Name: Swiftstar
Gender: She-Cat
Age: 27 moons
Clan: WindClan
Rank: Leader
Visage: Swiftstar is beautiful and terrifying at once. She is called beautiful in all four clans and terrifying by every clan cat, banished cat and loner. Her eyes are a golden brown that melts to liquid amber. To look her in the eyes is like staring into pools of honey. They are mesmerizing and can leave a Tom cat feeling dazed. She is of medium height and weight for a she-cat cat, with the long, muscled legs typical of a WindClan cat. Her body is built for speed, and her love of running keeps her fit and fast. Her pelt blends smoothly into the grasslands that WindClan call home. The only fur that stands out is a snowy white chest and belly, the fur extends from her chin to her stomach. Other than that this tabby cat is brown, black and orange. Black and orange stripes cross her light brown pelt like tiger-stripes. Her head is swirled with black and brown fur and a long black stripe runs down her back. Dainty but tough paws are tipped with white as is Swiftstar's tail tip. Her face is elegant with fine bones forming a sweet muzzle and curved cheeks. Little in her physical appearance is scary, but in the confident and controlled way she holds herself, a large commanding presence is bestowed on any cat near. And with anger in her eyes no cat can meet her gaze, because the liquid honey has turned to trapped fire, and to unleash it would be horrifying.
Demeanor: Swiftstar's motivation, for everything she does, is her clan. She is intensely loyal to WindClan, but loves her power over it. She would never allow anything to hurt her clan and always thinks of the well-being of her clan mates, but she would never allow herself to loose the leadership of the clan. For her clan and clan mates, and nothing else, she is loyal. She is ambitious and loves the feeling of power. But her ambition does not reach beyond the borders of WindClan. She wants to protect her clan from all dangers, and to do so she believes that they must be the strongest clan, with the most territory and warriors. Swiftstar wants WindClan to be the greatest. However she is also smart, she is politically clever and is even good at manipulation if she thought her clan needed it. She would never start a fight she couldn't finish or risk her cats lives needlessly. She is brave but not fearless or foolish in her bravery. There is no shame in running. These traits make her a good leader but she is not perfect. She has a fiery temper that can send her into a rage which no cat wants to suffer. She is very young for a leader and though and still inexperienced with the pressures of command. Once she has made up her mind, she does not change it. She is impatient and hasty, especially when she is anxious for battle. She is called cruel and terrifying because she does not utter empty threats, she carries through each one.
Past: When all four clans had finally found their new home, WindClan was relieved to finally settle down again and resume their lives. The leader then was called Thornstar and he kept WindClan strong and together through chaos. When WindClan settled into their new home, Thornstar took a she-cat called Sparrowfeather as his mate and made her Sparrowstar. Sparrowstar was not clever or the best warrior, but she was sweet, and kind and very well liked in the clan. In the spring after they were mated WindClan rejoiced when Swiftkit, Talonkit, and Wildkit were born. As tradition dictated, Swiftkit was named Thornstar's heir as his first-born. As she grew up she was instructed specially by her father on how to be leader. She grew up happily with her foolish brothers, proud and strong Talonkit and fast, and quick-tonged Wildkit. Soon enough they were all made into warriors and became Swiftwing, Talonear, and Wildheart.
The tragedy struck WindClan, Sparrowstar was dead, and she was poisoned. A few days later Wildheart disappeared. Desperate to protect his family, Thornstar took his three most trusted warriors and left them with his kits on the fields while he returned to find the murderer. While they were there the warriors caught a scent, it was Wildhearts. Sparrowstar's brother, Eagleface, convinced the two other warriors to follow it while he remained with Talonear and Swiftwing. As soon as the warriors were out of hearing range Eagleface turned on them and would have killed them. They managed to get away and hid in an old badger cave. Crouched there with Thornear bleeding from a deep leg wound and Swiftwing holding the entrance, they heard Eagleface speaking with Wildheart. The foolish young warrior had agreed to help Eagleface drive out his family so he could take the throne. Now Wildheart thought Eagleface had gone too far, he'd promised no one would be hurt. As Swiftwing crouched over Talonear, Eagleface killed Wildheart. The yowls drew the warriors who had left and with them they brought Thornstar and other warriors.
Thornstar offered Eagleface the option of banishment to the dystopia and Eagleface agreed. But as he walked past he lept at Thornstar and killed him. Swiftwing and Talonear brought their father's body back to camp and there was never such mourning in WindClan.
At the next gathering Swiftstar announced to all clans what had happened. She told the other leaders that she was now leader, and nothing, nothing would ever harm her clan again. She had buried her brother in an unmarked grave in the fields, where no revenge seeking cat could harm her foolish brothers body, or mourn for him. Eagleface received no burial. She had his body moved to an unforgiving stretch of rocky ground in the High Hills and today his bones remain there, sun-bleached and wind-blasted. A testament to the fury of Swiftstar.
Fortune: I need to find her a mate. Mostly because she needs to have kits to be heirs to WindClan. She really is not that lovable. I don't think she will mate for love, so no forbidden romances. But anycat she marries will be Leader of WindClan and so she has to choose a loyal warrior who will support her decisions.
Other than that yeah, she is just kind of a spitfire. I think she may like to incite a war by claiming territory.
