Shadow

## Appearance & Personality

Shadow is a light cream she-cat. She has a white diamond chest marking as well as a white tail-tip. Her ear tips and front left paw are also white markings. She has powerful muscles that ripple under her pelt. She is strong, agile and is always fit.

Shadow is a tough one for sure. She is strict and doesn't deal with weak cats very well. She is a strong introvert and rarely talks to others at all. She is angry a lot of the time as she doesn't deal with stress very well. Although she can be tough and have a hard personality, but she also has a kind and compassionate side if you can get it out of her. If anything, she is most of the time trying to take control of the situation to make it bend to her liking. One thing that others may actually admire her for is the strong and brave fighting spirit to keep going. Determination. She doesn't back down without a big reason or a fight.

## Brief History

Shadow's first name was Sun. Sun was born as a rogue and was given care by her mother to learn to hunt and fight. She was seven moons old when her mother died. She wandered for several days until she came upon ThunderClan. She trained as a warrior apprentice known as Sunpaw. Eventually, she was made a warrior named Sunshadow.

It was not long before she realized that Clan life was not suited to her liking and she left for Trunk's group in a ravine near her own border. After joining she realized how weak a leader Trunk really was. She soon challenged her the day they took the name, BloodClan. She is now the leader of BloodClan, strong and ready for battle.

Shadow has lead Bloodclan through strength and discipline. When BloodClan needed something, she took to opportunity to attack clan. She and her warriors attack WindClan numerous times, and a few times, SkyClan. She has taken many lives. This may include Rabbitpaw, a WindClan apprentice, the first life of Woolystar, and 4 whole lives from Perchstar. Shadow has even taken a kit from it's clan. Although she returned it, she would have kept the kit if she had the chance.

Shadow has been a cunning individual and soon her reign over BloodClan will end. When? No one knows.

## Detailed History

### Rogue Life

When Sun was born, it was in a large oak forest, filled to the brim with apple trees. Her mother, a rogue, took care of her for several moons. Teaching her from the moment she opened her eyes to heal, fight and hunt. She caught her first mouse at the age of 3 moons. She was a kind and compassionate young kit then, looking for a warm and happy place to settle. She planned to have kits eventually with a lover, but she never did because at the age of 7 moons, all that happiness was ripped away from her.

Sun and her mother were attacked by 2 vicious dogs. Sun climbed a tree, but her mother... her mother fell while climbing up the tree. She died that day. Sun was torn apart and became vicious in return. She grew hard and tough, many rogues feared her. She attacked needlessly at dogs, trying to revenge her mother, even if she knew that she was gone forever..

### ThunderClan Life

She wandered at young apprentice age until she found ThunderClan. The leader offered her a place among their fighters. She accepted and started her training as a warrior apprentice. Her mentor was kind and compassionate. It brought some of the life back into the poor ripped apart Sun. Sun was renamed with an apprentice name, Sunpaw.

Eventually, Sunpaw was made into a fine warrior, one of the best fighters. Sunshadow was the name she was given for her warrior name. She spent one moon as a warrior without even caring. Clan life just seemed..

### BloodClan Life

She found that the Clan's way of life, was soft and kittypet like. She had heard from some of the others at the gathering that some warriors had left their Clans. She was informed by a rogue on the border of a group of rogues was being created by Trunk, a former Riverclan warrior. She left ThunderClan, following the scent of Bumble, the former RiverClan medicine cat. She caught up and they faced Trunk together. She left the half of her name that was given to her by her own mother. She was now known as Shadow. She led the new group to a ravine by the ThunderClan border to be set as the camp. She got a sense that Trunk was slightly weaker than she could have hoped and she got the idea of becoming the leader of the group herself.

A few days later, she was hunting along the very border she had came from. She found Sunnygrove and Wingsoar hunting across the border. She challenged them for a lizard they had caught. Trunk had come to her side and Shadow locked into battle with Wingsoar. When Trunk called the retreat, she scorned her for showing weakness.

On the day of the gathering, she spied upon the Clans, hearing the news of the rogue group at the gathering. They had called them to be something as BloodClan. She ran off toward the camp. Trunk enforced the name of BloodClan and Shadow challenged her for leadership saying that she was weak and they needed a strong leader like her. Trunk accepted her challenge and they fought. In the end, Shadow won and was the new leader of BloodClan, strong and fit for battle.

She told the cats of the group, "Do not dwell upon the past with Trunk, look towards the future with me." Incorporating how she was the new leader. She turned to look at the body of Trunk and she tore a claw from the cat's body and inputted it into her dark red bloody collar. May she be known as Shadow, Leader of BloodClan from now on.

