Personality
You'd expect him to be a menencing, aggressive tom because of his size however he is quite a mellow and laid back cat. Snowstar is extremely calm and patient, rarely ever lashing out at someone or snapping, and nothing seems to bother him. He can get angry at times, but he masks it easily. In dangerous situations, instead of panicking Snowstar will keep calm and not sharing others sense of panic as he is able to keep his mind clear. Snowstar's calmness helps him quite a lot, for example when hes placed into unwelcomed situations such as a challanging cat who refuses to leave his territory. Due to his calm nature, Snowstar is not the one to start border skirmishes or the like and if he finds a cat close or across the border, his usual reaction is to question them for their reasoning and if they don't start anything, he will most often send them on their way. Because of this, other Clans may view him as a pushover, but in all reality, the tom just doesn't want to start any unnecessary drama.
One of the most appreciated parts of this trait is his soothing nature and ability to calm a cat when they are panicked or angry. So long as the other feline doesn't threaten him or someone close to him, Snowstar will usually treat them as he would a clanmate and offer what assistance he can before asking them to return to their homes.
Ever since he was a young kit, Snowstar has been determined to do his best at whatever he did. His determination is what drives him to do everything he does at the best he could. This attitude can make him come off as a little stubborn, but the tom generally knows when it's time to stop. At times, he can let his determination get the better of him which can land him with too much on his paws at a time but with some luck, this shouldn't happen too frequently.
Snowstar is quite quick to think, and is not afraid of charging into a battle head on. Even while on his paws, he can easily think of some sort of plan even when theres the commotion of a fight around him. Others sometimes think of him head strong or foolish because of this, however Snowstar does know when to stop and not let his bravery get the best of him. Snowstar is generally a very friendly cat and isn't opposed to helping others, even if they are outside of RiverClan. Some may interpret this trait into being naive, but Snowstar knows well enough as to not get manipulated and wants to give everyone a fair chance at leading a pleasurable life; though he will always put his clans safety before some random strays. He is also quite forgiving, and is not against giving others a second chance; but try your luck too many times and he will not be as lenient.
Appearance
A extremely large tom, Snowstar towers over his Clan-mates and other cats easily, and is often described as big as a fox. He has very long and thick fur, as well as a bushy tail, and when touched it feels as soft as a feather, however under all that fluff is pure muscle and power, so don't go mistaking him for a defenceless ball of fluff, otherwise you might get smacked in the head by his massive paws. While Snowstar is quite muscular and broad shouldered, he is also quite lean, however is not the fastest cat in the Clan. Despite that he has very quick reflexes and balance, so if he does catch you, you better watch out. His pelt is a snowy white, with black stripes going down his body, tail, legs and face. He also has black paws and a bit of black under his tail. Snowstar's eyes are a pale, piercing icy blue and his left ear has a small chunk missing at the side making it look like a V shape, as if someone had clawed his ear.
History
Born to a ThunderClan mother named Doveheart and RiverClan father named Coalgaze, life wasn't easy for him. As well as being a half-Clan cat the Clan's already knew the kits heritage, and after there birth Doveheart and Coalgaze had broken up. He was born along with his other two brothers, Icekit and Ravenkit, however Snowkit was the smallest out of them all and quite weak, and the medicine cat fretted he would not make it through his first night. Surprisingly he did and eventually got better, however he seemed to be not as strong or fast as the other kits, and often taunted or pushed around. The only friend he had throughout his kithood was Icekit his brother, however his other brother Ravenkit often went along with the other kits in bullying and teasing him. Two moons before his apprentince ceramony, his mother Doveheart had wounded her back badly when out on a border patrol and slipping down into a large ditch. A few days later the medicine cat confirmed she was unable to move or walk, and there was a chance of her never recovering. Snowkit and his brothers then had to be cared and nursed for by a different queen, however Doveheart didn't want that, and pleaded with a Clan-mate to take the kits to there father in RiverClan. Agreeing, Doveheart's friend arranged a meeting with Coalgaze and snuck out the kits one night to hand them over to there father. They were taken back to RiverClan and raised there. At first the kits were unsure, however eventaully got used to the new Clan. Snowkit craved for his fathers attention, though it seemed Coalgaze was more interested in his stronger kits, Ravenkit and Icekit, leaving Snowkit to often be by himself. He grew a deep jealously to his brothers because of this, and he began to drift away from one of his only friends and brother, Icekit. Icekit tried to spend time with him, but Snowkit hated him to much and they eventually grew apart.
