Wolfstar - ThunderClan Leader

[NORTHERNSKIES]

CHARACTER NAME: Wolfkit - Wolfpaw - Wolfstep - Wolfstar

GENDER: Female

AGE: 36 moons (three years)

ALLIANCE: ThunderClan

RANK: Leader

PERSONALITY: In front of her Clan, Wolfstar pretends to be the strong and bold leader that she knows ThunderClan needs at their head. To her Clanmates, she is strong and and unbreakable leader, who fears nothing and laughs in the face of danger. This, however, is nothing more than a remnant of what she was when she was but a young deputy. Pulling those walls down will reveal the true Wolfstar: a timid, jumpy she-cat who fears the dark and is afraid to get close to others. When she gets close to others, Wolfstar tends to get too clingy and obsessive. Because of this, she made a decision long ago to never get personally close to another cat again. Instead, she interacts with others in a sort of business-like manner.

If she would only realize that getting close to another cat isn't truly a bad thing, Wolfstar wouldn't have to pretend to be someone she's not. In reality, the attributes that she shows her Clanmates each and every day are a part of her. But at this point, they are long buried.

Her hatred for ShadowClan and what they did to her mate often clouds her judgement, and often-times Wolfstar blames the rival Clan for things that even she knows they did not do.

HISTORY: Wolfstar and her littermates were born in the heart of new-leaf, when the leaves were budding on the bare branches of the oaks and life was beginning to flourish once again. She was one of the five kits born to warriors Dreamtail and Risingfury, and one of the three she-kits in the litter. Because the females outnumbered the one male in the litter, Wolfstar and her sisters Icekit, Willowkit, and Boldkit often picked on their brother Brasskit. Their kithood flew by more quickly than the five wanted it to, despite the excitement that they felt as their apprentice ceremony drew nearer and nearer.

Just as her kithood had, Wolfstar found that her apprenticeship was flying by at as rapid a pace as well. She met a young tom named Stormpaw one afternoon, when their mentors decided to hold a dual training session to see how they were training each other's apprentice. Wolfstar and Stormpaw hit it off immediately. After that afternoon, the two of them were wherever the other went. It was whispered among the Clan how obvious it was that the two were going to become mates in the future, once they had received their warrior names and completed their training.

And mates they became. Only a short moon after receiving their names, Wolfstar and Stormsurge became mates, and soon after Wolfstar discovered that she was pregnant. At only fifteen moons old, Wolfstar was hardly the appropriate age to be a mother. Nonetheless, the Clan celebrated the coming of the kits. Why wouldn't they? New kits meant that there were new warriors in ThunderClan's future.

But then, just before the kits were born, Stormsurge was killed in a border skirmish with ShadowClan. Distraught and in mourning, only four of the large litter of seven kits survived. However, Wolfstar was too far into her mourning to look to the living, and sent her kits away to another mother to be suckled and raised. From that point on, Wolfstar did her best to forget her kittens, instead settling for remembering Stormsurge, and nursing her hatred for ShadowClan. She became deputy many months after the death of her beloved mate, and became leader soon after when their leader fell ill and retired to the elder's den.
