Name:Skystar
Age:42 moons
ClanThunderClan
Do they believe in StarClan?Yes
Strengths:
Clever--It's very hard to lie to this noble tom he can see right through them. It's best just to be honest otherwise he will catch you in the act.
Battlestron--Skystar will always put himself at the head of a battle. He will always risk his life first for the safety of his clan.
Good fighter--Skystars mentor always trained him to be a strong battler. He didn't let this go to his head thank goodness for he isn't power hungry.
weaknesses:
Lovestruck--Skystar falls in love to easily. He often falls in love with she-cats at the same time and has to fight with himself who to pick.
Terrible hunter--granted he can hunt, he's just not as good as some of the other cats in the clan. He tries to avoid hunting patrols altogether and instead hunt by himself.
Wreckless--Skystar will often pick a war or battle over thinking things through. Sometimes his head is in the wrong place.
Overall Personality:
Flirtatious-- Skystar can be a kind and gentle soul but if he finds a she-cat beautiful he won't be afraid to show he's interested. With his lovely words that float off his tongue he can normally sway someone towards his side in a heart beat. However, he knows where to cross the line. Very rarely does it go past that, however if it does he was interested from the start. he generally can't stay with one cat for too long because he loves to flirt.
Mischievous--Skystar is a coy young tom. He loves to start trouble without directly starting it. If he doesn't like you, he can be that warrior that starts the rumors. However, very rarely does he get caught. He is also a prankster and enjoys other people's misery with the jokes he pulls. His jokes are funny to her and others, except of course the one person he is prank on.H e also gets himself into unneeded battles
Short tempered--he is very short tempered. The slightest things will make him angry or somewhat agitated. The things that get him going the most is when cats straight up lie. He isn't dumb and has the intelligence of Starclan. He can pick you out in a crowd like a large mouse in a prey pile. The best advice would to not get on his nerves. Period.
Short description:A gray colored tom sea green eyes eyes.
Description:
Stature--Skystar is your average sized cat. Granted his legs add to most of his height. His tail is somewhat longer than average but it adds to his wonderful balance skill. His body is more muscular than most only because he continues to train on a daily basis He only trains regularly because he's afraid to lose his strength. Most of his muscle are in his front to legs because he uses them the most for fighting off others.
Pelt--There is nothing special about Skystars pelt. It's one color and that's a smooth slate gray. There are some pieces of fur that may be a white color but nothing that would be noticeable first glance. It may not be noticeable during a close examination either. His fur is short and always sleek. It would remind you of a RiverClan cat's fur.To the touch it's very soft and feather like. This could be because his father was from RiverClan and had the same type of fur according to rumors.
Eyes--Skystars eyes are spread evenly across his head. They are a rounded almond shape. The color is absolutely astounding as they are made up of multiple shades of blues and greens. They all swirl together to form a sea green color that's considered unique as you don't see it often on a cat.
Markings--All over Skystar's pelt are scars from many battles. Some battles could have been prevented, some he didn't have a choice. He has a large battle scar on his flank that was from a fox fight. This one stands out the most and often gets asked about the most.
Mother:Feathershine
Father:Cedarbreeze
Mate:deceased
Siblings:Sparrowfeather and cloudstripe
History:
Before he was born
Feathershine appeared to have it hard in her clan. She was born and raised and ThunderClan and was always told that the Warrior Code was law and must ALWAYS be followed. The she-cat knew that she would need to populate her clan but no tome struck her interest. Feathershine was a beautiful she-cat and many times toms tried to mate with her but she couldn't get attached. Something just wasn't right. The beautiful gray she-cat shrugged it off and decided to make Eaglescreech her mate. He was a power hungry tom that didn't have good intentions. At least Feathershine didn't think so.
The golden colored tom always asked if Feathershine was expecting kits. On a daily basis in fact. She would just shake her head and he would storm off angry. One night at a gathering Feathershine was conversing with a RiverClan tom named Cedarbreeze. He was a senior warrior and well respected. He spoke of how his mate had recently died in a raid in ShadowCLan. Feathershine gave her condolesences and apologized for his loss.
Feathershine realized that Cedarbreeze may have been the one for her. The tom was noble and she hated the fact that he wasn't in her clan. She remembered her mother and father saying that obeying the code was law and you would be damned from StarClan if you broke it. However was this really the case? And could you really stop love."Cedarbreeze I'll always be around for you if you just want to talk...." The gathering ended and he whispered something in her ear. Her whiskers twitched and she gave a curt nod.
