Tigerstripe HC

## Description

A brown tabby cat with stripes and light spots on their fur and red eyes.

## History / Past

Tigerstripe joined the clans as a warrior. He was going to join ValleyClan but he joined HillClan instead. He met his bestfriend and mate, Silverfeather. They went to their first gathering together moons later. They later had their kits, Coalkit and Owlkit.

Tigerstripe became deputy but then drowned when he was in the ValleyClan lake, he slipped and fell in the cold water, the ice on top made him stuck, everybody tried to get him up but he couldn't swim either, the last cats he saw were his sister and his mate. He sunk deeper into the lake, when they broke the ice, it was too late, he lost all air, he just passed. They scooped up his body, sadly, only finding him dead on the ice.

## Perspective Story

### Introduction to clan life & first gathering

I sniff the air, it's been so long since I've been into the woods, I fled my mother with my sister, Scrawny. She's big, she told me about this "Clan life"? I have no idea what it is- uhm- well- I *had* no idea what it was. She explained to me everything, I want to follow her paw prints and become a clan cat too. Their names are such mouthfuls though! She says her name is Scrawnytail.

I want to be in ValleyClan with my sister, Scrawnytail. I stumble across some random clearing, it'd be nice to settle here, make a TigerClan or something. I think with a rumbling purr of pride. "Hey, cat. What are you doing here?" I hear someone growl, I drop, defensive.

"I'm Tiger, you're in the territory of... TigerClan! Get out." I hiss.

The voice erupted in laughter. "TigerClan?!" He steps out and grins. "I'm Hillstar, and welcome to HillClan." Cat lined up after him, one by one. Huge paws with thorn-sharp claws, and teeth that looked like needles. I shivered in my fur.

"Oh I'm sorry." I murmur. "I am a fighter, and I'm not afraid to fight either!" I look around at the friendly cats, the only remotely unfriendly looking cat was Hillstar, he has more of smug grin then kind.

"Well join us then, ValleyClan and HillClan need more warriors for our alliance." He crows. "You'd be a great addition to the clan."

I feel tempted, like *REALLY* tempted. I shake my head and think of my loving sister, being surprised to see me in ValleyClan. "A kind offer, but no thanks." I frown. "My sister is in ValleyClan, I want to go to ValleyClan with her. I'm kind of tempted though."

"Well then, go." He shrugs. "We already have a lot of warriors already, isn't that right, Silverfeather?" I glance at the gorgeous gray cat, "Yes" she mutters sadly, staring at Tigerstripe, hoping he won't already leave.

"Actually I think I'll stay." He mews blankly.

\* \* \*

The next few moons, him and Silverfeather became best friends. "Would you want to be my mate?" She muttered bashfully. "I know tha-" Tigerstripe, licked her head tuft flat, he knew she was nervous. "Of course, I'm going to my first gathering later, since I haven't been aloud to go the past moon. Maybe by then I can tell my sister I have a mate now." Silverfeather smiled, she was overjoyed.

We sleep in the warriors den and got up in the evening of the next day, getting ready for their first gathering. He stumbled out. When he arrived at the gathering, he immediately noticed his sister. "Hi, Scrawnytail!" He mews. "There's a *LOT* of cats here!"

"*TIGER!*" She whisper yelled among all the other cat's chattering, nervous. "Get out of here, clan cats are dangerous!"

Silverfeather darted up to him. "Who's this, your sister you were talking about, Scrawnytail?" She purred. "Yes it is!" Tigerstripe smiled. "Scrawnytail, meet my mate, Silverfeather. Silverfeather, meet Scrawnytail." The had fun laughing and joking around but before they knew it the gathering was over. "Farewell, sister, I'll see you next gathering."
