HMMMM shadetail, how was their apprenticeship and warriorship like
• Shadey man!! As an apprentice, Shadepaw was a BIG trouble maker, his sister was the more "favoured" one so he generally acted out and caused trouble, a very rambunctious kid. He was however on good terms with his sister, Darkpaw, and she always tried to comfort him.
• He was a big loner in the clan, and a bit after he and his sister got their names, Shadetail and Darkstrike, he left ThunderClan to wander around and not live under anyone's rules. He ran into a city gang and hung out with them for awhile, and became great friends with the boss! He told them about clan life and all that jazz cause they were intrigued, and those stories would happen to play a role for future generations ;)
• He fought a fox, lived on a boat, and even stayed at a nice barn! But, after seasons of being alone or traveling with strangers who became friends, he began to greatly miss his sister, as she was the only one who really cared for him back then and he wanted to make up with her, so he went back.
• BUT,, apparently Darkstrike and her mate had passed away moons ago in a battle between ThunderClan and WindClan. Her daughter, Magpiespots, was feeling very lonely without her family and once Shadetail introduced himself to her as her uncle, she practically BEGGED the new leader Pearstar to let Shadetail rejoin so they could be a family again.
• Pearstar agreed, hoping something interesting would come of it and Shadetail adored his sweet niece and they grew very close! He told her stories about her mom and how she was a big scaredy cat when he knew her.
• They would be attached at the hip a lot of the time and Shade told her all about his travels and ended up giving her a very broad perspective and open mind, which leads to some issues in the future but this long already so yeah!! I hope you enjoy my rambles lol
Also I'm going to find an old ref I drew of him and reblog it to this post
