Picture:
Name: Swiftstar
Gender: She-cat
Age: 42 Moons
Clan: StormClan
Rank: Leader
Lives: 9
Description:
Swiftstar is a lean and muscular she-cat with a pleasing personality. She has a solid grey pelt, but her facial markings are exquisite. There are four darker gray stripes at an angle much like the teeth of an animal. She also has pond green eyes to add to her silent beauty.
She is equipped with a light weight body, giving her the aspect of being a runner. Even her tiny paws seem to add to the physique of a runner, and as a kit, it was all she liked to do. Swiftstar also has a long tail, to give her that long yet small appearance.
Personality:
Swiftstar is the leader of one of the fiercer clans in the area. Amongst her clan she is quiet and happy, but amongst other cats, she puts up a cold offensive, never letting them close to her. She dislikes rogues and kittypets, finding them a pile of fox-dung upon the earth. Picking a fight with her would definitely be a bad choice. Very few have made it out without a scratch, as she likes to give a few scars for them to remember her by.
In camp, she helps get done what is necessary to survive. Her Clan is her world and she would give up all her lives to make sure Stormstar’s legacy lives on during her reign.
History:
Swiftkit was born to Stormstar’s sister, Lightfur and her mate, Windclaw. She was the only one that survived the storm that evening, as the chill took her siblings to StarClan. Windclaw and Lightfur, as well as the lonely Stormstar, made it their goal to see Swiftkit do something while a cat in StormClan; and thus she grew with the three greatest teachers she could ever have.
Windclaw was Stormstar’s first deputy, but surely not his last. During this time, FireClan seemed to have an ordeal with hunting territory as they had lost some of theirs to QuakeClan in a battle. Lightfur was on patrol when FireClan attacked. She was killed in battle, and Windclaw was devastated. He pushed his daughter harder and harder as an apprentice, even though her mentor was now dead. Stormstar would not give Windclaw the apprentice to mentor, and eventually the insanity drove him mad. The deputy walked straight into FireClan territory and never returned.
Swiftpaw clung to her uncle after that, not wanting to give up on her last family member. The aging leader appointed a respected warrior, Cottonpelt, to be her new mentor and the new deputy. There was a reason behind his decision, as he knew Cottonpelt would eventually retire and join StarClan just as she was coming of age to become a deputy. He was right, and it was his legacy he left with her.
Swiftpaw became Swiftrun. Cottonpelt was as proud as her mother would have been, and Stormstar watched her flourish as he continued to head towards his own death. Cottonpelt retired after that, and Stormstar chose Swiftrun as his deputy. The Clan was happy with this, proud to see the blood of their wise leader on her way to being the next leader.
When Floodstar came to see her uncle off, she was bitter and cold. The same wall that would be placed up time and time again had just been built. The tom that had taught her a majority of what she knew was gone, and now she was being placed as leader by the opposing male who knew nothing of how great Stormstar really was. When Floodstar left, she sat vigil at her uncle’s side, swearing to his soul that StormClan would live on.
’StormClan will live on, Uncle. I swear it will live on…’
