## Life

### Kit

Brookstar was born as Brookkit to Sunblaze and Ashenblood in TorrentClan as a sole kit. As a kit, Brookstar was loud and bossy, aiming for the stars.

### Apprentice

Brookkit became Brookpaw at the age of 6 moons by an unknown Warrior. Brookpaw was the only apprentice in her Clan for a large portion of her traning, and was mostly raised by the Warriors. Her parents where distant after Brookpaw had confessed to them about liking she-cat, and not toms. Brookpaw became the lovable little sister for many Warriors.

### Warrior

Brookpaw became Brookfreckle at the age of 12 moons under Lavenderstar's leadership. She was praised for her tactical thinkning and bright mind, and her leader dream grew more and more. Her destiny was to lead the Clan. Brookfreckle soon became friends with a younger Warrior, Quietfire.

Brookfreckle's frist big challange came early in her Warrior-ship, a litter of kits had gone missing, presumably kitnapped by another Clan. Brookfreckle and Quietfire take it on themselfs to find the litter, and tracks them down. During the whole expedition, Brookfreckle devolpes romatic feelings for Quietfire. At first, she it mortefied. She had never told anyone about her liking she-cats after the disaster with her parents. Was it right? Would the Clan still accept her? Could she still be leader? Soon, it all became to much, and Brookfreckle declared her feelings, and was pleasantly suprised when Quietfire returned them. But there was one problem: Quietfire's parents and sister, Mothleaper. They dident like it, not one bit. Brookfreckle was maddly in love and begged Quietfire to be with her, but in the end the she-cat chose her family instead. Brookfreckle was heartbroken.

So, Brookfreckle buried her feelings deep and began working towards her leader-dream. If she could prove herself to Quietfire and her parents, everything would be fine right? The current leader, Lavenderstar, who had crowed Brookfreckle to a Warrior, passed due to old age, and the deputy Lynxtuft acended to leadership. Lynxtuft gained nine lifes and became Lynxstar. The Warrior Webvine was chosen as deputy. Brookfreckle dident let that bring her down.

The next leafbare, both Sunblaze and Ashenblood died in greencough, but Brookfreckle couldent care less. Webvine followed them, and Brookfreckle was appointed deputy by Lynxstar. She had never been this close to her dream.

### Deputy

Brookfreckle's deputyship was shortlived, as Lynxstar had fallen sick a few moons back and had not made a comeback. Brookfreckle's acent was jsut on the horizion, and she began scouting potential deputies. Lynxstar lost her last life due to sickness, and Brookfreckle became Brookstar and gained nine lifes at the age of 55 moons.

### Leader

During Brookstar's leader ceremony, she got a visist from Willowstone The Reincarnator. This would be their first, but certanly not last intreaction. Willowstone told Brookstar to make Snowmask, a young Warrior, her deputy. Snowmask wasent really on her list of potential deputies, but Brookstar listned and when she returned with her title and 9 nine lifes, she did just that. This decision was met with anger. Many deemed Snowmask too young to be deputy, and accused Brookstar of wanting to see her Clan fall apart. TorrentClan was split in two, one side with her and one side against her. Brookstar defended her decision and Snowmask, but did not speak a word about Willowstone. During a gathering, Snowmask was killed. Brookstar was furious, lashing out at the other leaders. Fortunately, Snowmask was brought back by "StarClan", but Brookstar knew that it was Willowstone. This with this insight, Brookstar strengthened her faith in Snowmask. The other Clan leaders did still not approve, but Brookstar was used to that.

Then, Thorne came, and Brookstar's life was thrown up-side-down. Thorne began to kill her Warriors, including Snowmask's sister and Quietfire's parents. Brookstar was left in the dark, not knowing what to do. Then Willowstone visited her again, this time with a prophecy: “A snowflake’s thaw till mend the thorn’s edges.” Willowstone told her to send Snowmask away under an alias to infiltrate Thorne's group. Some protested, mostly Eclipsefur and Snowmask's parents, but he still went. Nightstalk was made the temporary deputy.

With Snowmask away, Brookstar sat still in camp, unable to help in any way. She did not know where Thorne was (or Snowmask for that matter), where she made her camp, how many cats were behind her, what her ultimate goal was or when she was planning her finall attack. Hopeless, useless. She coudent even keep her own Warriros alive.

This time, it was Quietfire that approched Brookstar. Now, there was no disapproving parents, and the two she-cats were good to go. Quietfire's sister, Mothleaper, had regretted her decision to not support her sister and was now on Quietfire's side. Brookstar and Quietfire decided to keep it a secret for a while, until they were both on board with everything. the she-cat did a good job, even though some cats seemed to suspect it. Eventually, Brookstar told Nightstalk, and the deputy promised to not tell anybody, grateful for the trust her leader put in her.

Snowmask's dangerous expedition started to pay off as Brookstar gathered more and more information about Thorne's camp location and info on iduvidual cats. But, Brookstar felt trouble brewing between the Clans. It started with RapidClan launching an attack on SplashClan due to some strange scents along the border. TorrentClan stepped in to help SplashClan, knowing that the scent was probably Thorne stirring up trouble. Later, after RapidClan had launched a revenge attack on TorrentClan, resluting in the death and ressurection, Brookstar began to silently think about forming an alliance with SplashClan. That the two Clans could rely on each other for support against RapidClan, and maybe Thorne, was good. Brookstar had never shared her problems with Thorne, as she dident want TorrentClan to look weak, but she also knew that the other Clans were beginning to question things. Thorne was TorrentClan's business.

The two Clans eventually formed the alliance and made it official, but still, Brookstar still did not tell Hickorystar about Thorne or Snowmask. Brookstar's initial fear of RapidClan shrunk with the forming of the alliance, but after seeing what Steamstar allowed her Warriors to do to cats like Nightstalk, she saw no difference between the leader and Thorne.

Snowmask returned to the Clan, alongside a few cats he had befriended. Brookstar welcomed them and allowed them to stay for how long they wanted.

Brookstar fought on the Clan's side during the final battle and survived. Snowmask passed away, fulfilling Willwostone's prphecy, and Nightstalk was made the permanent deputy. Brookstar fought through the despise and anger from the other leaders after the reveal that Snowmask wasent dead. Brookstar and Quietfire made their relationship official, and Brookstar continued to serve as leader and supported Nightstalk and Onestep's relationship.
