Cat's name: Deathheart

Cat's Gender: Male

Cat's rank: Warrior

Cat's personality: Deathheart is a hot-headed, strict, and very closed off tom-cat with a kind, loyal, and tender interior. He tends to rush into conflict before thinking things through and will more often than not endanger himself for the benefits of others. Deathheart has a very short temper, but a big heart. Once you pierce his hard outer shell, he is the best friend you could have wished for.

Cat's Backstory: Deathheart's mother, Opalfang, was a mean and ruthless Dark forest she-cat desquized as a shadowclan warrior. While out on a hunting trip she met a handsome rogue tom whom she fell in love with. Moons later, after her forbidden lover was killed by foxes she realized that she was pregnant. She hated the unborn kits with a passion because they reminded her of her lost lover. And so, when they were finally born, she abandoned them at the edge of the Riverclan border hoping they would either wander into the water and drown or get picked off by predators. Three of Deathheart's 4 siblings siblings died before the Riverclan cat's found them on their way to hunt. Taking pity on the starving kits the Riverclan cat's took in his sibling, overlooking Deathheart due to his dark fur which blended him into the surrounding weeds.

On the verge of starvation the young kit, barely a moon old, began to yowl with all the might that remained in his tiny body. Opalfang, who was out on a hunting trip with her leader and now mate Blackstar, heard the yowl and cursed under her breath- she could recognize the sound of her dying kit. She prayed that Blackstar didn't hear the tiny tom but alas, he too heard the wailing. Deciding to change their course he took them to the very edge of their borders and picked up the young kit, placing it in front of the former queen. He told her she would be responsible for the kit due to the fact she was still carrying milk and the other queens where busy with their own kits. Forced to take back her kit, she took it upon herself to call him Deathkit, much to the disapproval of the other queens in the nursery.

Throughout Deathheart's kit years Opalfang degraded him and made him feel, somehow, he deserved the punishment she was giving him. By his 6th moon he was a closed off shell of what a kit should be. During his apprentice moons, time spent away from his mother, he learned -with the help of his rambunctious and rowdy mentor Silvergaze- to open up to his clanmates little by little, but he wasn't able to loose the feeling that it all was worth it in the long run if his clan was safe and happy, even if he wasn't.

On his last day as an apprentice, during his hunting trial, as he was in the process of returning his large catch, Opalfang who had been suffering of an illness in the medicine cat den finally lost it to her rage induced madness and began to attack the camp, foam and spittle flying from her mouth. Deathpaw had just entered the camp, and seeing that she was heading toward the nursery where his Silvergaze's sister Whillowfall had just given birth to her first litter, he jumped in front of her drawing his mother away from the camp and toward the cliff along their border. Blackstar and his huntin party sees this and rushes to his aid. Together they are able to subdue her long enough for a clanmate to put her down. For his bravery and for putting aside his family bond and removing a threat from the clan, Blackstar gives him his warrior name Deathheart.

Later in his warrior days Deathheart decides he wants to try and put his past behind him and asks a Blackstar to change his name from Death, to something similar. The ever kind leader accepts his request and allows Deathheart to change his name from Death, to Night in honor of every starclan cat watching over him.