A few moons later Snowkit became Snowpaw, and he was assigned Frostbitten as his mentor, while Ravenpaw was assigned Scorchclaw and Icepaw had Darkfeather. Frostbitten was a harsh and strict mentor, training Snowpaw until he was ready to collapse in exhaustion, however it honed Snowpaw's fighting and hunting skills, and with his determination to be a good warrior he was excelling in his training, and seemed to be the best apprentince out of the other's. Snowpaw loved training with his mentor even if he was brutal, because it would get his mind of his family, and let him focus on being the best fighter one day. Because of this his first assignment was given to him earlier then most apprentinces, however he passed easily, and continued his training. Occasionally he might of ended up with a few bite marks or bruises here and there with Frostbitten's training, yet it didn't seem to faze the young tom. A few days after his second assignment, Frostbitten had ordered him and Icepaw to go hunting together, to prove there team work skills. Snowpaw was not very eager for it, though he knew he had to show Frostbitten he was the best. Along the way the two brothers kept getting into arguements and scaring of prey, until they got into a fight and rolled straight towards a badgers den. They were so focused in battling that they didn't see the badger heading straight for them, and it was to late for Snowpaw to do anything when the badger got its fangs wrapped around his brothers neck. Panicked, Snowpaw charged at the badger, of course he was no match for it but he didn't care. After a few heart-beats of clawing at it the badger dropped Icepaw and turned its attention on Snowpaw. He fought the badger bravely, but he was soon beggining to loose to much blood. A RiverClan patrol burst in on the scene before the badger could give him a fatal blow, and chased of the badger. It was to late for Icepaw however, as the neck wound was to deep for the medicine cat to save him. Distraught Snowpaw blamed his brothers death on himself, and it didn't help with his other brother Ravenpaw blaming him to.
Snowpaw got his warrior ceramony after a couple of moons and was named Snowstripe in honor of his striped pelt, and he was not the small cat he was before. He had grown much bigger, even bigger then all of his other Clan-mates. His father was proud and seemed to consider him as his son, however Snowstripe didn't want anything to do with him. At his first gathering as a warrior, shockingly his mother Doveheart was there and pleaded for him to come home, to ThunderClan. Doveheart told him after many moons her back had finally healed, however it was still not fully healed, as she would get sore easily if she walked or hunted. Snowstripe refused, telling her he belonged to RiverClan. His mother wouldn't give up easily, and kept pestering and begging him to come back. At the next gathering he had enough, and got into a big arguement with Doveheart. Finally realizing he wouldn't live with her, Doveheart snapped, calling him insults and refused to call her his son anymore. Snowstripe was relived at his to not be pestered by his mother anymore, however Doveheart saw him as a enemy now, and Doveheart had attacked him brutally at the gathering, leaving the other Clan's shocked at this. It was a fierce battle however before anyone could tell them to stop Snowstripe had pinned down his mother, and let go hoping she would stop. Doveheart attacked again but was then pulled away by her Clan-mates, in which the gathering ended quickly, as clouds sweeped over the moon. Snowstripe recived his first apprentince, Duskpaw a few moons after and trained him well, and after a few assignments she became a warrior named Dusktail. His father Coalgaze was growing old, and soon retired to the elders den.
The current deputy of RiverClan grew ill, developing Green cough and later passed away. It was expected of his brother, now named Ravenfur to be chosen as the next deputy, yet he was chosen instead. Ravenfur's hatred grew even more, however Snowstripe was shocked at being the next deputy. He was honored however, and pledged he would do the best he can for his Clan. Only being deputy for a few moons, unexpectly the leader had been killed in a battle, and Snowstripe was the next cat to be the leader. At first he wasn't sure if he was ready and was thinking of choosing someone else, but his Clan looked up to him, and expected him to lead. He then took on the role of leader and recieved his nine lives from StarClan, coming back as Snowstar. Unfortunately his father Coalgaze has passed away while he was on his trip to the Moonpool, due to old age. Snowstar mourned for him when he returned, but had to focus on leading his Clan now. At the next gathering he shared the news he was the new leader of RiverClan, and the Clan's accepted him. The ThunderClan leader spoke of ThunderClan's news first, reporting that Doveheart, his mother had been killed by a feral dog. Snowstar was upset, but he wasn't as upset when losing his father. On the way back his brother Ravenfur told him he wanted to talk to him in private, and Snowstar followed him, agreeing. It wasn't true though as Ravenfur attempted to kill him, taking him by surprise. Ravenfur wanted him dead because he wanted to be the leader, and he would of taken all of Snowstar's lives if he could. They fought, and in the end Snowstar had won, but had accidently killed Ravenfur in the process. Now without his family, he only focus's on his Clan now and nothing else seems to be important to him but protecting his Clan-mates.
