lets start here ,,dark-kit/darkpaw/ darkwinddefined lines ,,male. [tom]seasons past ,,three years. [36 moons]those loyalties ,,shadowclan.a common title ,,deputy.----------------------------------------------------------------------------a sideway glance ,,rich tabby tom with bright amber eyes.the tiny details ,,darkwind is far from being a bad-looking cat, that's for sure, and somehow his ragged, usually tangled, uncleaned fur only gives him more of a charm. he is bigger than most cats, mostly can't deny that fact and by a good mouse-length too. with strong, muscular limbs and a steady build, he isn't easy to knock over, which is probably a good thing. with large paws and an average-sized tail, he has good balance and can almost be an intimidating cat to stand about if you don't know him. with a rather pointed face and pricked up, large ears, this tom is clearly build for strength and stability over speed, which is probably a good thing in shadowclan's thick territory.
the thing about darkwind and the reason he has the name 'darkwind' is huge to his strangely dark coat. but it isn't the same as most tabbies though. the base color is a beautiful rich, gingery brown, which seems almost ginger at times, but more brown in others. his whole pelt is streaked with thick black stripes, typical tabby markings, but this only darkens the original coloring of his fur. his face and belly are the lightest parts of him though, with his face being partly a light gingery brown, and the other half being smudges with white. his pelt is rather short in length and usually soft to touch if he's bothered cleaning out the dirt and grim that sticks between the furs.
against his dark, brooding appearance, this tom's bright honey-amber eyes stand out like a spark in the night sky. they aren't fierce or harsh though, and many cats will describe them as just that, honey-loured and resembling. it it only when he is really fired up about something that this changes.beyond the skin ,,darkwind is the perfect example of why cats shouldn't automatically presume a cat from shadowclan is going to be the type to rip them ear from ear. of course, it is highly possible that most would, but for this tom, it is hardly the case, if anything, most cats find it hard not to at least respect him. although most formal and respectful at gatherings than when around his own clan, he isn't a bad cat, and tends to be one who can easily make friends if he feels the need to. but there are certain aspects of his personality that really deserve to be pointe dout.
thoughtful and wise ,,
darkwind never rushes into anything. that is probably the best way to start. he is always thinking about everything he's going to do, from what to say next in a conversation, to the next move in a war, and really is one of the best cats to be a deputy for the clan. he is in this way, constantly deep in thought, and hardly anything he does is made up on the spot, which is probably his biggest weakness. of course, that doesn't mean he can't improvise or isn't quick-minded, he just doesn't like to make rash decisions and deal with unknown consequences. darkwind can be described as being rather wise for his age, and always has been. he knows just what to say and due to his deep thoughts, can always make something sound meaningful if he feels the need to, though most of the time, everything that comes out of his mouth is meaningful.
quiet and laid-back ,,
for someone is such a rank as deputy, darkwind is incredibly relaxed and seems to take everything in his stride. although he always seems to look tired, he isn't, he just paces everything that he does so as unless needed, he has the energy to keep going for as long as needed. he isn't the most talkative of cats. no, he isn't anti-social, he just doesn't really feel the need to fill the air with mindless chatter, although sometimes, if the right cats asks, he'll happily share tongues with anyone. the thing is, darkwind never raises his voice, not even when he's calling someone from across the camp, his voice just seems to carry, which is one of the reasons why he earned the prefix of 'wind'.
protective and causious ,,
darkwind tends to be one of those cats who favours then entire clan as his family, and in that way, he can be the incredibly overproective brother of them all. but this comes out strongest when he's around his closest fiends and family, as he will often be the one trying to defend them from every little thing. of course, he'll grow out of this, but after his parents deaths and how swanfeather was mistreated, he can't help but feel like he needs to protect those who are closest to him. another thing that can be a bit worrisome, is that darkwind can't stand hurting anyone in his clan, emotionally and physically, which is why he doesn't joke around much, at the fear of hurting someone. he's constantly walking on eggshells, if you want to phrase it like that.
witty and dangerous ,,
the thing about darkwind, is he is just like any other shadowclan cat deep inside, and that is what makes his dangerous. when challenged outside his clan, his anger can flare up in moments, but unlike some, his mind doesn't cloud up, it starts working faster, which is what makes his fighting style pure wit and strength. he doesn't believe in killing without a cause, but he isn't afraid to give challengers a few scars to remember him by. but, you see, as much as he's safe and rather wonderful to be around if you're no threat, he is a very dark-minded tom, who, even though he is against killing, doesn't get emotional about killing another cat. if anything, he won't think twice about it if he feels the need to kill someone. but this he hides very well, and many doin't know of his darker side.
it would appear the prefix 'dark' is a double-sized blade.those roots ,,mother; pebblestep, dark brown tabby she-cat.father; silverwing, large silver tom with green eyes.