For moons the two met at the boarders. Granted they had to cross into WindClan once or twice to do so. The gathering island was a free territory so no one questioned it when Feathershine crossed boarders to go to the island. It was one night that the two weren't expecting. They both admitted there love for each other. That's when Feathershine announced she was having kits.
A couple moons later the pregnant she-cat was near the lake. She was basking in the sun when Eaglescreech padded over."About time..." He looked at her swollen belly power hungry. Perhaps one would be strong and be the leader of ThunderClan.
"They aren't yours so don't even think of it. However, if it makes you feel better you can keep pretending!" She mewed angirly. That's when she stormed off towards the island."I'm going for a walk..." She hissed. She left Eaglescreech behind and for once, the tom looked devastated.
The she-cat let out a terrible screech. She had birthed one kit so far. It was a she-cat who she named Sparrowkit. Cearbreeze had taken her already and had given her to a nursing queen. That was the agreement. Any she-cats born would be given to RiverClan. Blood was every where. It was long before Eaglescreech and Nightstar found Feathershine. They did their best to help her birth.
Cedarbreeze appeared with Blackwillow their medicine cat at the time."We scented blood and offered to help!" Cedarbreeze lied. He looked at his mate and knew she wouldn't make it...twice he would have tried to love and instead he would lose his mate a second time. He looked at Blackwillow who was using herbs to help.
Nightstar was greatful. The tom pressed his paws on her stomach helping her to push. Within moments two tom cats were born. A gray tom and a white and gray tom. The pure gray tom she named Skykit. The other Cloudkit. Cedarbreeze gave a curt nod in agreement. He bent down and whispered something in her ear. Feathershines ears twitched and she looked at him with loving eyes before her eyes clouded over and she convulsed. She was hunting with StarClan.
Kithood: Skykit was a quick learning tom. His personality began to develop and he was turning into a fine kit. Just as Feathershine had told him to do, Eaglescreech went on pretending that he was the father of both Cloudkit and Skykit. He went to the nursery everyday to play with him. Skykit was grateful for at least having a father. When ever he asked about his mother Eaglescreech would just say she was a noble warrior and died providing her clan.
Skykit was always getting into trouble, sneaking into the warriors den or even messing up Brookwhispers herb stash. He thought it was fun and often got punished for each time. Eaglescreech would say he was just a kit and Nightstar would respond by telling him to watch him better. Skykit didn't realize he was getting his dad into trouble and continued to be mischevious causing havoc in the clan.
As Skykit got closer to apprentice hood a huge even happened that he could never forget. Rain was falling down and large puddles were forming in the camp. In the camps center was a body covered in claw marks.Nightstar was dead. Rowanstorm who was ThunderClan's deputy looked up shocked. Who would have killed Nightstar? Every warrior knew that he was on his last life and had been so for awhile
Skykit eyes widened with fear. Soon his father stepped in front of him and looked down on him."Fear is a weakness young Skykit. Don't show it or your enemies will kill you." Eaglescreech dipped his head before padding to the center of the camp. Whoever killed Nightstar was in ThunderClan.
Rowanstorm let out a loud yowl and everyone gathered whether they could catch prey or not.He said some fancy words and before everyone knew Crimsonfire was the new deputy of ThunderClan. The tom was dark and something bothered Eaglescreech and Skykit about it.
The death of Nightstar still lingered around camp. It had been for a moon or so. Rowanstar had his first gathering as a leader and it was almost refreshing. However today was a day for good news and good news only. Skykit and Cloudkit reached their 6th moon Both were apprenticed. Skykits mentor was Snakevenom and Cloudkits mentor was Crimsonfire. Perhaps Cloudkit now Cloudpaw would learn about his dark sercrets...Everyone suspected that Crimsonfire had killed Nightstar. Everyone, except his brother Rowanstar.
Apprentice hood:
Skypaw cheered for his brother. The next gathering would be soon and he wondered if they would be chosen to go. He knew that there were other and older apprentices like Shadowpaw and Flowerpaw who had yet to be chosen. They two kept getting high hopes and before they both knew it, the gathering night was here. Cloudpaw and Skypaw had both completed a moon in training. Skypaw was becomming more muscular and strong while Cloudpaw was becomming more lithe and brave.
