Description: Eclipseclaw is a small-built cat with short, sleek black fur. She is black, even her nose, inner-ears, and pads of her paws are black. She has a white splotch on her stomach. However, in the sun's glow her thin whiskers can pass for a dark shade of silver. She is muscular, but gracefully so that she does not look overly bulky. Her claws are black as well, making them difficult for an opponent to see, night or day. Her muzzle sticks out almost pointedly, yet the fur framing her face appears rounded. Finally, she has murky blue eyes, ever swirling with mysterious thoughts.
Personality: Eclipseclaw is quiet, and her voice has become raspy at a young age, as if her throat dried from constant sobbing. She is not strategic or calculating as Acornsquash had been. Yet she possesses a knowledge just as true as technical fact. She has gained wisdom and can see through most lies and past threats.
She doesn't look it, but she carries burning hatred in her core. Sometimes it flares up for no reason at all, but she'll picture Acornsquash's smug face and she gets violent. Rather than saying anything, or hitting some cat, she claws tree bark to release the rage.
Though her hatred makes her seem brave in the daylight. Eclipseclaw suffers in the place she knows that she is powerless...her dreams. She has horrific nightmares, reliving the deaths of her siblings, especially Goldenbutt(ha).
She has many issues, but she puts what's left of her trust goes to Starclan, There must be some reason that they spared her from Acornsquash's wrath. As for her siblings, she watches them closely, but distances herself from them at the same time. She is never cold or mean to them. She just doesn't want to get too attached. Which is hard to explain to Honeydapple.
History: (basically the same as Honeydapple but I'll try) Eclipsekit was born in a litter of four. The second litter of her parents Tigertail and Foxstep. Their first litter of kits had already become apprentices.
The kits lived happy normal lives for the most part. Unfortunately, one day Acornpaw and Goldenpaw, their older siblings, had come to play with them. Eclipsekit was thrilled to see her brother, but Acornpaw insisted on playing with Canyonkit, her brother and the only tom of the litter. She could tell that he was hurting him, but by the time she spoke up it was too late. Stunned, she listened in petrifying fear as her brother threatened to kill them if they told any cat.
Eclipsekit became quieter and all the wiser because of her brother's death. She watched Acornsquash become a warrior, and felt burning hatred for him every moment throughout the ceremony. She tried to convince Goldenbutt(haha) to get help for them, but sadly Acornsquash got to her first. Again, she and her sisters were forced to watch a sibling die, and threatened not to speak of it. Eclipsekit never knew if Acornsquash had heard her ask Goldenbutt(HAHA!) to get help. She never knew...if she was responsible for her sister's demise.
Moons later, Foxstep disappeared. Eclipsekit, even more knowledgeable of the cruel world now, figured that there were two possible explanations: He ran away, or Acornsquash got him. She would never know which was true. She preferred the latter, but held out hope for him to be alive too.
Her mother, Tigertail, abandoned Eclipsepaw, Honeypaw, and Sunsetpaw. Eclipsepaw brushed it off, now used to having family disappear or die around her. Acornsquash turned up dead. Eclipsepaw didn't even sit vigil for him. She spent that night pretending to be violently ill.
She became a warrior alongside her three siblings. He suffix is "claw" in honor of her mentor and her hard-earned fighting skills. Although she still despises Heronstripe, Honeydapple's love, her bond with her sisters has proved stronger than her hate of him.
