Name: Hawkstar
Age: 29 moons
Gender: She-cat
Clan: WindClan
Rank: Leader
Appearance: Hawkstar is a small-framed tortoiseshell. Her face is angular and delicate, with a buttery yellow stripe running down her nose. Her ears are a little large and pointed. She has a spot of the same buttery yellow color on her chest. Her tail is long and thin, but strong and very versatile. It's tip is the same buttery yellow as on her nose and chest. The rest of her body is a mottled combination of browns and blacks, with the occasional fleck of yellow. Her eyes are a striking green, which are sometimes used to remind the cats under her of their place.
Personality: Hawkstar is generally a kind cat. She loves kits, and will take time out of her day to play with them if asked. She is determined not to be like the leader she once knew and idolized, Cobaltstar, who was distant from all of her Clanmates and didn't really take the time to know them. She makes it her business to know what's happening in her Clan at any given time, and often stops by the elders den, nursery, and medicine cat's den just to check up on the occupants. However, on bad days, she'll be exactly like the leader she tries to break away from; cold, distant, and far away from the goings on of her little world. Any request then will be turned away until she feels better, because she knows she won't be able to give it the consideration she normally would. She always tries to give cats a second chance to prove themselves; for instance, cats who wander onto her territory in need of help or a place to stay. If you've betrayed her, though, you'd better consider high-tailing it out of there, because there will be no second chances for such an offense. Trust is important to her and is one of the things she values most.
History: Hawkstar was Hawkkit, Hawkpaw, and Hawkfeather before becoming Hawkstar. Her father was Crowfeather, the mighty warrior of WindClan whose praises are sung throughout all Clans as one of the cats who journeyed to the sun-drown-place. She never really knew her mother, as the last pregnancy which resulted in Hawkstar drove her crazy. She left WindClan just before Hawkstar was born, gave birth just above the border of the territory, and left. The little kit was lucky to have survived, but sure enough Crowfeather, despairing for the lives of his mate and unborn kit found her on patrol one day and brought her home to where she belonged. He tried to be a father and mother as much as he could, and they were very close, despite the way most cats remember him as gruff and bitter. His death struck her hard, and she was never quite the same, but threw herself into her Clan life as much as possible to make things 'right' again. Cobaltstar chose her as her deputy near the end of the leader's life, after the old deputy was killed by a badger. They were nearly always at odds because of the way each chose to involve themselves in the Clan, and Cobaltstar tried to impress her way of life on the then-Hawkfeather until her death. Hawkstar never listened, and she's been a pretty successful leader ever since.
