Rowanheart

Story
All of his family was brutally murdered in battle while he was an apprentice. This just caused him to train all the harder and eventually become  the  best warrior, at least with fighting and hunting. He had a loving mate, Amberbreeze, but she was also murdered when he was about 36 moons (3 years) old. Amberbreeze was pregnant when the ShadowClan camp was invaded and the unborn kit also died. He blames himself for Amberbreeze's death because he was out on the moon-high patrol when the ShadowClan camp was invaded by rogues. He thinks that he could have gotten to the camp in time if he had run faster. This is the reason for him becoming so cold-hearted and adept in battle. Also, it is the reason for him always avoiding the nursery and being practically scared of kits. It took him until meeting Slatepaw(leaf) to get over that. Hence the quote, "When my mate died, it took me a very, very long time to come back." It took her a moment to think of what to say. "How long?" "Two hundred three years, twenty-seven days ago." -Sarah J. Maas,  Heir of Fire

Personality
Rowanheart is known to be one of ShadowClan's meanest and fiercest warriors, and to inflict unnecessary wounds in battle, a "stone-cold killer". Truth is, he's never meant to be like this, it just happened. He only acts that way in battle to release his pent up anger, and there's a lot of it, and has a true warrior's "lethal grace and surety". Really he just wants revenge that he knows he can never have, because it's not really any cat's fault what happened. Rowanheart's real personality only comes out when he is around Slateleaf (Slatepaw), because she is the only one who understands what he's been through. Around Slateleaf, he is teasing, sarcastic, playful, and honest. He changed after meeting Slateleaf, but only the cats closest to him, which isn't many, noticed. His reputation changed a little after meeting Slateleaf, but most cats still can't forget about his past. He does not enjoy inflicting pain, like most cats think, but defends his loved ones (not necessarily his clan) with his life.
