please tell me more about swiftshadow
Swiftshadow is a youngish Riverclan warrior, he would have been an apprentice around the same time Flamestar was. He is the youngest kit of Crashclaw and Whitewhisper (two of Riverclan’s senior warriors), as well as the younger brother of the Riverclan deputy, Duckpad. Due being born many moons apart, he and Duckpad are not particularly close, especially after the death of Duckpad’s littermate (and his other older sister) Nightdapple. She sees him as more of an annoyance than a family member, someone constantly treading on her heels in order to get her attention, even if it’s negative.
Swiftshadow struggles with feelings of inadequacy, feeling somewhat out of place in the tight-knit Riverclan community. He’s fiercely loyal, but impulsive, and he believes he’s destined for great things if someone would only give him the chance.
Around a year before the events of Crossfire (name of the oc story) Swiftshadow bore witness to some incriminating information regarding the then Thuderclan warrior Flameleap (not saying what to avoid spoiling anything). Swiftshadow held his tongue about this, instead storing the experience in the back of his brain, in case it became useful at a later date. At the beginning of Crossfire, Swiftshadow has just received his first apprentice, a sweet, bubbly molly named Troutpaw, and Flamestar has just become Thunderclan’s new leader. Seeing this as an advantageous opportunity, Swiftshadow smugly approaches Flamestar with his knowledge, looking to use Flamestar as a pawn in order to benefit Riverclan, or else reveal his secret.
I’ve got some art and stuff planned that will continue to explore their whole blackmailer/blackmailee relationship hehe
Here’s Swiftshadow and Duckpad ^
