Personality|| Ghostzephyr was always the dominant sibling, always responsible, protecting his sister and brother. He dedicated his life to his birth clan longing to be deputy not for the power itself, but because he knew he could be a good deputy, the best. He's confident but humble.
He is very loyal and very caring, but he struggles to talk about his problems with others. Only those who he is very close to, like his brother Drift, can he really let down his guard.
Ghost loved his sister. He loved his brother, but everyone knew he would always side with his sister. She was special to him, and after their father disowned them to live in another clan, Ghost became the father figure of the three, as if he was an older brother rather than the same litter. After she was killed, Ghost struggled to come to terms. He and Drift both took parts of her name to honor her, so that she would never be forgotten. but for Ghost, this wasn't enough.
His sister often visits him. In his dreams, sitting across camp or the stream, but she never speaks. He can't tell whether she is there to try and comfort him or because she is haunting him for letting this happen to her.
Ghost is calm and soft spoken. He's not afraid to speak up when he feels he needs to. He's perfectly capable of taking charge but often prefers to let others take over and to just follow along. His supportive nature makes him a natural choice for apprentices who aren't as confident in their abilities.
Driftbreeze|| Ghostzephyr is very close to his brother, especially after the death of their sister. He sometimes confides in Drift, but he struggles to open up to others. He respects his brother and the clan he formed and will do what he can to support him. Ghost is sometimes envious of his brother for being the successor of their clan after all that happened, but he also believes there must be something else planned for him.
Lightsong|| Ghost is both intrigued by the seer and terrified she might find out he sees his sister's spirit, so until the clan gets to know her, he doesn't say much to her. After she binds him up a few times and he learns how she communicates to the spirits, (and after Winter tells him in the same day she really liked him but couldn't move forward in a relationship with him and he realizes he's been super distant for a while) he eventually confides in her that he sometimes sees the spirit of his sister, not just in his dreams but while awake. They bond over this, but Ghost is still very skittish when it comes to commitment and confused about what seeing his sister means.
Wraith|| Ghost respects the dark Second, but he doesn't understand why the tom sticks around. He knows Drift made some agreement with him, but he still expects Wraith to dishonor it at some point. Ghost would like to be second in command, but would never do anything about it. He secretly finds Wraith very attractive.

History|| He was born with two other siblings, Drift and Zephyr. He was the largest of the three, and immediately knew it was his job to protect his siblings. When Drift started to go deaf, he defended his brother, but he soon realized he couldn't fight all of their battles for them. They needed to grow. So he eventually became more of a support. He didn't come to them to fix things, but the moment his brother or sister asked him for help, no matter what it was, he was there. He would rather be with them doing something stupid than have them go alone.
Their clan leader, Galestar, took Ghostpaw as her apprentice. He was greatly honored by this, especially because Galestar couldn't have kits of her own and rarely took apprentices. But it was clear she saw something in him. He was a faster learner. Anything he could use to help protect his siblings, especially his sister, he drank in. It was at this point he decided he wanted to become deputy. Everyone knew Galestar had only a few lives left. If the leadership passed to the deputy Icetail, then there would need to be a new deputy. But Icetail didn't want to wait.
Ghostshadow was given his warrior name for his vigilance and stealth, but also his dedication to support the clan without the need to call attention to himself. He wholly supports the idea that actions speak louder than words. Partly, he believes this is because of his brother.
Driftsky talked often of leaving the clan to explore and Ghost longed to go with him, but in this moment, he was conflicted. Zephyrbreeze didn't wish to leave the clan. She had her heart set on one of the other warriors and she didn't share the wanderlust that consumed her brothers' thoughts. And because he was forced to choose, he decided to stay with Zephyr. Drift spent a lot of time beyond the orders of the clan, but never left for good, getting the clan in trouble with their neighbors and other animals nearby. Finally, while the three were on patrol together, they encountered an injured loner who sought shelter for a small kit he was carrying. Ghost was struck by how the loner didn't seem to care about himself, just this unknown kit who he said wasn't even his. Zephyr brought the kit back to camp while Ghost and Drift tried to reason with the loner to stay, that they could help him heal. But he refused, seeking to continue traveling. And Drift left with him.
The black bengal tom hated his brother in that moment for leaving him to explain to Zephyr what happened to him. But they both knew the cream tom would leave them eventually. That he had stayed for so long was a mystery and it was even more amazing that he had said goodbye to at least one of them.
...
Now, having finally moved on from the death of his sister, with nothing else tying him to these cats, not a clan, and not the forest he had grown up in...Ghost left. He traveled a lone for a time, seeking his brother Drift and the clan that had moved on. He finally caught up to them in their mountain home. Ghost is trying to figure out what has lead Drift to stop here, but his brother is being dodgy.
