Name:
Dawnstar
Name Explanation:
"Dawn" was given to her for her pale ginger (nearly cream) pelt. "-star", obviously, is her leader name; but her warrior name "-storm" was given both for her rather... rocky personality and the pale, swirling stripes on her pelt.
Age: 46 moons (3.8 years); 7 lives remaining
Gender:
Female
Rank:
Leader
Allegiance:
ThunderClan
Personality: Dawnstar is a paranoid, mistrusting cat - she does not doubt the loyalty of her own warriors to any degree, but when it comes to the other Clans Dawnstar takes no chances. She sometimes assumes the worst from the get-go, other times she is a little more reasonable. The safety and security of her Clan come first and in her eyes, the other Clans want nothing more than to steal her territory and hurt her Clanmates. She frets and worries about what the other Clans might be up to. Some cats theorize that this paranoia has to do with her sister's death and being promoted to leader very suddenly.
Beyond all of that, though, Dawnstar is a loyal ThunderClan warrior through and through. For her Clan she would do anything, even to the point of sacrificing one of her lives to save a fellow warrior. She cares for every cat in her Clan from the smallest kit to the eldest elder, and participates in patrols and hunting parties alike when she gets the chance.
Appearance:
Pale ginger she-cat with distinctively pale tabby markings; copper eyes
History: Dawnstar was one of a litter of two - she and her sister, Emberkit, were inseparable as kits and 'paws. They did nearly everything together, and felt disappointed when they were separated. After moons of training, the two received their warrior names - Dawnstorm and Emberjaw (a ginger tabby known for her powerful bite).
The two, as warriors, patrolled and hunted together often. They trained their apprentices together, talked about toms together, gossiped, and did most anything they could together. They were close. It was thanks to Emberjaw that Dawnstorm and Lioncloud became mates, after moons of shyness and hidden feelings.
But Emberjaw had a secret.
When Dawnstorm found out, it was too late. Emberjaw had been meeting a ShadowClan tom during the night, and they were meeting often. When confronted, Emberjaw saw it as her sister turning on her - betraying her, just like her ShadowClan mate had promised and manipulated her into thinking.
The two didn't talk for three moons; not even when Dawnstorm was named deputy, a reward for all her hard work and dedication to the Clan. During the congratulations, Emberjaw ignored her sister and stalked into the warrior's den. Even when Emberjaw kitted, and only one kit survived, she would not accept Dawnstorm's visits outside of what looked good to the Clan. Dawnstar never spoke a word of who the father was, not wanting to betray her sister a second time.
Finally, the fateful day came; ShadowClan attacked ThunderClan! They seemed to know every nook and cranny - every hiding place. It was then that Emberjaw realized what her "mate" had really done - he had used her to set up ThunderClan! During the battle Emberjaw attacked her manipulator with all the fury she could. Dawnstorm did her best to help, but the fighting was thick - Emberjaw's mate, the father of her only kit, struck her down and left her to die.
Furious with anger, Dawnstorm attacked the tom until he, too, was wounded so badly he could hardly move. It was only thanks to his Clanmates that he fled - but he died soon after from blood loss. The fighting roared to a halt as Dawnstorm wailed for her dying sister, and in their last moments they forgave one another. Dawnstorm and Lioncloud vowed to treat Emberjaw's kit as if he were their own, and Emberjaw drifted away into StarClan.
Dawnstorm began to deeply mistrust the motives of the other Clans after that - who knew what they were hiding behind their faces? Who knew what darkness and violence lay in store for her Clan?
Time passed - Emberjaw's kit became a warrior named after his mother, Firejaw. Dawnstorm the deputy became Dawnstar the leader, given nine lives by StarClan (one of which included a life of forgiveness from Emberjaw) when the previous leader died suddenly in the night. Just as Dawnstar and Lioncloud began planning for kits of their own, greencough hit and Dawnstar lost a life - Lioncloud nearly lost his, but StarClan spared him - though he is still recovering from the full effects of the sickness.
Dawnstar's second life was lost when an apprentice strayed too close to a fox's den while scenting prey - his focus for his assessment nearly cost him his life. Dawnstar, observing with the apprentice's mentor, leaped in front of the starving creature and took the killing bite to save the apprentice. This event happened about a moon ago, leaving Dawnstar with nasty wounds across the back of her neck.
((Finished! Let me know if there's anything problematic - when Dawnstar is accepted, I'll put up Firejaw and Lioncloud as adoptables.))
