Raggedshade is serious to say the least. Incredibly serious. Several cats have stated that they have never even seen this moggy laugh in his days of becoming a warrior for his clan while others have stated that they have never even seen the male smile before! It's varies between the cat but it always amounts to the same thing: "Raggedshade is so serious.. What ruffled his fur now?". About one month back to be exact, the cat was seen smiling and laughing, making jokes amongst the clan and always trying to lighten up the mood. He took it upon himself to always make everyone smile, even if he had to do something that could ruin his reputation, something that the tom really values, and still does even to this day. Then one day when Raggedshade became a warrior for the clan, it suddenly just flickered off. No more laughs or smiles from the young tom everything was for the clan now and that included being as serious and stiff as can be. No one seems to know what exactly happened with the fun male that he once was.
Something that describes Raggedshade as well is the desirable trait known as wisdom. It's a trait that he seemed to have all his life, even in his adolescent years (though this can be seen as intelligence instead of wisdom at times), which is quite surprising since wisdom itself is gained with experience and time but wisdom seemed to be forced upon the tom, something which made his life both easier in a sense but made his life a bit more complicated than he would have liked. When he was a bit younger than he currently is now, he was complimented a lot for his quick and intelligent mind, several cats saying things in the lines of "Raggedshade, sometimes I swear that your mind is older..." or "I wish I had your brain...". Sure, this could be interpreted as a good thing and it was but it surely stressed the young cat out. He was scared of failing and was even more scared of losing close clanmates due to his own mind. Raggeshade stresses and panics a lot but puts it all behind with a calm and collected mask so many don't even know that he's struggling and going through all of this. The tom overthinks things a lot and does this often and is very nervous but as stated before, bottles it up deep inside him. He doesn't want others to worry about him and feels as if though there are other much more important matters.
It is not a surprise that Raggedshade is incredibly overprotective, much like many other cats would be if they had his moggy bloodline . He doesn't show it often though but if you look deeply enough in his amber eyes, you'll see the adoration in them before he blinks it away and replaces it with a calm and neutral look. This tom seems to have a wall put up and seems to be fearful of letting cats in too close. Raggedshade keeps quiet of his history though and doesn't even like to say it to his closest friends or family, leading a couple of cats to conclude that that's exactly why this feline acts this way. This isn't the only trait he gets from his moggy bloodline however. He is very loyal as well and would definitely lay down his own life for others, even strangers who he doesn't even know. It's just in his blood and although most of the breeds in his bloodline are considered Gentle Giants, he would kill even the most vulnerable of creatures if it helps his clan in anyway possible although he isn't known to be aggressive, more quiet than anything else though he isn't shy.
The Cowardly Lion wanted courage, perhaps Raggedshade accidentally attracted it all away from him. This male is incredibly brave and seems to have the heart of a lion. He knows of dangers and consequences very well, his wise mind making sure he knew exactly what could end up happening but the male would still risk his life as stated in the last paragraph. Raggedshade doesn't seem to care of the pain he causes himself sometimes from his random heroic acts and would do it over and over again. Although this young cat would risk his own life for a stranger's, he's highly suspicious of them which is strange. He is often mistaken to be very naive due to his incredible loyalty but he still doesn't trust easily when a new cat decides to join the clan. This tom has a tendency to be very emotional but often hides it. He changes moods very often and often questions himself and sometimes scares even himself with his ideas. Raggedshade has always been like this but it definitely got worst with time.

[ History ]
[ Before Birth :: Kithood / 0-6 moons :: Apprenticeship / 6-12 moons :: Adulthood / 12+ moons ]
| Before Birth :: | Raintooth and Rosestem, two young promising warriors of BloomClan had a fling to try and ignore all of the things going on in BloomClan. Rosestem turned out to be pregnant and then it all started.

