Name: Orchidstar
Age: 27 moons
Gender: female
Position: Leader
Clan: ShadowClan
Description: The phrase there is more to one than meets the eye certainly has a way with Orchidstar. The she-cat is a slightly below average she-cat. She is not exactly minuscule, but she is just slightly below the average a normal cat would be. It would be no surprise, seeing as Orchidstar is a runt.
Orchidstar has fur the color of mud. It is a dark brown color, with the occasional streak of chestnut or onyx. Orchidstar has a white tipped brown tail, streaked with black like the rest of her tabby body. Orchidstar has white paws. Her front right leg has a long strip of white, contrasted to her front left, with just a dab of white, as if putting your hand into a shallow tub of paint.
Just above Orchidstar's paws are her white chest fur, that reaches down to her belly.
Orchidstar has hazel eyes that are just below her black ears. Eyes that reflect all of her sorrow, grief and pain. Eyes that glimmer with shallow wondering, but a full mind filled with dreams and thoughts running like deer.
-
And Orchidstar is very thoughtful. Quiet and rather open, the she-cat is a deep thinker and wise for a young cat her age. This confuses many brash, loud cats, and some say she is 'not a proper leader'. Why wouldn't she be? Although Orchidstar is a bit of a pacifist, she will not hesitate to defend her Clan. She is quite the fighter, even though her smaller stature deceive many.
Orchidstar is not quick to act depending on the situation; she takes time and thought, deciding everything to not make simple mistakes. If a cat is in danger, Orchidstar puts her prodigy mind to work to analyze the situation quickly and completely, but not so long that it's horrid.
The tabby she-cat is not shy, and is a quick bonder, although wise and rather mysterious.
Quick Desc.: Dark tabby she-cat
History: Orchidstar was born to a mutated queen named Freespirit and a handsome but vulgar tom named Twigface. Orchidstar disliked them, but got along with her parents. Her mother had lost both her eyes and one ear, but still thought her kits were beautiful. Orchidstar had one brother, Adderpaw. He took after his father, with his reddish brown fur and pointed, snakelike face.
Orchidstar disliked her brother, for he was cruel and venomous. He would shove around the poor brown tabby, commanding her to do hateful things. Orchidstar would protest to her mother, but she could not see, and doubted Orchidstar's words.
Then, Orchidstar was hunting with her brother. They had been recently made apprentices. With their dad dead from blackcoguh and mother with a broken leg, they were utterly alone. Orchidstar told Adderpaw she was going to hunt near the back of the giant tree in front of them. Adderpaw sneered and lashed a paw at her, knocking her over. He ran toward the stream. Odd, Orchidstar thought. The days were cold and the stream now held little prey. Abandoning her position, Orchidstar followed her brother.
Orchidstar was horrified. Through the trees she spied her brother creeping on three kits. Her knocked one unconscious and threw him into the river. The kit fell and did not come up. He shoved the other two under water. Orchidstar slammed into her brother, knocking him into the stream himself.
With the kits and her merciless brother, Orchidstar was faced with an impossible decision. Save her brother, her only family member that could still speak to her, or the innocent kits?
Orchidstar went for the kits. Knowing her brother could not swim, she took the kits out of the water, exhaustion weighing her down.
It was no use. Her brother was dead.
The Clan was filled with grief. The kits were alive and well, but their apprentice had drowned, his sister unable to save him. Even though Orchidstar helped the kits, they shunned her.
Moons passed, and Orchidstar was made a warrior- Orchidtail. Orchidstar fought in a battle shortly before that earned her name- a battle that had raged for moons.
Then, suddenly three kits went missing. Orchidstar was sent out with the warrior Cragfoot to retrieve them. Had they been lost... or kitnapped? (Yes, I said kitnapped. Dun dun, chish.)
They had been kitnapped. Cragfoot was dead in a merciless trap. Orchidstar straggled back to camp with the kits safe.
Cragfoot was dead- the Clan needed a new deputy. Orchidstar's name was called, and she was the deputy.
The leader died in a hideous, treacherous battle with a cat named Firpelt. (As in the firs from a tree.) Orchidstar was shaky, almost unwillingly to face such a pride, such a burden. Her Clan helped her through as wolves helped each other.
Orchidstar is still young and active today.
