Finding Nightshade back in the tunnels she confessed what Vinerippple had said was correct, but added that she would be ok if they didn't become mates as long as they stayed friends.

One day, her and Vineripple got into a fierce argument, Nightshade snapping at Vineripple that she wasn't 'fast enough' to save Skyfall, a tom who the she-cat was close to at the time while Vineripple shot back saying that Nightshade didn't save Petal. Sending her back into a raged state, much like one fro when she was a rouge, she started attacking the tabby she-cat. Thornstar had to break up the two and seeing the fear in his eyes she left the clan for a few days.

Moons after the encounter between the two she-cats Nightshade took Thornstar into the territory to ask if he would be mates with her. Heisant with her he said he'd think about it making her happy. However days later she had seen Vineripple and Thornstar close and confessing their feelings to each other. In a heartbroken state she stepped forward to tell her enemy to take car of him before she turn and ran off in the rain.

(I know there was a long bit after this but it makes me cringe so no. never happened)

One day as she shared prey with a clanmate, Badgersong, she found out that he was one of the kits from her first litter before she joined Shadowclan. Overjoyed Nightshade explained his given name was Eagle, later he changed his name to Eaglesong to honor her.

Later, Nightshade realized that Vineripple was pregnant and told her. After her kits were born, they got into a small argument and went hunting. Nightshade led her into the tunnels wear a baby badger attacked them. Nightshade killed it, however then the mother came. Nightshade told Vineripple to run and she did. The black she-cat escaped the tunnels, but later realized that Vineripple had gotten lost down there.

During this time, she met a tom named Echo. Even though she didn't love him completely, she became mates with him to try and fix the hole that Thornstar had left in her heart. She gave birth to Echo's kits, and only one, Wolfkit, survived. Later, her and Echo ended their relationship, however she was pregnant with his kits once more. One night, Thornstar and Nightshade were walking through the territoy together reminising on each others lives and talking about what would have changed when Nightshade started kitting. Soon Skybright and Eaglesong joined her, but at that point it was to late and she had already passed. Her last words were telling Thornstar that she will always love him.

### Afterlife

When she woke up after her death she found herself in the Dark Forest, claiming it was because of her past and all the cats she had killed. Yet soon Thornstar and Petalheart both found Nightshade and brought her to Starclan where her shadows still hung on her pelt.
