Blacklightning
Name: Blackie, Lightning
Age: Twenty moons
Birthday: May 7
Ranking: Warrior
General Information
Physical Description: Her fur is sleek, short, and as black as the night sky. She has no markings on her fur, but she does have a few battle scars. The most prominent of these is the one over her left eye.
She looks, for what it's worth, like a warrior. She has the muscular build of a climber and runner, seemingly very athletic from looks alone. At first glance her eyes seem a pure bright green, but upon closer inspection flecks of blue and yellow can be found near her pupils. She is streamlined and thin, giving the clear impression she is light-weight.
When her teeth are bared they appear overly sharp and strangely delicate. Her claws though, appear much more sturdy and worn than her teeth. She often looks tired, as if she has just been out on the longest watch through the night ever seen.
Personality Description: At first she is generally curt and sharp tongued, playing with words and snapping often. Seeing as she doesn't ever start any conversations it is hard for her to get past this and so has few friends.
According to her, if the other clans simply left the forest and Shadeclan forced all other danger away things would go much more smoothly. Seeing as none of this has happened, she tends to simply glare off past the boundary and do what it is she wants to do. Even with all this, she tries to be as loyal as possible in her own way.
When she does decide to be friendly things are hard for her. She doesn't really know how to hold a pleasant idle chat or be romantic in any way whatsoever, and if there is something she gets angry about it's not being able to do something. Due to this, after an attempted conversation she will storm off somewhere in a fit of anger.

History:
Blackkit
As a kit she had the normal life of a rule-breaking mischief-making kitten just waiting for the time when she would be an apprentice. This was excluding the time she was nearly killed and just barely missed her eye getting taken out. She had left the nursery without permission in the middle of the night to explore and see what lay outside of camp, she hadn't meant to go as far as she did in the least. It had begun to rain and so she got lost, unable to track her own scent she wound up way to far away from camp. She had been soaked, lost, and most of all scared when she stumbled across a group of dogs.
They quickly noticed her and she ran, mewling and crying as loud as she could. When she couldn't find her way back and was far to tired to run the rest of the way, she scrabbled her way up the tree. The dogs had been hot on her tail and sat there through the next day and part of the night. The one Blackkit could see had fallen asleep and the hungry frightened kit had raced down the tree as fast as possible. Despite this, the poor kit had been seen by one of the dogs who bit and scratched at her as she ran.
She eventually lost the dog and found a place to sleep. When she woke up though, there had been a crowd of worried, and in some cases cross, clanmates. She had a few misadventures after that, but none so mentally horrifying or physically damaging as that one.
Blackpaw
As an apprentice she overworked and damaged herself to many times to count. She was constantly getting into trouble for staying up, hurting herself, and wandering off.
Like any ambitious apprentice she strove to do it all and as fast as possible. Quite a few times she got into large arguments with other apprentices and isolated herself repeatedly, never giving others a chance to earn her friendship and absolute trust. She was always bitter and angry, like a volcano ready to burst.
Still, she became a great hunter and excellent fighter, always using tricks and traps to win spars. A few times she was accused of cheating by the other apprentices and scolded by her mentor for not fighting fairly. This had hurt more than anyone would have thought, only making her colder and quieter. Even with this she strove to protect them all and try and eradicate any threats she could.
Blacklightning
She now over exerts herself on hunting patrols and thoroughly inspects the land when there is no border patrol out. She can often be found in the Echo clearing, simply enjoying the silence and thinking things over.
She still trains for battle, just not where she did as an apprentice. She will often go out into the forest and simply find a small clearing where no-one is likely to pass by. Occasionally after a long day she wishes she didn't push herself as hard as she always does. Still, without voicing it she cares deeply for the clan and is always ready to protect it.
