Name: Sharpstar (Formerly Sharpfang)
Age: 36 moons
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Clan: Riverclan
Physical Description: Sharpstar is a little unusual for a Riverclan cat… Instead of the sleek swimming cats you usually see, he is large and strongly built; bulky and well muscled. Not to say he’s not built for life in his clan, he is still a rather strong swimmer. He has to be, considering the bulk he has to move.
His fur is a medium length and a moonless night black in color. It is typically wet but when it’s not it’s a very smooth texture, although somewhat ruffled a lot of the time. Sharpstar doesn’t take too much time preening or keeping a good appearance. Not to say he’s sloppy per-se, but he doesn’t really care to keep all his fur in line. There are certainly more pressing matters.
Sharpstar is aptly named for the sharper than normal teeth that his rather large mouth possesses. His eyes burn a bright green and seem to unnerve some with their unblinking, unwavering stare. Sharpstar certainly doesn’t look like a force one would wish to mess with, but who knows, there’s likely bigger and badder cats out there… Somewhere.
The only real distinguishing markings that Sharpstar has is a nick in his right ear from a battle that didn’t quite end up as well as he would have liked. Then again… You should see the other cat.
Personality: Sharpstar really doesn’t completely live up to his size when it comes to his personality. He’s not a fighter by choice. This is not to say that he is a pushover, oh most certainly not. He can fight just fine. But he will take another way out if such a way presents itself. Sharpstar is no brute. He would much rather find a way of solving problems that doesn’t involve bloodshed. If those he cares about are in danger, however, he will fight tooth and claw to defend them, to his dying breath for some. But for the most part, Sharpstar truly is a gentle giant.
Sharpstar is intensely loyal to his clan. He loves them more than any other and would defend them to the end if it were necessary. He fights and hunts well to keep his clan safe and tries to stay on the good side of them whenever possible. Sharpstar is a big softie when it comes to kits. It’s often that he is found just outside the Nursery playing with the bigger kits, and volunteering for kit-sitting duties when the queens wish to go stretch their legs. With no kits or mate of his own, he might get called on somewhat often. Although with his recent rise to Leadership his kit-sitting has lessened quite a bit.
Sharpstar is rather soft spoken in day to day interactions. He is someone that cats tend to listen to when he speaks. He doesn’t do a lot of idle chatter and tends to get right to the point if he deems it necessary to talk to others. He’s not one to avoid sharing tongues with others, but he would much prefer to remain silent and allow someone else to tell him all about their day rather than to bore them with the details of his own.
Sharpstar is not the most confidant of cats. One wouldn’t necessarily be able to tell by looking at him or talking to him, but he doesn’t feel he was the right choice to lead Riverclan. He understands that he was chosen by the former Leader to follow in his pawsteps, and that as such he holds the clan’s future in his paws. Thus he cannot afford to show his uncertainties to those he leads. Sharpstar is also rather slow to act, especially if violence is at hand. He hates violence and feels that there is usually another way. Yet this is often seen as weakness and it’s possible that this short coming could affect his clan in a negative manner.
History: Sharpstar was born to two lovely Windclan cats. He was born in a litter of three kits and was raised into his late kithood by his loving mother and watched by his doting father as he grew into a strong and sure kit. Sharpkit, as he was known then, ruled the Nursery with a gentle paw. He was boss and top kit around and no one seemed to question that. His gentle sister Snowkit absolutely loved him more than anything and his brother Deerkit was a little more standoffish and simply didn’t care either way. Sharpkit and Snowkit were nigh inseparable as kitsm close as close could be.
Yet one day the unthinkable happened… Downfur was out showing the kits around the outskirts of camp when Sharpkit got lost! They searched and searched for him but he was gone. Sharpkit always did have a need to explore his surroundings and he had gotten far away from his mother and siblings. Well in his wanderings he found the river. Naturally curiosity plagued the kit and he had to check it out but he slipped! Into the cold water he fell and was washed away, lost to Windclan forever…
But fate was not decided for this little kit… He was found by a single hunting she-cat. Her heart went out to the poor kit and into the river she jumped to save him. It was dangerous but she managed to pull him out and get him to safety. She dried him off and took him back to Riverclan camp. She had just lost her kits and so no one questioned her when she said she had found this kit and was taking him in. Riverclan needed kits… It had not been a good year for them, and technically they weren’t stealing right? Afterall Wrenfeather had rescued the kit… Wrenfeather would never tell the true identity of the kit.
And so it was that Sharpkit grew up in Riverclan, learning their ways and becoming one of them. He always felt that he belonged elsewhere but he was told time and time again that he was a Riverclan kit. It was here the river had brought him, and here that the river meant. So before long he went on thinking he was a Riverclan cat and became as such. Memories of his birthmother and his sister and brother, and even father began fading from his mind.
He became an apprentice to a strong Riverclan tom who taught him the ways of Riverclan, taught him how to fish, taught him how to fight, taught him the Warriors code, taught him everything he needed to know. He grew up a strong and good Riverclan cat. Windclan counted him as lost, never thinking they’d see their little Sharpkit again. But they would… Oh they would… Sharpkit advanced through his training quickly. Soon earning his Warrior name at 12 moons old. Sharpfang… Sharpfang! Yes he was a full Riverclan warrior! He stood his vigil and took his place among the other cats ever so proudly.
Moons later Sharpfang gained his first Apprentice. Little Oakpaw would learn from him, just as he had learned from his mentor. Oh he was thrilled to have his apprentice and would teach her everything he had learned to the best of his ability. And teach her he did! She grew and soaked up every lesson he had to give her and before too long she too earned her warrior name and moved on.
A couple moons later before he received his second apprentice, Sharpfang was approached by their Leader. He was asked to become Deputy of the clan… Deputy… Sharpfang could hardly believe it but he humbly accepted the request of his beloved Leader. And he became her Deputy helping her to the best of his ability to run the clan, and together they kept Riverclan running strong.
Then the next tragedy of his life came about. The end of his beloved Leader’s nine lives… In a rough territory battle, Blackstar lost her last life and went to join Starclan and it is now that Sharpstar has heavily accepted his new responsibility and role as the clan Leader. The clan mourns the loss of their Leader. Sharpstar mourns it in his own silent and brooding manner alone in the Leader’s den that once held her… He doesn’t know why Starclan took her… He still had so much to learn! But he would lead his clan as best he can… Yes. His clan. That was what Riverclan had become. He had grown up here and as far as he was concerned it was his clan no matter the origins of his birth, of which he doesn’t recall. But this is where we find Sharpstar, just ready to take up his Leadership and lead his clan into its future.
