Cat: Falconstar
Personality: The Shadowclan leader is a bold and stoic cat. Not one to be pushed around, she is incredibly tough and strong-willed. However, she also has a good heart, and believes that being honorable is more important than pride. She is often the first to get defensive, but also the first to lend a paw to any cat in need. She doesn't judge a cat based on their past, rather, she watches to see if their actions match their words. Falconstar despises disloyalty, but she does her best not to let her personal feelings get in the way of being just and fair.
Backstory: Falconstar grew up as an only child in Shadowclan. Raised by a single mother, Freezefall, she was very independent as an apprentice and a warrior. Her closest friends were her mate, Firspeckle, and his best friend, Fleetflame. Firspeckle was killed by a badger only a few moons after the birth of her second litter, leaving her alone once more. While she misses him greatly, she has been able to move on and continue leading the clan well. Falconstar is a kind and nurturing mother to her two litters. She is exceptionally proud of both Darkpaw and Brushpaw for the hard work they put into the clan, and she believes that Slowkit will be just as skilled as the two of them are. While she isn't approving of Brushpaw's attitude, she knows that one day he'll grow out of it, just like his father did, so she is very patient with him.
Additional Description: Falconstar has sharp grey eyes.
Other: Falconstar's first litter is Darkpaw and Brushpaw. Her second litter is Slowkit. Their father, Firspeckle, is dead.


Cat: Rapidear
Personality: Rapidear is a jovial, somewhat impulsive cat. Though she can be a bit much to handle, she is extremely likeable and charismatic. Extroverted and energetic, she runs the clan with a seemingly limitless energy, rising early in the morning and one of the last ones to turn in at night. The deputy's mind moves faster than her paws sometime; while she's a bit of a clumsy fighter, she is a mastermind when it comes to strategy, and she often finds innovative solutions to the clan's problems. Rapidear gets bouts of anxiety and restlessness when she is unable to figure something out, and she faces burnout a lot when she overworks herself. Nevertheless, she is a dependable and kind-hearted deputy who wants nothing but the best for her clan.
Backstory: Rapidear was born into Shadowclan and raised by her parents, Russetfall and Springpool. While her father is long deceased, her mother resides in the elders den. Despite being exceptionally busy with her duties, Rapidear always makes time to sit with the elders and glean as much wisdom from them as she can.
Additional Description: Rapidear has yellow eyes.
Other: Rapidear's mother is Russetfall, she has no siblings, no kits, no mate, and her father Springpool is dead.


Cat: Pineblaze
Personality: Fiery and dramatic, Pineblaze is quite the medicine cat. With a flair for drama and a love of being in the spotlight, she is surprisingly arrogant and full of confidence. She adores attention, but doesn't try too hard to attract it. While she can appear to be nothing more than obnoxious, Pineblaze is also an incredibly selfless cat. She works tirelessly to help her patients and the other cats of the clan and dismisses any praise as she is simply doing her duty. The medicine cat is excellent at teaching as well, and is often called on to aid apprentices who are having trouble grasping a concept. She is very proud of her apprentice, Darkpaw, and likes to embarrass her pupil in front of her peers.
Backstory: Pineblaze grew up outside of the clan with many siblings, some biological and some adopted, making her the rowdy personality she is today. Despite her harsher background, she is optimistic and grateful for the life she's lived both within Shadowclan and before it. She joined the clan when she was around 7 moons old, called by Starclan to replace the medicine apprentice who had suddenly died just before her arrival. Pineblaze misses her mentor, Greywish, dearly.
Additional Description: Pineblaze has amber eyes.
Other: Pineblaze's parents, Juno and Spritz, are both rogues. Of her siblings, two - Hera and Io - are rogues, one - Skittles - is a kittypet, and two - Flip and Sandy - are loners. She has no mate or kits.


Cat: Darkpaw
Personality: Darkpaw is very much an introvert. Terrified of failure, she also has a significant amount of anxiety regarding her role as a future medicine cat, despite her love for her work. Analytical and practical, she enjoys experimenting and researching medicine and documenting her findings. One of her biggest dreams is to discover something that will advance their knowledge of medicine and be used for generations. Another reason for her anxiety stems not from her insecurities, but from her slight attraction to Hollykit, who is only a moon younger than her and ready to be apprenticed himself. She's unsure what to do about it, but Falconstar's leadership leads her to be hopeful that the rules about medicine cats would be liable to change. Darkpaw's anxiety means that she has a hard time connecting with other cats, no matter who they are. She has good relationships with both her mother and her mentor, but she's not as close with her brother, Brushpaw, and her sister, Slowkit. Darkpaw misses being able to do everything with Brushpaw, and she feels like it's her fault that her brother has taken on such an arrogant attitude. She wishes that she could spend more time with him, but her duties keep her from him a lot of the time. While she loves Slowkit dearly, she wasn't able to get to know her younger sister very well thanks to already being an apprentice when Slowkit was born.
Backstory: Darkpaw carries a lot of grief for her father, since the quiet tom was a great source of comfort for her when she was little. Despite this, she does her best to move on and stay positive.
Additional Description: Darkpaw has deep brown eyes.
Other: Darkpaw's mother is Falconstar, and her father, Firspeckle, is dead. Her littermate is Brushpaw and her sister is Slowkit. She has a slight crush on Hollykit.


