Crystalfur

Crystalfur is a tall, light gray, almost silver mottled she-cat with blue, teal eyes. She has black splotches across her back down across her bushy tail.
Crystalfur was a warrior under Thornstar's and Moonstar's leadership in the forest territories. She was born as Crystalkit to Thornstar and Ebonysong. Initially, Crystalpaw was apprenticed to Panthertail; and deeply contrasted his strict attitudes and behaviours with eagerness and stubborness, she also became close friends with Goldenpaw. After earning her warrior name, Crystalfur it was obvious that her and Goldenstorm felt something for each other, and were on their way towards becoming mates. 
After Clawstar became leader, Crystalfur was exiled alongside Goldenstorm, Dapplepaw and Smallcloud. The three, alongside Leafstep, formed a pact and Crystalfur bonded a lot with Goldenstorm during their time as loners. Angered by the death of her mother, Crystalfur leapt in to protect Goldenstorm, and was slain by Clawstar. She ascended to StarClan and particularly appeared in Goldenstar's dreams. She then gave Goldenstar a life for justice and particularly supported Smallcloud during her struggles with Rosepaw, forming a close friendship with the she-cat. 
==History==
===In the Storm of Secrets arc===
:Crystalpaw is a ThunderClan apprentice with Panthertail as her mentor. She is a feisty yet loyal she-cat, eventually, she becomes close with Goldenpaw after he becomes an apprentice and the two go on his first gathering together. During the gathering, they meet Smallpaw and some of the other clan cats. After getting back, Crystalpaw encourages Goldenpaw to sneak out and the two do so, and scatter into an abandoned fox den. However, the two get chased by a fox, and get in trouble by their mentors. The next morning, they're put on a duty to clean the elder's ticks, and Crystalpaw states she feels embarassed. The two talk a little about their mentors despite the elder's complaints, and Goldenpaw mentions how Clawblaze has been, which worries Crystalpaw. The two decide to follow the warrior, before noticing Leafpaw get struck by a two-leg monster. Crystalpaw is extremely sympathetic, and feels guilty. She also participates in a badger attack in camp, getting moderately injured.
:Towards the end of her apprenticeship, Thornstar dies due to unknown complications and Crystalpaw is deeply saddened, but is comforted by Ebonysong and Goldenpaw. The next night, she receives her warrior name, Crystalfur. Crystalfur and Goldenstorm become increasingly close as warriors, but their suspicion of Clawblaze grows. Furthermore, Crystalfur is extremely motivated by seeing the eagerness that her brother has towards adventure, Dapplepaw. After a sudden camp fire, Crystalfur is alerted by the fact that Goldenstorm still hadn't left the camp and she runs in to save him, pulling him away from the fire. After Moonstar dies, Crystalfur proceeds to scold Clawstar, and is exiled alongside Smallcloud, Goldenstorm and Dapplepaw. The cats leave the clan, and form an alliance as loners- residing in an abandoned fox den while they come up with a plan to overthrow Clawstar. However, during this time, Crystalfur finds out that her mother had been starved by Clawstar to death, and she gets extremely frustrated and upset. She attempts to calm down Dapplepaw, too. 
:She sets out to find some food with Goldenstorm for the group, and the two end up discussing their feelings for one another, and when Goldenstorm asks her to be his mate, she states that they should wait until everything has calmed down. The two end up catching a shrew, before running back to the group. Later that night, Crystalfur sneaks out of her den in order to find Leafstep, who informs her that there would be a gathering the next day. Crystalfur informs the group, and waits it out. However, she also suspects that Smallcloud may have some lingering feelings for Leafstep. During the gathering, Goldenstorm ends up provoking a fight between the Clans, and due to the clouds covering the moon, is alarmed by the fact that StarClan is furious. He manages to run away with Crystalfur, and the two are found by a vengeful Clawstar. He leaps at Goldenstorm, but Crystalfur holds him back, pinning him to the floor and getting struck in the neck. After he is chased away by Smallcloud, Crystalfur slowly bleeds out and speaks her final words to Goldenstorm, ascending to StarClan.
:In StarClan, Crystalfur visits Goldenstorm in his dreams that night, encouraging him to turn the clan against Clawstar. The two share a moment together, before Goldenstorm notices her spirit looking down at him as he stops himself from tumbling into the river. During his nine live ceremony, Crystalfur gives him his eighth life, and expresses sadness towards the way that things had ended for them. She usually guides the cats in the group, such as Dawnflight when she stresses over the loss of her litter. However, Crystalfur also prevents Smallcloud from taking Panthertail's life, and later on, guides her when she needs support with an unconscious Leafstep. Upon a discussion the two have during the night, Crystalfur expresses sadness upon the fact that Goldenstar had moved on so quickly with Owlbream, and wonders what a future with him could've looked like.
===In the A Vision of Stars arc===
: When she realises Goldenstar's travels to the Dark Forest, she proceeds to scold him, unbeknownst to his true intentions. She dedicates herself to defending Smallcloud, but is stopped upon realising that Goldenstar believes something is truly wrong with the forest. She states that she wants no part in it, and leaves Smallcloud and Goldenstar to their own devices. Later on, after Goldenstar's death, Smallcloud sees Crystalfur staring at a starlit lake in StarClan, her eyes filled with grief. However, she states that perhaps it was for the better, and that she'll stand besides Smallcloud no matter what.
