//Description//
Black-on-black tabby, with pale amber eyes. Silentshadow is a little small for her age, but being the runt of her litter is nothing new to her. What she lacks in size, and strength, she makes up for in speed, agility, and sharp claws.
//Personality//
Despite the fact that Silentshadow is picked on all the time for not talking, she's actually very smart, and she's proved her worth again and again when she found a solution to something that would baffle others. Contrary to common belief, she is NOT deaf, she's just shy, and she thinks body language is a LOT more effective a way to communicate than words. Apprenticing her was difficult for this reason, her mentor never really understood what she was thinking, but he had been surprised again and again by how quickly she progressed in her training.
//History//
Since the very moment she was born, Silentshadow was unusually quiet. She didn't cry out when her embryonic sac broke and she breathed air for the first time. She did not squeal when she was kicked about by her brothers, who were fond of tussling in the moss beside their nest. She did not complain when she had to do her apprentice chores. When people spoke, she flicked her tail instead of meowing. No one could understand what she meant or what she was thinking, though she does her job with honor and her loyalty has remained unquestioned, even if the whole clan doubts her ability to be a real warrior.
As a kit, she was thought of as deaf, but several hearing tests proved that she was not. Her mother and her brothers have tried everything they can think of to get her to say something, but still, she remains silent, never more than a flick of her tail to show that she had heard. Her brother, Cloudpelt, is probably the only one that can really understand what her sign language means. They'll spend hours together, him talking to her in a low whisper and her flicking her ears, our her tail in response, the emotions he could read in her eyes told him what she was saying.
Silentshadow's refusal to speak has earned her her name, and her ability to hunt better than practically any cat in the clan has earned her the respect she deserves.
