Appearance & Personality
Cougarmask is a large, tufted russet she-cat with white paws, ear insides, and freckles on her face. She has a white tail base and a white band near the top of her tail, which is tipped with black. Her chest is a lighter shade of red. Black bands also race across her front paws. She has black tufts of fur on her ears, and has emerald-colored eyes. She is intimidating from a first glance. Cougarmask is rather intimidating and cold towards most of her Clanmates.

Brief History
Cougarmask was raised in the original rogue group. Her mother died while kitting, and her father pushed her to be the strongest cat she could be, leading to her intimidating persona. She didn't have many friends growing up, focusing on her warrior life instead. Once the Clans were formed, she was selected by Graystar as ShadowClan's first deputy. She served for several moons until she decided to step down, serving the Clan instead as a normal warrior.

Detailed History
She grew up in ShadowClan's nursery, mostly all alone. Her mother died while kitting, leaving her just with her father. Her father's reputation in the Clan was never good; he was often seen as lazy and incompetent. She wanted to make sure her reputation was never damaged because of this, so she always worked hard and became one of the best fairly quickly. She became a full grown cat, leaving behind most of her childhood friends in favor of continuing her training alone. When Icestar formed the Clans, Cougarmask found herself in ShadowClan, where she continued to live the life she had before.

Young apprentices were often startled by the intimidating she-cat, but Graystar was not. He was impressed by her independence, and decided to make her the first deputy of ShadowClan. She served her Clan as every great deputy should, organizing patrols and serving as an excellent source of council and information. However, her solitary nature caught up with her. She found herself straying more and more from her duties, disappearing often, and it was then that she announced that she would rather serve her Clan as a warrior.
