Name:
Shadowrain
Gender:
Male/Tom
Age:
Around 56 months(moons)
Clan:
HiddenClan
Position:
Warrior
Quick Description:
Black tom with green eyes.
Description:
Shadowrain is a masculine-built tom with sleek, short fur sealing his bold-figure. Painting his coat is a dark pigment of stained soot, only to have light, snowy flecks dancing down his pelt, similar to the splashes of rain. A soft cloud of white, is found in the area of his heart, shaped in the form of a raindrop. His eyes are pure, overflowing with the mellow tone of emerald green. On his left cheek now sports a scar. He'd gotten it for deciding to be Rainfeather's mate and not Cherrybliss's. His ears are fairly small in width, but they stand tall on top of his dark, muscled skull, that has a rather round shape to it, giving him a very youthful appearance, despite his growing age. With every step, his muscles ripple vigorously underneath his speckled pelt, letting you know it's best not to mess with this tom. Long, black claws tensely retract back and forth on his paws, their appearance making them out to be, indeed razor-sharp, which is unforgivably noted while in battle with them, he will surely leave you a few scars to remember. Long, thick legs stretch from his powered shoulders, large oval paws at the ends, allowing him to have good traction, even on damp, slippery earth.
Personality:
General Personality:
Shadowrain is a generally peaceful tom. He tends to overreact, although it's only because he cares about his friends and loved ones. He loves to help others, although when he's angry, it's best to give him his space. Shadowrain is the type of cat who will take on Apprentices tons at a time, he wants to be helpful.
Reactions Towards:
Other Clans:
Shadowrain is peaceful towards the other Clans, unless he has a good reason to be otherwise. If you're caught hunting on distinct HiddenClan land, well, let's just say you won't forget Shadowrain in a hurry. However, if it's only a few kitten-steps into the territory, you might get off with nothing more than a warning.
Predators:
Shadowrain is the type of cat who will defend his friends and loved ones with his own life. He tends to be the type to overreact a bit where his loved ones are concerned. (Insert Rain snickering. "a BIT?!")
Fellow Clanmates:
Shadowrain likes to think of himself as the type of cat whom others can rely on and trust.

History:
Born to Crookedjaw(Now Crookedheart) and Purplesparks, Mousekit was an energetic tom. Mousekit, it was decided, however, was a name that didn't suit him. He was renamed to Shadowkit.
He grew fast, and was soon given his Apprentice Name - Shadowpaw. His mentor was Santastream. Kindleheart told him that Santastream left HiddenClan and rejoined NightClan. Soon though, Santastream rejoined HiddenClan and was named Santaclaws. Although Shadowpaw and Santaclaws have yet to train together, Shadowpaw is learning fast with the help of his Clanmates. As a kit, Shadowpaw befriended Dragonkit(Now Dragonpaw) and soon fell in love with this she-cat. Shadowpaw and Dragonpaw are inseparable now, and their paths intertwine together as they pad the pathway to becoming a Warrior. Though Santaclaws has neglected Shadowpaw's training, Shadowpaw has not. He has asked multiple times for help in training, and Turtlecloud is one of the Warriors that help him. Jaywing and Cherrybliss train with Shadowpaw occassionally. It is very fun for Shadowpaw. He wondered where Dragonpaw had gone. Now, his path is intertwined with Rainfeather. Shadowpaw changed his name. Now he is known as Sedgepaw. Sedgepaw and Rainfeather remained close, although his name change had affected her. Soon, Sedgepaw renamed himself once more Shadowpaw. As Sedgepaw, the black tom met a friend. At long last, Shadowpaw finally finished his training. Loyalty to his future mate overcame his eagerness to become a Warrior. Once his Ceremony took place, he was named Shadowrain.
Now closer than ever, Shadowrain and Rainfeather are near inseparable. You may have noticed, but in case you did not, Shadowrain was given his suffix after Rainfeather, the one cat that makes him purr through anything.
Rainfeather and Shadowrain are not often seen without the other. Although Shadowrain and Rainfeather are mates, Mistiepaw and Shadowrain are awfully close. Not mate close, for sure, but definitely friend-close. Mistiepaw is like a daughter to Shadowrain. He trains with her often, and enjoys to hang out with her and protect her from other cats. Soon, Rainfeather told Shadowrain something that made him want to jump up and down happily. She was expecting his kits! He was overjoyed.
