Ready for the web that is Elmshadow's life?
Elmshadow (linked in signature) was raised to be a strong and loyal warrior, always seeking his father's hard-earned approval. Through this regimed adolescent life, Elmshadow picked up the lack of true connection. Everything he does is a big-picture move. He works for the good of the clan, he finds his mates for the good of the clan, he disciplines for the good of the clan. This can come off manipulative and uncaring to some but, to Elmshadow, it is objectivity and reason, it is for the good of all that Shadowclan grows stronger.
Through his desperate fight for his father's approval, he has also grown a warped view of himself being his father's legacy and, thus, wants his own son to be the same. He believes she-cats can be strong but they will never measure up to the raw strength of a tom. She-cats serve an important role, but not the kind of role that can serve as a legacy of himself. However, in King Henry VIII style, Elmshadow's first (soon-to-be) three litters he has produced only daughters and so continues to venture elsewhere in search of a queen who can give him a son, unaware that he is truly the problem.
Enter
[ShC She-cat], aka Elmshadow's fourth "mate"(I use mate lightly as he only truly has one mate, the rest are flings). She will only be a fling. She can either fall for him or want nothing to do with him after their fling, she can keep the pregnancy a secret from him until he discovers her with kits and suspects or she can bring it to him and he demand that she keep it on the downlow, I'm open to most things here.
Low and behold, Starclan decides to
curse bless Elmshadow with a son in this litter. But he's recently hit a snag...He's found himself truly falling in love with his mate, Goldenstep. Though he's now faced with only daughters from Goldenstep (currently pregnant with their 2nd litter) and
[ShC She-cat] has a son for him. What will he do? The first inevitable step is to come clean about his infidelities to Goldenstep and take responsibility for his son. He will stay with Goldenstep (for as long as she'll have him) but will raise his son with
[ShC She-cat].
One more snag...In Elmshadow's philandering ways, he has acquired a lover scorned. Cougarivy is pining after Elmshadow and has been trying to have a son to win him over. So I make no promises that
[ShC She-cat]'s son will be safe from attempted infanticide via psycho murder child. Who knows if Cougarivy also extends her venom onto
[ShC She-cat] herself.
