Gravelcave

Appearance & Personality
Gravelcave is a short, lithe dark gray tom. His black and white markings resemble those of calico cats but lack any ginger. He has long fur and striking light blue eyes.

At first glance, Gravelcave is a skittish, quiet little tom. He works at his own pace and is very cautious. Gravelpaw doesn't seem that brave or ambitious to most cats, and he won't go out of his way to change that. Unless he meets a cat that interests him. Then he'll do anything to get their attention, even if it's mouse-brained or dangerous.

Brief History
Gravelcave and Goldcloud were born to Brighteyes as her final litter of kits. She and Graystar always favored Gravelpaw's sister, but he didn't seem to mind too much. He was devastated when a fox took Graystar's final life and went on to heavily oppose Nightwing, unwilling to let her replace his father. After the civil war he became Moonwing's apprentice.

Detailed History
Gravelkit was born alongside Goldkit to Brighteyes and Graystar, the two ShadowClanners' final kit litter. There weren't many other kits in the nursery at the time, allowing young Gravelkit to be rather reserved. He was quick to notice his parents' preference for his sister, and while it certainly didn't make him feel great, he never seemed to mind. Despite not seeing him very often, Gravelkit looked up to and aspired to be like his father. So when Graystar lost his final life saving him and Goldkit from a fox, Gravelkit was crushed.

He immediately knew he disliked Nightwing, the stranger who claimed she was Graystar's long lost daughter with a she-cat from the Farlands. Not only was she attempting to take over Graystar's position right after his death, this was yet another sibling, a strong and charismatic one, at that. Goldkit took a liking to her supposed half-sister however, and when the Clan split into two, Brighteyes had to stay with Nightwing to support her only daughter, and so did Gravelkit. For most of Nightwing's leadership, Gravelkit stayed in the nursery and sulked, frightened by the frequent fighting and yelling.

Though he hid for most of the battle, Gravelkit was overjoyed when Hailfall finally defeated Nightwing in a fight. The deputy then called for a Clan meeting, addressing all of Nightwing's supporters to order them to pledge allegiance to her or leave ShadowClan forever. Gravelkit was relieved when Goldkit came forward and apologized for trusting Nightwing, and though he felt bad for her, he was glad his whole family was back on the same page. The two siblings were made apprentices later that day, and now he is Gravelpaw, training under Moonwing.