| Kithood / 0-6 moons :: |
Raggedshade, known as Raggedkit back then, had an unforunate kithood. His parents were both promising warriors. Raintooth was his father and Rosestem his mother. These two had a quick fling, just to try and distract themselves of the growing stress with what was happening in BloomClan. Unfortunately for them, Rosestem turned out to be expecting. She had let Raintooth know who wasn't surprised. He knew the possibilities after all. So, these two decided to become mates and raise their five kits which were from oldest to youngest, Larchkit, Harekit, Thornkit, Raggedkit, and Boulderkit. Raggedkit was born in a rather large litter with four other toms! It was very competitive between them as they wanted attention from their parents. They always seemed to be fighting and were definitely trying their best to please their parents. Their parents were sold on the warrior code and clan life and incredibly loyal to warrior life that as soon as Rosestem could exit the nursery, she left with a smile. It wasn't that she didn't love her kits. She loved them to death! She just hated being shut into a nursery and being forced to lay down and eat. When Raggedkit and his brothers had turned two moons old, the youngest, Boulderkit, got sick with greencough and passed away. Unfortunately, the green cough spread to another brother. Larchkit. He passed away as well. The green cough even reached Raintooth! Raintooth managed to fight off the disease which killed his kits but was incredibly weakened after. Now, only three kits from the litter remained.
| Apprenticeship / 6-12 moons :: |
Once Raggedpaw became an apprentice, he was assigned to a strict tom who was known as Reedear. Reedear immediately expected much from Raggedpaw. He was the son of two great warriors after all and was almost always in their shadow. Raggedpaw, Harepaw, and Thornpaw still argued and fought so they could get their mother's attention. Rosestem had decided to get a new mate when she saw how weak Raintooth had ended up and how close to dying he was. She didn't want to deal with the heartbreak (even if the two didn't love each other romantically) of losing a fellow clanmate. She got together with Bearclaw and quickly became pregnant with two she-kits. Raintooth was strong enough to walk and decided to go on a walk with his son Thornpaw. Raggedpaw and his brothers were eight moons old when Thornpaw and Raintooth vanished from the camp and never returned. There are many thoughts that rushed through the brothers' heads. Did they abandon them? Were they killed? Did they join another clan? Whatever had happened, it had left a rather deep hole in Raggedpaw's and Harepaw's hearts from even more death. However, they knew that Thornpaw was always their father's favorite. He had always praised and loved him and ignored the others. Acornstar hadn't even appointed a search party for them which caused Raggedpaw to lose respect for his leader. It turned out that Rosestem was having troubles giving birth to the two she-kits as well and sadly passed away but managed to give birth. Unfortunately, she gave birth to a dead she-kit but one lived! They decided to name her Rosekit after her mother. Soon after that, Raggedpaw and Harepaw only grew more and more tense with each other. Harepaw began blaming Raggedpaw for all the death in their family and all Raggedpaw could do was frown and look away. Raggedpaw and Harepaw were eleven moons old when their half sister, Rosekit, passed away. It had turned out that she was too weak to live and had went to hunt with StarClan. This was the final strike for Harepaw.

| Warriorhood / 12+ moons :: |
When the two finally became warriors, Harenose decided to go and search for his father and brother. Raggedpaw, now Raggedshade, had assured the other tom that they were long gone and were most likely dead. Harenose refused to believe him. He spat out nonsense and walked out the same exit of the camp that his father and his brother both had and never turned back. Raggedshade was appointed to a search party surprisingly enough to go and find his brother. They had stumbled upon him! Only to find his limp body on the forest floor with dry blood sticky on his dear brother's striped and brown pelt and several small animals chomping away at the corpse. Sure, Harenose had blamed Raggedshade for several things but the tom still loved him very deeply, even if Harenose didn't love him back. This had just shut down Raggedshade completely. It changed him completely. Even with all the death that had happened, the tom could smile everyday because his brother was there, even if he hated him. Now, he didn't see the point in making jokes. So, the patrol decided to leave Harenose there as he was already gone. Raggedshade could do nothing but go back to camp and try to get closer to his former step-father Bearclaw, the cat who also had to endure the same deaths that Raggedshade had to go through. Thankfully, the large tom was also interested in getting to know Raggedshade better and so they did. Four moons passed by. Raggedshade was sixteen (16) moons old and Bearclaw taught him some rogue moves that he had learned back in the day when he was a rogue. They bonded through exactly that. Training in other manners that his mentor, Reedear, hadn't bothered to teach him. When Raggedshade turned eighteen (18) moons old, Bearclaw decided to retire and become an elder. He was fifty-eight (58) moons old when he did so. Raggedshade was twenty (20) moons old when Bearclaw passed away at the age of sixty (60) moons old. He wasn't old so it was something unidentified that had killed him. He had died with a smile on his face. Raggedshade couldn't help but grow distant with his clanmates after Bearclaw's death and had sworn that he wouldn't grow close to any other cat as it only caused him pain and that smiling was just a waste of time as the smile would eventually fade away.

