[CHAR] Creeping Shadows: Warrior Cats

[StarfrostedFox]

Name: Robinstar
Gender: Female
Rank: Leader
Appearance: Rather tall for a cat, she is built lean and lithe, with a narrow face and a long tail. She is primarily a pale silvery white in color with thin light grey stripes across her back, neck, tail, lower forelegs, and three stripes each on either cheek and forehead. The backs of her sharply pointed ears and the end of her tail are a solid, Slightly darker grey. Her eyes are a piercing clear blue.
Brief Background: When she was an apprentice, Robinstar had never had high ambitions for herself or her future, simply desiring to be a strong warrior and an asset to her clan. She had passing thoughts of one day perhaps becoming a mentor or mother, but could never picture herself in a leader ship position. So it certainly surprised her win, after her father Ashpelt retired to the life of an elder after being the deputy for many years, the then leader of CragClan, Molestar, approached her with the request that she become the next deputy. She didn’t think she was good enough for the position, actually bringing this up to her leader. She remembers vividly the look of amusement that had crossed his face and the words he spoke to her. “Your worthiness lies in the strength of your heart Robinwind. You simply can’t see that because it is hidden within your chest. But I have seen your heart in your eyes.” After spending a sleepless night pondering over his statement, Robinstar accepted the position gratefully, resolved to continue to serve her clan through the strength of her love and commitment for them.

She hadn’t expected that the experience of being deputy would be so brief lived. Not a moon and a half had gone by before trouble rose within the territory, a badger attempting to make it self at home near the river. Molestar himself headed the patrol that would attempt to drive the intruder out, fighting fiercely when the badger went after one of the younger warriors. Intercepting the attack that had been meant for the other cat, Molestar managed to scratch out one of the badger‘s eyes, Even as his own body was being crushed in its jaws. As the badger retreated, the patrol was shocked to realize that their leader had given up his last life to protect one of his warriors.

As leader of CragClan today, Robinstar keeps the memory of Molestar Close to her heart, using his example of selfless love to guide and direct the cats she has promised to protect.

Name: Eagleleap
Gender: Female
Rank: Warrior
Appearance: She is rather long and wiry, with a narrow angular face, slanted eyes, and tall pointed ears. Her fur is primarily black in color and is rather short, but is very soft to the touch. Across her back, partially up her neck, and halfway down her tail the dark coloring is interrupted by a marbled silver pattern that is brightest in the center and fades out along the edges. Her nose and pads are both pale pink. Her eyes are a much more noticeable feature, contrasting against her dark pelt as a rather vivid hunter green in color.
Brief Background: Eagleleap was born and raised in GrassClan in a litter of three. Even from a young age, she knew she wanted to be a warrior, wanted to do everything she could to help her clan.

As an apprentice, she met and gradually fell in love with Pinepaw, Who would later be given the name Pinefrost and become her mate. The big grey tabby quickly became her safe place in the world, her strength and support. It didn't take them long to decide to have their own kits.

A week after her and Pinefrost's kits were born, an unexpected bout of greencough struck the clan. And even though they took precautions, Eagleleap was alarmed when her mate developed worrisome symptoms, the stubborn Tom putting it up to exhaustion and brushed it aside until even he couldn't deny that he was ill. Not wanting to further risk getting his little family sick, he took himself to the medicine cat's den.

Unfortunately, it hadn't been soon enough.
With sorrow heavy in her heart, the she cat watched as her newborn kits started to refuse milk, coughing wracking their tiny bodies. And although the medicine cats did all they could, her kits were too little...

And if that wasn't enough that any one Kat could take, painful news came to her later that evening that Pinefrost had also lost the battle with his own illness. Family gone, Eagleleap sank into a numbing sorrow that withdrew her from everyone for a time, refusing to speak, to eat.

