Appearance Ever since he was a kit, Nightstorm has always had something of a large frame. Big old lumbering paws, big ears, big tail... he was fairly disproportionate as a younger cat, but now that he's older, he's filled himself out. While not necessarily muscular (though as a Clan cat, he has muscle to start with), he's just a big-boned cat. That could also imply pudgy, but that is not the case with Nightstorm either. Mostly a black cat, Nightstorm has white stretching from his underbelly, to his chest, up to some of his face, with a snip of black on his nose. He has intelligent green eyes that have served him well over the years. Personality |
Above all other features, Nightstorm prides himself on his intelligence. He has a very calculated way of looking at things, from a fighting move to how to best go about hunting or working with other warriors. There's a way he watches things that hints at the intelligence behind the fur, and he has a mind that is just simply working nonstop. It can make him seem bland and boring sometimes, but he always has good in mind.
quiet
As you can imagine, this kind of trait comes with being the intelligent tom. He has a quiet presence around camp, as he tends not to speak up much, and he only really does so when he feels his opinion needs to be heard. He's not a cat of many words, more or less, though anyone who knows him well enough could probably tell you that he speaks just as well with his body language more often than not.
loyal
While Nightstorm tends to take to the background of things, and prefers to stick to the shadows, he does have a loyal heart. While he may not express it outright, he cares deeply for his Clan and his fellow Clanmates, and will remain loyal to them until the end of his days.
quick
And I don't mean in the physical sense, though he has to be quick in order to make a good fighter. But Nightstorm is always quick to figure out something, whether it be a puzzle, a plot, or anything, really. Many times he's the first to get the right answer, and this trait mostly stems from the fact that he's quiet and intelligence. He devotes his time to thinking, and while at times being quick can mean he actually jumps to conclusions, but more often than now Nightstorm can already figure out what someone will say or suggest before they even say or suggest it. He's no mind-reader, but his mind can move that fast sometimes.
patient
This is a tom who can sit and wait for hours for something to happen. He's never in a hurry to have thins rushed, and tends to take his time with everything. He doesn't mind having to wait on anything or anyone, and he's fairly good-natured in that sense.[/ul]
History
Nightstorm started out life like any other normal warrior, born as a kit to two warriors of ShadowClan. He was born alongside his brother, Heronkit, though tragedy seemed to strike almost as soon as the two were born. Their mother died shortly after giving birth to them. The pair had been born in the middle of leafbare, when prey was short and everyone was seemingly eternally hungry. Exhausted and famished, their mother hadn't the strength to hold out after birthing two kits. She passed quietly, leaving the two kits to be nursed and pseudo-raised by another queen in the nursery. Their father, a stoic senior warrior, was around as much as he could be, to help raise his two sons.
Nightkit was a large kit right from the very start. He was very active as well, romping around with the other kits in the nursery, and often following his father around camp.
nightpaw
In the midst of greenleaf, Nightkit became old enough to be an apprentice. So he was then dubbed Nightpaw, and was given a dedicated warrior as his mentor. He trained hard, showing that he had more than muscle under his black and white fur. However, his mentor was constantly pressing on him that intelligence could be a warrior's most powerful weapon. Knowledge of your enemy, knowledge of yourself, and knowledge of your surroundings, were what made a cat a true warrior. Young Nightpaw took these words to heart, and worked hard to bring them to fruition.
But when Nightpaw turned nine moons old, his father passed in a bout of greencough. The old tom had been reaching his peak as a warrior, and was soon going to be taking to the elders' den, but never got the chance. After his father passed, Nightpaw grew quieter, humbler, and much mellower. His mentor took notice of this and tried to console the young cat, but consolation was not what the apprentice needed. From that day on, he developed into the quiet, loyal soul that he is today. Nightpaw threw himself into his training, quickly becoming one of the fastest thinkers in the Clan. He'd always had an affinity for intelligence - no cat simply develops such a trait out of thin air, but he used his training to hone it.
He finally proved himself ready to be a warrior when he reached the age of thirteen moons. During a small thunderstorm, he was out on patrol with a group of warriors, including his mentor, when they got into a border scuffle with another Clan. Taking note of the bravery that he showed in the battle, his warrior ceremony was held later that evening after the storm had passed, and he was given the name Nightstorm in honor of the storm during which he had proved himself.
nightstorm
Since then, Nightstorm has been a loyal ShadowClan warrior. When the flood struck a little more than six moons ago, he was deeply troubled. While he was a ShadowClan cat through and through, he couldn't imagine what ThunderClan and RiverClan could have done to deserve such a fate. Deeply sympathetic for their plight, he was one of the warriors who didn't mind allowing ThunderClan onto their territory, though he certainly didn't like the idea of having to share prey with them.
But when their leader was killed, Nightstorm became one of ThunderClan's most vigorous haters. He doesn't believe that there's anyway that someone from anyone but ThunderClan committed the murder, and the fact that it happened right under their noses is absolutely infuriating. He's smart enough to know that it's not his fault, but he can't help but feel a little guilty that he'd been a supporter of offering ThunderClan shelter in their territory. But now, of course, that's all changed. While not specifically out for revenge... Nightstorm will not hesitate to get into a fight with any ThunderClan cat.[/ul]