Now, with Rainfeather rapidly gaining weight with the kits on the way, Shadowrain is getting even more protective. Shadowrain is now often teased by his wonderful mate about him becoming a Queen so he could stay in the Nursery, staying with Rainfeather. Shadowrain and Mistiepaw meet together often, although not nearly as often as Rainfeather and Shadowrain. Shadowrain recently was given an Apprentice to train as his own. He spends a bunch of time training his new Apprentice - Ivorypaw.
Out of the blue, young Dragonkit from his kithood reappeared. He didn't know what to think! Now, Dragonkit is Dragonpaw, and his Apprentice at that! The moment Shadowrain had been waiting for finally came! Rainfeather is now nursing six kits - Meadowkit, Morningkit, Thornkit, Scarletkit,Sedgekit, and Venomkit. They are growing quickly and will be celebrating their first moon on Saturday; April 21st. Meadowkit, Morningkit, and Thornkit have all taken turns taking a tour of the Camp. Shadowrain taught Morningkit and Meadowkit how to walk, and Thornkit was taught by Rainfeather. Even though
Rainfeather is now busy taking care of/keeping an eye on their three kits, Shadowrain and Rainfeather still are inseparable. Shadowrain likes to play a bunch with his kits, and of course Mistiepaw. Mistiepaw has, after having her heart broken multiple times by the same tom, finally found(we hope) her true love with Fallenpaw. Shadowrain approves of this match, thank StarClan. Shadowrain has a new enemy - Dragonpaw. Dragonpaw has insulted Shadowrain and Rainfeather's relationship one too many times. Shadowrain was recently given two more Apprentices - Hungerpaw and Falconpaw. Hungerpaw and Falconpaw are progressing quickly in their Training, and Dragonpaw is...Well, she's getting there. Shadowrain watched in amazement as he daughters and sons grew in both age and size. Now, they are two days from becoming Apprentices. Shadowrain isn't positive which he is more excited about - seeing his kits grow up to be Apprentices, or the fact that Rainfeather will return to the Warriors Den.
Shadowrain has recently had to say goodbye to too many cats for his liking. Applethorn and Dappledrose are now in StarClan, hunting and happy he's sure. Shadowrain watched proudly as his kits became Apprentices at long last. Hungerpaw and Falconpaw grew closer and closer to becoming Warriors at long last, and Shadowrain is proud of their hard work. Shadowrain watched as his kits started getting closer and closer to becoming Warriors. One day as Shadowrain and Rainfeather were out in the forest, his mate stepped in a groundhog hole and sprained her paw. Shadowrain is now eagerly awaiting her recovery. Shadowrain had a large vole in his jaws as he padded into the Medicine Cat Den to visit his mate, his expecting Queen, when he saw something that has scarred him ever since. Shadowrain saw his mate, Rainfeather, curled around his good friend Fallenpaw. He dropped the vole on the ground and ran, tears blurring his vision. Rainfeather limped-ran after him and fell in a puddle of mud. Shadowrain heard Rainfeather growling and went to see what was wrong. Even as upset as the tom was, he couldn't stand to see his...mate....hurt, or upset.
Rainfeather and Shadowrain talked, and it was all a misunderstanding. He now waits on his mate hand and foot and practically carried his mate back to Camp, not being able to handle seeing her limp. Now Shadowrain and Rainfeather are once more inseparable, how it should be, and how it always will be. He has learned from his mistakes and will always give Rainfeather a chance to explain before he overreacts.
It happened! It's time! It came! Rainfeather kitted on June 17th, 2012 to a litter of four. Shadowrain and Rainfeather named their kits: Beautykit, Crimekit, Dewkit, and Dimkit. Shadowrain watched as Rainfeather and his second litter grew fast as well, and were apprenticed quickly. Recently, he was present for a Ceremony, one he knew would happen for a long time, even if she didn't believe it would. He watched his beloved mate become an Elite Warrior.