Cat: Fleetflame
Personality: A hotheaded, no-nonsense cat, Fleetflame is a warrior one does not want to cross. He is impatient, unsympathetic, and bossy. On the other paw, there is no cat more loyal, more selfless, and more courageous than he. As a 'paw, he was more impulsive, but as time passed, he grew out of it. However, much of that growth was also part of his friendship with Firspeckle, a much quieter, but also much less reckless tom. Now, Fleetflame is a dedicated (if at times annoying) warrior with a much more sensible nature. He remains very close to the leader, Falconstar, but has expressed a strong desire to never become leader.
Backstory: Raised in Shadowclan, Fleetflame grew up with his best friend, Firspeckle. The two were closer than anything until Firspeckle's death, which hit the surviving tom hard. After that, Fleetflame became decidedly less impulsive. A few moons following the tom's death, Fleetflame found two young kits who had been abandoned on Shadowclan territory and decided to take them in as his own. He loves Hollykit and Dawnkit with every hair on his pelt, and he shares the same devotion to his apprentice, Mudpaw (even if he's less obvious about it).
Additional Description: Fleetflame has burning amber eyes.
Other: Fleetflame's parents, Aspenwing and Needleprick are both dead. His best friend, Firspeckle (Falconstar's mate) is also dead. His adoptive son is Hollykit and adoptive daughter is Dawnkit. His apprentice is Mudpaw.


Cat: Losttail
Personality: Usually seen grinning about something, Losttail is a surprisingly jovial cat. He enjoys playing harmless pranks on all of the cats in the clan, and is generally very charismatic and likeable. He keeps the clan lighthearted, raising their spirits whenever possible. Losttail can often be found in the medicine den, cheering up any patients he finds there. Overall, he is well-known as the most entertaining cat in Shadowclan. Hidden away however, is a striking hopelessness. Despite his obvious attempts to be optimistic, Losttail lived through a lot of trauma in the past, which left behind some nasty scars, both physical and mental. While he's not quite depressed, he's also terribly lonely.
Backstory: Losttail's name stems from two unfortunate incidents. The first, being that he was brought into the clan because he was lost in the forest, wandering as a kit. He didn't know who his parents were or what had happened to them. The tail suffix came when a monster ran over it, shattering the end until only a stump was able to be saved. While both incidents were sad, Losttail doesn't really mind his name at all. The warrior has also been quite a bit taken with his denmate, Webstem, for some time now, adding a little more spring to his step than usual.
Additional Description: Losttail has light blue eyes.
Other: Losttail's parents are unknown. He has no known siblings, no kits, and no mate. He is romantically interested in Webstem.


Cat: Fenneltuft
Personality: Fenneltuft is a very simple tom. He's not hot-headed, but he isn't a pushover, either. The former warrior is just a kind, rather plain-seeming cat who most would overlook. What most don't bother to find out is that he also happens to be incredibly clever. Observant with a hidden playful side, Fenneltuft uses the fact that cats underestimate him to his advantage. Although his warrior days are over, he still enjoys a good challenge, and often helps Falconstar by giving her advice. While he used to be more energetic, the tragedy of losing three of his four kits left him much more tired than before.
Backstory: Fenneltuft lived a long and happy life in the clan, alongside his mate, Oaksky. Sadly, there was a harsh leaf-bare following Oaksky's kitting, and only one of their kits - now an apprentice, Mudpaw - survived. His grief, along with his mate's, combined with their age prompted them to retire as elders. He is incredibly proud of his son, but wishes that he could do more to help Mudpaw.
Additional Description: Fenneltuft has light green eyes.
Other: Fenneltuft's parents are long deceased. His mate is Oaksky. His living son is Mudpaw; Mudpaw's littermates, Robinkit, Mosskit, and Stripekit, are all dead.


