Shaderunner

Played by Shadow

Name: Shaderunner

Age: Around 54 moons

Gender: female

Clan/residence: CC

Rank: warrior

Appearance: massive, thick-furred, dark brown marble she-cat with copper eyes.

Personality: she can be very serious and no-nonsense, and appears cold to those who don't know her well. She is an excellent warrior, and worked hard to gain her clanmates' respect. She doesn't believe that she is better than anyone, but she won't hesitate to call others out for something stupid. To those who truly know her, such as her kittens, mate, apprentices, and friends, she shows a much softer side. She still wears a generally neutral expression, but her body language softens around them. She is very intelligent and wise, and very alert and protective. She can see when something is wrong with the she loves, and is also usually one of the first recognize danger. She is also very motherly, though anyone has to see it to believe it, and she does her best to guide her kittens in the right direction. She tells them everything, and tries to prepare them for the world while also not forcing them to grow up too fast. She can do this by being harsh and stern with them, but she also will guide them slowly, with seemingly endless patience at times. She will talk about anything with them when she thinks the time is right, from death to sexuality. Anything she thinks they need to know.

However, she also struggles immensely with her own mental health. A lot of it, she tries to hide while keeping her head high, but she is easily prone to depression and other issues. (I don't know what exactly, label-wise, but I have a general idea of how she acts and how her mind works.) She doesn't forgive easily after someone hurts her, even if they might have been a best friend before, and she doesn't tend to soften the truth, even for those she loves most in the world.

For her kittens, she would do anything. If something happened to one of them, she would be devastated.

Also, no one ever sees her cry, because she does keep a powerful façade.

History (optional): I have stuff in mind for the future, but not so much for the past. I'm sure it'll come with time.

Other: I have never played this character before. I'm proud of the description I gave of her personality (at least, how it sounded when writing it in my head: I'm sure I've probably jumped from one thought to the next in a way that is hard to read, but I'm not going back to check right now.