role play example ||
The rather stocky brown tom awakened from the warrior's den, orange eyes narrowing instinctively as the rays from the sun hit his face. With a deep growl, the tom shook his head, the droopy fur from his muzzle ruffling up in response before he stood up and laid his curled up tail next to his large paws. Raggedshade flattened his strange ears in a lazy manner before standing back up onto his paws and exiting out of the den with a flick of hsi curled tail. Silent paws made their way over to the fresh kill pile, the overwhelming and warm scent hitting his nose straight away. Letting out a yawn, he sat down in front of the pile up prey and licked his whiskers with a flick of his tongue and looked around, orange eyes scanning the camp area. With a bristle of his fur, the tom lowered his head to grab a fresh squirrel from the pile. This wouldn't be a problem, he could just hunt for more when he would go out for the usual morning hunt he would join. The deputy most likely knew about his workaholic behavior, especially after Bearclaw had passed away but Raggedshade didn't mind all the work. As long as it helped the clan, what more was there to avoid? So, the cat laid on his cream belly and took careful and small bites from the squirrel. For some strange reason, after his former step-father had joined StarClan, the delicious and welcoming taste of fresh prey had only faded away as time went by. Raggedshade had no idea why and frankly didn't care much about it either. After finishing up the squirrel by himself, he looked around at his clanmates again, odd ears flattened slightly. As his eyes landed on the cats of BloomClan, he couldn't help but frown and swallow the knot forming in his throat. No, it was no time to get emotional... And yet, he was alone. He would hear the laughs of his clanmates as they enjoyed each other's company but all he was after the majority of his family had passed away was being alone. It surely didn't feel great, even for the workaholic tom himself. Raggedshade shook his head, letting out yet another growl before padding back into the warrior's den. The tom laid in his nest, head resting on his paws as he looked at the entrance and exit of the den. Surely his clanmates would let him know about the morning patrol or hunt. So, the young tom decided to close his orange eyes and get some more rest. Something he lacked for the past couple of moons.

Raggedshade is serious to say the least. Incredibly serious. Several cats have stated that they have never even seen this moggy laugh in his days of becoming a warrior for his clan while others have stated that they have never even seen the male smile before! It's varies between the cat but it always amounts to the same thing: "Raggedshade is so serious.. What ruffled his fur now?". About one month back to be exact, the cat was seen smiling and laughing, making jokes amongst the clan and always trying to lighten up the mood. He took it upon himself to always make everyone smile, even if he had to do something that could ruin his reputation, something that the tom really values, and still does even to this day. Then one day when Raggedshade became a warrior for the clan, it suddenly just flickered off. No more laughs or smiles from the young tom everything was for the clan now and that included being as serious and stiff as can be. No one seems to know what exactly happened with the fun male that he once was.
Something that describes Raggedshade as well is the desirable trait known as wisdom. It's a trait that he seemed to have all his life, even in his adolescent years (though this can be seen as intelligence instead of wisdom at times), which is quite surprising since wisdom itself is gained with experience and time but wisdom seemed to be forced upon the tom, something which made his life both easier in a sense but made his life a bit more complicated than he would have liked. When he was a bit younger than he currently is now, he was complimented a lot for his quick and intelligent mind, several cats saying things in the lines of "Raggedshade, sometimes I swear that your mind is older..." or "I wish I had your brain...". Sure, this could be interpreted as a good thing and it was but it surely stressed the young cat out. He was scared of failing and was even more scared of losing close clanmates due to his own mind. Raggeshade stresses and panics a lot but puts it all behind with a calm and collected mask so many don't even know that he's struggling and going through all of this. The tom overthinks things a lot and does this often and is very nervous but as stated before, bottles it up deep inside him. He doesn't want others to worry about him and feels as if though there are other much more important matters.
It is not a surprise that Raggedshade is incredibly overprotective, much like many other cats would be if they had his moggy bloodline . He doesn't show it often though but if you look deeply enough in his amber eyes, you'll see the adoration in them before he blinks it away and replaces it with a calm and neutral look. This tom seems to have a wall put up and seems to be fearful of letting cats in too close. Raggedshade keeps quiet of his history though and doesn't even like to say it to his closest friends or family, leading a couple of cats to conclude that that's exactly why this feline acts this way. This isn't the only trait he gets from his moggy bloodline however. He is very loyal as well and would definitely lay down his own life for others, even strangers who he doesn't even know. It's just in his blood and although most of the breeds in his bloodline are considered Gentle Giants, he would kill even the most vulnerable of creatures if it helps his clan in anyway possible although he isn't known to be aggressive, more quiet than anything else though he isn't shy.
The Cowardly Lion wanted courage, perhaps Raggedshade accidentally attracted it all away from him. This male is incredibly brave and seems to have the heart of a lion. He knows of dangers and consequences very well, his wise mind making sure he knew exactly what could end up happening but the male would still risk his life as stated in the last paragraph. Raggedshade doesn't seem to care of the pain he causes himself sometimes from his random heroic acts and would do it over and over again. Although this young cat would risk his own life for a stranger's, he's highly suspicious of them which is strange. He is often mistaken to be very naive due to his incredible loyalty but he still doesn't trust easily when a new cat decides to join the clan. This tom has a tendency to be very emotional but often hides it. He changes moods very often and often questions himself and sometimes scares even himself with his ideas. Raggedshade has always been like this but it definitely got worst with time.

