Rosestar

## Appearance & Personality

Rosestar is a bubbly, cute somali cat with fiery blue eyes. She is very bulky, and is more on the tank side than a fighter side. She has quite long fur that gets lighter as it goes towards her chest, stomach, and under tail area. She has flecks of white resembling freckles on her face, and her back left paw is the same outstanding white along with a portion of the base of her tail. Her chest bears the same freckle like features, as does her stomach. She has a bright peach colored nose, as are her paw pads.

She is very resilient, and quite the ambitious she-cat. Wanting to prove her worth in a clan full of hard working warriors, she tends to try her best on patrols and during hunting. Rosestar is normally a bubbly she, but her temper remains quite the mystery to most. Though, if someone tends to cross her lines, she holds extreme grudges, and her anger can be almost unfathomable to most. She can become very vengeful, and depending on situations might try to do something about it. However, she inwardly is a very soft cat and normally cannot rough someone up to the point of beyond recovery.

## Brief History

Rose was born to a kittypet somali she cat named Empress. She was raised in a twoleg home till four moons where she was passed to her father to be raised as a warrior in broken ThunderClan. In the time the clans were forming, her father died, and she became a warrior. She later dedicated herself to her duties, and proved herself worthy in Icestar's eyes to become the first deputy of ThunderClan.

## Detailed History

**Kithood**

Rose was born to Empress, who kept her around her three siblings Lily, Marigold and Iris until she was about four moons. It was then that Empress had made the tough decision to give up one of her kits to Lichenfur. Her reasoning was quite lost on Lichenfur, as they were pure-bred cats, she knew they'd be put into shows and to be show cats. The life was tough, and she knew it was a life not meant for the ferocious kit she saw within Rose. Always battling her littermates, looking for a brawl. She saw it to be better she sent her with her father. As she gave up Rose, the two cats decided it would be best that they parted ways. Though it saddened her deeply, Empress knew she could no longer live the life of romance and love, and it was time for her to focus on her career of being a show-cat. Lichenfur, ever the confused tomcat, saw it only as her losing her feelings. They had their time and it was now over, and he could accept that. Lichenfur loved Empress dearly, and she him, but their relationship strained Lichenfur's home and he knew he was not cut for the kittypet life, nor Empress a warriors. He took his love for their relationship and poured it into his daughter, the newly named Rosekit. He spent every moment he could with her, sharing prey, telling her the stories of his patrols, and inspiring her be the best warrior she could be. Their relationship was extremely close, and most could see how truly in love with Rosekit Lichenfur was. Whether it was playing badger, or hide and seek.

**Apprenticeship**

She grew up in broken ThunderClan with her father, and they were quite the close pair. She looked up to her father, very much so, and was devastated when his life was taken in a border fight. She went on to train without him, becoming much stronger and isolated than she was before. She didn't make many friends, and mostly snapped at those near her.

**Warriorhood**

After receiving her full name, Rosebeam became much more open and had long since decided to stop letting her father's death deter her social skills so much. She became friends with a tom named Bramblesnap during a patrol that she'd orchestrated in hopes of impressing Icestar. During this patrol, she found a fondness for her clanmate she had yet to find in anyone else. As time went on, the two continued to go on nightly patrols, hunt together, and settle down to eat together. As they did this, over time Rosebeam found herself falling more and more for the tom.

During a patrol with Icestar, she found scents of WindClan crossing the border and was immensely for driving them out, or better, sending them a message. This mostly fell to deaf ears, though was a telling trait that carried out through her future leadership. During another patrol, she'd stumbled across a small ShadowClan apprentice. He claimed he was lonely, had no friend, and was mentorless, so he'd attacked her to prove he was capable of having Graystar as his mentor. Rosebeam had brushed him off, knocking him around only for a moment to show that he is still only a kid. He apologized soon after, and Rosebeam told him to scram, warning if he did the same again she wouldn't be so forgiving.

Her warriorhood mostly consisted of wearing herself out on patrols, trying her best to impress Icestar. And it all paid off when, one fateful night, Icestar called upon her to take the place as her deputy. Rosebeam happily obliged, vowing she'd never let ThunderClan become weak, and to always serve them until her dying breath.

**Deputy**

Rosebeam was a fierce deputy. She would never give an inch, and she found her rival in a tom named Goldeneye. He was a slothful tom, finding more entertainment in angering Rosebeam than complying with his obligations. She quickly became angered with him, her strength and constitution as a deputy being tested. Often points, she'd almost physically attacked the tom, especially when he'd pick on an apprentice named Sunnypaw. She jumped to defend the smaller she-cat, and would look at her as her own apprentice. She knew Sunnypaw looked to her as her mentor, with her awestruck gaze, and how much wonder she held as Rosebeam spoke. She held the apprentice close to her heart, being reminded of herself when she was a kit, listening to her fathers tales.

During the time of the median, Rosebeam had given birth to her and Bramblesnaps kits, Gleamingpaw and Shimmerpaw. In the chaos of it all, she became quite the overprotective mom, often times rushing to the nursery to make sure her kits were still sleeping peacefully in their nests after every patrol.
