Icestar

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.* *"...."*
**Icecrown** is a massive, broad-shouldered, muscular, thin-pelted snow Bengal molly with pale, low saturation blue eyes, almost an ice-blue color. She has very pale rosettes across her back, growing darker around her face and eyes, with massive, thick, wide paws, muscular legs, and a thin, medium-length tail. Her body is adorned with several scars.
**Dark Forest appearance:** Icecrown holds the same traits as before, but following her death, her regular form holds massive icicles impaling through her chest, skull, and throat, with evidence of frost-bite damaging the entirety of her ears, tail, and paws, alongside several other massive, gaping wounds left behind by Silkstar.
**Icecrown** was born to two unknown ancient Rippling Streams' cats. She has served under Emberstar's, Ravenstar's, Chestnutstar's, Ravenstar's (second leadership), Harveststar's, and her own reign. She was a tyrannical, violent cat, who took the teachings of her former mentor very seriously, having it impact the entirety of her life from that moment forward, her desperation only made amplified with each encounter she had with outsiders. She was named Ravenstar's apprentice, and acted as a sort of adoptive daughter to the molly before she gave birth to her first litter of kits. Icecrown was kind to this litter, but she always seemed to struggle with Ravenstar's focus not being completely on her. After the oil spill that claimed the lives of most of Rippling Streams', including all 9 of Ravenstar's lives, Icepaw, an apprentice at the time, briefly lived as a loner, and reluctantly agreed to follow Chestnutstar, before she and the rest of their remaining clan witnessed her and her son's deaths. Breaking off, Icecrown lived briefly in two-leg place, where she took her anger out on any passing outsiders she encountered. Though when Ravenstar returned, Icecrown had stayed close by, enough so that she was one of the first cats rediscovered by her, following her revival. Icecrown was immediately named a warrior, and fell back into the same cycle as before, padding after her mentor like a lost kit, intently taking in each and everything she said. Arrogant and cocky, Icecrown became a forced to be reckoned with when they formed Desolate Tundras by combining with the Tribe in the mountains, growing more and more irritable with the way her clan was working out to be, despite never pinning the blame on the cat who caused it, her own mentor, she did blame most cats for it, specifically those from the Tribe. Due to being overall blood-thirsty, and ignoring Ravenstar in her time of need leading up to her death, she was not considered for the role of deputy, instead side-lined by a tribe cat, who would later become Harveststar, following Ravenstar's death via blood-loss while kitting. Icecrown was furious, taking out her anger outside of camp until an opportunity showed itself, and she took it. Brutally assaulting Harveststar while she was out hunting, Icecrown had managed to take each of her nine lives, and due to being chosen as deputy due to "pity" over losing her former mentor, Icecrown then ascended to her role as leader. She did not change her habits, however, only growing worse and worse and more violent as time went on, intoxicated by the power she was given by Starclan, she even ignored their wishes, letting omens cast her by without a second thought. During her reign, she turned on the Tribe cats in an attempt to punish them for their blood-lines, killing several kits born to clan/tribe cats respectively, and even some older cats as she saw fit, including Ravenstar's own two kits, Chickadeepaw and Jackdawpaw, after she discovered them working against her. She used the two young apprentices to try and manipulate Silkpaw into following her blindly, almost attempting to groom her into what Icestar had once been to Ravenstar, an undying, unrelenting supportive flame. But Silkpaw was only made more determined by all the cruelty being displayed. By the time she was a full warrior, named Silkweave, she'd used the plan her and her siblings had come up with to free cats slowly, taking them out of camp and hiding them away where Icestar could no longer harm them. Unfortunately, she was discovered, and the two immediately broke into a violent battle, one that lasted for several days. Though Silkweave didn't have nine lives, she did have the strength and honor of Starclan on her side, and with the help of Ravenstar, Icestar's lives were slowly drained out of her body, though not before she did a countless number on Silkweave in the process. Though, Silkweave was eventually victorious, able to outlast her in the desolate tundras with her thick, pure-white fur while Icestar froze to death. She immediately went to the Dark Forest, where her -star prefix was taken from her, reverting her back to Icecrown.

## Detailed History

*Ravenstar's Reign*

Ravenlament trained an apprentice during her reign, and fed her information that only the medicine cats and leader should know about, as well as teaching her to treat her clanmates harshly. Icepaw grew to look up to Ravenlament, and when she became leader, Icepaw awaited the day she’d become her deputy. Though during her reign, tragedy struck the clan, harsher than any frozen claws. A famine caused by oil spilling into the lake, killing all the prey and poisoning the formerly healthy. Ravenstar fought long and hard for her clanmates, and was the first to starve to death, over and over again. When her clan dispersed off the territory in search for a new home or food, Ravenstar stayed behind. Her body still lays on the beach where her clan once lived to this day.

Icecrown briefly associated herself with Chestnutstar out of hope for something to come of her remaining clanmates, but following her quick death, the (apprentice at the time) took off into two-leg territory, living as a violent loner who fought with any outsiders who came near her.

