Gingerstar

**Gingerstar** is a ginger-colored tom with bright-green eyes.

Born as **Ginger** to a she-cat kittypet. Was a 'scaredy-cat' when he was young; his housefolk adopted a bunch of kittens and Ginger made friends with them. He also grew to love Violet the most, and he disliked Cloud. He has always wanted to be free and wild, and when he told Violet that, she decided that the both of them should leave and become strays.

At first, it was fun; they were able to do anything that they wanted! But then, they became hungry and cold, Violet wanted to go home. Ginger had to keep her away from the other humans, so he led her into the forest; and bumped into a tree! There were a bunch of trees and flowers, birds and bushes, mice and water! They were finally free!! They soon bumped into Raven'pelt, the Medicine-cat of RavenClan. They soon joined the clan and Ginger became **Ginger'paw**.
