Blackclaw

[Zelda]

Name: Blackclaw
Previous Names: Blackpaw, Shadow
Gender: Tom
Age: 28 moons
Rank: Warrior
Appearance: Blackclaw is a large cat, much bigger then his mate, and has sharp, glinting, massive claws. He is a dusty brown color, with black paws and tail and ears, like Molepaw, but has amber eyes. He is very strong, his defense is good, but he isn't very fast, or very good at hunting. He's a lot better at fighting battles. Lately, though, he's lost a part of his tail.
Personality: Blackclaw is actually very kind, but a little intimidating. He will hear out everyone's opinions, even if he doesn't agree. The tom is fair and just, if you have a problem, he is the cat to go to, if you want to sort it out.
History: Blackclaw started as a loner. His mother and father, Wind and Sky, did not want their kits to be lost in Clan humbo-jumbo, so for a long time, Blackclaw was Shadow, and he had two sisters, Cloud and Cliff. By the time they would be apprentice age, their parents were taken by the twolegs. Cloud was so stressed, she went to look for them, but Cliff and Shadow did not want to meet the same fate. He suggested to go to seek refuge with the Clans. His sister thought about it, then agreed, but only as long as they were in separate Clans, so if one was killed, the other wouldn't know. For a while, at least.
'Alright' Shadow had agreed, and they set off to the Clans.
Cliff chose ThunderClan, and Shadow chose ShadowClan.

The two never met in battle, and could never find each other at Clan meetings. Cliffpelt was always worrying about her brother, but Blackpaw forgot about her. He at first was not accepted into ShadowClan, but when he got in a fight with another cat, he beat the cat by a whisker. At first they wanted his name to be Shadowpaw, but he didn't want to be reminded of his old self. His future mate, Lightpaw, suggested Blackpaw. And Blackpaw it was. He got along well with his clanmates, but was always wary of the deputy and leader.

When he was finally a warrior, he was excited to get the name Blackclaw. He was no longer afraid of the deputy or leader, and he wasn't called 'loner' or 'run-away kittypet' anymore, by most cats, anyway. Eventually, he fell in love with Lightstep, and they had two kits, Molekit and Gingerkit. Molekit took after her father when it comes to looks, and Gingerkit looked like her mother. His kits were different, and he respected that, and did not criticize them as much as his mate did.

The only tragic event in his kits' lives was when Blackclaw lost part of his tail in a battle. Of course, Molepaw didn't care as much as her mother, all she really cared about was her pit traps, which are strangely effective in hunting and in battles. Gingerpaw was a little concerned at first, then totally ignored it. Lightstep, however, is constantly worried about her mate's tail.
'Dear, how is that tail?'
'Do you need anything, Blackclaw?'
'Blackclaw, let me get you something to eat.'
'I'll get you some water, deary!'
Frankly, Blackclaw was tired of it, but didn't really show it. I mean, he was being treated like an elder--he didn't have to get anything for himself!
Other: Nothing that I know of. ^^;
