Name: Sparrowstar
Age: 48 moons.
Gender: She-Cat.
Family: Maplenose / Mother / NPC & Stormfeather / Father / NPC (open to siblings!!)
Clan: Riverclan
Rank: Leader
Personality:
[ Strong-Willed ] determined to do as one wants even if other people advise against it.
Sparrowstar is very determined to do things her way, and it takes a lot of coaxing to get her to change her mind. In some ways, this is a good thing; when enforcing the rules, Sparrowstar is able to do her duty with little issue. However, because of her tendency to make decisions based on intuition, she sometimes misjudges something and refuses to be swayed by anyone else's opinion.
Sparrowstar is an optimist, and a bit of a dreamer. She believes that there is little evil in the world, and has slipped into a state of being naive - she almost refuses to believe that bad things can happen to her or her clan. If something bad does happen, she will own up and say she was wrong that time, but still sticks to her belief that only good things happen to good people.
An appropriate character trait for a leader to have, Sparrowstar is very kind and compassionate when it comes to her clan, and sometimes outsiders. She tries very hard to never let a cat go hungry, even if it means less food for her. She often makes round around the camp to make sure everyone is happy, and often assists the cats who're in charge of taking care of the Elders that day to make sure they're comfortable.
Sparrowstar is very determined to keep her clan safe, and would fight to the death if it meant she would save them from destruction. She is very aggressive about the safety of her clan, and makes that clear as often as she can.
She's very loyal to the Warrior Code and to Starclan, and tries her best to fulfill Starclan's wishes. She almost refuses to break the Warrior Code, only doing so to save another cat's life, for she believes that even Starclan would forgive her for saving a life. She would gladly die for her clan, and isn't afraid to show that.
Sparrowstar is incredibly impulsive, and often makes decisions based on a first experience. She very rarely thinks about the aftermath of her decisions, and has caused some issues for herself in the past because of this. She tries to make up for her impulsiveness by mulling things over with her deputy before making a decision, but often makes the decision based on her first impression anyway.
All in all, Sparrowstar's personality is an odd one for a leader to have; while her personality may be fine for a warrior, a few of the traits present in Sparrowstar make for a difficult leader. Despite this, she is confident that she has the ability to keep her clan safe in the face of calamity, and that's enough to keep her clan from challenging her leadership.
History:
Sparrowkit was born to Maplenose and Eaglefeather, two very young and very infatuated cats of Riverclan. She and the kits born her age would often get into scuffles over the well-being of insects; while the other kits would have fun pouncing on and batting around small beetles and such, Sparrowkit would "rescue" the bugs from their tormentors and release them in the bushes, and then return to scold the others. Her mother was very proud of what a kind-hearted kit she'd been blessed with, and would often laugh with the other mothers as Sparrowkit would swoop in and steal the bugs away from her playmates.
As an apprentice, Sparrowpaw found that she was rather good at fishing. She would often sit by the river for hours, stoic and statue-like as she waited for her prey to come to her. She and her mentor capitalized on this skill, and turned her into a fearsome fisherman, The two of them would often bring home heaps of fish, much to the delight of the rest of the clan.
When Sparrowpaw was made a warrior, their leader gave her the name Sparrowstream, taking into consideration her affinity for fishing and swimming. Sparrowstream was incredibly proud of her name, and lived up to it; every moment she wasn't patrolling, she was fishing for her clan or splashing around with her fellow warriors. She developed a carefree and happy-go-lucky outlook on life in her younger years, and fell for a young tom by the name of Heronflight. She found him alluring and handsome, and he shared her carefree lifestyle; the two became inseparable, and many became convinced that she would soon become a mother. Eventually, however, it became apparent that the two were not destined to be together - Sparrowstream was named Riverclan's deputy, and Heronflight began to drift away from her as she began to take on her duties as deputy. They eventually admitted that they were not as in love as they'd been when they were younger, and ceased to consider themselves a couple. They did not part on bad terms, however, and so Sparrowstream harbored no ill feelings towards Heronflight.
Sparrowstream eventually became Sparrowstar with the death of Riverclan's last leader, and she holds the title today with pride.
