Description:
Ashstar is a smokey gray she-cat that looks black during the night. She looks much like her deceased father, Shadedstar, in that she is a dark gray color. During leafbare her coat is long and thick, which keeps her quite warm. In greenleaf, her fur becomes short and a little whispy, which keeps her cool. She thanks StarClan that her pelt is generous enough to change from long to short. Toward the back of her body she has a lighter gray color which really only shows during the night hours, in the reflection of the moonlight, since it isn‘t quite as bright as the sun, but gives off a good enough reflection. She has a couple of stripes that are silver around her face and tail. The insides of her ears are the same smokey gray color as her pelt. Her nose and pads are both a healthy pink color. Last but not least are her eyes. They are a brilliant seafoam greenish color just like her mother's were. Overall she is a very pretty she-cat who is almost the spitting image of her father.
Personality:
Ashstar may be a very young leader, but she is a kind and caring she-cat who would risk her life to save another cat. She grew up being the leader's kit, and knew from watching her father that it wasn't an easy job to have. She tends to be a bit stubborn and has issues with something if it doesn't go the way she planned. Ashstar is very brilliant, something that she doesn't show too often, but when she does watch out! Since she is young, she tends to lean on advice from her senior warriors quite often. She thinks it is hilarious that her brother, Frostwind, is so overprotective of her when she is the one always trying to protect him. Frostwind always saw her as one that needed protection, but she quickly proved him wrong. Some cats say that the brother/sister duo are like Yin and Yang. Not only do their pelts differ, but so does their personalities. Ashstar does have some self-doubt issues, in that she was the right cat to lead the clan, and is reminded constantly by her brother that she has the potential to be a great leader, just like their father.
History:
Ashstar was born into RockClan the youngest of two kits. Her mother, Silentstep, was a mute she-cat who had never spoken a word in her life. Silentstep was able to communicate by the use of her tail and drawings she created using her claws and dirt. Her father, Shadedstar, was the leader of the Clan and was a devote and proud Clan leader. When Frostkit and Ashkit were born, it was the greatest day for their parents, they were the first litter the mates had that survived. Ashkit had always been the smaller of the two, the one most likely to get sick. Frostkit would never leave her sight and kept encouraging her.
The day of their apprentice ceremony both kits were struck with a blow. Silentstep and the kits were inside the nursery, the queen licking each kit with pride. A dark figure crept into the nursery and killed Silentstep, leaving both kits speechless. Ashkit was full of rage and charged after the figure, only to be struck down and injured. Frostkit managed to drag his little sister out of the way and the dark figure went back into the darkness. Little Ashkit suffered from not only mental pain, from losing her mother, but also was wounded badly by whatever it was that had attacked them. The kits apprentice ceremony was delayed for a few days so that they could bury their mother. Ashkit stayed in the medicine cat's den for nearly a moon, recovering from the attack, but was able to say goodbye to her mother. Shadestar had carried the little kit out of the den for a few moments, but no more than that.
Ashkit watched her brother become Frostpaw, but was not quite strong enough to become an apprentice herself. One moon later she became Ashpaw, her wounds completely healed. She proved to be quite a pawful to her mentor and pushed herself so she could catch up with Frostpaw. Ashpaw was determined to not give up. She finally had caught up to her brother, something no cat thought she could accomplish, after all he had been a full moon ahead of her in training.
The two were made warriors together, after several long moons of training, becoming Frostwind and Ashwhisker. The two were overjoyed, and their father couldn't be more proud to name his children warriors. They were a powerful duo, Ashwhisker skilled at hunting, Frostwind skilled at battle.
Shortly after they were made warriors, Frostwind and Ashwhisker were given apprentices of their own. Just like they were trained together, the two trained their apprentices together, and to make things even better their apprentices were siblings aswell and liked training together. Their apprentices were made warriors after several moons of training, and once again the two were praised by their father. They had done excellent work.
Not too long after their apprentices became warriors, Frostwind became ill. Ashwhisker spent all the time she could being with her brother, like he was for her when she was hurt. The sickness soon spread throughout the camp, several dying from the illness including the deputy.
Shadedstar appointed Ashwhisker as his new deputy when she was nineteen moons old. It was an honor to be her father's deputy, but she also felt a little apprehensive about it, since she thought Frostwind deserved it, after all he was the older of the two. Frostwind assured her that he was fine with just being a warrior and that she was the best cat for the job, even if she was quite young.
Frostwind soon was over the sickness, but the siblings soon recieved something they never wanted to have. Their father, Shadestar, lost several lives to the sickness, and was killed leaving Ashwhisker to be in charge of the Clan.
And so Ashwhisker became Ashstar. The she-cat has led the Clan for almost half a moon now, and looks toward the help of her senior warriors when she is in doubt. Her brother also plays a big part in helping her. Some may consider her too young and incapable of being leader, but she has proven so far that she can handle it.
((Sorry it took so long to finish her. I wanted to get the history finished, though I left out about a thousand words so your eyes wouldn't hurt.))[/size]
