Appearance

Short Description :

A gray tabby smoke bi-color tom with dark gold eyes

Long Description :

Shadedpaw was given his name due to his dark coat. Being a black tabby smoke, his fur is a whirl of grey, black and white. The color consists mainly of a dark grey with faint black stripes, seen mainly in the sun. The white that appears on him shows in sharp contrast to his majority of dark. His white markings consist mainly of a white ruff, which fades into his chest, four white paws and a white spot on the left lip of his muzzle. The whiskers on his face are all white as well and give him a rather comical look. He has longer fur than his sister, soft dark fur that, though it does not shine like a sleek pelt, is more silky than it looks. His eyes are a dark gold in color, blending in well with Natures dark color scheme for him.

Personality

From the moment he was born, Shadedpaw has always been loud and energetic. He absolutely adores being the center of positive attention, but sometime can be a bit rebellious. He is still as adventurous and mischievous as ever, though more cautious. Feisty and proud, he also has the stubbornness of the family bloodline, which often means the clashing of heads, especially when tempers flare. He tends towards impatience, and long waits make him bad-tempered. When he puts his mind to it, he is has fierce determination which tends to get him into trouble as well. When he is upset, feels frustrated or feels just plain helpless, his anger tends to flare, as is often the case when they speak of his mothers death. When he makes up his mind about something, Shadedpaw is near impossible to dissuade. In the past he was brash and rash (two very excellent words, but not good things to be), but his temperament has slightly calmed with age.

Full History :

Shadedkit really hadn't lead much of an exciting life until the passing of his mother. Supposedly, her death was what made him such a pawful. The elders think that hopefully, being an apprentice will teach him the discipline he needs and calm down the little ball of energetic fluff.

And it worked, for the most part. Shadedpaw has since calmed, and has a lot more sense. He is intelligent and crafty, loyal and brave; he has more caution and tact now, though he is not very good at either one. His extremely long apprenticeship made him irritable and prickly, but the moment he gained his Warrior name, all was forgotten. The newly-named Shadedstrike stood his triumphant vigil on the seventeenth day of Leopard's Rest (2006).

Early in Melting Waters (2007), Shadedstrike's pneumonia returned, and with a vengeance. It moved remarkably swiftly, moving from what he thought was a minor cold to a full-blown hacking, wheezing sickness. By the end of that month, Shadedstrike was desperately ill and beyond the aid of any medicine cat. On the 25th of Melting Waters (2007), Shadedstrike's life ended.
