## Physical Description

Very big, muscular, tall Tom with an Oak-Brown Mackerel Tabby pelt. He's a Norwegian Skogkatt with frosty white under markings, dark Oak-Brown stripes, ginger, and dark ginger points. Ginger nose, tufts, and dark brown paw pads, very long, sharp claws. Very long, fluffy fur with a plumed tail. He wears an orange poppy flower on his right ear. A seared scar behind his right shoulder that he got after being hit by a monster while trying to save his adopted kit Buttercup. He has bright, glowing Amber eyes

## Personality

He's Outgoing, brave, hot-headed, egotistical, ambitious, charming, loyal, caring, insecure, worried, clingy, try-hard, greedy, paranoid, harsh, two-sided, distant, protective.

-Driftslash loves to think that he's the best of all, and he's very loud about it. He can come off as pretty full of himself, but he does this not only because he's egotistical, but also because he worries about what other cats think of him, and to hide how he is, he acts like he's the best, and very full of himself. Deep down, he's very anxious and paranoid and rarely gets close to another cat in fear that he might lose them. He's very clingy and loyal too, and even if you don't like him, he'll fight for you if you ever become someone he cares about. He's very protective of his family and friends.

-Driftslash rarely feels much of any emotions, he usually feels just- empty. When he finds something that makes him feel something, he will cherish that thing forever, and will likely continue to get it/do it no matter what, just to feel something. This can go as far as to ki77ing another clanmate, or even being abus1v3. He feels the most emotion when fantasizing about becoming the leader of all of the Clans, or being the best Warrior in all the Clans. He also feels heavy emotions when near his mate Swiftgaze, and kits. He only really cares for his social status and loved ones, otherwise, nothing else matters to him.

## Life

### **Kithood**

As a kit, Driftslash, at the time known as Dipper, was very sweet and playful. He still is, but as a kit, he was even more so. Driftslash has a deep love for his family and friends, and when those things are taken away from him, he can be a \*very\* cruel and uncaring. This is what happened to him when the deer-hunters came to go hunting in his family's camp. Without realizing it, he and his family went on a hunting trip, but they were too close to the deer-hunters. The deer-hunters ended up shooting Driftslash's father, his mother later died, because she made the decision not to move from her mate's grave, leading to her starvation. Driftslash's sister, Roxanna, ran away. Roxanna later appeared to say her last goodbye to her brother, Driftslash. Roxanna never told Driftslash were she was going, but Driftslash knew he wouldn't see her for quite a while. For the next few moons of his kithood, he lived alone near a twolegplace.

### **Early Life**

Eventually, Driftslash was found by no-furs. The no-furs ended up taking him to a shelter, where he was later adopted by two elderly no-furs. When Driftslash arrived at the no-furs cabin, he met some new cats who were also living there; Nastya, Anatoly, Katya, and Kasha. The no-furs gave Driftslash the name Myshka. The next few moons of his life were very average, despite his lack of emotion and loneliness that he felt, due to the attack that happened to his family. Driftslash never truly saw the cats he was living with as a family, or even friends for that matter. Although, he did one day find a kit while outside hunting. It had been snowing hard, and Driftslash wasn't sure who's kit it was, so he took it inside and raised it as his own. To this day, he does not know who the parents are. Driftslash named the kit Buttercup and cherished him dearly. Sadly, one day, Driftslash and the kit were playing outside, when suddenly, Buttercup raced onto the thunderpath, in an attempt to catch a butterfly. Driftslash darted towards the kit, trying to save him, but it was too late. Buttercup had been hit by the monster and had died. After that, no matter how much pain Driftslash may have felt in his shoulder or body, the most pain he felt was in his heart. For quite some time, Driftslash had simply slept, sometimes not even getting up to get water or groom himself. After some time though, he realized that Buttercup wouldn't have liked to see him like this, and he decided to make the decision of leaving the no-furs cabin. He left later that day, with hopes of finding some other place to live, where he could escape his problems.

### **Warrior**

Eventually, Driftslash found some ShadowClan cats on patrol. At the time, Driftslash truly looked like a pure-bred Clan cat, despite his long silky fur. This made the ShadowClan cats consider taking him to the Clan. Driftslash decided that it might be worth a try, so he followed them to camp. The following morning, the ShadowClan cats came back with news for Driftslash; he was excepted into the Clan. Driftslash was very excited and worked very hard. It took some time for cats to get used to seeing him though, especially because of his studded collar, silky kittypet fur, and overall kittypet attitude. As time went on, the ShadowClan cats started feeling more comfortable around him, and before he knew it, he was almost fully accepted as a Clan cat.