"Shadowpaw,Skypaw,Flowerpaw,Eaglescreech,Crimsonfire Brookwhisper,Honeybee, you will be going to the gathering tonight." Skypaw looked at his brother with apologetic eyes. Cloudpaw twitched his whiskers with amusement. He didn't seem to mind. Skypaw just nodded before bounding off.
"Shadowpaw whats the gathering like....? How many cats would be there? Do they know we are coming? Skypaw's voice was squeaky and still kit like. He could tell he was annoying the older Shadowpaw and flowerpaw. The two ignored him and just continued on there way.
When Skypaw saw the cats at the gathering his eyes widend. Cats of all clans were there. He saw them all. He started to be afraid but remembered his fathers words. He didn't want to die! He ran down and was the first to to greet cats. He sat down next to a brown and gray tom from RiverClan. His own whiskers twitched with amusement as he looked at him."HI! I'm Skypaw from ThunderClan, this is my first gathering!"
Cedarbreeze looked at the gray tom and just scoffed. He twitched his whiskers and rolled his eyes. However he looked at his sea green eyes and almost gasped. It had been over 6 moons since he had seen his sons. He tilted his head to the side and just looked at him. He looked just like Feathershine...Could it be?"Cedarbreeze, I was good friends with Feathershine, I'm sorry you didn't get to know her."
Skypaw pulled his ears back."I am too...I heard she was loved by cats from all clans." Skypaw flicked his ears. Why did Cedarbreeze look at him like that? Did he have mouse fur around his muzzle. He examined his coat for a little while before the leaders called the starting of the gathering.
Before he knew it the gathering was over. As he was heading back to meet with his clan the fur on the back of his neck began to rise. He turned around and saw Cedarbreeze staring it him. He let himself shudder before shaking it off and walking back towards camp.
Shadowpaw padde up to him and shoved him playfully."Lucky cat, Cedarbreeze is the deputy of RiverClan and he talked to you, that's a good sign. Flowerpaw couldn't even get a ShadowClan apprentice to talk to her." He joked looking at the tortoishell apprentice.
Skypaw just laughed nervously before padding back with his clan mates. He poked his head into the apprentices den where Cloudpaw was sleeping. Did he have battle wounds? Skypaw saw a gash across Cloudpaws flank. He shook it off and curled up next to his brother. He would tell him about the gathering tomorrow.
The tom woke up the next morning and Cloudpaw was gone. He must have started training. Skypaw looked over and so Shadowpaw sharing tongues with Flowerpaw and he started to wonder if the two were mates. He blinked back the light and heard a mroow of laughter from the two.
"Snakevenom was calling for you. You and I are going to fight toady."Shadowpaw mewed. He stood up licking the tortoiseshell between the ears and shook the moss pieces from his fur. He shouldered his way out of the den and knew that Skypaw would shortly follow.
The gray tom nervously stood up and followed. He knew better than to go against Snakevenom. He padded out of the camp and soon found Shadowpaw circling anxiously. He would need to prove to Honeybee that she had been doing a good job mentoring him.
Skypaw looked at his mentor and gasped nervously. He seriously had to fight him. He sheathed his claws and stood in the circle nervously. There was a large hiss and Shadowpaw leaped at him. Skypaw dodged and the two toms hustled and hissed. Balls of fur went flying and snakevenom just nodded. He liked what he was seeing from his apprentice.
He let the two toms continue to go at each other. As he was about to screech a stop, Rowanstar ran forward, blood forming in wounds."ShadowClan is attacking!"
Skypaw and Shadowpaw stopped play fighting and sprinted towards camp. Snakevenom moved more slowly but ran. A wide grin formed on his muzzle. Crimsomfire was right. ShadowClan would attack.
When Skypaw and Shadowpaw got to camp the scent of blood was everywhere. Shadowpaw ran into the apprentices den. No Flowerpaw?
Skypaw spotted the tortoishell imediately. The she-cat was on the ground a pool of blood around her body."Shadowpaw!"
The dark tom saw Skypaw and ran over. He saw Flowerpaw and let out growl. He nosed her flank. Whoever did this to her would pay. He would pay his respects later he had a clan to defend.
Skypaw and Shadowpaw fought side by side. This was when they became close friends together they fought off Shadowclan. Snakevenom looked at Skypaw, then too Honeybee. Both of them fought like warriors....
