The cat's appearance; 50 words minimum.
Nightshade is an attractive young she-cat who sports an athletic build which mirrors that of her birth mother, a GladeClan she-cat by the name of Nettleshade. Unknown to her, she may actually bear the closest resemblance to her mother, at least in body type. However, when it comes to pelt, or lack thereof, it is impossible to hide the other half of her parentage, as she is the daughter of the famous furless kitty pet, Mr. Nakey, and shares her father's lack of fur. Her eyes are a very pale green, seeming to have retained a tiny bit of their kitten blue even after she aged out of kitten hood. Often, she is seen wearing a necklace of cord and blue stone; a gift from her close friend and companion Koi.

Personality:
{Spoiled, Romantic}
Nightshade wants with all of her heart to be a prim and proper lady, just like the princesses she has seen in Susan's Lightbox. And she really does try to accomplish this goal. In practice, unfortunately she falls a little bit short. Or perhaps a lot short. In her attempts to emulate the elegance and propriety that she has decided she must find, she has also become very stuck up and spoiled, always quick to tattle on her siblings if they so much as set a claw out of line, or bother her in any way. She is also a hopeless romantic and a bit of a daydreamer, often looking off wistfully into the distance. Part of this is obviously an act as she is still trying to look the part of the delicate princess. Unfortunately, this has also come with the side effect of her being very accident prone, and getting herself into unnecessary danger because she was not watching where she put her paws.

History:
From the time Nightshade was a newborn kitten, her life has been a grand adventure, even though she has been mostly unaware of it all. She and her sisters were tborn as the product of a one night stand between the GladeClan warrior Nettlethroat and the local kitty pet Mr. Nakey. If her strange heritage were not enough, Nightshade also had to deal with the loss of her birth mother at the tender age of only a few hours old. She and her siblings came very early, and their mother was already quite weak due to illness, as well as making a journey to the home of their father, Mr. Nakey. Nightshade made the ultimate sacrifice for her kits, as she believed they would be better off in the paws of Mr. Nakey's friend and housemate, Swiftleap. Although she had no milk to give them, Swiftleap reluctantly took on the role of mother and caretaker to the kittens, while the twoleg Susan took care of giving them formula.
Although Swiftleap was never anything but loving towards her charges, there often seemed to be some tension between her and Mr. Nakey, and she never seemed to be totally at ease living in Susan's home. As soon as the kittens were old enough that they did not need her with them all of the time, Swiftleap began spending more of her time outside of the house, hunting for mice and chatting with the other outdoor cats that Susan looked after, such as Panther. Nightshade did not mind this too much, though she found it hard to imagine how her foster mother could ever prefer the outdoors to the cozy life they had inside.
All of this would come to a climax when Nightshade woke up to find a bunch of strange two legs in her home. Susan was gathering up all of her things, and herding all of the cats into carriers. She kept saying things like 'new home' and 'time to move on'. Nightshade could not understand it. What was worse, it seemed that not all of her family was going to make the trip. Although her father and sisters, including her adoptive older sister, Opossum, were easily herded into boxes, the same could not be said for Swiftleap, Panther, or any of the others who refused to call themselves pets. Swiftleap refused to get into a carrier, but Mr. Nakey refused to leave Susan. Their family was being torn apart. Nightshade was taken to this 'new home', though she made it clear that she was not happy. The new house was nice, but she missed Swiftleap and Panther. She missed her best friend and auntie, Koi. She even missed the grouchy old man who sometimes ate from their trash.