### Leadership

Shadow was strong. She established the pit fights to happen every 4 moons. In honor of the BloodClan way. She allowed many new cats into the Clan, making sure each deserved their position. She knew that Trunk had established different ranks and decided to do the same. Shadow named 4 cats to have certain roles or ranks within the Clan. She gave Flame the rank of Fighter. She directed them to train the others to fight. Shadow gave Bumble to position of Healer. Their job was to train the cats to heal, although he was still required to fight. She established Katrina as the Collar Creator. She said that this role in the Clan was not allowed to fight and simply is there to make sure each Clan member got a collar. Snapdragon was given the role of Herb Gatherer. They were to gather herbs and were not permitted to fight unless the absolute need arose. Shadow made these roles and decided that they made the Clan stronger. She has lived with BloodClan, as their leader for several moons now and doesn't seem to have much competition for leadership so far.

Shadow decided once to attack SkyClan for their herbs and prey. BloodClan instantly followed at her side. The cats who she brought with her stole some prey and some herbs. Shadow was able to take a life of Perchstar in the process.

On the night in which the Dark Forest attacked at the gathering and the moon turned red, she took it as an invite. It was time to attack the clans again. Blood would be spilled once again in a clan... Or would it? The only thing that kept the bloodthirsty she-cat at bay was the lack of water for her warriors. She kept living for a while, before finally deciding it was time to make a move. Shadow led the group to the lake deep into SkyClan territory on the night of a gathering. It was a dangerous mission, but her cats were all battle ready. Unluckily, she was met by the returning cats from the gathering as they began to drink their fill. Perchstar and the other returning SkyClan cats were coming home already toward their camp. When they reached the lake and found BloodClan drinking their water, most would have been infuriated, but the leader of SkyClan saw this as an opportunity and made a deal with Shadow. BloodClan could drink as much water as they would like from the lake in return for supplies from other clans. Shadow reluctantly agreed, seeing no big harm in the idea.

A little later, a few days or so, Perchstar came to the BloodClan's camp and asked for their help. Shadow agreed and gathered her cats for the battle. They made the trek over to WindClan, knowing that they would probably be easiest. In the end, Fadingstar lost a life to a BloodClan warrior and Shadow killed an apprentice, Rabbitpaw for refusing the one offer to join BloodClan. They ended the battle after stealing almost all of the freshkill on WindClan's pile and returning to SkyClan. They stole a rabbit for themselves, but at the moment, the deal seemed to be working! About a week later, Perchstar returned, this time requesting herbs.Once again, Bloodclan attacked Windclan, taking what little herbs they had and giving half to Skyclan in return.

Shadow has made one vital mistake. She has taken Cardinalkit, Rosestar's daughter. She plans to manipulate the kit into hating the clans, and one day joining her in BloodClan, but of course, to avoid more war, she plans to return the kit soon.

With a few other warriors of BloodClan, they were drinking water from the lake in SkyClan when they spotted RiverClan, stealing prey. BloodClan raided the clan on their own accord, stealing what little prey they had. In the end, Shadow had taken a life from Woolystar.

BloodClan and Shadow took a big advantage of WindClan so far, and it has drove them insane to the point of loving to raid them. When they returned from a third raid on WindClan, which, in itself was less successful than their other ones, Shadow fought the new leader, Pinestar. They returned to the SkyClan camp, giving all the herbs they acquired during the battle. Shadow turned around, instead, wondering what the clan did with the supplies after the clan left. She hid in the bushes and shadows, completely hidden from sight. She saw that WindClan had seen their patrol arrive at their ally's camp and she instantly knew one thing. Perchstar could easily betray them at every moment now. She knew one thing that could cause havoc, chaos and maybe a little bit of unhappiness.

And in fact, they did! BloodClan attended the gathering, seeing it as an opportunity to cause trouble. Shadow spoke, hinting of their ally ship with SkyClan. In the end, they were no longer allies, no, not one bit. To get revenge, Shadow led an attack upon SkyClan, to reclaim all that they have given them. BloodClan won, but at the same time lost. Shadow killed Perchstar, taking all 3 of her remaining lives. Although the raiding clan didn't get all of the supplies back, they had already done something evil.

### Known Accomplishments and Death

Shadow died at the claws of Flame on September 6th. They fought on the night of the pit fights, but clearly Shadow had grown savage, desperate beyond measure. She was dangerous, but one with wit could have easily beat her and so they did. When she died, she was accepted into the Aspguard. But how might a rogue come to believe in the Dark Forest? Well, when Shadow was apart of ThunderClan, she grew accustomed, although she never fully understood StarClan, she had heard of the evil, ruthless... Dark Forest. Shadow, instead of believing in StarClan, took the dark path and followed the Dark Forest. Those of BloodClan may have not known or realized, but Shadow did.

During her lifetime, she defeated many different opponents. Killing many as well. These may include: (Probably a few more I forgot about o-o)

* Rabbitpaw, a WindClan apprentice on the 1st BloodClan raid on WindClan.
* 1st life from Woolystar on the BloodClan raid to RiverClan.
* 1 life from Perchstar in first BloodClan raid on SkyClan, and then her final 3 lives in the final raid upon the clan.
