Name: Fadingstar
Previous Names: Fadingkit, Fadingpaw, and Fadingcall
Age: 50 moons
Gender:Tom
Clan:SilentClan
Rank:Leader
Appearance: Fadingstar has a rather unique pelt, it is thick and slightly silky yet short. The main color of his pelt is a dazzling white, it does stick out against the green of the forest but Fadingstar makes up for that in sheer skill in hunting. Though most of his pelt is just white his face sticks out considerably from it, patches of light gray splotching along his muzzle and face, going halfway down his chest. They aren't really noticeable but it does look quite unique if you look close enough. Fadingstar's ears are really what set him apart from others, at the bottom they are black and slowly in a gradual way they get lighter and lighter up to their tips. His tail is bushy and rather long, perfect for balancing on the trees.
Fadingstar is built for agility and speed like most of the cats in SilentClan, his back legs are muscular and perfect for jumping to high places. His long pearl colored claws perfect for grabbing onto bark, and they were also naturally helpful in battle and have left quite a few scars on enemies. The only notable scar Fadingstar has is the one cutting through his left shoulder from a fight with his half-sister
Personality: Fadingstar is definetly the quiet type, he can barely get himself to do ceremonies. Besides this he is very respected and not only in his Clan, which is a rather odd thing for anyone in his Clan. His decisions tend to be wise and well thought through, he is not one to jump to conclusions if at all possible. Despite his quiet and modest personality when Fadingstar says something everyone listens, and that isn't just because he's leader.
Around kits he is playful and willing to stay around for a bit to play a few games at their choosing. The tom isn't as playful around apprentices, when training he is completely serious and tends to be harsh in his manner of training. Though all for good causes of course. Fadingstar's only noticeable flaw that most can tell is his great hatred of she-cats, he isn't quick to make friends with them and often can be snappy and rude. Most that knew him as a younger cat would understand that this is just his reaction to a great fear he has.
History: Fadingkit was born any only kit to Glowingflame and Whitecloud, Whitecloud's old mate had died a while back and Glowingflame had giving her the ability to love again. She had had one litter with her old mate, though only the eldest Dreampaw survived the first few sunrises. He was always the observant one of the nursery and never attempted to sneak out or break any rules. Though watching Dreampaw around the other apprentices Fadingkit suspected something, but he wouldn't find out what until he was older.
Fadingpaw was apprenticed to Glowingflame, a caring mentor that was rather lenient but proved helpful in all that Fadingpaw did. He was bullied a lot as an apprentice for being quiet and never tattling on the others, the attacks were led by Dreampaw and her followers of apprentices. On his way to the den from hunting one day he stumbled upon a plan for murdering the leader and all the 'unfaithfuls' of Dreampaw, she included all of his family and her Mother. Dreampaw had cracked a while ago and now dreamt of dealing with the ones that 'punished' her. The next day she and her followers were made warriors and Fadingpaw was left shocked and plotting. Dreamnight was going to ruin the Clan, as she grew older and more respected and followers afraid of being 'taken care of' for not joining up.
Fadingcall was made a warrior and noted for his Bravery and Agility. Over hearing yet another one of Dreamnight's plans he was able to warn the leader, Quickstar, of the growing rebellion against him and somehow managed to get Glowingflame, the deputy and his father, to tell the leader that he was telling the truth. With the exile of Dreamnight most of her followers were able to return to their old ways happy to be rid of her, others went along with her. Fadingcall grew well respected as time passed, given an apprentice by the name of Russetpaw. He was an easy apprentice and Fadingcall grew attached to his easy nature and ways. Leading a patrol one day Fadingcall was ambushed by a scarred figure, one that was hardly recognizeable from the old Dreamnight and a group of her rouge friends.
----------
Fadingcall pricked his ears at the sound of a breaking twig, tilting his head in the direction he flicked his tail for Russetpaw to check it out. Then he nodded to the two warriors behind him to be on the alert. Soon he heard a high battle cry from someone behind him. The air was knocked out of him as he was sent flying into a thicket, clawing his way to the other side of it he found himself in a clearing alone with an ugly cat, she was scarred on almost every inch of her body. Yet Fadingcall had been waiting for this moment for as long as he had exiled her from the Clan, this is what all evil cats seemed to do. Unsheathing his claws Fadingcall hissed at the figure, " Dreamnight! You are an exile, you know what I have to do now!" Leaping up he landed in front of her and swung his back legs out in order to trip the muscular she-cat. " They no longer call me Dreamnight, I am known as Skullcrusher! And that is exactly what I am going to do with you."
Fadingcall stared at his half sister in horror as she didn't trip but instead stopped his legs and attempted to bite into one with her long fangs, he felt the slight crack of bone, and hissed in pain. Kicking out his back fooot at her face she closed her bright yellow eyes and let go of his paw surprised. Charging at her he rammed her down to the ground and pinned her, but she was stronger sending him up flying onto his back. The air was again knocked out of him as she leaped onto him and pressed down hard, claws digging into his soft underbelly. She lifted one paw and clawed at his face, he rolled over and she fell unbalanced. Hissing under her breath she charged at him but at the last second jumped over him and turned around to charge again when he was unprepared. This time Skullcrusher clawed at any part of his body she could reach, and made sure to leave her deep mark upon his shoulder. Pushing up Fadingcall knew it was his turn to reign terror over her, in a series of fierce blows at her he sent her fleeing into the undergrowth and withdrawing her forces from attacking his patrol.
Fadingcall was bleeding heavily, limping, and groaning in pain as he stepped through the brush back to his patrol. The two warriors look as if they had faired better than him, only a few scratches between the two. Russetpaw however had been ganged up on, he know lay motionless in mangled heap at the side of the path. Fadingcall was shocked and in a mixture of shock and blood loss he blacked out. Cedarfall and Oakwhisker carried him back to the Medicine Cat and went back to get Russetpaw. Fadingcall was still in the Meddicine Cat's den when his apprentice was buried.
----------
Fadingcall sunk into grief after his friend was killed in cold blood and has ever since held an irrational hatred of she-cats blaming 'Skullcrusher' for his death. He only fell farther when his mother pass, Glowingflame following soon after. Quickstar named Fadingcall his deputy in honor of his respectable service to the Clan and to honor his father.
Fadingcall returned from his depressin soon after being made Deputy, too busy to be wrapped in sorrow. He took on two apprentices in the time of his Deputyship and was greatly respected by many. A few she-cats chased after the handsome tom but he would accept none of them and ended their chase each of them in a fury.
When Quickstar died Fadingcall took on the name of Fadingstar and the duty of a leader. Still quiet and observant Fadingstar made an excellent leader and intends to spend many moons in this position, he is as loyal as they come and would give all of his lives for SilentClan. Not much has happened of interest yet since being made a leader.
