name Longshadow
age 40 Moons
gender Male
clan Tempestclan
rank Warrior
reason for name Lanky build, as well as a black pelt. But if you know him a little better, he rather keep to the shadows.
appearance descriptionA pure midnight black, not a spec of any other color on him. His fur is sleek and short, soft like black velvet to the touch. He is virtually invisible at night. His build is long and lanky, hence his name. His legs are long, as is his tail. Even his middle stomach area is lengthier than most. A blessing and a curse. It lets him catch swift prey such as rabbits and birds at ease, but in battle he may not have the strength to pin down a strong enemy.
Longshadow's eyes are a handsome clover green, the edges flecked with a brilliant gold. His whiskers are short and the tip of his left ear is missing.
quirks- mysterious
- completely loyal to and in love with Dreamstar
- doesn't like apprentices, let alone mentoring
- spiteful
- doesn't sleep well, often roams the fen at night
personalityIn the years he's seen go by, Longshadow has learned to tolerate most of his clan mates, though still can only say he likes a select few. He's become more of a "team player", though he prefers a more or less solitary lifestyle. Part of the reason he finds interacting with others so difficult is because the black tom is easily irritated. Ignorance, drama, and certain traits just annoy him beyond belief. Some time ago he hungered for power, but his ambition lacked to the point where the dream became obsolete. Now he rather not deal with the responsibilities that leadership demands.
Being the curious type, he likes to investigate and learn everything about the things that intrigue him. He finds that knowledge is power. He's always been mysterious, and even now tends to seem a little shady. Secretive and allusive - one can't but feel he's hiding something.
Speaking of, lies can slip out of his mouth like rain from the sky, so natural the way their words fall into looking like the truth. It's not a habit, but he has no problem deceiving you. The warrior is highly intelligent, though sometimes his sly thoughts can be spiteful. Causing trouble for someone he doesn't like gives him great pleasure.
Commitment, loyalty, and love only exist for one cat, and that's his mate. Around her his personality melts into a softer shade of grey, that's probably the best time to approach him.
family
Dreamstar: His mate, the love of his life. What started as a creepy obsession surprisingly blossomed into genuine feelings. And though he and the old Tempestclan leader Voidstar became enemies over the beautiful she-cat, his death brought relief and a new beginning for the lovers, which Longshadow looks forward to with uncharacteristic excitement.
experienceHe was born to normal parents, and as an apprentice and young warrior always loathed his brother Twistedleg. He was jealous of the white tom's outgoingness and easy likability. He claims it was the reason he grew to be so secluded and unfriendly. When his brother died only a few moons ago, Longshadow was shocked to find he actually felt sorrow in his heart. Not only because he now had no living family, but because he had actually - somewhere in his heart - cared for the large tom. Growing up in the shadows, he didn't really interact with his clan mates. It wasn't until Dreamstar had been appointed deputy that he took an interest in her. She stalked his dreams and in turn, well, he stalked her. But soon it was more than an interest - it was love. And when the feelings grew to be mutual the dark warrior's life changed forever.
