likes, Slateshadow enjoys to swim thin the river that runs through AirClan's territory, almost moving like a fish when he goes through water. He also likes hunting fish much more than any other prey in the forest. Being alone is one of his favorite things and sometimes isolates himself when he wants to.
dislikes, He isn't the type that really socializes a lot with other cats, whether in his Clan or otherwise. He hates getting his pelt dirty and is always sure to keep his fur clean and shimmering.
strengths, He has long, slender legs, something odd for a cat originally born to WaterClan, but it lets him fit right in to AirClan; he takes long, graceful strides and is quite an excellent runner. He's also great at swimming and has taught himself how to swim from the little his parents taught him when he was a kit.
weaknesses, Slateshadow is never really in-the-loop with what's going on since he separates himself so often from the rest of AirClan, so he's not educated in the current goings-ons. He's easily distracted by other thoughts and sometimes only does things half-heartedly due to feelings constantly gnawing at his heart. He's also not that strong of a fighter, having more a build meant for running and swimming.
relationship status, Single
sexuality, Homosexual
overall personality, Slateshadow is strange, silent tom, keeping everything to himself. He never speaks about himself and only speaks about other cats; if ever asked a question about himself, the tom will turn the question around or just ignore it completely. He can get lost in thought from time to time and is sometimes seriously affected by depression, feeling detatched and sad. He tries his best to look on the brighter side of things but that usually only makes him feel worse, so instead he'll stick to being a slight bit grumpy and almost always pessimistic.

overall history, Slatekit was originally born to two WaterClan cats, born at the same time as his sister, Dawnfrost. His parents were caring and loving of the two, though Icewing could be a little harsh or mean with them or to Rainflower. Slatekit never understood his rudeness at first, wondering why he was so hard on them, but he did his best to prove to his father that he was the best kit, and to assure him he'd grow to be a strong warrior! Then again, that was always every kit's dream, wasn't it?

Slatekit and Dawnkit were nearing six moons old and they knew they'd soon become apprentices and begin training to be warriors. They were often found play-fighting with one another, performing sloppy attacks and pounces compared to those of the apprentices and warriors, but practice was practice. They were out in camp one day, wrestling around in the grass, when they heard sudden yowls and cries of alarm and suddenly a raid from AirClan burst into their camp.

Icewing and Rainflower immediately went to their kits to protect them from the invading Clan. They did their best, but then Rainflower was killed right infront of Slatekit by an AirClan warrior, whom was then soon taken down by another WaterClan warrior. But Icewing was unable to protect both of his kits; he managed to grab one and escape to safety, but Slatekit was snatched by an AirClan cat and taken away. He thrashed and hissed, trying to escape the cat's jaws, but he was merely a kit and in no shape to take on a fully-grown cat.

They soon arrived back at AirClan's camp and the rest of the raid followed close behind. It was decided they'd keep the kit only because of his long legs, so he'd be able to blend in better with the Clan. Slatekit hated every minute of being there. He tried to escape nearly every day for the first couple of weeks he was there, but he was stopped and caught every time. Eventually he gave up, and by that time he was made an apprentice and given to Squirreltail to be taught the ways of being an AirClan warrior.

Slatepaw constantly fought--verbally and physically--with his mentor, demanding to be taken home. But Squirreltail would pin him down to the ground and tell him he was a part of AirClan now. Sometime during his apprenticeship and during one of these fights, Squirreltail gave him the scar on his shoulder along with the multiple claw scars on his underbelly, trying to break his spirit of hope of ever returning to WaterClan. She was relentless in her training.

Despite her best efforts, Slatepaw continued to hold hope, though eventually he did begin to obey her, though often times it was just so he wouldn't be struck again. He soon found himself being named Slateshadow and now prowls around like a shadow itself. Silent, always silent, and never speaking a word unless spoken to. He still holds deep resentment for the Clan though is too scared to try and run away.

other, If his history isn't alright, just let me know, I'll edit it. ^^
