## Appearance

Redstripe is a greyish-blue tom, he has very soft and sleek fur, perhaps a trait inherited form his Riverclan ancestors, he has short legs and hooked, serrated claws, most likely traits from his ancestors. He has a red stripe down his back, hence the name Redstripe. He also has darker blue patches on his fur, on the end of his tail and his paws. Redstripe also has one blue eye and one brown eye.

## Personality

### ***Pre Self-exile***

Redstripe was seen as very careless to what happened in other clans and even his own one. He blindly followed Dreamstar's footsteps and didn't realise what he was doing wrong until Sapfur helped him realise. During this time he lost countless friendships and was the subject of manipulation by Dreamstar.

### ***Self-exile***

This was the time that Redstripe realised how cruel Dreamstar was, he toughened up and refused help from anybody, begrudgingly accepting help from Windclan. He became very distrustful and could only rely on Sapfur

### ***Refugee***

After receiving help from Windclan, he stayed in the camp for the leaf-bare, he became more friendly and open with some of the cats there, Grasspelt was the person he trusted the most, second to Sapfur.

### ***Leader***

When Redstripe became the temporary leader, he made sure every cat was okay and healthy, and when he learnt of the cruel rules that Dreamstar made, he was outraged and quickly removed them.

## History

### ***Pre Self-exile***

Redstripe was born as Redkit to 2 unknown cats, he was raised partially alongside Dreamkit. He was apprenticed at 7 moons after he broke his foot while climbing a tree. He trained as a warrior along side Dreampaw, and befriended Sapkit. Redpaw became Redstripe and Dreampaw became Dreamcatcher. They all grew up very close, alongside their medicine cat friend Blackberry. When Chirpbird was exiled and Dreamstar lost a life, he became more cautious, and began blindly following Dreamstar, no matter what happened.

### ***Self-exile***

After he lost his first life, Dreamstar has changed, becoming more erratic and untrustworthy. Redstripe and Sapfur realised how cruel he became. Sapfur helped Redstripe realise what was wrong and convinced him to leave Thunderclan. Just before they left Dreamstar stripped them of their warrior names, Leaving his as just Red. They left Thunderclan territory and made themselves home in a nook just next to Windclan. They were found by a Windclan patrol, lead by Featherstar himself. Red and Sap were invited to join Windclan temporarily during leaf-bare.

### ***Refugee***

Red begrudgingly accepted and joined the clan, a lot of the cats didn't trust him and he didn't just them back. However he formed a close bond with Grasspelt.
 They stayed with the clan until the confrontation with Dreamstar.

### ***Leader***

After the confrontation, he became Windclan's acting leader, since Dreamstar still had 1 life and he cannot receive his lives from starclan. Sapfur is his deputy
