Appearance

Short Description :

A dark brown tabby bi-color she-cat with green eyes

Long Description :

Chaser is a dark brown tabby and white she-cat. Her eyes are clear and sea-green. She also has medium-sized, pointed ears. In her left ear there is a loop of black leather with the number 251 on it in white lettering. The numbers are cracked and dirty, you can just barely make them out. It was put there by a Twoleg when Chaser was found wandering the land to close to Twolegplace. She was captured and marked with the leather loop. It is thin and it goes through the edge of her ear. Chaser has white paws and a white chest. Her tail is tipped with black and her whiskers are also black in colour. She has a dull red nose and a cracked tooth. It hurts occasionally when Chaser bites an exceptionally tough piece of prey, but it doesn't bother her too much. Her tail is short and shaggy, complete with solid black tabby markings. On her right forepaw, Chaser is missing two claws. There are assorted scars along Shadow's back and legs, all having their own stories. She is a pretty fast runner, but no faster than a WindClan cat. Overall, Chaser is a lean, well-muscled cat.

Personality

Shadow Chaser has a better temper than her son. Usually in a good mood, she's a good companion for a long trip. If you anger her, you may as well just add a few more scars to your collection, or she'll do it for you. Having a cunning charm, she makes an okay spy if you're in need of one. If you tell Chaser a secret, she'll take it with her to the grave. She mostly wants to be left alone, but when she seeks company, you might just find her on your hunting grounds. Shadow is the kind of cat who ignores boundaries and puts her best paw first. This cat is filled to the brim with sarcasm and speaks her mind freely. If you refuse to listen to her, say by speaking when she tells you to Shut It, you may get her mad. Sometimes you can't tell if Chaser is mad. She can just lash out at you, not waiting for a response. Other times, she'll talk sweetly and lure you into some kind of trap. She usually keeps other cats on their toes and looking out for the slightest flaw in her voice. Keep an eye out for an occasional trick from this cat, but if you encounter her, she's usually looking for company or an argument. She likes to argue about useless matters. Another of her good qualities.

Full History :

Shadow Chaser was born to two loners. She never knew her mother, since she died shortly after Chaser was weaned onto solid food. Instead, she bonded deeply with her father, Rock. He was a solid grey tom with kind green eyes. He was a pleasant fellow, but died at 46 moons. He was struck by a monster that had swerved off its path. When he didn't return from his hunt, Shadow worried and frantically searched for him. After about 30 minutes of following his scent trail, she found Rock's crumpled body lying next to the Thunderpath. When she saw him, Chaser let out a moan of grief. Rock was buried beneath a tall tree after Chaser sat with him, grooming his fur one last time before he rested in the grave she dug.

At 25 moons of age, Chaser met a solid black cat by the Twoleg farms. She soon learned the tom's name was Night. It suited him farely well, with him being solid black. They became friends very quickly and were rarely seen apart. Never really known as just Chaser anymore, other cats referred to them as Chaser & Night. On a moonlit night, Chaser finally realised she was in love with Night, and he confessed his love to her. At 27 moons, Chaser became pregnant with hers and Night's kits.

On a hunt that proved to be to close to Twolegplace, they decided to tease kittypets. They were bored, and really had nothing better to do. When the two cats emerged from the forest, and the kittypet fences were in sight, they were captured. A Twoleg had been tending to its garden, when it saw the two cats. It leaped up and yelled, running out of its garden quickly. Chaser and Night tried to flee the raging Twoleg, but it caught them in a dirt-smelling bag. They let out yowls and hisses of rage and thrashed about, but the Twoleg wouldn't let them go. The bag was dark and they felt the ground move under them. Soon they were dumped into a cold, spider-web-like box, barely large enough for the two of them. It smelled of odd medicines and another cat. Obviously a kittypet. A large blue thing that looked like many leaves and twigs woven together was thrown ontop of the box.

After a long moment, Chaser felt the ground move under her paws and the roar of a monster. She was in its belly. Letting out a loud shriek of anger, she began scratching at the cold spider webs that held them. Night looked up at her, he was lying down. Softly he said, "It's no use Shadow.... They caught us..." She knew he was right but she kept clawing the cold webs.

The monster stopped and the two cats were taken out, the blue woven leaves were still on them. They were taken into a strange smelling room. It smelled of fear and cold things, similar to the cold web beneath Chaser's paws. They entered another room, bursting with yowls and barks, screaming to be free of their prisons. Finally the leaves were taken off them. The light was blinding and Chaser couldn't see. A Twoleg in a white pelt opened the door of the webs and separated the two cats. A piercing pain shot through Chaser's left ear and she yowled, she heard Night yowl nearby too. They were shoved back in the webs and taken back outside. They were put inside of the back of another monster. This one had no top. There was no roof over their heads. As the monster started, and began down a Thunderpath, the cats felt the wind in their faces.

A short while, when the monster was on the Thunderpath by the edge of the forest, Chaser felt a sudden, painful jolt. The monster had collided with another. There was a loud, ear-shattering shriek of the monster's sleek fur denting and groaning. The two cats let out yowls as another monster collided with the other two. The two cats were savagely thrown out of the monster that held them. The spider webs flew across the boarder of the Thunderpath into the land next to it. The spider web crashed open, dozens of sharp points sticking out of it. Some how, Chaser managed to avoid them, but Night didn't. One of the points had struck him in the neck and he died almost instantly as others pumpled into his chest. The webs rolled down the slope and landed in a patch of dirt.

Night was buried next to Chaser's father beneath the tall tree. A few moons later, Chaser had two kits. She named them Shade and Twilight Follower. Shade died very young from not being fed enough. Shadow didn't have enough time to catch enough prey for her and her offspring, so he died. When Twilight was about 9 moons, he got separated from her on his first hunt. Shadow only scented him within RiverClan boundaries. Knowing her son was safe within RiverClan, she resumed her life for about 15 moons. Now Shadow Chaser is 53 moons old, she's almost like a shadow, following random cats, watching.... If you look behind yourself right at the break of dusk, you may just see her watching...
