Clan: ShadowClan
Desired Rank: Warrior
Appearance:

~Eyes~

Mudtail has concerned, yet protective green eyes. They tell there own story.They shine when he is angered, yet he is adept at hiding it. Deep within the recesses of his eyes you can see concealed pain, but he never shows it to anyone. He portrays himself the way he wants to be seen, not the saddened elder brother, but the heroic tom waiting for another chance.

~Pelt~
Mudtail has a pure white coat with the exception of his tail. His tail is a dark chocolate looking brown. He also has a brown blotch over his left ear. His muzzle is also brown. His fur is medium in length. Not quite long enough to be considered long haired, yet its still looks bigger then short haired cats.

Personality:

~Humble~
No matter how big the accomplishment, he would never be the thick headed bragger. Mudtail loved glory like every other warrior, but he hated those that flaunted there abilities whether good or bad. To him you were asking for pay back by doing these things. His mother had raised him to value things in life, and he wasn`t about to willingly crush others, because he bested them.

~Protective~
Throughout his life he was bullied, but not in the way you might think. He made it his priority to protect his little sister no matter what. If any other cat hurt her he would give them heck. Not that he liked having to yell at his clan mates, but family to him was important.

~Gentle~
Mudtail was definatly one of the most submissive toms. He never caused trouble unless someone had hurt his family.

History:

Born on a Stormy Summer night Mudatil was part of a litter of 3. His family consisted of his mother Nightwing, his father Sunsoul, and his siblings Owlkit, and Finchkit. His brother was a still born, but he and his sister Owlkit grew close and thrived. There kithood was spent with some other kits named Bonekit, and Juniperkit. They were born the night before them. They always ventured around the clan in groups. Bonekit prefered chasing around after Mudkit, and Owlkit was hearded around by Juniperkit. Mudkit was never too far away from his sister, and knew from his fathers lessons that he should protect her if he could, for as long as he could. Bonekit was always on the smaller side, so Mudtail grew accustomed to watching out for him as well. Mudkit seemed to be wiser then some kits, or he cared more for his families needs then his own. Bonekit was infatuated with Mudkits sister from an early age. Once they were all apprenticed Bonepaw tried to spend as much time as he could near her. His mentor soon took him into deeper studies of there warrior ways, and Bonepaw couldn`t see any of them as often.

Mudpaw was given Doveflight as a mentor. She was older and nearing eldar status. Mudpaw didn`t mind, and longed to hear her tails of the past, and of the battles and lessons she had endured throughout her life. Often they would sit and discuss old tricks that she had learned, and he learned many things from her. In battle training her age was just a number, because she was very quick and strong,and if she felt any soreness she never showed it.

It was around this time, when Juniperpaw took a liking to Mudpaw. He didn`t really pay it much attention, and it made him uneasy to have her acting so strange around him. Bonepaw didn't like him hanging around with his sister, and when Mudpaw tried to explain that he didn`t like her he was attacked by Bonepaw.

This deeply angered Mudpaw because he had always looked after Bonepaw, and he even disregarded the fact that Bonepaw liked his sister Owlpaw. They were a massive dustball rolling and hissing at eachother. Mudpaws father broke it up and scolded his son. Owlpaw was torn by there fighting and Mudpaw could tell. He wanted her to be happy, but he hated Bonepaw. Reluctantly he stayed away from them, and they grew closer. he just couldn`t bare seeing her unhappy. Mudpaw felt no attraction to poor Juniperpaw though, and when he tried to tell her she went off into the forest. Wavepaw another apprentice went after her. The patrols went out looking for them and found Wavepaw dead and Juniperpaw injured. They had been attacked by Thunderclan. A battle was launched and there mother and Juniperpaw were sent into battle. Mudpaw,Owlpaw, Bonepaw and Sunsoul were left to guard the camp.

The Thunderclanners had sent half of there best fighters to the camp. Sunsoul fought bravely beside his son and daughter. Bonepaw was fighting two warriors at once. It was then that his father died. A Thunderclanner had tried to hurt Owlpaw and he jumped in the way, he did manage to injure and send his assailant running before falling at Mudpaw`s feet. He said one last thing before passing on."Look after our family son."

Several moons later they were made warriors, and he recieved his first apprentice Moonpaw. She was trained to be an exceptional warrior, and Mudpaw was pleased with his accomplishment. Bonefang and Owlfeather became mates, and the moons dragged on. He still loathed Bonefang, even after the birth of there kits, his sisters kits. Mudtail had already decided to watch over the kits as if they were his own, afterall they were family. Rainkit was in Mudtails mind abused by his father, and he often consoled the tom. When his brother Rowankit died mysteriously he wanted to claw his fathers face off for glaring and treating it like it was Rainkits fault. He knew right at that moment that he was going to be a problem. He happily trained Daypaw his niece, and he tried to ready her for anything,but death took her as well, and seeing there fathers rage swell even more, took the chance to request to train Rainpaw. He taught him of the glory his old mentor Doveflight once told him , and the tales of the slightly older clan. He tried to instill confidence in his life again, and he succeeded in Rainpaw realizing that none of his families deaths was his doing.

The night Rainpaw was made Rainshadow he watched and smiled from the crowd. He could see the evil look in his fathers eyes, and scowled. Nothing good would come from such a relationship between father,son, and old acquaintance. One day Mudtail saw his father charge for his sons throat and he dashed from the bushes and knocked him far away from Rainshadow hissing and growling with immense hatred. It was a little satisfying for him being that he was able to hit him for once. He died shortly after and Mudtail was gratefull for the peace for his nephew.

Mudtail had to sit vigil for his old mentor when she died a peaceful death, and earned her place amongst there ancestors. He watched as Rainshadow grieved the loss of his own mate, and lost kits, and still looks after him.
