1st Place: Ravenflight
2nd Place: Moss-star
3rd Place: Cloudheart

Ravenflight
Appearance: She is a bright-orange she-cat with pure white paws and a white belly. Her ears are tipped with black, and she has a black splash shaped like a raven on her chest. Her eyes are bright green, with something thats not quite cat. She's not small, rather medium sized, but very swift and fierce in battle.
Personality: Ravensprit is usually very sweet and kind, but she is short-tempered and has a very sharp tongue. She sometimes seems depressed, but she can be hyper and very frisky. She has a soft spot for kits, and can be seen playing with them when she's not busy with patrols or other warrior tasks. She is a bit ambitious, and if offered the position of deputy she would take it before you could say 'mouse.'
Strengths: She is extremly skilled in battle, with a fury that cannot be equaled. She is a fairly dismal hunter, but she improved under the watchful eye of her love Talonpaw. She is a strong and natural leader, rather popular among her fellow warriors. She knows a lot of long words, their origins unknown. (This may have to do with her unknown history.)
History: When Russetfur, Oakfur, Tawnypelt and Ceaderheart were on patrol one rainy, miserable night, a small orange kit was found in a holly bush. Russetfur felt something inside her stir, and brought her home to the Clan where she was accepted. Two sunsets after she came to the Clan, Littlecloud had a dream, where an unkown voiced hissed the following prophecy.
'ShadowClan will face many hard times. The survival of the Clan will depend on a cat with heart and spirit….The spirit of the strongest raven.'
Thus, she was given the name Ravenkit. Tallpoppy acted as her foster mother, caring for her until she reached her sixth moon. She was apprenticed to Russetfur, who had a special fondness for the little cat. A few moons later she met Talonpaw, and finaly told him the truth about who and what she had been.....And what her true form was. It looked to be a beautiful relationship.... But only a few sunsets later, Talonpaw dragged himself into the camp, bullied by the kitty-pets when he went out alone. He died, with Ravenpaw by his side. She became cold, almost a faceless shadow among her fellow cats, not eating or bothering to care for herself. Six moons later, she was given her warrior name, Ravenspirit. By this time she seemed her normal self, but there are days when she seems depressed. She has become a legend for her battle skills, and is of particular intrigue to Firestar. When Tawnypelt's kits reach their sixth moon, one will become her apprentice. She knows nothing of the prophecy that unfolded many seasons ago; But soon, her destiny will unfold and take shape. And the prophecy will be fulfilled. Clan: ShadowClan

Moss-star
Appearance: Moss-star is a short tom, with pale blue eyes. His tail is long, and his pelt is a dark shade of gray. His belly fur is white- He is unusually small and his left ear is nothing but shreds. His tattered ear is a result of a battle against Shadowclan.
Description/Personality: Moss-star loves kits and spends much of his time in the nursery. He is weak compared to most leaders but leads Thunderclan wisely; he has good judgment but does not hesitate to attack another cat, although he is likely to lose most fights. He realizes he is not a strong cat so her never takes on an apprentice and he chooses deputies cautiously. Moss-star hunts like an average warrior and usually does not bring back much fresh-kill, but he is loved by all his clan mates. All of the cats in Thunderclan admire his gentle ways and wise thoughts. He is unusually close to Starclan and often is gone for days at a time to visit moon-stone; at which time he leaves a deputy in charge. Moss-star often lets his deputy take lead in a battle as they are stronger than he is.
Clan information: He is the leader of Thunderclan
Strengths: Moss-star is not strong in many areas except for his judge-ment and quick thinking.
History: Moss-star was was as the only sibling to his ill mother. She died shortly after giving birth to him, and Moss-star was raised by an elderly queen with a gentle tongue who lead him through his entire life until he became leader. When he was an apprentice he was popular among his friends as being the wittiest, but he was often left behind for his short legs left him slow when they explored the forest. When he became a warrior he was named Mossheart, and he was never thought to be a strong warrior and was usually given the easiest tasks, such as helping the medicine-cat gather herbs or guarding the camps entrance. And then in leaf-bare Thunderclan suffered a harsh strike of whitecough. They lost two elders, a kit, and one warrior- and the warrior happened to be the strongest they had- their deputy, Sunclaw. The clans leader, Foxstar, came down with whitecough the day after Sunclaw's death. He thought over his choice of deputy long and hard, and he finally appointed Mossheart at moon-high. Everyone was shocked but congratulated him warmly. Mossheart carried out his duties proudly for the next few days. He had never been happier. But, as he was visiting Foxstar in his den, Foxstar told him. "I am about to loose my last life. I chose you to be deputy because you will lead Thunderclan through hard times easily. No other warrior could be so wise." And he died. Moss-star became leader, and ruled Thunderclan well.

Cloudheart
Description: Cloudheart is a long-haired white she-cat. Green eyes stare sharply from underneath the thick layer of fur that shields her from the snow in the winter. Her tail is long and her legs are wiry beneath the bundles of hair, hiding the sharply hooked claws that are normally sheathed in her paws as she rarely must engage in battle. She is a bulky she-cat.
Clan: Thunderclan
Rank: Medicine cat
Personality: Cloudheart is a good-natured she-cat who sees the good in each cat in her clan, no matter how bitter they may be. However, she trembles at the mention of cruel cats and quietly sneaks away whenever a battle is mentioned. She is the medicine-cat of Thunderclan, so she rarely must aid in fighting, but whenever she must, she fights as fiercely as any warrior. She is a reasonably good medicine-cat but is not well connected with Starclan. She loves attending gatherings, as she has many friends who live in the other clans.
Talents and Flaws: She is talented in battle, and although she can hunt, she avoids the task. She us very good at memorizing the uses of herbs. Although she is talented in many areas she cannot swim at all, or she would drown.
History: Cloudheart had always been a cat of Thunderclan, but when she was a kit she wished to be a warrior. During this time, her sister, whom she was very close to, was killed by a Windclan cat in battle. Then Cloudeart (Cloudkit at the time) requested to be a medicine-cat apprentice when she was apprenticed. The leader agreed an she became their medicine-cat apprentice. Her mentor was Muddyear. When her mentor died or Whitecough, she became the full medicine-cat and healed her clan with gentle paws. She is well-known throughout the clans to be one of the kindest cats to roam the forest, and if cats are troubled, they often seek her advice when they speak to her at gatherings.