Cat: Oaksky
Personality: A beautiful she-cat, Oaksky is soft and sweet and gentle. Never much of a good warrior, she often wonders if she should have been a medicine cat; however, she loved her mate, Fenneltuft, too much to give him up. Oaksky, while a weak (and reluctant) fighter, is an expert tracker. She also, if given a solid enough pep talk beforehand, is an excellent spy, who has been key to many decisive Shadowclan victories in the past. However, her mellow demeanor meant that she spent much more of her time helping queens, until it was her turn to raise kits. Though she misses her deceased kits greatly, she puts all of her energy into raising Mudpaw into the best cat he can be.
Backstory: Oaksky lost her mother and sister when she was a kit, and it made her extremely shy as an apprentice. She soon fell in love with the surprisingly quick-witted Fenneltuft, and they spent many happy moons together before her first litter was born. Through a hard leaf-bare, only she and her son, Mudpaw, pulled through. She and her mate decided to retire once Mudpaw became an apprentice, although she still helps out all the time around camp.
Additional Description: Oaksky has soft blue eyes.
Other: Oaksky's parents are long deceased. Her mate is Fenneltuft, and her son is Mudpaw. Her deceased kits are Robinkit, Stripekit, and Mosskit. Her sister, Ashkit, died not long after Oaksky's birth.


Cat: Russetfall
Personality: Russetfall is a very sweet older she-cat. By far the eldest member of Shadowclan, she often gets lost in tales of the past. Though her strength is beginning to fade, she has a calming, steady aura about her that suggests there is still a lot of life in her. The former warrior is respectful and intuitive, knowing what to say and when. Thanks to this, she isn't a big talker, unless it comes to stories.
Backstory: Russetfall lived a long life in Shadowclan alongside her mate, Snowfoot, and daughter, Rapidear. She misses her mate a lot, but she is unbelievably proud of Rapidear and supports her with everything in her. The elder has also become closer friends with Fenneltuft and Oaksky, and treats them as though they were her siblings.
Additional Description: Russetfall has one yellow eye and one extremely blurry eye, barely showing a yellow hue.
Other: Russetfall's parents are long deceased. Her brother, Tawnywhisker, is also dead. Her mate, Snowfoot, died a few seasons ago. Her daughter is Rapidear.


Cat: Slowkit
Personality: Slowkit is a very cautious, sensible kit. Unlike most, she keeps herself out of trouble and is generally well-behaved. She is not, however, quiet; she is actually quite a chatterbox, and she enjoys learning new things. Slowkit constantly asks questions of her clanmates, but stops if she finds she is bothering them. She looks up to her siblings, Brushpaw especially, and she sees the more gentle side of him. Slowkit hopes to become a deputy someday, to be as good at running things as her mother is.
Backstory: Slowkit was born into the clan only five moons ago, and she barely knew her father before his death. She still misses him terribly, but she loves her remaining family very much and is grateful to have them.
Additional Description: Slowkit has pretty brown eyes.
Other: Slowkit's mother is Falconstar; her father, Firspeckle, is dead. Her older siblings (not littermates) are Brushpaw and Darkpaw.


Cat: Hollykit
Personality: A lively young kit, he is capricious and silly, while also a bit shy about it. Hollykit is very smart, picking things up almost immediately after learning them. The kit is easygoing and easy to talk to, and works hard when needed, although he can be a bit lazy. However, he finds that his interests lie in medicine, and experiments; while he would also love being a warrior, Hollykit feels as though he'd serve the clan better as a healer. The catch is, there's already a medicine cat apprentice. However, he is unfazed by this, and is eager to begin learning things as soon as possible. While his only real friend is his sister, Dawnkit, he's completely fine with this, and cherishes his littermate dearly.
Backstory: Hollykit was abandoned by his parents about a quarter-moon by being found by his adoptive father, Fleetflame. He loves his father a lot, and is entirely devoted to protecting both him and his sister, Dawnkit.
Additional Description: Hollykit has bright blue eyes.
Other: Hollykit's parents are unknown. His adoptive father is Fleetflame. His sister is Dawnkit.


Cat: Dawnkit
Personality: Dawnkit wants to be leader someday. Ambitious and impossible to embarrass, she finds great joy in trying everything she can, even if she ends up failing miserably. However, she is a promising kit, already showing talent for combat. She also has a way with words, making her a kit that most everyone is friends with and likes, even if she can be a bit airheaded at times. Dawnkit fiercely loves her brother, Hollykit, defending him above all else, even though she wishes he would be a bit less lazy and a bit more keen on making more friends. She has a good, kind, heart, and is open to anyone, believing that everyone deserves forgiveness.
Backstory: Dawnkit, along with her littermate Hollykit, was abandoned by her parents until Fleetflame adopted them. She is about ready to be apprenticed, and hopes that she will be paired with a strong warrior to learn from.
Additional Description: Dawnkit has pretty golden eyes.
Other: Dawnkit's parents are unknown. Her adoptive father is Fleetflame. Her littermate is Hollykit.