When Ravenstar was returned to Earth using a sacrifice of the stars, Icecrown was one of the first cats she rediscovered. Giving her her full name, the two of them moved on together, seeking out their former clanmates to rebuild their lost clan. They discovered a tribe, led by an old tom living in the mountains, one cat by the name of The Moon Preacher. They were welcomed, though not by all cats, and Ravenstar became friends with him and his daughter, Harvester of the Crescent Moon. Once The Moon Preacher died in an accident while out on a walk with Ravenstar and Harvest, Ravenstar saved the life of his daughter, and almost himself. While he died, he granted Ravenstar ownership of him and his cats, sighting her as selfless. She became grateful and confident. She returned with the news and many cats left, though she still had her clanmates, and those of the tribe who appreciated what her and her clanmates had done for them. She made Harvester her deputy, and named her Harveststalker, under her request to become “like a clan cat.” Though Icecrown seemed less than impressed. They merged and became The Clan of Desolate Tundras.

Ravenstar was discovered to be pregnant. One spiritual cat spoke to her, telling her she would not survive if she had these kits, and she continued with them anyway, sighting that they’d look after her clan when she was gone. Harveststalker supported her in her last moments as she struggled giving birth, and her last words were naming her three young kits, Silkkit, Jackdawkit, and Chickadeekit.

*Harveststar's Reign*Harveststar’s reign barely lasted more than a month before she was ambushed and killed by Icecrown for her throne. Before Harveststar chose a deputy, Icecrown followed her out of camp one night and pounced on her, ripping her apart. She washed off in a nearby pool and quickly returned with her body to tell them the news that she’d been “torn apart by a bear, she couldn’t get there in time to save her.” Cats believed her almost instantly, as the snow would’ve masked the scent of a bear on the two of them.

*Icestar's Reign*Icestar’s reign began quickly after she brutally murdered the former leader, Harveststar. She returned with her body and told the story of her tragic death, which cats believed instantly. She gained their respect and she quickly took leadership, much to the relief of the clan cats who’d accompanied them on their journey. Icestar quickly began to ruin what had already begun to work out in their home, the perfect bond between both tribe and clan cats shattered. Icestar discriminated against the tribe cats and forced the clan cats to do the same. She’d brutally beat tribe cats who disagreed with her and she’d exile cats without a second though, even going so far as to bury kittens of tribe and clan cats in the snow until their parents broke free to save them in an attempt to “keep the bloodline pure.” Once of age, Silkpaw and her siblings, Chickadeepaw and Jackdawpaw immediately began to do what they could to support the tribe cats. So much so that at times Jackdawpaw was alone with Icestar, having to use all his strength to keep him from harming a tribe cat. Jackdawpaw was killed, and Icestar forced Silkpaw under her wing, manipulating her into believing it was her fault for her brother’s death, and Chickadeepaw would be next if she did not comply. Silkpaw did what she could to please Icestar, but it wasn’t enough. On the day of Silkpaw’s naming ceremony, Chickadeepaw was killed for looking in Icestar’s direction, and the meeting took place before her body was found. Silkpaw was named Silkweave, and she later discovered the molly, with her blood smeared everywhere as a note for Silkweave, of sorts. Silkweave grew enraged and stood up to Icestar, refusing to let her treachery continue. Silkweave began to escort the cats on her side out of camp and into a cave hollowed out by Silkweave and her siblings, one they’d built when they were younger in the hopes of “saving every cat they could and bringing them here.” Icestar discovered this and attacked Silkweave, only for the molly to overpower her. The two began to fight, and quickly Icestar was pierced by a falling icicle that hung over the top of the den, showing Starclan’s disapproval. She lost four of her lives to this, giving Silkweave enough time to take the rest of her clanmates out of the den. When her back was turned, Icestar awoke and attacked again, though she bled out on top of her, losing her fifth life. Silkweave fought back bravely, and Icecrown chased her across the territory, driving her out forcefully, not taking notice of the lack of support from her clanmates. Silkweave’s fur was stained pink when she killed Icestar for her remaining lives, and quietly she drew together all of her clanmates, and quietly they left the mountains, never to return.

Icecrown then appeared in the Dark Forest, where she was forced to give up her leadership name. She was however given the role of second-in-command for her clear ambition and brutal strength.

## Kin

Her family is mostly entirely unknown. No cat in history really cares to remember anything positive in Icecrown's life. Though, although not known, she is completely blood related to Icyveins, though she doesn't have anything else to do with her in terms of connections.

## Trivia

* Despite Wishwanderer telling the clans that Icecrown had indeed returned to them through the body of Icyveins, this is entirely false and never held any truth. Wishwanderer had been coaxed into saying this by Silkstar, who was aiming to save Icyveins' life.
* Icecrown finds it incredibly satisfying and amusing that the cats of Sunlit Prairies despise her so much, refusing to use so much as her prefix. She often jokes about this, very proud of what all she'd done when discussing her life with other Dark Forest cats.
