Briarstar of ThunderClan

Name: Briarstar (formerly Briarkit, Briarpaw, and Briarrose)
Age: five years (60 moons), has 6 lives left
Gender: She-cat
Clan: ThunderClan
Rank: leader
Appearance: Briarstar is a smallish light brown tabby with a white underbelly. Her eyes are as green as the leaves of the trees, and they hold the wisdom and depth that only time can bring. She has broad shoulders and a neat, compact body with powerful hindquarters, which makes her a gifted fighter as well as climber.

Personality: A natural born leader, Briarstar is well-spoken and intelligent. She is a rallying point for her clan, truly devoted to leading and protecting them. She has a truly good-natured disposition, and therefore hates being deceptive, but she will do anything to keep her clan safe. She has always had a strong connection with StarClan, and she looks to them to help her guide her clan. Briarstar is an energetic cat, always on the go. Although she became a leader at such a young age, she has always commanded the utmost respect from her clanmates. She is a very gifted leader, with a great command of the spoken word. She can easily rally her clan to almost any cause, using her sharp wit and persuasive tone. However, Briarstar is prone to mood swings that can make her slightly difficult to work with. At times, she can feel so dragged down by despair that she can hardly function. Most of the clan believes it is partly because of the loss of her brother so long ago. Since his death, Briarstar hasnt felt truly loved. Although her clan loves her, of course, Briarstar has not been particularly close to another cat since Thornpaw passed. The pain of his loss and the raw lonliness she has felt ever since has buried itself deep inside her, but occasionally the pain emerges when she least expects it.

History: Born into ThunderClan, Briarkit was a leader from the beginning. She appointed herself leader of the kits in the Nursery, including her brother, Thornkit. The kits would constantly get into trouble under Briarkit's command, but the clan knew that she was something special. Even then, even the blindest elder could see that Briarkit would make a gifted leader. When she and her brother were made apprentices, Briarpaw vowed to serve and protect the clan with every scrap of strength granted to her by StarClan. She quickly became powerful fighter, a graceful climber, and a deadly huntress. Alongside her brother, Briarpaw felt invincible.

But she was so very wrong. During a fateful battle with the devious ShadowClan, Thornpaw was killed when a massive ShadowClan warrior pounced on him, shattering his spine. Briarpaw, too, was gravely injured. She sustained a fracture to her tail, making it hard for her to balance and climb. She was in the medicine den for almost a moon, but eventually her tail healed enough for her to return to the apprentices' den. Although her tail was as good as new, Briarpaw was stricken with grief for her lost brother, and she was allowed an extra half-moon off duty to grieve for Thornpaw. After that, Briarpaw vowed to do her best to keep the clan safe, for Thornpaw's memory. And since then, she has kept his memory alive by leading and protecting her clan to the very best of her ability, knowing that Thornpaw will always be there for her, even if she couldn't see him.
