Sootleap

Sootleap is a smoky dark gray tom with dark amber eyes and a scar on his flank.
Sootleap is a RiverClan elder who has served under Snowstar's, Blackstar's and Fawnstar's leaderships in the forest and mountain territories. He previously served as a temporary deputy under Blackstar and was also a warrior. He was born to Cinnamonheart alongside his sister, Chestnutkit. As Sootleap, he led most of Blackflame's patrols when Blackflame was too busy to, and the two became close friends. He enjoyed his duties, and become a diligent warrior, mentoring Badgerheart before he left for SkyClan. He later briefly mentored Cindersight and Duskflare. 
After Ghostberry joined the Clan, he briefly mentored her and the two became close, eventually becoming mates. They had kits- Mountainkit, Lunarkit, Frostkit, and Basilkit. However, Frostkit was born blind which made Sootleap protective of her. He eventually learned that she was capable on her own and trusted her more. Sootleap became a temporary deputy when Snowstar left on the journey to recruit SkyClan, and became deputy again when Sparktail and Ravenclaw went missing. After Ghostberry's death, Sootleap grieved for her greatly and missed her deeply, but knew that she was watching over him in StarClan with Crookedstep. He became a senior warrior, refusing to retire from his warrior duties until eventually settling as an elder.
