The shadow
Every sun has a shadow, and every shadow has a source of light; the sun shines brightly with every action and every word, and the shadow follows her without complaint. An inseparable duo, you do not see one without the other. But what happens when the sun disappears, and the shadow is left without his guide? Lost and alone, he seeks to navigate a dark world.

Gingerfrost is a tom who's bad traits show first, mainly, laziness. It's honestly all one sees when only looking at him: a lazy and careless young tom who doesn't do anything. And while some of that may be true, it's far from all that is to him. He's Gingerfrost. He cares a lot more than even he knows, and is far more intelligent than meets the eye - which also leads him to being a decent tactician in battle. Although he probably spend about half his apprenticeship just laying on the ground and sleeping, he picked up on things fairly quickly, and still does. His favourite activity remains a nice rest though, even if he may sometimes enjoy a good spar... But only he get's to know that. That being said, there are even reports of some people calling him caring.
Born to Remi [father] and Honeybee [mother], he had one littermate: Goldenkit [sister]. Salsomsong is his older half-sister through Honeybee.
He is the nephew of Sidney [uncle] and Dagger [aunt] through Remi and half-nephew to Scooter [uncle] through Lulu.
He is also the nephew of Lobsterbreathe/Redpaw [uncle] and Applepounce [aunt], and their younger siblings Skykit [stillborn aunt], Ospreykit [aunt], Gingerkit [uncle], Lightningkit [uncle] and Oceankit [aunt] through Honeybee.
He is the grandson of Lulu [grandmother] and Finch [grandpa] through Remi, and Lynxsky [grandmother] and Goldenstep [grandfather] through Honeybee.
He is the uncle of Drizzelpaw [niece], Otterpaw, Waterkit, Crabkit, Brookpaw, Frostpaw [adoptive] and Shellkit [stillborn] through Salmonsong and unknown fathers. They are all missing.
He was adopted by Flyfur [mother] at three to four moons old, giving him many many adoptive siblings - too many to name. Through Flyfur, he is the older adoptive brother of Palehound [sister].
He is the adoptive father of Mumblepaw [child] and Otterkit [son]; he had no choice in either situation, but loves them all the same. He is the duncle (dad/uncle to Birdpaw.
He is the former mentor of Shellpaw, Emberflame, Drizzelpaw, Duckpaw, Littlestream, Falconpaw, Cicadapaw, Shorepaw, Birdpaw and Snowpaw.
-> Good day for a swell battle.
-> A family reunion.
-> Words hidden by an unspoken grief.
-> Diving into warriorhood with a splash.
-> It's been a long day without you my friend...
-> Won't you stay a minute more?
-> Hold on, hold on.
-> If one thing can see this through may that be you.
-> I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
-> Breathe new life.
-> Death.
-> He was started at five moons: link.
-> His warrior attributes were intelligence and skills as a tactician.
-> No one knows he's half-clan / he's believed to be fullblooded RiverClan.
-> He was apprenticed April 14th 2022 at six moons: link.
-> He ranked first in a small battle tournament with only hunting under his belt. His sister, Berrypaw at the time, let him win their decisive match: link.
-> The first piece of prey he caught was a blackbird after being told they could go home only if he caught something: link.
-> His mentor taught him a valuable lesson on respect: to give it to anyone, not because of age or rank, but because that's what they deserve.
-> He had somehow become one of the more advanced apprentices.
-> He aided in Splashleap's assessment by battling her in Firehawk's stead. Despite him wanting to be assessed by his mentor, it ultimately counted for his assessment too.
-> He was made a warrior August 22nd 2022 at Twelve moons, shortly after his mentor's disappearance and supposed death. He decided to keep going for his deceased sister: link.
-> He never had an official fishing lesson (that he can remember), nor did he do the hunting portion of his assessment.
-> He hadn't become a warrior earlier more because of his age than skill: he believed he could've easily passed his assessment at nine moons, but the minimum age at the time was twelve.
-> He prefers full-body evasions over blocking an attack.
-> With the aid of Flyfur, Gingerfrost managed to keep his mother and sister's old nest unoccupied until Flyfur's disappearance. He then tried to keep both nests free, but duties and going missing came in the way.
-> He had been caught by twolegs who affectionately named him Garfield; it took him moons of searching before finding his way back, as he had been taken to a different twoleg place.
-> Certified thunderpath crosser: he had to cross many in his time away.
-> Swimming is not his favourite activity due to how long it takes for his fur to dry.
-> He barely knows all of his adoptive siblings, he was too anti-social and there were simply too many.
-> He never spoke much, which became problematic as his mentor was blind. To amend that, he started making a little sound, 'hm', whenever he nodded to show he understood. He still does it to this day.
-> He knew about Skystar's power as he was there when he discovered it.
-> He's familiar with the twoleg place due to a few secret trips there to visit his father.
-> He lost both his lives to a heart attack, like his sister, having developed HCM.
