Personality:
Crowclaw can come off as gruff and unsociable, maybe even a little cold and stoic but she's a caring and kind cat under a rather distant and unfeeling exterior. This is due to her becoming deputy and always wanting to do her best and not looking weak, especially since she's not clan born. She's always worked hard because she had to prover herself to the down lookers. She's calm and reserved if not a bit snarky and critical on apprentices and cats not doing their jobs, but can easily become fierce when protecting her clan.

History:
Crowclaw wasn't born to Shadowclan warriors.She isn't clan born. Her father was a kittypet and her mother was a loner, named Leaf. And back then she was named Moon.While her father was around the first moon or so of her life, she doesn't really remember him and doesn't care to as he didn't stay in her life. Her mother, when they were old enough, moved them into the forest and out of the city as it wasn't safe for her or the kits. She was taken into Shadowclan during leaf-bare, when her mother had to make a choice between her and her brother, Pine. Her mother could only take one kit with her and she chose her brother over her. And so she was left in the cold leaf-bare night in the snow, in the middle of the pine forests.
Thankfully, it seemed that Starclan was looking over her that night as she cried pitifully for warmth and her mother. A moonhigh patrol was just returning to camp when they heard her cries. Looking to investigate, they found the tiny shecat kit. The leader of the patrol, a tom named Russetfoot, told them to leave her, that they didn't need another mouth to feed in leaf-bare, especially a loner kit. The other two cats were unsure at what to do, before a light colored shecat named Honeyflower, spoke up, saying that they couldn't just leave, then Moon, to die. Russetfoot reluctantly agreed and told the shecat that she would be finding someone to take care or Moon, before sneeringly saying that she wouldn't make it through leaf-bare. Honeyflower, determined to prove him wrong, picked Moon up and brought her back to camp and to the nursery to warm her up. While Honeyflower brought her to the nursery, Russetfoot, quickly informed their leader, Sootstar of the development.
Meanwhile, Honeyflower quickly found Moon a home with a newly nursing queen named Duskflower. Duskflower quickly took the small freezing shekit in and treated her like her own. And so when Sootstar came into the nursery the next morning, he quickly found the new queen, her kit and the loner kit all curled up together and his mind was made up. Moon would stay in the clan.
It was a few days later that Sootstar called a meeting to officially announce her to the clan and change her name. She would from then on be called Crowkit.Crowkit was still recovering with Duskflower, as she had caught a sniffle from her ordeal. As the moons went on, Crowkit grew stronger and stronger with her foster sister,Redkit to play with. And while it took a little while for her to become comfortable being in the clan, she started to fit in. And while there were cats like Russetfoot who sneered at her whenever she got to close, Crowkit didn't let it get her down because she had cats in the clan like, Sootstar, Duskflower, Tawnystep and Redkit to support her. As Crowkit grew closer and closer to her apprentice ceremony, she grew closer and closer to her sister, Redkit. The two were inseparable, and always causing trouble. And their mother was relieved when Sootstar finally called a meeting for their apprentice ceremony.
And so Redkit, now Redpaw was given Russetfoot as a mentor, Crowkit, now Crowpaw, was given a pure white tom named Cloudwhisker as a mentor. A bit dejected at his white pelt, Crowpaw was still determined to show the cats who doubted her that she would be a warrior even if she wasn't clan born.