[ History ]
[ Before Birth :: Kithood / 0-6 moons :: Apprenticeship / 6-12 moons :: Adulthood / 12+ moons ]
| Before Birth :: | Raintooth and Rosestem, two young promising warriors of BloomClan had a fling to try and ignore all of the things going on in BloomClan. Rosestem turned out to be pregnant and then it all started.

| Kithood / 0-6 moons :: |
Raggedshade, known as Raggedkit back then, had an unforunate kithood. His parents were both promising warriors. Raintooth was his father and Rosestem his mother. These two had a quick fling, just to try and distract themselves of the growing stress with what was happening in BloomClan. Unfortunately for them, Rosestem turned out to be expecting. She had let Raintooth know who wasn't surprised. He knew the possibilities after all. So, these two decided to become mates and raise their five kits which were from oldest to youngest, Larchkit, Harekit, Thornkit, Raggedkit, and Boulderkit. Raggedkit was born in a rather large litter with four other toms! It was very competitive between them as they wanted attention from their parents. They always seemed to be fighting and were definitely trying their best to please their parents. Their parents were sold on the warrior code and clan life and incredibly loyal to warrior life that as soon as Rosestem could exit the nursery, she left with a smile. It wasn't that she didn't love her kits. She loved them to death! She just hated being shut into a nursery and being forced to lay down and eat. When Raggedkit and his brothers had turned two moons old, the youngest, Boulderkit, got sick with greencough and passed away. Unfortunately, the green cough spread to another brother. Larchkit. He passed away as well. The green cough even reached Raintooth! Raintooth managed to fight off the disease which killed his kits but was incredibly weakened after. Now, only three kits from the litter remained.
| Apprenticeship / 6-12 moons :: |
Once Raggedpaw became an apprentice, he was assigned to a strict tom who was known as Reedear. Reedear immediately expected much from Raggedpaw. He was the son of two great warriors after all and was almost always in their shadow. Raggedpaw, Harepaw, and Thornpaw still argued and fought so they could get their mother's attention. Rosestem had decided to get a new mate when she saw how weak Raintooth had ended up and how close to dying he was. She didn't want to deal with the heartbreak (even if the two didn't love each other romantically) of losing a fellow clanmate. She got together with Bearclaw and quickly became pregnant with two she-kits. Raintooth was strong enough to walk and decided to go on a walk with his son Thornpaw. Raggedpaw and his brothers were eight moons old when Thornpaw and Raintooth vanished from the camp and never returned. There are many thoughts that rushed through the brothers' heads. Did they abandon them? Were they killed? Did they join another clan? Whatever had happened, it had left a rather deep hole in Raggedpaw's and Harepaw's hearts from even more death. However, they knew that Thornpaw was always their father's favorite. He had always praised and loved him and ignored the others. Acornstar hadn't even appointed a search party for them which caused Raggedpaw to lose respect for his leader. It turned out that Rosestem was having troubles giving birth to the two she-kits as well and sadly passed away but managed to give birth. Unfortunately, she gave birth to a dead she-kit but one lived! They decided to name her Rosekit after her mother. Soon after that, Raggedpaw and Harepaw only grew more and more tense with each other. Harepaw began blaming Raggedpaw for all the death in their family and all Raggedpaw could do was frown and look away. Raggedpaw and Harepaw were eleven moons old when their half sister, Rosekit, passed away. It had turned out that she was too weak to live and had went to hunt with StarClan. This was the final strike for Harepaw.

