Mottledshadow

[Winter Sunflower]

*Name: Mottledshadow

*Age: 29 Moons

*Gender: She-Cat

*Appearance: Mottledshadow`s small lithe body is marked by scars of her apprenticehood. They are hidden behind her short soft fur. A calico pelt with it`s colors smeared together made the she-cat appear like a tortoiseshell she-cat. Her chest, underbelly, and her paws are softer and fluffier. They are also white. Mottledshadow`s eyes are olive green. Her tail has longer fur and seems to be more fluffier than the rest of her fur. Mottledshadow`s face is half a dililluted ginger and the other half, soot grey.

*Personality: Her sister, Dovestar (Sunny), is the happy one. Lightbird (Moon) is the studious one, and Longscar (Wolf) is the patient one. Which is Mottledshadow? She is the charming one, of course. A charming she-cat who manipulates other cats for her benefit. There is still hope that she charms cats for good, right? You're still clinging onto the idea, right? This is where I put an end to that silly little notion. Any motives of Mottledshadow come from her laziness. When Mottledshadow willingly does something for another cat, the world will collapse. Since when has Mottledshadow done anything for another individual, much less herself, willingly? Oh, Mottledshadow has the true marks of a leader: She's confident and is quite firm about her choices. She`s calm in the most desperate situations. She's a quick learner, rapidly gaining intelligence. She's smart and a quick thinker, good at avoiding too much havoc. Plus, Mottledshadow is sly and clever. Oh but her negative traits! Mottledshadow is just too lazy to do anything herself. Besides that, she has no care for any other cat but her self. Hmm, what else. Oh, yes! Mottledshadow is a true drama queen. Anyways, no cat would make much of a good leader if he/she didn`t commit to things. Nope, that isn`t Mottledshadow. While she never allows anyone to question her decisions, Mottledshadow quite enjoys questioning others. Even her sister, the leader.

*~ Despite her laziness, Mottledshadow has proven herself a dangerous opponent in battle. Mottledshadow does not have strong hind legs which prove a disadvantage in both hunting and fighting, however.

*History: Mottledshadow`s littermates had always disgusted her from the beginning. Even as a little kit, Mottledshadow was quite lazy and manipulative. She never ceased to exploit her clanmates, often sending them on useless errands just for the fun of it. She particularly despised her hard working sister, Lightkit. A perfect example of how kits ought to of behaved, Pretty Mottledkit often ignored her siblings and wouldn`t care if they fell off a cliff. Actually, Mottledkit would have quite liked that. She was quite heartless in the early stages of her life.

Hoping that Mottledkit would learn to be more independent and less lazy, Aspenstar gave the diluted calico a hard pressing mentor. After that, she hated Aspenstar, her bitter for the former DappleClan leader beginning. Mottledpaw envied Dovepaw when Aspenstar announced Willowtail as Dovepaw`s mentor. Actually, she envied all of her siblings, realizing she, Mottledpaw, had been given the strictest. Mottledpaw refused to train and quite often disappeared before training started. Despite this, however, her mentor proved to be more clever and finally, despite Mottledpaw`s protests, she was trained and drilled into a formidable fighter.

Surprisingly enough, Mottledshadow had actually attempted to take all of Aspenstar`s remaining lives in a very sly manner. However, she only succeeded in taking only two of the leader`s lives. For now, of course, no cat knows her malicious deed. Perhaps it will be discovered in the future, but Mottledshadow will never admit her treachery.
