Thrushstar

Thrushstar is a silver charcoal bengal tom with green eyes. He was the founder and first leader of SteppeClan. 
==Description==
===Physical===
Like all bengal cats, Thrushstar's fur looks similar to that of a leopard's; he has several large, charcoal-black spots on his fur, and his fur shimmers with an eerie, snow-like glow, a reflection of his chilling past. His silver fur does not blend in well in many locations besides the occasional snowfall during leaf-bare, so he is often very recognizable due to his patterns and large size. He has a short, dense coat, allowing him to effectively withstand any winters one may throw at him.
He is known to be quite agile, reflecting his Clan's speediness and generally graceful forms, but also was known to be strong, running with large strides. His stature reflects his breed's nature; he is taller than most cats, and holds a lean body type, despite his broad, muscular shoulders. However, he lacks the ability to climb efficiently; despite his long tail, his balance is less than ideal, and his lack of ability has resulted in more than a few broken bones in the past. What he lacks in balance, however, he makes up for in skill; he is a tough and violent opponent to spar with.
He is known to be alert and have above-average hearing, and despite his shortcomings in climbing, he is most often seen perching atop the tallest hill he can find. He also enjoys water, as he is a near-perfect swimmer, arguably better than some LakeClan cats, but cannot swim quickly, making him a floating duck in water as opposed to a sneaky crocodile. One may particularly pick him out for his eyes; they glow with a coldness that many cats lack, even with chillier colors. His eyes truly complete the stealthy, lean look he has, and losing one... it would make him feel incomplete.

==History==
While not initially born as Thrush, the tom was born in a kittypet household. Quickly becoming disgusted with the lack of excitement, the tomkit escaped almost as soon as he was weaned. Later, it was rumored that he was picked up by some MoonClan cats and adopted into their clan, where he was renamed Thrushpaw.
Thrushpaw lived out a relatively normal apprenticeship; he liked the secrecy that MoonClan kept, but tired quickly of the bound that he felt within the Clan walls. The moment he became a warrior under Moonstar's eyes, known then as Thrushfang, he defected almost instantly. Something about "changing the Clans for the better," and whatnot... though quietly dismissed and not missed much by his Clanmates, he lived a few thought-filled months in the steppes between LakeClan and CliffClan.
Within this period, he encountered a future friend of his: Rufus, and his sister Ginger. The siblings lingered nearby, having been borne from rogue parents, and became quick friends with him. However, he latched specifically onto Rufus; the two became close rather quickly. Some could argue that their relationship was "too close for friends" but both toms would deny this, despite their all-too-close relationship. This would quickly be disturbed, however...
Thrushfang would also meet an important she-cat during this time, and share a brief fling with her. Few of her kits survived; really, he only knew of one: Argent. He quickly lost sight of his one and only daughter, but this was nonetheless caught on by Rufus, who was obviously disturbed by this discovery. The two's relationship was never the same after this, and would only continue to split as Thrushfang developed into leadership.
With the slow gathering of cats to him, Rufus, and Ginger, it became obvious that Thrushfang served as their leader. He quickly formulated the group into the newfound SteppeClan, basing the Clan's ideals on freedom. Finding the system bound, he attempted to push the boundaries of the layout to their limits, then planned to shape that idea to the other Clans. He became hardened and upset with it all, attacking anyone who crossed their borders or broke his trust. This included Argent's mother - though he'd not know that, too blinded by his anger to do so.
Although obvious to all but him, Thrushfang, now Thrushstar, became a corrupt leader rather quickly, though in his eyes he thought he was doing what was best. He wanted his created Clan to be the most powerful, and subsequently the most free one as well, which slowly lead him down a dark path. To discuss a possible path to go on, Rufus, at this point known as Foxfrost, lead him out to CliffClan territory, on a patrol to browse territory.
This patrol began in good intention, but Thrushstar could sense something was off. When the tabby deputy left to mark territory, the bengal leader sensed a rockfall nearby - however, he was unable to escape, and killed in the aftermath. His body was never found, instead smashed under a massive boulder. The next thing the tom knew, he woke up in the Dark Forest; however, he knew that Foxstar had been responsible for his death.
To this day, the bengal tom resides in the Dark Forest, though there are rumors that he might make an appearance once again...
