Rank: Warrior
Personality:
STRENGTHS:Description:
[+]Careful strategic. He is constantly thinking ten moves ahead, whether it be in battle or simply helping the clan. He considers all angles of a situation and makes a decision based on that. He never makes a decision before thinking things through or discussing it with his peers.
[+/-]His size. His size is a bit of a strength, and also a weakness. Yes, he can hold his own in battle and his size discourages cats from messing with him, but it is also increasingly difficult to hide from prey unless he can hold his position long enough to bag one before they get startled.
[+]His leadership abilities. He is a natural leader. He can step up and take the reins on nearly every situation.
WEAKNESSES:
[-]Loner attitude. He can be a bit of a loner at times, choosing to remain detached from his clan and help them from the shadows. He had always preferred to be alone, though. And he knew that he could still be a great warrior and also remain on his own. Though, that makes his clan members mistrusting of him at times, and that's never a good thing.
[-]Laziness. Nightcloud can be a bit of a slacker at times. He never really wants to do much more than nap. Especially during the summer heat. He'd much rather climb atop a rock and nap than actually do something.
[-]Mistrusting. He has a hard time getting close to other cats, and an even harder time trusting anyone.
Nightcloud is a very peculiar cat. While most cats enjoy clan life, Nightcloud could really care less. He prefers to be on his own most of the time. But, he rarely gets that opportunity. His duties always pull him back to the clan, no matter how far he may try to stray. Of course, he loves Thunderclan and he loves his home, his empire, but he feels suffocated by it all. Just having the trees looming over him as he sleeps can sometimes give him nightmares. He loves nothing more than helping the clan, and he would protect his clan mates until his dying breath. Even so, he does have to sneak away every now and then to get some sort of relief from the pressing duties of a warrior.
On top of being a bit of a loner, he's also mistrusting. Events in his past have led him to be wary of every cat around him. He is constantly on guard and doesn't let someone see his true colors very easily. He rarely gets close to other cats for this reason. He prefers to remain as the humble and detached warrior of Thunderclan than to have to waste away precious moments feeling awkward having a conversation with someone. He is not particularly individually close with any members of his clan, but still feels a strong sort of paternal love for them. He feels as though he must take care of them, provide for them. And, in truth, he does. He loves his job as warrior, because he can fulfill that need. It also helps because he is not constantly bothered. A simple wave of his tail can signal if he wants to be alone, which is usually the case. He doesn't seek out attention, and he surely does not give it.
The big brute can have a bit of a soft spot for kits, though. He is seen frequenting the nursing mothers' dens very often to give a look at the next generation of Thunderclan soldiers. It fills him with pride to see newborn kits in the territory. Even if he has never had any kits of his own, he feels the same way for them as he does for the rest of his clan mates, like a father. He feels the need to protect the small bundles of fur, but at the same time does not lose the stoic mask of emotionless detachment. He could not look weak in front of his clan mates, lest he risk being challenged.
He is really a kind brute, never rude to anyone unless provoked. But when provoked, he can give quite the tongue lashing. He never wants to be mean, but sometimes a firmness is needed with a clan of rowdy young adults thirsting for blood.

Nightcloud is a large cat, a trait passed down from his ancestors in tribes. He is jet black with only the smallest hint of white here and there. His eyes are startlingly blue, and rimmed in a silver hue. His fur is semi-long and soft to the touch, and he grooms himself rather well. He is really a handsome tom.
Nightcloud; large black tom with blue eyes.History:
Nightcloud was raised as a loner, and he was brought to Thunderclan after his family was attacked by Shadowclan cats. His brother had betrayed their position and joined the clan, leaving Nightcloud with no family to speak of. He was only a kit, and the leader took him in and named him Nightkit, because of how black his fur was. He was trained in the ways of the warriors, but had a strong hatred for Shadowclan. He still has a hard time trusting anyone after what happened with his brother. He doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.
