Quietstar

### Enemies

I guess Arcswoop is sort of his enemy, but he didn't really hate the guy. They're more of frenemies.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Quietstar is a tall, sturdy off-white tom with medium-length, soft and fluffy fur, that's a bit hard to tame when tangled. He has splashes of ginger along his pelt, mostly near his spine and head. His eyes are a cool green color.

### Personality

Quietstar is a leader who tries to be professional and formal when he needs to be, but in reality has no idea what he is doing. He was picked out of preference by the former leader, his father. He usually is pretty pessimistic but tries to be positive when the Clan needs it, though he's not very good at it. He despises any negative relations with other Clans and just wants to lead in peace, but he doesn't know how to do that. He's stubborn to the point where it's annoying, and he falls in love way too easily. He's often quiet though, like where his name came from, so most of his personality doesn't shine through unless you pay close attention to his body language.

## Backstory/Life

### Kithood

Quietkit was born alongside his three brothers, Patchkit, Smallkit, and Purrkit. They were born during a brutal leaf-bare, and since his mother Littlebird was so sickly because of it, the medicine cat and his father, Snowwhisker who was the deputy at the time, were shocked the kits had survived.

But two moons later the cold claimed Smallkit, the runt of the litter, and then while playing outside an eagle snatched up Purrkit. Snowwhisker and Littlebird were devastated how fast they lost two kits and grieved heavily, often overlooking and sometimes ignoring the two kits they still had. Patchkit drifted away from his family because of that, getting gradually more angry that his parents 'kept whining about those weaklings' and 'didn't even care about them (being Patch and Quiet)'.

### Apprenticeship

Once they became apprentices, not even a moon after their ceremony Patchpaw just went missing. Quietpaw wasn't very surprised, his brother was always soft of distant and angry to his family, except for Quietpaw, who he was nicer to. It hurt, but it didn't surprise him that his parents didn't care about Patchpaw until he went missing.

Quietpaw got a she-cat named Icemoon as his mentor, and she was like the mother he never had. She was way better than Littlebird ever was at teaching and mothering and she was always very sympathetic and supportive of him, rather than his mother who was surprisingly detached from her children.

When Quietpaw was ten moons old, Patchpaw came back! He was horribly scarred all over his pelt, but he brought some friends he made as a loner deemed Patch, who were all around the same age as the boys. There was Thrush, an elegant she-cat, and Arc, a large tom who was scarred just like Patchpaw. Patchpaw demanded they became Clan members too, so they were taken in and renamed Thrushpaw and Arcpaw.

### Warrior Life

Quietpaw was made a warrior sooner than his brother due to he and his friends needing to catch up on training. He recieved the name Quietwhisper and about four moons later, Patchpaw was Patchscar, Arcpaw was Arcswoop, and Thrushpaw was Thrushbrook.

Quietwhisper didn't want to admit it, but he fell hard for the beautiful young warrior Thrushbrook, who coincidentally, the young Arcswoop had a crush on as well. Patchscar and Arcswoop were known to be easily provoked and that's why Quietwhisper didn't say anything, but luckily Thrushbrook drifted away from them and closer to Quietwhisper who internally freaked out.

When he was sixteen moons old, Quietwhisper took Thrushbrook hunting one day and quietly confessed to her, with a daisy, but when she was about to accept, Arcswoop, who had been listening in, jumped out of the undergrowth and attacked Quietwhisper who was just trying to have a tender moment with his girlfriend. They fought over Thrushbrook for a moment before she tore Arcswoop off of Quietwhisper and threw him into a tree trunk. They got a little worried after a bit since he wasn't responding and took him back to camp.

The medicine cat told Quietwhisper and Thrushbrook that Arcswoop had fractured his leg, and he was almost punished, but Thrushbrook stood up to the leader and insisted it was for self-defense, which let Quietwhisper off the hook. Patchscar was not happy about Quietwhisper hurting his friend and they started to drift away a bit.

Anyways, at twenty moons old, Quietwhisper finally became Thrushbrook's mate, whilst Patchscar found one as well, a she-cat named Orangedove who toned down his angry nature. Due to that Quietwhisper and Patchscar became friends again.

When he was twenty-five moons old, Arcswoop died due to his leg injury getting infected badly and going all sorts of wrong. Patchscar and Thrushbrook grieved hard and Quietwhisper tried to make them feel better, but Patchscar lashed out and told him that he caused the death of Arcswoop and if he hadn't broken his leg he would've been fine.

Thrushbrook defended her quiet, non-confrontational mate and said it wasn't his fault despite her being close to him as well, but Patchscar didn't buy it and Quietwhisper and Patchscar ended up in a brutal fight. It finally ended when Quietwhisper tore off Patchscar's ear, and he was rushed to the medicine den.

Quietwhisper felt so bad for marring another one of his Clanmates, and this time his brother. Thrushbrook tried to comfort him, but he stood outside the medicine den all of the days before Patchscar woke up. Quietwhisper of course couldn't summon up the courage to talk to him, but often brought herbs for the medicine cats to treat his brother with.

When Quietwhisper was twenty-seven moons old Patchscar was released, but they were still on bad terms and didn't talk to each other at all.

At thirty moons old Patchscar became deputy, and despite their bad terms Quietwhisper was proud of him.

Nothing happened for about five moons, life just went on and they got a bit older.

Suddenly, when the brothers were thirty-six moons old, a badger attack struck their Clan and everyone was fighting hard. Thrushbrook was cornered by a badger while protecting the nursery, and Quietwhisper fought with the badger but somehow got pinned down. Patchscar threw himself onto the badger about to kill Quietwhisper, but was terribly wounded in the process and rushed to the medicine den once again after the badgers dispersed and fled.

Quietwhisper was still a little shocked his brother saved him out of the blue but he and his mate stayed with him as he was losing a lot of blood, and Patchscar told his brother he still did love him throughout everything that happened. Quietwhisper and Thrushbrook were there when he died.

So now there was no deputy, and everyone was sad. But whoop-de-doo, to make life *so* much better for Quietwhisper, his father who was now leader made him deputy.

So now he had all this stress on his shoulders, on top of his brother's death. Oh yeah, also, Littlebird died when Quietwhisper was a young warrior, forgot to mention that.

Anyways, Quietwhisper wasn't happy with his current position, and his mate tried to make him feel better about it, but it only got worse when he was forty moons old and his father died. Ohh, boy, now he was leader. He got his lives, as sickening as it was for him, and came back as Quietstar.

Quietstar just did stuff for a few moons, trying to figure out how to be leader and such.

He still loves his mate, of course, and when she proposed the idea of kits when he was forty-four moons old, he didn't really want to at first at the thought of the deaths that could happen like his two kit brothers, Purrkit and Smallkit, but eventually he caved and did it for Thrushbrook.

She was pregnant for two moons and she gave birth at forty-six, to five kits. Three were girls and two were boys.

Now Quietstar is forty-seven moons old and just leading his Clan as carefully as he can without having any experience, and simultaneously trying to visit his mate and kits as much as he can. The poor dude is confused and slightly overworked. Help him.
