Maple[kit];;{{Shadow}}clan;;

Maple has two big deep brown, almost amber eyes. They are rounded at crust at the edges during the winter along with his nose. His nose is slight shade lighter than the rest of his fur and is hard to see at moments. Maple's eyes often dart around nervously due to his past, he is always checking for scents, as taught by his father.

Maple's ears are fluffy and large for his age. His body and head has not quite grown into them. His ears will flatten when he is scared or intimidated.

Maple has a strong body despite his age, he can fight off small enemies with ease, but is in no shape to fight a full grown cat.

Maple's fur is a deep dark brown, hard to see at night he makes a perfect night time stalker.
Within the deep brown there are lighter stripes. His fur is short and does not often get caught on bushes.

Maple's paw's are rather large and he often trips over them, his "Mentor" is teaching his to control them in battle.

His tail is long giving him extra balance, his tail has the same markings as the rest of his body but the tip is a wispy white.

Kit - Maplekit was born in Shadowclan, his mother gave birth to two kits, Leafkit and Maplekit. Maplekit and Leafkit were always getting in trouble, from wandering into the medicine cat den to the leaders den, and wandering out of camp and almost into Thunderclan territory.

When Maplekit was four moons old he wandered farther than ever before, it was cold leaffall and he wanted to find the already scarce food for his clan. Along the way he caught only one mouse. He had to eat this to survive. He caught no food for the clan but got lost along the way, he ended up in Thunderclan territory. He never made it back that day.

At almost death he managed to wander into an old fox den. The fox was long gone but Maplekit had forgotten to check for other scents. It was a rouges home.

The rouge's name was Red. He was a dark red-brown tabby tom with dark brown eyes. The rouge was lonely and only wanted a friend.

Soon Red was nursing Maplekit back to health. As he grew older so did Maple. The little kit, now 8 moons old had forgotten everything about his past but his parents.

Soon Red was old enough to be in the elders den. He could no longer hunt for himself and he was usless. One leaffall Red passed on. He was proud of Maple, teaching him to hunt and fight as well as a warrior.

Maple soon wandered off on his own, living for a few sunrises before he stumbled on Shadowclan territory.

Maple is a carefree, outgoing, curious cat overall. (Just like Crookedpaw haha) He is always wondering what to do or what new thing to learn. He is always asking questions. Red had his paws full with this cat.

Maple is always bouncing with energy and excitement but can quickly quiet down to listen... just for a second before another question comes to mind.

Maple can and will be mature when needed. When serious matters occur he is responsible and knows how to handle hard situations.
He is a fast learner; he was taught many things with Red and knows there are many more things to learn.

He is curious of the "clans" red always talked about. Red told him they were evil. Maple can easily get angry at the mention of anything Red got upset about.

Likes: Snow, rain, thunder/lightning... anything different and rare.

Dislikes: Mean cats, cats that just don't care about others.

Maple shifted his eyes from side to side. The forest was dark and the tree's high. It was sunhigh, yet it felt like moonhigh instead. The crisp wind chilled him through and through as he stalked quietly through the undergrowth. The sky was hidden and the sun gone. All of this scared him... but strangly he felt at home. He felt as if he had been here before.

Then something inside of him clicked. His dreams! This was the forest that appeared in his dreams every night. This is where he would see his mother and father... and even his sister.

Maple proceeded with less caution, still being careful. Who knows... maybe his family was telling him to stay away from this place.

A strong scent washed over him. He knew the scent well, but couldnt quite place it.

Maple stuck his nose in the air and took a deep deep breath...
The scent got stronger and stronger until he knew what it was...

Shadowclan!
