Alderstar

== Description ==
Alderstar is a handsome reddish-brown and white tabby tom with emerald green eyes. There are three long claw marks on his throat given to him by Honeyfang. He has two deep scars on his throat from Balian. He has a small precise scar that cuts through his leader mark. His left ear has been torn by a dog.
== Personality ==
Alderstar is kind and loyal. He is just a good cat overall. He does doubt himself but doesn’t let that affect him in the clan. He is also very indecisive... he can’t make decisions to save his life. He can be like a fatherly figure to those younger. He, after thinking a lot more, doesn't believe fighting will solve most problems, however he believes it is good to fight when there is really no other choice. 
== History ==
He was close with his brother, Adderkit, when he was younger. His brother and mother ended up dying of an illness. Alderpaw was quite sickly for a while during his apprenticeship due to the illness and he began doubting if he would be good as a warrior. When he earned his warrior name, he earned the suffix -flame, like his mother. He became deputy of ThunderClan shortly after talking with a few cats. Wildpaw chose him as deputy. This caused him to feel a bit of doubt in his abilities. He brought his concerns to Oakstar who then comforted him. Oakstar had Alderflame propose giving the Shining Rocks to RiverClan during leafbare. Afterwards Rainstar called him to talk about the proposition at the Owl Tree. Alderflame tried his best to not set her off and make her feel offended. He and Rainstar left the Owl Tree unscathed. Alderflame talked to Brindlerose three moons after she had her kits and told her to keep taking care of herself despite her having issues with Oakstar and cutting it off from him. He recently spoke with Oakstar at the falls. He confessed his feelings to Oakstar, who seemed to reciprocate those feelings however he couldn't bring himself to betray Amberhawk. He hasn't seen Amberhawk in a while. He recently went to the Great Sycamore. Shellpaw approached him and asked him a question relating to joining another Clan. Shellpaw ranted to Alderflame about herself and her life. After this conversation, Alderflame sort of 'adopted' Shellpaw. When Oakstar retired and became Oakfang he became leader. Shortly after he received his lives, but was surprised that he only saw two ThunderClan cats... not to mention given a life by Shiningstar. He is now Alderstar.
He met Rainstar shortly after gaining his lives. He had a small conversation with her, trying his hardest to break her shell. He simply doesn't want to be enemies.
He met a cat named Harpie, a kittypet who got lost, in The Great Sycamore. Not much happened, but he told her a bit about the clans and what happened in them. He ran into Russetsong in the forest and had a small conversation with her.
One day he found Pinkpoppy at the treecut place, who told him a lot about the current situation with twolegs taking cats. Shortly after he spoke with Brindlerose again where he finally admitted he saw her as a sister. They then promised to tolerate the flirts of the clan, Pinkpoppy and Scorchstorm.
He ran into a strange cat in the Great Sycamore, they smelled of ShadowClan. The cat attacked Alderstar and lead him to the Thunderpath on the ThC-ShC border. The cat attacked him again, slashing at his throat, thus making him lose one of his lives. Filled with rage, he attacked back with much ferocity. He ended up tearing at her chest and driving the intruder away.
Recently he was out on a hunting trip on his own, but he soon heard a yowl. He ran into a rogue and sadly saw Rowancloud get murdered. He was angry and pounced at the tom, but the rogue clamped his maw on Alderstar's throat killing him. Before he died, he noticed his former mate Amberhawk next to the rogue. Amberhawk didn't help. He feels angry, like never before.

“The snakes are both RiverClan’s and ThunderClan’s problem. The snakes could possibly hurt or even kill a cat. Perhaps they may even migrate further away from the Shining Rocks, encroaching onto RiverClan and ThunderClan territory. This could seriously end up hurting some cat. Again, I do not wish to insult you or your clan. I am just doing my duties as deputy.” - To Rainstar at the Owl Tree.
“At least you met that she-cat you were talking about, you can talk to her about that. You can meet at the borders, or in neutral territory. You need a good friend, Shellpaw. You need to be careful, though. I’ll try my best to cover up for you, Shellpaw.” - To Shellpaw at the Great Sycamore.
