ShadowClan is a clan where misery loves company, and no one was more miserable than Smogmaw.
Born to loner parents in a litter of four, and initially named Smoky, he was a very rambunctious kit who did well at games like "smack your sister", but one he really excelled at was "who bit me?" Unfortunately, only three of the litter would make it past kithood, and his mother would vanish not too long afterward. This thrust Smoky's father into a troublesome situation, and he looked to the Marsh Colony for a new home for his family. As he matured, his once lively and energetic personality became more reserved, and this was especially true after the Great Battle. Having slain someone during the fighting, and witnessing the abrupt loss of his father and brother, the tom became extremely withdrawn. His once outwardly expressive personality became trapped within the confines of his own mind, and Smogmaw's clanmates in ShadowClan would come to know him as someone who always lurked in the shadows, numbed, compulsive, and always plotting
something.
Halfshade came from a loner commune in two-leg place where she went by Catherine and was viewed more as a prize than a peer by her group's leader. Her life prior and her family is not one she discusses often, but she will occasionally mention her mother with a fondness. Her time in the loner commune was strained and her relationship with it's leader unhealthy at best with the two of them constantly at one another's throats. Their conflict eventually resulted in bloodshed, his life ending and the disbanding of the entire collection of cats. She was to take up the mantle of leadership in his place, but chose instead to flee. She only came to ShadowClan during its initial creation: having no knowledge of the previous colonies nor their war. Her time in her old group made her guarded with her emotions, presenting a facade of friendliness while being skeptical of any cat who interacted but she developed a genuine fondness for Smogmaw's brutal honesty and dry wit. It was during the struggling leafbare that she even developed a proper kinship with her new home and the tabby tom who seemed to care more than he let on. There was no dancing around feelings outside the initial discussion, the two very quickly came to terms with their interest in the other and made it official over a night walk.
As the moons waxed and waned, Smogmaw had been appointed as ShadowClan's new deputy, while Halfshade had to retire to the nursery den. Her stomach bulges with a litter of their own, and neither she nor Smogmaw could be happier about the promise of new life to come.
