Silentwatcher slightly resembles the appearance of an oriental cat, with the exception of having thicker fur. He is lanky and nimble, but is fairly muscular despite his slender appearance. He has thicker, short jet black fur that is complimented by a white chin, toes, ear tips, and tail tip. He also has a thin rim of white on the undersides of his eyes. His tail is long and somewhat plumy.

Brief Personality:
Cold, Arrogant, Sarcastic, Stoic
-
Silentwatcher is known for his near silence, arrogant presentation, and his notably cold eyes. He very rarely lets others see past his cold and arrogant exterior, but briefly drops his guard on occasion. As arrogant as he appears, however, Silentwatcher is hardworking and proves his worth in NightClan time and time again, known in the territories as a force to be reckoned with. Because of his constant drive to improve himself to make up for a past mistake, Silentwatcher often overworks himself in training sessions by himself.

Parents:
Whisperingbrook (npc/mother) & Duskheart (npc/father)

Descriptive History:

Silentwatcher was born in DawnClan to Whisperingbrook and Duskheart alongside his brother, Bramblepaw. While the kits were only a few days old, Duskheart left DawnClan to reasons that Silentwatcher was never disclosed to, which lead Whisperingbrook to have a slightly bitter tone to her kits. However, this didn't damper the two- the distance from their mother only brought Silentkit and Bramblekit closer together.

When they were six moons old, they were both apprenticed and given the names Silentpaw and Bramblepaw. The two quickly became popular amongst the other apprentices, Bramblepaw being the outgoing and respected, while Silentpaw was known for his quietness yet quick remarks. Silentpaw was particularly close to a gray molly named Dovepaw, and the two were falling quickly in love.

They continued through their training and soon found themselves at their warrior assessments. During this time, the scent of wolves was becoming harsh toward one of the borders, and Silentpaw's mentor, Snakeshade, forbade him from hunting in that area for safety. Silentpaw scoffed at this, considering that this was one of the best areas for hunting prey. So during the assessment, he went there anyway. However, he ran into a group of four wolves and quickly found himself outnumbered. His cries of fear brought his friends Thornpaw, Blackpaw, Dovepaw, and his brother, Bramblepaw, to help. His friends and brother were quickly slaughtered by the wolves. Silentpaw, injured, scared, and guilty, ran as far as he could and found himself in NightClan territory. 

After being treated at NightClan's camp, Silentpaw was taken to Eveningblaze, as Nightstar was away at the time. Silentpaw told everything that had happened to Eveningblaze, and asked for a place in NightClan as a way to start over from his mistakes. Eveningblaze reluctantly allowed him in under the preface that if Silentpaw slipped his loyalties once, he would be exiled. 

Silentpaw worked hard through NightClan's training, often sneaking out at night to learn the territory, hunt, and practice NightClan fighting tactics. There were many times where Silentpaw was taunted by the other apprentices for suddenly abandoning his Clanmates, but Silentpaw always met their taunts with icy silence. It would fuel Silentpaw's desire to do better, and try harder to make up for the mistakes of what happened to his friends. 

Silentpaw was given his warrior name a few moons later as Silentwatcher, due to his quiet and watchful nature. Not long after he recieved his name, word got around about Tumbleheart's death to leading the wolf pack away. When he was asked about it, Silentwatcher appeared indifferent, claiming that his loyalties were in NightClan now, though internally he blamed himself for the young tom's death; after all, he was the one who gave the wolves a taste for cat blood.
