Autumnstar; Loyal leader of ThunderClan
Name:
Autumnstar
Formally:
Gender:
S h e c a t
Age:
Sixty eight moons
Clan:
ThunderClan
Rank:
L e a d e r
Description:
Autumnstar has a very complex pelt which is almost as complex as her personality.
The pelt: Her pelt has many layers to it, but it mainly consists of three main colours; black, brown and white. These three main colours differ in tone which gives her character and makes her a very noticeable cat.
Her base colour is a warm and rich mahogany with flecks of deep chocolate brown. Over that is very pale tan patches which are placed over her pelt in no order. Through all these colours, black can be seen.
One her face, the colours come together closer which makes her face seem a lot bright than the rest of her body. The colours fade as they reach her legs and tail and usually are one colour; the mahogany but at the back of her front right paw, there is a distinguishing patch of tan fur.
Her fur is of average length but it is very thick which retains a lot of moisture, much to her dislike.
Distinguishing features: Her fur is her main distinguishing feature as it is very complex. She has two other main features; her whiskers and her eyes.
Her whiskers are all brown except for one, which is long and white which shows up a lot on her face.
Her eyes are bright amber with emerald around the pupil. This she inherited from her mother and in turn, her grand mother. It's been passed down through generations of her family.
Body: Her body is quite small, compared to the others around her. She is lithe and nimble and although she is small, she has a lot of power behind her.
Her legs are long, compared to the rest of her body, but these seem to aid her in her hunting and tracking.
Personality:
Autumnfur has a complex character. She is out-spoken but can become a recluse in a matter of seconds. She has other cats’ needs in her best interest but she can be very selfish, especially when it can be talking about themselves. Autumnfur will rarely talk about herself, her family or anyone dear to her. She will rarely share her memories too; for these are solely her own and no one can ever take them away from her.
She is a very loving and tender cat, especially to the younger cats. Her love for kits is unfathomable but she also seems weary of them at the same time. She is patient and loves to take care of younger cats when it's needed; she also has a distinct love for elders.
Autumnfur; although loving and caring does have a sharp side to her. Her tongue can often be sharper than her claws and isn't afraid to show it. She will never back down in a fight unless her leader orders her directly to do it, which also makes her loyal.
She is a very curious cat and sometimes her curiosity will get the better of her which has gotten her into trouble before, but now she stands a proud warrior of ThunderClan.
Autumnfur is terrified of water, she has a deep mistrust in it and she is sure that she cannot swim. She will never set foot in running water which can make her awkward, but if she definitely has to go into water, she will do all she can to prevent it. This can make her stubborn and sharp, but her fear is well-known so the other warriors know now to avoid water with her.
History:
Autumnkit: Born to be a healthy and promising kit of ThunderClan. She had no other siblings and both her mother and father were alive. As a kit, she was renowned for always sneaking out of the den, which almost got her killed. She lived through that and decided to be the best warrior that she could. She got apprenticed at the tender age of six moons.
Autumnpaw: At six moons she was apprenticed to a warrior called Mistclaw. Autumnpaw learnt fast which was very lucky because she spent most of her apprentice days in trouble with almost anyone. She was too curious and spent a lot of her time sneaking into other territories with her accomplice, Wolfpaw. He didn't learn as fast as she did, so he spent more time in training than she did, but this made their bond stronger because she strived to help him as much as she could. At twelve moons she had completed her training and became a warrior.
Autumfur: Autumnfur spent most of her earlier moons in her warrior hood helping to train Wolfpaw. Once he too was made a warrior they set out together and became mates. They were both in love and didn't spend much time out of each others company.
At twenty-eight moons old she bore a single kit and in the same afternoon that Wolfbane was ambushed by WindClan, causing his death. His death was a shock for everyone in the clan especially for Autumnfur. This took a toll on her relationship with her kit, Patchkit.
Patchkit had the same grey and white fur as his father and the same deep amber eyes. Autumnfur was reminded too much of Wolfbane whenever she looked at Patchkit. This caused so much pain for her so she made up her mind and once she had weaned Patchkit off milk, she took him to the kittypet nests. She disguised her scent and watched as Patchkit was made into a kittypet. She knew that it was for the best, she didn't want her son to know warrior life as she was too protective and it caused her too much pain. Although this might be seen as selfish, to her it was one of the most selfless things she has ever done.
She joined the search party into finding her kit, but she knew that they wouldn't. It has been one of ThunderClan's greatest mysteries and although other cats have tried to bring Patchkit into the conversation, she has refused.
For the stunt that she pulled with her son, she has strived to be the best warrior she could be. She almost drove herself into exhaustion after the first few weeks of Patchkit's 'death'.
At forty moons, she was promoted to being a deputy which was surprising as other cats could have done a better job than she has, but she surprised all and did an amazing job. She wasn't deputy for long before she was promoted to leader.
Autumnstar: To be continued...
