CLAN: SnowClan

APPEARANCE:

Pelt: Graystar is an all around gray cat. He has several grays mixed into his fur, but it's barely noticeable with just a first glance, or even a 2nd glance. Lets start at the tip of his ears. The tips are just barely between a light gray, and a darker gray. But nonetheless, barely noticeable. As you go down to the base of the ears you see that it turns to a rich dark stone color that spreads across most of his body. Toward the area where his whiskers are it lightens up a bit and gives off a glossy shine. His nose is a dull coal black that gives off no shine, but looks faintly wet. Graystar has a very long tail that starts with a darker color at the base, and gradually gets lighter and lighter until the regular stone gray that you see on most of his fur. His underbelly has shorter fur and the same color fur as most of his body.

Eyes: He has brilliant amber eyes that have black slit pupils in the middle. His eyes will rarely show emotion but when they do, he is either alone, or with someone he totally trusts. Sometimes they'll change to a dull amber in times of depression. Sometimes when you think they can't get any brighter, they do, especially in times of joy.

Build: He may look rather average size, but take a few more glances, and you'll see that he is all muscle, and little to no fat. He is agile and very quick. As you go to his neck, and shoulder blades, you see fine toned muscle that ripple softly beneath his coat. His legs are thick, and long with plush fur that isn't quite soft or coarse. The pads on the bottom of his paws are black and cracked with age. Though they aren't worn out yet.

Flaws: There are many scars along his body from the skirmishes he has been in. There is also several spots along his left flank that are hairless. This resulted from being burned from a small fire that was set somehow. Also, the very tip of his tail is bent, as if it was broken and set wrong.

PERSONALITY:

Let's just say Graystar is "off his rocker". He's a little nuts. A LITTLE, you say. And yes, I mean a little. Try to guess what could happen to the cats if he was ever so slightly more insane? hmm? Okay. Let's talk about him. He is a very charismatic cat, and unlike many of the cats in his group, more lenient on things. He admires cats because of either courage, or cleverness. He himself is very brave and clever. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a Leader, right? Much like the rest of the SnowClan though, he is very compassionate. He cares for his clan, and all the innocent cats that need their lives saved.

Back to the crazy cat thing, he takes rather, eccentric chances, and makes eccentric decisions from time to time that show his true state of mind. No doubt, he is a very good Leader, it's just that, he, well, does strange things. These things he does, is better Roleplayed than explained in here my sweetie, so you'll have to be patient. Several of his likes are sleeping, eating, leading, and of course, helping others. He also tends to talk to himself a lot, many cats notice. What he is really doing is talking to God. He feels like you can't just believe in him and call for him in a time of need. He believes you need to have a close and personal relationship with The Creator.

Likes/Dislikes: He loves to lead is clan, and to help others, and like many male cats, to eat and sleep. As well as talking to God. He dislikes boring days, egoists, and non-believers.

HISTORY:

Kit: Graystar started out like every other kit. He was born into SnowClan, and raised to become a warrior. Although, there were early signs in his life that showed his eccentrically made personality, He wasn't exactly insane, he just thought a little differently. From his kit hood, he was a popular cat to hang around, as he listened to the elders, and disobeyed the rules at the same time. As he approached apprenticeship, his father got permanently crippled by a warrior from IceClan. So it was decided that he could help out the medicine cat a little bit as she was overwhelmed with the number of sick cats, especially in Leaf-bare. The day before his apprentice ceremony, the leader talked to him, and him only. What was said is still kept a secret to this day, but it sure seems it has done Graystar much good.

Apprentice: When he became an apprentice, his goal, at first was to follow every rule, code, and instruction. But overtime, he learned that breaking all three could improve his skills, save a life, and teach him to think creatively. There was one particular time when no one could find him. But when his best friend at the time, found him, it was the middle of the night. He was in the thickest part of the oak forest, nearly to the edge of the Himadantha Mountains, bordering the ocean, just staring. Then soon after that Graypaw babbled on about seeing an amazing entity. He spoke of it's features, personality, and eyes. Oh the eyes. The perception of the eyes stuck with Graypaw all through his life, even to this day.

Young Warrior: Graypaw, when it came time for his assessment, was clearly ready for warriorhood. He especially excelled in battle and defense skills, although hunting was also his forte. As he became a warrior, he was named Grayfur, for his ever-staying, gray fur. He clearly was one of the best warriors, even at a young age. He fought hard in battles, accumulated battle scars, while others faded away. Then the nightmares started. He had quite nearly forgotten about seeing the entity. But it came back to haunt him. It spoke softly to him in his dreams. It sounded ancient as if it's voice came from the earth. He'd scream every night, and had to take poppy sees to stop the dreams, but that didn't last long. He suddenly became feverish one night, and nearly died. If it hadn't been for the medicine cat, he would have.

Mature Warrior: Grayfur recovered quickly after that, and the nightmares went away. Most cat's wariness of his mental state had all but gone. He looked and acted so well, that the Leader at the time gave him an apprentice. And then another after that. Grayfur was a great mentor. He treated each of his apprentices with care, but also with discipline. Having those two apprentices, reflected later on in his life when the deputy died. According to every cat in the clan, it was clear that he would be the next deputy. When he was given the position, he was a natural at it. He adored giving out patrols, and parties. He knew who paired up with who best, and he knew the best hunting spots in the territory, and knew the worst places to go.

Leader: When the leader died, he was left with an expectant clan, and a terrified self being. He was terrified, all the time, about having nightmares again. Especially in this time. When he received the authority, he, like in his previous rank, was a natural. He put everything together, kept it stitched up, and made sure peace was here and there. Now that he is getting older, his eccentric personality really colors his life. He makes funky choices that his clan wouldn't normally want (although the choices Graystar chose were the wisest), he talked peculiarly sometimes, as if trying to give a riddle without it actually being a riddle.

But nonetheless, he is still a great leader, and does everything for his clan, and the innocent lives he'll be sparing in the future.
