Feverstar

[Feverstar]

Name: Feverstar
Gender: Tom
Age: 52 moons
Rank: Leader

Appearance: Feverstar looks much like a tortoiseshell cat. He is normal sized - not too big but not too small - for a tom. His fur is light and soft, and it is obvious even from a distance that he is a long-furred tom. Feverstar is mostly black, but his entire chest is dipped in snow-white. It is very striking in the nighttime. His paws are also white, making him look like he's walking in snow. Above the white patch on his chest and also merging with it is a dull orange splotch. It completely covers up his left eye, but swerves down to avoid his right eye.

His whiskers are long and the same color as his paws. His back is covered in lighter black and the orange color, dappling here and there. His nose is soft and dark pink, but it is really his eyes that are attracting. They are dull green-yellow, pretty and intriguing. Feverstar's bushy tail is ringed with a darker black color than the rest of his body, and it has a few orange flecks on the underside. Overall, Feverstar is a handsome cat, but he's not so handsome that all of the she-cats adore him. So he's average on his looks.

Personality: Persistent, thoughtful, proud, loyal, sly. Those describe the once hard-headed AshClan leader. Persistent, because he always wants to know what is going on with his Clan and what the cats are up to. When some cat is in trouble, he always asks questions about what happened for some information. That is what makes him persistent. If a cat is troubled, he asks questions, but not too many to make the cat uncomfortable. So he is prying to an extent. Feverstar is thoughtful because he can always come up with new ways to do things, such as normal Clan life, hunting, fighting, and other techniques. He thinks hard about a lot of things, and thus is a pretty good leader. Usually he thinks before talking, but that isn't always the case. Proud also describes Feverstar because he hardly lets other cats know what he is thinking or feeling. He refuses to talk things out to other cats, and never shows that he's hurt unless it's completely obvious.

Loyal obviously describes the AshClan leader because he is loyal to his Clan, simple as that. Leading it and all, he ought to be loyal to every cat in his Clan, even if they are a Suffragette she-cat. The slyness has grew more and more in Feverstar now that he is at high position. He'll sneak away from the camp during the night, and when he returns and the cats ask where he went, he replies back with a sly grin and a wink of his pretty little eyes. Or he'll lie - playfully, though - about what happened, trying to appear sneaky. Over all, Feverstar is a decent cat personality-wise. He used to be arrogant and way too proud for his own good, and occasionally it will show through, but now he isn't.

History: Feverkit was born to Spottedheart, his father, and Wildflower, his mother. He was named after the bright, fever-ish orange on his pelt. Feverkit was born an only-kit, so he got especially spoiled by his parents and all of the loving he could get. When he was old enough to go out of the nursery, the elders of AshClan constantly spoiled him as well. When he tried his first piece of freshkill given to him by Larksong, and elderly she-cat, he loved it. Most of his kithood was spend in the elder's den. Every day when he woke up he went there to hear stories, but returned to the nursery at dusk. It was the perfect life so far.

When he was three moons old, he was sent into apprenticeship. It was rather late for a tom to start training, but he didn't really mind. His parents wanted him to be the best warrior ever, and now the newly named Feverpaw agreed. Since he was busy training with his mentor, Cloudfrost, most of the time, he never found himself in the elder's den unless he was being punished and had to take care of them. Since Cloudfrost was an old warrior, he'd trained a lot of apprentices, and was quite strict. But he hardly ever gave Feverpaw the punishment of taking care of the elders. Instead, he attacked his apprentice and left scars on him. On his left ear, there is even a small hole in it.

After a tough time training with Cloudfrost, he hardly visited his parents. Spottedheart was frustrated by this, but his mother was just simply worried. His father's frustration grew when he had his warrior ceremony when Feverpaw was fourteen moons old. It was eased a little bit when Coalstar, the leader, named him after Spottedheart with the name Feverspots. The older Feverspots grew, the more the arrogance and proudness fell out of him. When he was thirty moons old, he reconnected with his parents. Wildflower was willing to forgive him easier than Spottedheart. Over time, Feverspots grew to like his mother more, but she was taken from him during birth of another litter, her fifth now. By that time she was really old and should have retired, but she wanted to continue her duties to her Clan by giving birth to new kits like a good queen. Her kits and mate grieved, but Feverspots went through most of it by himself. Soon his siblings and father forgot about her. But he remembered Wildflower.

When he became deputy shortly after Wildflower's death at thirty-five moons, he was completely shocked. But Coalstar, old and frail along with Spottedheart now, believed that he would make a fine leader after him. His ambition for being leader had dissolved when he was a young warrior, and right then he wanted to just be one again. But he ruled AshClan well with his leader at his side. Spottedheart lived to retire to an elder, where he is still at to this day. Feverspots, too busy with deputyship and taking care of the Clan, didn't have time to find a mate and help the Clan thrive with new warriors and nannies. He heard of the Suffragette cats - she-cat who opposed being treated like property. Feverspots refused to show his side on what he should do with them in the future, even if some cats ask him who he's sided on - against or with the Suffragettes.

Feverspots became the leader a year later at forty-seven moons old. To this day, he rules AshClan well, with the help of Adderfrost, the younger deputy. It has only been five moons since he started ruling his Clan, but so far he has done well. He received his name as Feverstar and his nine lives, and he hasn't lost one yet so far.
