| EMBERSTAR | SHADOWCLAN LEADER | 35 MOONS | TOM Emberstar likes to think of his looks as imperial. In every aspect, even the flaws, he is a king. He fur is only slightly fluffy, yet long enough to keep well-groomed. His fur is the color of blazing embers, his stripes a darker, more burnt color. His back legs are marked with socks the color of his stripes, while his front paws are a beautifully brilliant ivory. Although not large, his tiny stature is accentuated with broad shoulders and powerful leg muscles. Marring his otherwise lovely fur are several small battle-scars from countless disputes. He wears each one with pride, holding his head high, every stride like a king. A kingly countenance, a kingly attitude, correct? Emberstrike is very ambitious, with big dreams for the future of the clans. He fights for supreme rule over all, where the other warriors are simply pawns for him to toy with. And he will do anything to ensure he and his comrades seize control. His biggest asset is his communication skills. He analyzes other cats, observes them, learns what makes them tick and what makes them swoon, and uses this against them. He relies on lies and negotiation to get what he wants, and shows a different face to every cat he meets. A kind, caring brother? A hardworking, trustworthy deputy? Lowly and humble? Ask and you shall receive. Emberkit > Emberpaw > Emberstrike > Emberstar Emberstar was a playful, agreeable kit. He got along with his sister and parents fairly well, and although he was a bit rough, he was never a villain. His kithood was full of tales of the Thunderclan leader Ashstar and his manipulative, power-hungry ways. One could say this inspired Emberstar's own ideals. After all, the only thing Ashstar did wrong was not have a proper army. It would be easy to take control; all that were needed were connections. His apprenticeship wasn't particularly rough. His mentor was Soot, an incoming loner whose sister resided in Riverclan. Emberstar didn't have many overpowering talents as a fighter or a hunter. Soot mainly focused on his battle training, as that seemed what Emberstar wanted most. Really, the goal was to make himself known. He talked to as many other cats in the clan as he could; he tried to make connections with apprentices in other clans. As long as he got his name out there, he was happy. Emberstar got his first apprentice at 20 moons, but the poor she-cat, Starlingpaw, was rather sickly and prone to illness. He did all he could to make her a warrior, but she succumbed to greencough after the ceremony. He feigned sorrow. At 27 moons, he became the new deputy after the previous one died of old age. At 35 moons, he managed to lead the previous Shadowclan leader, Ravenstar, into a trap that took her final life. He has ruled over Shadowclan ever since.
