Nightglaze.

 Independent and stubborn-minded.
- You would almost know that he doesn't listen to anyone if they are considered 'inferior' to him, even if they are in the same rank. Orders from the leader or deputy annoy him unless they manage to impress the prideful tom, and even then...his whiskers would twitch in annoyance upon being ordered around if it's not something that he desires. This makes him rather independent in a teamwork-based clan, making him look more like a rebel and a disappointment to the clan. That's not saying that you won't succeed in making him do work, however, as his tolerance for annoyance is quite low - if you annoy him long enough, he'd snort, comment about how you bother him, but he'd do it for the sake of the silence. He doesn't care about being leader or deputy - he'd probably be bad at it, and he knows it. With such a reputation, he doubt he would gain enough popularity or respect anyway. Plus, in his mind...rules are meant to be broken. He references to them ever so faintly, and has a mindset that makes him disobey them during 'difficult' circumstances. 


 His...other side. 
- If you do manage to impress him and earn his respect or loyalty, congratulations! You will slowly realize that he feels more at ease when you are around, possibly showing how lonely he feels being alone and prideful like this. He would feel embarrassed, too, but he'd get better over time. You would sense a small hint of playfulness in his words too, and a more carefree, happy vibe compared to his calm and observant one, but keep in mind that this side of his tends to be quite rare in appearance.

Brief Backstory: (2-4 sentences PER age frame [before birth, Kithood, Apprenticehood, Warriorhood, etcetc])

 Birth.
- This was a strange phase of his life. Unlike other clanmates that were raised by former generations of Featherclan cats, Nightglaze was actually a new addition later on - his birth had been planned long before his arrival and devotion to clanhood. You see, Nightglaze was the outcome of a young couple's dream, to have their own American Shorthair bred almost perfectly to ensure the lack of physical flaws, and with the help of modern technology, it wasn't impossible at all. He wasn't perfect, no, nor was he artificially engineered - he was simply bred with decent genes, decreasing the chances of his body going kaput early on and ensuring that he wouldn't be an ugly kitty. It was a nice present for the couple indeed, and they were happy to have him. Thus, Nightglaze, formerly known as Oreo (humans and their names...), was born. 

 Kit Life. 
- Oreo grew up as a lone cat in a family of two, taken care of to the degree where he was almost spoiled by their love. The couple thought that they were too young for a baby, so they poured all their affection onto their cat, which...wasn't a bad decision to make, really, judging by the fact  that they were about twenty one years old. Oreo was comfortable as a house cat, with a light blue collar worn proudly around his neck. Despite the lack of things to do, he could always stay content by sitting on a comfortable spot in front of the living room window, looking at the backyard and the unknown that grew beyond it. His early life was easy and laid back, and his 'royalty' allowed his ego to grow even faster than his small body, shaping the personality he possesses in the future. 

 Apprentice Age. 
- Things started to go terribly wrong for poor Oreo. When he was barely old enough to be an apprentice in a clan, he started to feel the absence of love from his family. The male human often walked with his feet dragging along the ground, his head lowered in frustration. The she-human? She started visiting less often to give him his daily pats and cuddles, and eventually stopped as well. What was going on? In a cat's mind, one couldn't tell what the issue was. In reality, the male human, Cody, was feeling quite anxious about his girlfriend, Catherine, who had been suffering from a terminal disease. She was one of the unlucky ones, being sick at such a young age...it was in her genes - one that couldn't be 'bred properly' like Oreo's. Her struggle was reasonably short...and the days after her departure were a complete nightmare for Cody. It started to affect Oreo as well, as the boy started thrashing things around, restless during the day while sobbing through the night. Oreo was starting to become neglected over the man's loss, and the lack of food and care was not healthy for him. To make the problem even worse - Oreo was the creation of their love. He had been their dream for so long, their love, the receiver of all care and affection...now with Catherine gone, every time Cody looked into Oreo's lonely eyes, he could only think of her. How happy she had been. How quickly she had faded away. Eventually, Cody fell into a state of depression, needing medical and psychological care in order to get over his current situation. He patted Oreo, gave him a forced smile and a small farewell, before deciding to set him free into the forests. Under normal circumstances, he'd give Oreo to a pet shop or the pound for adoption, but this cat meant too much for him. He had wanted his love, and Catherine's, to run free. And now, it's the least he could do - to let Oreo find a new life on his own, to run free wherever he pleased in the while. He just hope that Oreo would be alright. 

And so, with his collar now taken off, Oreo ventured out on his own, looking back at his home for the very last time. It was quite a hard hit for him - a formerly proud and arrogant kittypet, now reduced to almost nothing due to the tragic end of one's life. He was not like himself - struggling, trembling...cold and desperate to live in the wilderness, until he was finally taken in by a Featherclan cat - Hazepaw, who would soon grow up into Hazestreak. Upon arrival, he was named Nightpaw, which would eventually become Nightglaze, the latter term used to describe his emotional eyes. At long last, things were starting to take a good turn once more. 

 Warriorhood
- The early stages Warriorhood were still stages of improvement, where Oreo (now Nightglaze) continued to develop and get over his past. His former personalities were starting to reappear, traits that had been shaped by Catherine and Cody long ago. Upon feeling comfortable in the clan, his confidence slowly returned to him (as well as his cockiness), and, to the others' disappointment, he started to stray away from them as well. The return of his former self made him more solitary than needed, and his personality was not liked by all the others. He was now a Warrior in Featherclan - a minor asset to the group overall while he continued to eat their food and be prideful and such. One thing that would be comforting though, would be the fact that he knows his place, and he's finally accepted the clan to be his new home, one that would last a lifetime. 

Even now, a strange firefly tends to follow Nightglaze in the night whenever he's alone. He doesn't know the reason behind its actions, but he assumed that it might be Catherine watching over him from the stars.