Warrior Hood
The clearing cleared and those that were alive and well helped clear things out. Brookwhisper helped heal and mend wounds while moving the bodies to the center of the clearing. Skypaw saw Cloudpaw. Had he been hiding? He could scent Cloudpaw's fear scent.
Rowanstar climbed to the top of a rock.He spoke a few words before Shadowpaw and Skypaw came forward. They received the names Skyhawk and Shadowfrost. Rowanstar gave the name Flowertail to the deceased she-cat so she would go to StarClan a warrior. Cloudpaw didn't become a warrior however. Cloudpaw had been hiding in the nursery.
After their silent vigil Shadowfrost and Skyhawk were inseperable. Both trained late at night to keep themselves strong. However something dark seemed to be looming in ThunderClan. Something that didn't seem right to Skyhawk. The gray tom and Shadowfrost walked back to camp that night, and both of them agreed something wasn't right.
Rowanstar looked at Skyhawk and Shadowfrost and dipped his head."Swiftkit and Rosekit are almost ready to be apprenticed. I was thinking you too would be the best choices for them/" Skyhawk and Shadowfrost were glad that Rowanstar had picked them. They both nodded eagerily.
A few dawns later Rowanstar held a ceremony. Swiftkit and Rosekit were apprenticed and Skyhawks brother finally became Cloudstripe. Skyhawk took his apprentice out imediately for training. However, he noticed Crimsonfire following close. He knew something was bad about ThunderClan's deputy. With that he took Swiftpaw to the cliffs. For some reason He got this feeling that Crimsonfire wanted him and Shadowfrost dead.
Crimsonfire got his wish. Shadowfrost had been training Rosepaw. The scent of cat blood flooded the territory as if a cat was trying to lead the foxes towards Camp. Shadowfrost managed to defend off the one that got lured and was killed. When Rowanstar announced it Crimsonfire had this look on his face. It was disturbing and unreal.
The next day Rosepaw was reapprenticed and Skyhawk took both of them out training since Cloudestripe had a bout with whitecough. They were close enough to the cliffs that it was almost dangerous. Crimsonfire was nearby he could feel it. The tom was teaching Rosepaw and Swiftpaw to hunt. He chased a squirrel towards the cliff and dove off attempting to fake his own death, except it was nearly successful.
Skyhawks body landed with a thud. A two-leg found him and brought him back to health. As Skyhawk got better he started to train himself since he didn't want his muscles to weaken. Soon he was well enough to go back to camp. However, it had been 6 moons, and little did he know, Crimsonfire....was no Crimsonstar.
He wasn't welcomed back at first, but the moment he did Crimsonstar and himself got into a fight. A verbal one. Skyhawk claimed Rowanstar wished that he hadn't picked Crimsonfire."You killed him...you killed Rowanstar...you killed Shadowfrost...you killed....you killed them all trying to get to the top." That sent Crimsonstar over the edge. However Skyhawk easily took him down.
When he got back Brookwhisper was no longer around as well. Skyhawk knew the she-cat was old but perhaps Crimsonstar killed her too? Frostbite was now the medicine cat of ThunderClan. A cat that Skyhawk wasn't particularly fond of. Skyhawk trained Swiftpaw one last time before he became a warrior. Swiftheart.
There was another Verbal confrontation between he and Crimsonstar. He asked about Brookwhisper, and even his own mother. However, it wasn't possible since Crimsonpaw was an apprentice around the time his mother died. That made him attack Skyhawk once more. Skyhawk chased him out of the camp."You have been exhiled.....DON'T COME BACK!"
Leader hood:
Skystar didn't have a chance to be a deputy. The night that Crimsonstar ran away from ThunderClan a large hawk fell over the camp letting out a noble screech. That's when the medicine cat Frostbite told everyone that Skyhawk was to be the next leader of ThunderClan.
The tom picked Tigerflight as his deputy. His best friend since the deceased Shadowfrost and Flowerstorm. He almost picked Cloudstripe but knew he couldn't not yet. His leadership was a quiet one no one heard or saw Crimsonstar. However he soon learned that his secret mate Frostbite was to have kits.
Nervous he shook his head. They would get through it right? That night she gave birth to four healthy kits who they both agreed would be named Brookkit,Snowkit,Patchkit and Stormkit. Frostbite gave up to her kits to a nursing queen Snowberry who raised them as there own.
