Hemlockshade

**Name:** Hemlockshade **Age:** 140 Moons (November 2023) **Biological Gender:** Tom **Gender identity:** Male **Rank:** Warrior **Kin:** __Siblings:__ ~~Sootfall~~ __Kits:__ ~~Fawnleaf~~, Widowbite, Duskchill, Dawnwielder, Droughtscorch, Tempestprowler __Mate:__ Twilightmist **Mentor(s):** **Apprenice(s):** ~~Jaggedfang~~, ~~Cedarhawk~~, ~~Lucifer~~, Hornetsting, ~~Lilacshade~~, ~~Wolfbane~~, Amanitaveil **Personality:** Cold, calculating, cruel. Even though those are Hemlockshade's main personality traits, he is a rather social cat. He likes spending time with all kinds of cats, getting to know them and befriending them. Either If it's beneficial for him or not. He does a lot of things for himself or some higher sense or power. He is not afraid to _bend_ some rules or to find a hole in the system and use it. **Bio:** Born to two ShadowClan warriors. Hemlockshade had a normal kit hood, same with his apprenticeship. He was always rather a feisty apprentice, but never got to some unusual trouble. As a warrior, he's looking for his own place to shine. In a border brawl, her murders a SkyClanner - Daisystep. **TW: kit death** Hemlockshade murders Silverwillow and ||half of her litter||. He ends up finishing one of her son's warrior training - Wolfpaw. He still tries to have some influence over him. Continuing in his nasty ways, he tries to wiggle his way in favour-ism of Agaricmoon - the now deputy. He also gets rather close with Twilightmist. His relationship with Fawnleaf continues to stay distant. Hemlockshade and Twilightmist become mates. Twilightmist is expecting Hemlockshade's kits! He's an active, loving but strict father once the kits are born. He makes sure that they get the best mentors (in his eyes.) His and his first-born's relationship gets slightly better. Hemlockshade still remains cold and strict, but shows a _bit_ of compassion towards Fawnleaf. He's starting to realize there isn't much more time to make amends. Fawnleaf passes. Hemlockshade doesn't have time to make up with his son and he has to live with that fact. He distracts himself by other things - like his youngest kits and beloved mate. He is there to witness Lilacshade's death, unable to save her. He does not feel any blame or guilt towards her death. He is more disappointed that he hadn't trained the molly better. Hemlockshade receives Amanitapaw as his apprentice. He expects for her to be his last, so he is making sure to train her best to his abilities.
