Name: Shrikefeather
Age: 26 moons
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Warrior
Clan: ThunderClan
Description:
Shrikefeather is a faded grey tabby with white belly and throat, a darkly ringed tail, and wide-set gold-yellow eyes. Her ears are small and tucked forward as if they were folded over.
Personality:
Shrikefeather is masculine both in appearance and in attitude. She is as tough as a badger and sometimes as ornery as one. The she-cat has an intense temper, and this, paired with her deep loyalty for ThunderClan, makes her liable to get into trouble. She starts more border skirmishes than any cat would like, and her rashness is not one of her prized qualities. But Shrikefeather is a skilled fighter and a patient hunter, and her skills as a warrior keep her from getting into too much trouble for her hotheadedness. She tends to hold many cats in scorn if they are not what she considers a "model warrior," and her judgmental attitude makes her very unlikable to many cats. But her ferocity and ability and loyalty make her a noble warrior in the eyes of other cats, and she is relatively popular among the other warriors of ThunderClan.
History:
Shrikefeather and her brothers Howlingwolf and Northwind were born to Indigoheart and Pebblefoot of ThunderClan. The three siblings' personalities were evident almost as soon as they were up and about in the camp. Shrikekit was always waging battles on any cat that walked past. Howlingkit would just shake his head and ignore his silly sister, preferring batting a ball of moss around to dealing with her. Northkit, on the other paw, would constantly try to reign his sister in, to no avail. The three kits were apprenticed, not a moment too soon in Indigoheart's estimation, either! Shrikepaw was as mischievous as ever. She snuck off so often she was almost always being punished for something. Northpaw continued to make apologies for his sister and try to get her to see sense, but Howlingpaw didn't bother himself with his siblings. He preferred to work on his hunting skills, which he valued above the fighting skills Shrikepaw thought so important. The three siblings fought in a few battles during their apprenticeship, and Shrikepaw stood out as one of the fiercest of fighters in ThunderClan. She was made a warrior earlier than her siblings because of her valor in a battle with ShadowClan. Howlingpaw and Northpaw didn't really care, but Shrikefeather worried that her brothers might be jealous and wouldn't talk to her. She put more effort into her relationship with her siblings, and slowly even Howlingpaw began to favor his sister's company. By the time Howlingwolf and Northwind were given their warrior names, the three siblings were as close as any other littermates might be.