| Warriorhood / 12+ moons :: |
When the two finally became warriors, Harenose decided to go and search for his father and brother. Raggedpaw, now Raggedshade, had assured the other tom that they were long gone and were most likely dead. Harenose refused to believe him. He spat out nonsense and walked out the same exit of the camp that his father and his brother both had and never turned back. Raggedshade was appointed to a search party surprisingly enough to go and find his brother. They had stumbled upon him! Only to find his limp body on the forest floor with dry blood sticky on his dear brother's striped and brown pelt and several small animals chomping away at the corpse. Sure, Harenose had blamed Raggedshade for several things but the tom still loved him very deeply, even if Harenose didn't love him back. This had just shut down Raggedshade completely. It changed him completely. Even with all the death that had happened, the tom could smile everyday because his brother was there, even if he hated him. Now, he didn't see the point in making jokes. So, the patrol decided to leave Harenose there as he was already gone. Raggedshade could do nothing but go back to camp and try to get closer to his former step-father Bearclaw, the cat who also had to endure the same deaths that Raggedshade had to go through. Thankfully, the large tom was also interested in getting to know Raggedshade better and so they did. Four moons passed by. Raggedshade was sixteen (16) moons old and Bearclaw taught him some rogue moves that he had learned back in the day when he was a rogue. They bonded through exactly that. Training in other manners that his mentor, Reedear, hadn't bothered to teach him. When Raggedshade turned eighteen (18) moons old, Bearclaw decided to retire and become an elder. He was fifty-eight (58) moons old when he did so. Raggedshade was twenty (20) moons old when Bearclaw passed away at the age of sixty (60) moons old. He wasn't old so it was something unidentified that had killed him. He had died with a smile on his face. Raggedshade couldn't help but grow distant with his clanmates after Bearclaw's death and had sworn that he wouldn't grow close to any other cat as it only caused him pain and that smiling was just a waste of time as the smile would eventually fade away.

♦ I tried out for Raggedshade and managed to get him! Still very happy about that.
♦ Raggedshade had two other potential names which were Larkspeck and Tanglebright.
♦ Raggedshade has some Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest Cat in him or maybe even Siberian in him! You can see it due to the extra fluff on him and due to his stocky build but other than that, trying to find out what breed he is might be close to impossible.

role play example ||
The rather stocky brown tom awakened from the warrior's den, orange eyes narrowing instinctively as the rays from the sun hit his face. With a deep growl, the tom shook his head, the droopy fur from his muzzle ruffling up in response before he stood up and laid his curled up tail next to his large paws. Raggedshade flattened his strange ears in a lazy manner before standing back up onto his paws and exiting out of the den with a flick of hsi curled tail. Silent paws made their way over to the fresh kill pile, the overwhelming and warm scent hitting his nose straight away. Letting out a yawn, he sat down in front of the pile up prey and licked his whiskers with a flick of his tongue and looked around, orange eyes scanning the camp area. With a bristle of his fur, the tom lowered his head to grab a fresh squirrel from the pile. This wouldn't be a problem, he could just hunt for more when he would go out for the usual morning hunt he would join. The deputy most likely knew about his workaholic behavior, especially after Bearclaw had passed away but Raggedshade didn't mind all the work. As long as it helped the clan, what more was there to avoid? So, the cat laid on his cream belly and took careful and small bites from the squirrel. For some strange reason, after his former step-father had joined StarClan, the delicious and welcoming taste of fresh prey had only faded away as time went by. Raggedshade had no idea why and frankly didn't care much about it either. After finishing up the squirrel by himself, he looked around at his clanmates again, odd ears flattened slightly. As his eyes landed on the cats of BloomClan, he couldn't help but frown and swallow the knot forming in his throat. No, it was no time to get emotional... And yet, he was alone. He would hear the laughs of his clanmates as they enjoyed each other's company but all he was after the majority of his family had passed away was being alone. It surely didn't feel great, even for the workaholic tom himself. Raggedshade shook his head, letting out yet another growl before padding back into the warrior's den. The tom laid in his nest, head resting on his paws as he looked at the entrance and exit of the den. Surely his clanmates would let him know about the morning patrol or hunt. So, the young tom decided to close his orange eyes and get some more rest. Something he lacked for the past couple of moons.