When she finally started to come back to herself, going about daily routines, Eagleleap started to notice that the other cats were looking at her differently. She couldn't ignore the looks of sympathy, of pity, combined with hushed voices and whispers, and it slowly started to eat away at her. She didn't know how she would be expected to let her sorrow heal with the constant reminder that she had to live with each day. As a full moon gathering approached, she was desperate for an escape and did the only thing that she could think of to save herself. She approached one of the other clan leaders and pleaded to be allowed to join their clan.

Shock and out rage were the initial reactions from the leaders, nothing of the sort had ever been done among the clans, except for Robinstar, whom Eagleleap had made the request of. The clan leader was surprised, but not angry. After coaxing The entirety of the story out of the she cat, the CragClan leader held counsel with the other leaders. After the passing of a quarter moon, they reached the unusual decision to grant Eagleleap’s request and she left her past behind her without a backward glance, embracing the change of entering into CragClan, hoping her new family will learn to except her one day.

Name: Birchwhisker
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Appearance: He is a very large cat, with a thick build, broad head, and ample amounts of fur to cover it all. His base color is a deep chocolate brown that is then mottled and blended with black on the top of his head, his cheeks, neck, back, flanks, and tail. Along the backs of each of his legs, the fur is solidly black, looking almost as if each of his legs have been pulled through very dark mud. With black whiskers, nose, and pads, the only light colored part of his appearance are his eyes, which are a bright amber.
Brief Background: He’s enjoyed a relatively average life overall, living faithful to his clan, protecting their territory, and trying not to let himself come off as overly grumpy. He occasionally succeeds on the latter. The one truly extraordinary event that he feels is noteworthy in his life is the fact that the former clan leader, Molestar, saved him from going to StarClan. He had barely been a Warrior for a season when a badger attempted to move into CragClan Territory, but was still asked to be part of the group that would attempt to drive the intruder off. As the cats fought and evaded, he was shocked when the badger quite abruptly whirled on him, knocking him prone with a blunt paw and diving in for the attack. He was even more surprised when Molestar was suddenly there, the brown tabby taking the blow instead, even managing to severely injure the badger before he died. Ever since that day, Birchwhisker tries to live his life to the fullest, viewing it as a gift from his former leader, and does his best to protect his clan mates, even if that means that one day he might need to give up his life in order to save one of them.

As an only kit, his mother raised him alone, and without a father in their lives. A wirey, coarse she-cat, she mostly taught him to rely on himself, a habit he learned to break upon becoming a larger member in the clan, allowing himself to dampen her teachings and become a tad more reliant on his clanmates, in turn allowing them to stay reliant on him. Stagthorn, due to his upbringing, struggles a fair amount in socialization, but knows how to communicate when needed, no matter how curt or dry it may seem. He doesn't mean to come off that way, he truly doesn't know how else to express himself.

Drifting through her apprenticeship, she slowly climbed out of her shell as time went on, becoming a sort of mediator and friend to the entire clan, becoming a warrior in turn. After a couple years of serving, however, genetics caught up to the youthful she-cat, and she was forced to move to the Elders den due to her steadily declining hearing. Swanfall took it in stride, and continues to try and spread her calm spirit to her clanmates, no matter her strained hearing.

Name: Bluetail
Gender: Male
Rank: Medicine Cat
Appearance: Bluetail is a stocky, gaunt old tom with midlength off white fur dotted with splotches of blue-gray on his chest, paws, muzzle, ears, belly, and tail. He has stormy green, rheumy eyes and various kinks and mats throughout his pelt, as well as kinked whiskers. His most striking trait is his particularly long bushed tail.
Brief Background: Bluetail was born a boisterous and steely kit with a nose for trouble and the means to commit. Never shying away from a chance to see or try something new, he was a restless sleeper and a raring waker. Eventually, however, a harsh run in with a hawk left the kit a hollow, traumatized shell of his former self, hesitant to be apprenticed. Eventually, he was assigned to Hareleaf, Cragclan’s previous medicine cat, and slowly managed to claw through the walls he had built for himself, forming into a bit more of an abrasive, snippy old tom with a slight reputation for airheadity, but a strong dedication to the duties of a medicine cat.
