Coalstar

❝ I'm still the buff matriarch of ShadowClan, am I not? ❞
—Coalstar to Nightmoth.
Coalstar is a smoky-black molly with thick, jagged fur, golden patches, and smoldering orange eyes. She has a muscular build with two broad scars across her neck and a few smaller ones on her left wrist. She is currently the leader of ShadowClan, and her life count is unknown.
==Appearance==
===Description===
Coalstar is stocky in build, but by no means ungraceful. Her jagged fur is primarily a charcoal grey, almost black, but is disturbed by golden patches. A smoky grey gathers around her neck, belly, tail, and even a bit on her hind legs. Her eyes are a sharp orange, and are easily distinguished in the dark. She has two pale scars streaking down the base of her neck, and a few smaller ones around her wrist.

==Personality==
* +  Ardent - Passion is a driving force behind everything that Coalstar does in her life. She executes her duties with enthusiasm and zeal, and won't rest until they are finished and perfected.
* +  Maternal - Coalstar cares deeply for her clan as if they were her own kits. She takes time to bond with each of them, and tries her best to nurture them as well as she can through their life.
* ±  Temperamental - Coalstar's mood can change at the drop of a stone. She can just as easily put on a mellow expression as she can fly into an unstoppable rage, all in a matter of seconds.
* ±  Headstrong - When her mind is made up, Coalstar cannot be swayed even if she were beat up by a group of foxes. She stands her ground, and is open to butt heads with anyone who opposes her.
* −  Distrustful - Due to the previous leaderships before her and how most of them ended, Coalstar is very careful of who she believes. She is very difficult to convince, although this is partially from her headstrong personality. After all, she doesn't want to end up like her predecessors.
* −  Strict - Although she loves her clan, Coalstar demands complete obedience when it comes to serious matters. She promises harsh punishments if a cat steps out of line or questions her authority.

*The nursery
**Coalstar enjoys the serene calm of the nursery and the nostalgia of her youth. She spends much of her free time there, and enjoys taking care of the kits and scratching new stories onto the walls.
*Water
**Strangely enough, Coalstar enjoys spending some of her time swimming and splashing, much unlike a normal ShadowClanner would.
*Moonless nights
**Despite her reverence for the moon, it puts her at ease when it is covered, although it can make her more reckless.

❝ "Don't be," Coalstar replied quietly. "They would've starved your clan eventually, and we would've been next." She stood strongly, despite her injuries. "The pain will fade, and you will live another day," she said finally, nodding to the she-cat before melding back into the crowd towards her clan. ❞
