Broken Shadow

Broken Shadow is a slender, orange tabby she-cat with white paws and amber eyes.

Dark River

 * In Dark River, Broken Shadow is not mentioned directly by name. She is first seen as a queen sadly watching her son, Fallen Leaves, enter the tunnels for his assessment with Rock to become a Sharpclaw. She tells him he must be careful, as he was her eldest and the first kit of hers to enter the tunnels and face the ordeal. Broken Shadow protests his leaving, saying that the skies look like it might rain and that she smells it on the wind. Fallen Leaves continues on stubbornly, not wanting to put off his becoming of a full sharpclaw any longer.

Long Shadows

 * In Long Shadows, she is shown to be almost insane with grief at the loss of her son Fallen Leaves, declaring that Jay's Wing was lucky to come out of the tunnels at all. Another queen, Rising Moon, tries to persuade her to lie down. Broken Shadow tells Rising Moon she doesn't understand, but allows Rising Moon to lead her away anyway. Broken Shadow is seen being groomed by the other she-cat gently like a mother with her kit. Stone Song is revealed to be her mate, and grieves just as much about his son, Fallen Leaves.


 * Later, when the decision was being made on whether or not to leave the lake, Broken Shadow is led to the clearing by Rising Moon and Chasing Clouds, being too dazed with grief to know where she was. When the cats started casting stones, she is the fifth cat to vote, and is led to circle by Stone Song and Dark Whiskers. She pads over to the 'leave' side when casting the stones, along with her mate, Stone Song; however, when it is confirmed they were leaving, she wails that she did not mean to leave, because she wants to stay with her deceased son. Rising Moon does her best to comfort Broken Shadow.


 * When Jay's Wing tells Stone Song about speaking with their ancestors, Stone Song comments that it would help Broken Shadow to know that Fallen Leaves could still be there and look after them.
