Shrikestar

Shrikethroat drawn by tuila.

Shrikestar is a fit, lithe ThunderClan she-cat with spikey, medium-length fur and a fluffy pointed tail. She is a dark tabby with white patches on her left ear, throat, stomach and back, and bright amber eyes.

She was born Shrikekit to Crowsong, a ShadowClan she-cat, and an unknown young ThunderClan warrior. Her father passed soon after her acceptance into ThunderClan, though his passing never quite bothered Shrikethroat as he was ashamed of her and her half-Clan lineage. The majority of the Clan is unaware of her heritage, though she's not necessarily trying to hide it-- she just doesn't think it's a big deal.

## History

Shrikethroat was born as Shrikekit to Crowsong in Shadowclan during Willowstar's leadership. She was born alongside two other kits, Mosskit and Lionkit, who unfortunately passed away due to an illness. After this tragic event, she mostly kept to her mother over the course of her first couple moons as a kit and didn't want to make friends even nearing apprenticeship. At some point, just prior to becoming an apprentice, her father, an unnamed Thunderclan tom, decided it would be best for her if she continued the rest of her life in Thunderclan and took her to their camp during Rottenstar's leadership.

Soon after Rosestar's appointment to leader, Shrikekit became an apprentice and trained under Rumblepurr. Her father had passed away soon after she became an apprentice, though there was no love lost between them; Shrikepaw wasn't very fond of him as he was ashamed to call her kin due to her half-Clan heritage. Besides this, the majority of her apprenticeship went well and she remains fond of Rumblepurr for mentoring her, as she was a pawful at times; considering she and Maplepaw had awoken a badger and gotten the both of them harmed, resulting in the tear in her left ear.

Not long after the incident with the badger, Shrikepaw was made a warrior and was named Shrikethroat by Rosestar. Soon after receiving her warrior name, she was made the mentor of a new apprentice named Splitpaw, who she mentored to their appointment to a warrior. After Eyeseeker's unfortunate passing, Shrikethroat was appointed deputy of Thunderclan, much to her dismay, as she wasn't interested in Clan politics. She has, however, grown fond of her position as deputy and takes it much more seriously than she lets on.

Cindersky's departure from ThunderClan saddened Shrikethroat deeply, as she looked up to her a lot, despite being older, and missed her during her absence. When she returned, Shrikethroat was beyond delighted and soon after, they became mates, eventually adopting a son, Fidgetpaw.

Then Cinder died and sHrike became leader or something man how did I ever spend this much time on a wiki page. shrike is dead. good riddance

## Personality

Shrikethroat embodies a tired grandmother who has been on this earth for like 32 decades. She acts brash and rude towards most, including her Clanmates, but she does care about her fellow warriors underneath 2000 layers of bitterness and sarcasm.

Despite her status as deputy, Shrikethroat doesn't care much for Clan politics and generally keeps away from StarClan and their prophecies. All in all, she does want what is best for ThunderClan, even if she displays that in a bit of a couldn't-care-less kind of attitude.

Also she doesn't have any brain cells.

## Relationships

**Rosestar**-- She respects her as a leader and appreciates her company, though she is slightly intimidated by her.

**Cindersky**-- Shrike had always looked up to her Clanmate but was often too shy to speak to her and never wanted to bother her. As a senior warrior and deputy in the ranks, however, she's come to appreciate having the she-cat in her life and believes she would be lost without her mate.

**Rumblepurr**-- Holds a lot of respect for him as her former mentor. She tries to pass on all the knowledge he gave her to her own apprentices and tells tales he told her in her apprenticehood.

**Maplewish**-- Despite her sometimes bothersome attitude, she enjoys Maplewish's company and likes to reminisce about when they were apprentices together.

**Tigercloud**-- Considering her infamous reputation, it's no doubt that Shrikethroat is wary of her, even in death. However, she can't help but feel a bit bad for her.

**Twirlpaw**-- She has spoken to her once and enjoys speaking with her. She sees some of herself as an apprentice in the young medicine cat.

**Maplewish**-- Despite her sometimes bothersome attitude, she enjoys Maplewish's company and likes to reminisce about when they were apprentices together.

**Splitbat**-- Her previous apprentice. She saw a lot of potential in them when they were training together.

**Jokepaw**-- From what little interaction they've had together, she just thinks he's a typical annoying Windclan apprentice.
