Leopardsnow || Background [ASK]
Description:Â A lean, thin furred she-cat with black-and-white spotted coat, both her ears are white with her left being torn. Only has two face markings and dull yellow eyes
Kit-hood: Leopardkit was born into a litter of 3, having two brothers; Eaglekit and Wormkit, his mother Nightcrow was quite for the most part. Nightcrow ‘lost’ her voice permanently some seasons when her first litter where still kittens. Jaggedjaw was a great father and lover, always patent with his kittens and understanding of his mate’s silence.
Nothing to much happened, her early kit-hood was perfectly normal for a shadowclan kitten going through the last bits of two-leg sickness. About 4 moons old was when Jaggedjaw was killed and brought back to camp. Nightcrow, Leopardkit, Wormkit, Eaglekit and her two older sisters; Dewpatch and Skydawn all mourned for their loved one [Mate/Father] it was here when Leopardkit started hanging out with Skydawn and Dewpatch.
Apprentice-Hood: When Leopardkit, Wormkit and Eaglekit were all given their apprentice names; Leoardpaw’s mentor was Jaggedscar. Unfortunately Nightcrow would stop eating and drinking, eventually passing away from self-starvation/dehydration. Soon her brothers would be next, both dying in a battle between Shadowclan and Riverclan on the Thunderpath.
Her mentor Jaggedscar was a tough teacher and often trained without his claws but insisted she used hers; she fought fiercely and wildly against her mentor. Over time Leopardpaw became a better more efficient fighter and the clans best hunter and swimmer. That;s when Jaggedscar began introducing his on claws into their traing sessions.
As this was going on Leoparsnow would make a long lasting friendship with Emberstrike and became more and more distant towards her older sisters; Dewpatch and Skydawn. Soon cutting off all contact she had with them after the three sisters broke into a viscous fight one night.
Leopardpaw was the only other cat that knew of Stonestrike and Darkstorm’s deaths, well who really caused their deaths~ Emberstrike and Jaggedscar trusted her enough to tell her about their plans to get rid of the two toms uner the cover of darkness.
Warrior: A young warrior, Leopardsnow was quickly forced into a promise with Jaggedscar to never train her apprentice like he did with her, she was reluctant to agree, believing that strength can only be given from pain and blood shed. She kept her promise however. Little did she know a strikingl handsome tom had his eyes set on her; Shadestalker quickly fell in love for Leopardsnow and as time went b the two began talking more and hanging out more, until one day Leopardsnow announced she was pregnant with Shadestalker’s kits.
Kestralstar was overjoyed at this news and congratulated her, but Kestralstar wouldn’t live long enough to see Leopardsnow’s kits be born for she died that same night from infected injuires. After Berrykit and Goosekit ere born Shadestalker became more distant before completely cutting his offspring and his now ex-mate off entirely. Skydawn did her best to help Leopardsnow during this time, but even though with her first litter of kits Jaggedstar named her his deputy.
Deputy: When Leopardsnow was first made deputy, she was given an apprentice named Boulderpaw, but he wouldn’t received proper training for a moon because Berrykit and Goosekit still needed to be feed b their mother. Leopardsnow then asked Skydawn first if she could watch her kittens well she trained Boulderpaw and this worked for some time until the Berrykit and Goosekit were 3 and half moons old, but one night Skydawn just seemingly disappeared without a trace or word. After that, Tumbleleg and Darkdapple were then ordered to become Berrykit, Goosekit, Brookkit, Tigerkit and Pinekit’s care takers until the all became apprentice's.