His kits grew up quickly. It was still quiet. No battles, just a torn secret. One day Fernpaw ran into camp claiming to have found Tigerflights body. She explained to Skystar that the two loved each other and had explored an abandoned two legs nest. Skystar saw the mangled body of his best friend. Eyes widned with fear he sniffed the body. Crimsonstar had killed him.
With a mighty growl he dismissed the patrol and went back to camp where he made the announcement. Stormwind was the first to express sympathy. That's when Skystar made the announcement and made Stormwind his deputy. Cloudestripe seemed to be hurt that he wasn't picked. However Skystar told him what was happening to the deputies of ThunderClan and for once CLoudstripe was grateful that his brother was looking out for him.
All was quiet for a long time once more. A queen gave birth to a single kit. The mother was older and this would certainly be her last. She gave birth to a wonderful kit named Fogkit. She seemed bubbly and Skystar decided that at apprentice hood he would mentor her. It wasn't long before she was 6 moons old.
Skystar held the ceremony and made Fogkit Fogpaw. He started to train her all the time. He grew fond of the she-cat and knew he would have to be careful. He always talked about how special she was and that she would be a noble warrior one day. He would always lick her between the ears after a long day of training. He realized soon that he was getting feelings for his own apprentice.
Shortly after was another gathering. He announced the death of Tigerflight and warned the clans to look out. However there was a large screech and Frostbite went down to the ground. Skystars eyes widend as her body convulsed and two kits were born. His other kits were currently apprentices. They were all here and looking at Frostbite.
Jaykit and Whitekit were born. The two were healthy kits. That's where Skystar admitted to his kits that Frostbite was really their mother. The kits were devastated and honestly hated Skystar for it. He bit his maw nervously. What if Crimsonstar saw this...what if now would be the perfect time to attack?
Frostbite didn't make it. The she-cat passed and went to StarClan. He knew he would have to give his kits to a nursing queen and thought of a queen who had recently given birth to kits. However, Skystar wouldn't make the same mistake he would tell these two the truth.
It was a cold leaf bare day. The leaves had fallen from the trees and the first snow fell shortly after the gathering. Fogpaw was now a noble warrior named Fogheart. The two hadn't spoken much. The day his kits were born was the day after her warrior ceremony. He knew that he upset her...maybe not...maybe she didn't have feelings for him too.
Jaykit and Whitekit were reaching their 6th moon. His other kits were reaching warrior age. He did the ceremony at the same time. To make it up to Fogheart, he chose her to mentor his son Whitekit. Jaykit went to Skystars adoptive father Eaglescreech. He knew that this would be his last apprentice. He gave his kits warrior names. Brookripple, Stormfire,Patchfeather amd Snowfox.
As leaf bare went on clan life went on as normal. Many lives had been lost, many gained. "Fogheart will you go on a patrol with me please?" Skystar looked at the she-cat with soft eyes. Since Frostbite was gone he had been alone. His kits that were warriors still hadn't forgiven him, Jaypaw and Whitepaw were too busy training he had no one.
The she-cat seemed reluctant but agreed to patrol. The two went into the heart of the territory. "I know I hurt you Fogheart...I know I did, and I am so sorry....I was mates with Frostbite and I didn't know what to do, you were the best apprentice I saw so much in you and..." He heard a loud screech. Blood filled his nostrils. He flicked his tail and bounded off.
In the snow was a deep pool of blood. Crimsonstar and Stormwind had got into a fight. Stormwinds flank was still rising and falling, however Crimsonstar's was not."For the Clan Skystar... I wanted to protect the clan." Stormwind stopped breathing. His friend...his deputy. How many deputies would Skystar go through? He rested his head on his friends flank and let out a whimper. Why did this always happen to him?
He didn't care how Fogheart saw him. He wasn't weak. He had lost so much sometimes a leader got the chance to break down right? That night he brought Stormwinds body back so those could have a silent vigil. However before that he held a ceremony."In the eyes of Stormwinds soul and spirit the time to pick the new deputy is now, Fogheart will be the new deputy of ThunderClan.
He knew the she-cat was young, but she diserved it. This was also him apologizing. or finishing the apology he had started. "I really care about you Fogheart." He whispered; before padding off with his tail dragging on the ground and heading into his den.
