:In his first real battle, Elmcloud barely got a claw on his larger opponent. Rather than actually stand and fight, Elmcloud was moving about, only striking out to keep away from the cat trying to lock him in place. Eventually, another warrior engaged Elmcloud's attacker, and later still, the battle ended. What others may have seen as cowardice, Elmcloud saw as cleverness. From that battle, Elmcloud got away with little more than a nasty scratch on his right ear and a bleeding muzzle that wasn't serious enough to keep him from being put on a patrol later that day. | :In his first real battle, Elmcloud barely got a claw on his larger opponent.

− | :At around twenty-five moons, Elmcloud | + | :At around twenty-five moons, Elmcloud received the first real shock of his life. His elderly parents, whom he loved dearly, joined the ranks of StarClan within days of each other, and the deaths of Ceadershadow and Frogstep affected Elmcloud significantly. As he sat vigil for them, and for the days after, Elmcloud's thoughts darkened. Death had never seemed so real to him before, despite living in a forest at war. Elmcloud thought of it constantly during those precious first days without the presence of his parents in the camp. He would sit, brooding, at some edge of the camp, wondering if other cats had felt the exact pain he was feeling. They must, he supposed, but he never sought to ask it of anyone. For a little while, his philosophy of life was that he (and everyone else) could die at any moment, and the tragedy was that he (and they) didn't. At one point, Elmcloud even envied the medicine cats and leaders for being able to communicate with the Clans' departed. |
:That same moon, shortly after his parents' passing, Elmcloud was given an apprentice to mentor. Perhaps it was a way to make more use of him, or perhaps just an attempt to help him get over the loss he felt so deeply. Elmcloud didn't know why he was being given an apprentice to train, though he never went bothering the leader about it. It was an honor, after all, and Elmcloud accepted it without complaint, though his mind still felt raw. | :That same moon, shortly after his parents' passing, Elmcloud was given an apprentice to mentor.

:Seasons later, on the ninth day of the Moon of First Fishing, Elmcloud was the first to discover the death of ShadowClan's deputy Ravenwing. Coming across her lifeless body brought back a similar feeling of numbness that Elmcloud had felt at his parents' death, though Elmcloud hadn't felt himself particularly close to Ravenwing. Later that night, for some reason beyond him, Elmcloud was named deputy of ShadowClan by Whitestar. Although Elmcloud accepted the duty, he was very unsure that he could do it well. | :Seasons later, on the ninth day of the Moon of First Fishing, Elmcloud was the first to discover the death of ShadowClan's deputy Ravenwing.

Elmcloud A Player Character belonging to Nagini |
Appearance
Short Description :
Short Description will be provided after approval
Long Description :
:Elmcloud is a supple black and white tom with large, round yellow-green eyes. He has a solid, muscular body, and short, dense fur. Most of Elmcloud's body is white, including his legs, belly, and thick-padded paws, but a large patch of black fur spreads over him like a shadow. It covers his head like a mask, leaving only his muzzle with white fur, stretching down and across Elmcloud's back. It goes all the way to the blunt tip of his tail. Elmcloud's ears are well-set and bear some scars, most notably a nasty one on his right ear.

Personality
:Although polite, Elmcloud is a quiet, reserved cat, and he is quite patient, gentle, and calm by nature. He can also be a bit jumpy, particularly when he's just waking up or if he's greatly surprised. He would be perfectly content with staying in camp and looking after elders all day. However, in his mind, Elmcloud is also rather dark. Most often, Elmcloud can be found alone, brooding and looking gloomy. He also lacks confidence in himself and his abilities, even though he is a fully-trained warrior with moons of experience when it comes to his duties.

History
Key Dates
Full History :
:The first, last, and only kit of the older ShadowClan queen Ceadershadow and her mate Frogstep was born in newleaf and he was named Elmkit. Like any other kit, Elmkit's early moons were all comfort, with much thanks to his mother doting on him. But even though kithood was supposed to be filled with play and fun, Elmkit had always been shy, as Ceadershadow observed, and preferred to stay by himself than play with others. Elmkit became somewhat more social as he grew up, if for no other reason than it being expected of him.
