Additional Personality Info
Due to her inexpressiveness, she comes across as bland, aloof, and apathetic. She's really an overthinker who spends a lot of time in her own head. She can forgetful or inattentive due to this, but it isn't intentional or malicious... she's just trying to think of what to say. Her apathetic appearance is due to her upbringing; she's always had to supress her true feelings for the sake of familial peace and keeping them happy. She tends to put her family's needs before her own, and will lie or ignore her own wishes in order to make someone else happy, especially her mom. Ibismask has strict feelings about Scale and how to act, her twin does too. Shadow took that to heart, even if they'd probably prefer her to be herself and be happy... she just wants to keep them happy and for them to be proud of her. But she has an inner conflict of wanting to keep her family happy and wanting to fit in to Scale, which her mother doesn't agree with, so she keeps it to herself.
Under that inexpressive shell is a very anxious, generous, kindhearted cat who seeks to please and really wants to be her own person, but feels too suppressed to do so. She's naturally curious and a good listener when she isn't overthinking things. She tends to let too much slide for the sake of keeping the peace though, and doesn't act when she probably should in defense of what's right... even if she knows she should do something, she just... it's too overwhelming, confusing, she doesn't want to hurt anyone. Shadow is also incredibly naive in the ways of the world, attributing to her natural curiosity to figure out what the world is about, but she's also easily manipulated.
Physical Description
Detailed Appearance
Shadow is somewhat small with a sleek, agile build. The majority of her fur is silky and black apart from some details on her face, ears, chin, neck, and chest, which are white. Her eyes are a fully-colored dark blue with speckled lighter blue, and her pupils have a white reflective slit in the middle. She's a shorthair through and through. She has big round ears, almond shaped eyes, and a rounded face, all of which struggle to show emotion. She has small paws and a thin, rounded tail. Two thin scars run across her muzzle, colored the same as her inner ears which are a purplish-pink flesh color. Her nose is a darker black. Majority of the time she postures very low, with her head down and shoulders high, sometimes bringing her hind legs forward to arch her back. When curious, her eyes open a little wider, her head rises, and her back straightens.
Scars / Injuries
- Twin cuts over bridge of muzzle, stretching over left side of face (garter snake bite)
Relationships
STANDING
ScaleClan
Among Scale, she's just your average forgettable warrior; nothing special, never stood out, never broke rules either. She really wants to make her clan proud though, and fit in even if she doesn't act like the rest. She isn't going to act unlike herself to fit in, but... she does wish they'd like her regardless, and that she could do something big to earn recognition. Alas, with her mother's watchful eye upon her, she won't... but she'll perform her duties as commanded and hope one day her chance comes. Scale is her home, she's loyal to it and her family... even if her family is not.
Ibismask
Mum.
Part of Ibismask's first litter alongside Nymphtail, Shadow is Ibis's only daughter. She's very close with her mom, maybe even a little too dependent on her... but Shadow knows that. She feels comfortable expressing herself to a certain extent in front of her mom, but does keep things from her for the sake of peace and her mother's happiness. She wants to make her mum proud, but that conflicts with her desires toward Scale... and her own personal feelings. She loves Ibismask, and can frequently be seen near her or hiding behind her.
But even Shadow can acknowledge that their relationship isn't the healthiest, even if she'd deny it out loud. She feels she has to lie to her and to herself to keep her family together, and her mother's opinions can be a little... intimidating. Stifling. Especially when Shadow wishes for things her mother doesn't approve of... so she doesn't know about them. No one does. She... isn't very happy, truly. Deep down, some part of Shadow longs for a connection outside of her own family, which is strictly against their idea of loyalty only toward family. So she's complied so far... but it's only a matter of time before the desire for independence starts to build and overflow.
Nymphtail
Brother...
Her littermate, her brother, her best friend... her closest friend. They've been together since birth, and Shadow has no plans for them to separate.
Shadow loves Nymphtail, and like Ibismask, she might be a little too attached to him. She's incredibly dependent on him in social situations, even if she doesn't like how rude he can be. In fact, there's a lot of things he does that worry her, or that she doesn't like... but it's all forgiven because he's her brother. He's important to her, his happiness is important to her. But... she knows he's in the wrong for a lot of things, and that she should probably say something, but... she just can't. She can't bring herself to confront him, but she's getting more and more stressed every time he talks to Duckpaw or treats someone poorly. He treats her kindly and cares for her just as she does for him, and that makes it harder for her. She feels torn up about Nymph, very much like she does with Ibis.
Duckpaw
Little brother.
Shadow's younger brother... or half-brother? Only Ibis knows. Duckpaw is the clan's healer apprentice.
She isn't as close with Duckpaw as the rest of her family, or as much as she would like. She loves her little brother regardless, and will slip him some things she finds as gifts when Nymph isn't looking. Feathers, prey, flowers she finds... whatever she thinks will make him happy. She doesn't think he knows who leaves them, but he knows it's her. She feels like she can't get close to him because of Nymph's disdain toward Duck, which she finds incredibly stressful and sad... Duckpaw hasn't done anything wrong. He's very sweet, and he's doing good at his job. Shadow feels very guilty about how Nymph treats Duck, and even guiltier that she hasn't done anything to stop it. All she feels she can do is leave him little gifts and talk to him sometimes when Nymph isn't around.