She, however, was not the first or the last Elite Warrior. Cherrybliss had the honor of becoming the first Elite. Then, Rainfeather. Next was Oceanbreeze, Swiftfeather, and finally Swanfeather. Rainfeather keeps telling Shadowrain that he will be the next, but Shadowrain isn't sure. He wants to be, of course, but isn't entirely sure that it will work out. Before Rainfeather's Elite Ceremony, Shadowrain was forced to feel a mixture of emotions all at once. He saw Falconpaw, his apprentice and his daughter's future mate, become a Warrior by the name of Falconheart. He felt overjoyed about this tidbit of information, but the next? Not so much. Falconheart exposed his true feelings - that he didn't want to be Morningpaw's mate anymore. However, before Falconheart's ceremony was Morningpaw and Mistiepaw's. They were given the names Morningbird and Mistiebreeze. Now, three of his kits are Warriors and the rest are close behind. The black feline couldn't be more proud of all of his kits. They've stuck together no matter what, waited for each other, helped each other train. It's like they're truly one. He couldn't ask for more.
A few moons later, the black tom had to say goodbye to his beloved daughter Morningbird, as well as his almost daughter, Mistiebreeze. This almost killed the tom, to say goodbye to both the she-cats so quickly, at once at that. But in order to keep his mate sane, the tom put a forcefield on, he would show no emotions of sadness just yet. He bottled them up, letting his mate lean on him when she needed to.
A moon or so after this, Shadowrain and Rainfeather decided to go hunting together. His mate and he went their separate ways in hunting, figuring there would be no trouble. To his dismay, Shadowrain would later find how wrong he was.
A few minutes after he parted with his mate, the black tom heard a scream. An all too familar scream, one he hadn't heard since the day of the battle with Marblefur. His jaw set, the feline launched himself towards the scream. When he arrived, he saw his mate laying down on the ground, a tom standing beside her. Once he immediately demanded who the tom was, the tom introduced himself as Germouser. Rainfeather was bloodied. Shadowrain set his jaw and pressed his pelt against his mate's, asking her what had happened. The tom known as Germouser asked if she'd seen a golden tom.
Rainfeather had nodded. "Yes.." she stammered, looking at her paws.
Shadowrain looked at his mate in concern. /A suspicious tom.../ he thought nervously. Germouser asked if this tom had done anything... vulgar to her. Shadowrain's heart began to pound nervously.
"Yes." Rainfeather had admitted.
Shadowrain looked outraged. "I'LL KILL HIM!" he growled.
In the end, Shadowrain did end up killing Francis, the golden tom. But the crime had already been done. Rainfeather told Shadowrain a few days later that she was expecting a litter of kits, possibly one with mixed fathers. Though Shadowrain was outraged that this was happening, he wasn't mad at his mate. It wasn't her fault that this mousebrain had touched her.
Or at least, that had been what he'd thought before talking to Cherrybliss. Cherrybliss' crush on Shadowrain had grown stronger than ever. She tried, and almost succeeded, in planting the seeds of doubt in to Shadowrain's mind. But the love Shadowrain felt for his mate was too strong to be destroyed by something as stupid as this. Cherrybliss had asked to be Shadowrain's mate, when he refused, the she-cat attacked him, leaving a scar on his left cheek that remains there today.
A few days later, another piece of bad news had to be dealt out. Amethystmoon, Ghostfur, and Jaywing decided to leave the Clan to try and find Amethystmoon's birth Clan's territory. Sadly, Shadowrain and his mate said goodbye to the trio of elders.
A moon or so later, the black tom's mate was giving birth. He saw that indeed there was mixed fathers, but Shadowrain didn't care. It was not Rainfeather's fault. It wasn't her choice. That was plain and simple.
The unthinkable has happened. Shadowrain and Rainfeather are no longer mates! Perhaps if he'd tried harder, they would still be mates. But it seemed as if Rainfeather left him no options or hopes of getting another chance.
As he was moping around in the forest, he came across a familiar scent: His old friend, Littlepaw! Though he quickly learned that her name is now Littleleaf. Amazingly, now the two are mates. He trusts Littleleaf very much.
But, life got in the way. Sincloud became the object of Shadowrain's affection. And yet... It didn't seem right. Shadowrain and Sincloud eventually broke it off, and now the tom is attempting to get together with Rainfeather once more.
