Hawkstar

=== Description ===
Hawkstar is a medium-sized short-furred tomcat with a pale golden coat and bright green eyes. He is tall for an Eagleclan cat, but still slender in build. He has a large scar across his throat, following his first death.
Hawkstar is the current leader of Eagleclan. He was made deputy very shortly before Duststar's disappearance, leading him to be one of the youngest leaders the clan had ever seen. He received his nine lives only two seasons after being made deputy. Due to his inexperience and youth, Hawkstar is sometimes not granted the same respect as his fellow leaders, and leans heavily on his deputy, Crowsong, for support. He is gaining confidence as time passes, and his cocky facade functions to cover up his true anxieties.
=== History ===
Hawkstar was made deputy in a surprise turn of events following the previous deputy's death. While most Eagleclanners expected Crowsong to be made deputy, the position instead went to the younger Hawkwatcher. Though, no one dared challenge Duststar's judgement. When Duststar disappeared without a trace, Starclan granted Hawkwatcher his nine lives with little argument. 
Hawkstar surrounded himself with the cats he trusted most, finding comfort in this unfamiliar situation. He was always more inclined towards compassion than other cats, even those within his own clan, and is sometimes criticised for his laid-back approach to leadership. He defended Cedarskip despite her attacks on Summitclan, he welcomed Lilyfawn as an Eagleclan cat after Mireclan exiled her, he passed the law permitting Medics to have families. He continually places trust and compassion above a stricter rule. 
Hawkstar lead an attack on Mireclan when they took Snaprattle hostage, and fought Heronstar alongside Crowsong. Together, they managed to take one of Heronstar's lives, at the cost of one of Hawkstar's own. Hawkstar goes to great extents to protect his clanmates, even when he puts himself at risk. 
=== Relationships ===
Hawkstar places great importance in his relationships, a value which sometimes clashes with his position and responsibilities as leader. Naturally, being a sociable and outgoing tom, Hawkstar developed multiple friendships during his life, such as Tanglesnap and Robinchirp. Later on, Hawkstar would also befriend the younger, Snaprattle, a warrior who he cares so deeply for that he sees him as a brother, much like he does for Robinchirp. Despite Hawkstar's multitude of close relationships, Crowsong and Tanglesnap are the only clanmates he feels safe enough confiding in regarding his worries and inadequacies as a leader.
