Traits

Loyal: If you can gain her trust, Coldstar will be loyal to you for as long as she sees your intentions to be positive and for the good of others and not just themselves. Coldstar tries to abide by the rules set by Starclan at all times, if she finds some action to be the only way to help others, breaking the rules of the clans seems utterly stupid. But if another cat's life hangs in jeopardy whether he be from her clan or not she will go after them and break rules to keep them alive. 

-

Slightly Antisocial: Although Coldstar cares so much for her clan members and their well being, she can be quite antisocial. She will often be in her den curled up into a ball trying to avoid chat with her clan. Ever since Paleheart killed her mother, the past leader, she has not wanted to talk to many cats in fear the subject of her mother may come up. Coldstar will talk but only for a short time, and may leave mid sentence to go back to her den and rest. However more often than not if one of her clanmates wants to talk and it is on a subject she very well enjoys speaking about, she will gladly sit for hours endlessly talking to the warrior. She also loves to play around with kits as she wished she had a litter of her own when she was a younger warrior but no toms had fancied her as a young warrior. 

-

Prefers to be Alone: As opposed to being surrounded by the cats she is glad to call her family, she would prefer not to be near many of them. She loves all her clanmates but tends to leave them be and stay huddled by herself in a corner or in her den. At Gatherings she usually gets to Fourtrees first so she may lay at the top of Great Rock and lay down to wait for the other leaders with their warriors to arrive. Once Gatherings commence she will stand in silence behind the other leaders and when it becomes her turn to speak, she will say little and finish by leaving first of the clans. When other cats from other clans attempt to speak to her she will get up and walk away before they can make full contact unless it be a leader.

-

Good Listener: To most cats, she will not hold a conversation vocally. She will say a few meaningful words if anything at all. Coldstar says how when she was a young kit, she lost her voice and now it hurts to speak, which is of course a lie so she has an excuse to not talk. Although she enjoys listening to cats, trying to help with their problems or to just give them someone who will listen to how their day has been. She definitely prefers listening to talking

-

Physically Expressive: Although Coldstar would prefer to not speak, she is very good at expressing her feelings physically. If sad she will walk away slowly with her paws dragging down in the mud, if thankful she will smile and look down at the ground, when excited she stares at whoever made her excited and will possibly squeal with joy if happy enough. If she is angry however, she gives no warning of the sort. She will have a blank stare at everything and once you step over the line she cannot contain her anger and just lets loose, usually clawing and screeching at you to get you away.

      -

    Protective: With her own life, she will sacrifice herself for a clanmate. Coldstar is extremely protective
    over her clan. If you need help with anything she will be more than glad to put herself in between you                 
    and danger as long as you are safe. Sometimes if an apprentice feels more like her own kit to her  
    than another queen's kin, she will be protective over them when finding a mate and watch over that
    warrior as close she can to ensure his or her safety throughout their life. However, if she feels she
    didn't do a well enough job or feels as though she has failed, Coldstar will often enough claw at herself         
    lightly for her mistakes and go into a depression-like state. She hides the claw marks easily by clawing
    at her tail.

History

When she was a kit, Coldstar was often just ignored. She was the only cat in her litter and once she was born her mother resumed her position as leader, leaving Coldkit to be taken care of by a foster queen. Although as a young kit her mother had seemed to abandon her, it was because Swiftstar was flooded and exhausted with her job as leader.

Soon after becoming an apprentice, Swiftstar seemed to begin to finally care for her daughter. Being mentored by Swiftstar's most trusted friend, Coldstar had a good mentor. Keeping Swiftstar's daughter close, Coldstar's actions were closely monitored and she got what her mother believed to be the best training possible to turn her into a great warrior. However when her mentor died in a border war against Thunderclan, it was declared by her mother that Coldstar's apprenticeship was finished and she was named Coldclaw for her warrior name.

Her vigil went horrid, she couldn't sleep even if she wanted to. All she could think was the disappointment her mother must have thought when Coldclaw's mentor had died in battle. "He was an old cat, he shouldn't have gone into battle." She kept repeating to herself in her mind. She didn't know what to feel, anger? Sadness? Her mind was contradicting itself and so she had no choice but to scratch herself to get all the rush and clutter in her mind to cease and concentrate on the wound. She now uses it as a last resort if her mind starts pounding with different things and causing her headaches as the medicine cat's herbs do no good for an unhealthy mind. For seasons later, Coldclaw surpassed most cats, hunting more easily as her numerous striped patches and white blended in well with the moving light and brush of bushes. Her claws are long and strong, but she has constantly dulled them down by scratching on bark to show the borders of Shadowclan.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        When Swiftstar died by the claws of Paleheart, the current Deputy had moved to the position of Leader, bringing Coldclaw with him. When Coldclaw was made Deputy, she could barely contain her excitement and keep her cool. But she realized what this would mean from now on, she had to be more serious with her life and the well being of her clan. From then on Coldclaw became less talkative and more antisocial, trying to keep her clanmates from being sad of what happened to her mother, as Coldclaw herself can't stand to hear her mother's name be mentioned.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Now as Leader, Coldstar keeps to herself. Few wars to fight has made her not look like a leader but more of a coward to the other clans. She prefers not to be included in wars and likes to keep her clanmates safe from injury by the paws of other clan cats. But if there is no way of avoiding injury, then she will fight with all she has.

Coldstar respects all the leaders as they are, but is cautious not to form bonds with them, as she will only stay on one side or another if she finds it entirely necessary and she picks a side she feels is better and for the good of all four clans.

           I have never tried being so physically close to a cat and never realized how beautiful those eyes are and how soft and comforting his fur and voice is. Just looking into his eyes or hearing his voice just melts my heart.


Roleplay Sample

Coldstar awoke with a start. She quickly lifted her head gasping for air. She looked around, seeing she was in her den and slowly calmed as Coldstar realized she was merely dreaming. The she-cat stood up, her tired limbs wanted to collapse from a long day of running and hunting. She winced for a slight moment as she made her weary limbs step out of her den and walked over to the warriors' den. Then the Apprentices' den. Then slowly made her way over to the Medicine den. All was calm and quiet in their cozy dens under the bright sky of Starclan's domain. "Why do you do this to me? Make me worry, fear the worst. Why choose me for the job as leader?" Coldstar looked longingly up into the night sky, the bright starlight twinkling and reflecting off the water that built up in her eyes. "I have been doing this for so long, how am I still standing?" She whispered to herself as she slowly made her way to the dust, sliding her legs behind her as her forelegs formed a neat "X" and she nestled her head on her paws. "Why..." She cried as tears slowly slid down her face as she fell back into the dark crevices of her dreams.
