### Unofficial apprentices:

## Description

A pretty chimera she-cat. Her left half is pure black and right half is orange tabby. Left eye is hazel/yellow and right is green.

## Personality

Halfstar is a very strong-willed and determined she-cat. Although, she is also quite emotional. Halfstar is one to hide all her emotions until she can find a spot to be alone or if somecat she's close to asks what's wrong. If option two happens, she'll probably break down on the spot. Something she also tends to do (but mostly only did in her apprentice moons) is shy away or try to hide from cats who she finds attractive. She's very open to starting new relationships with other cats and she can't really help herself when it's a good-looking tom! Sometimes she can freeze up in front of a lot of cats and may need a moment or two to recover (stage-fright). She can be heard trying to make jokes when in a tense situation or when she's angry to try and calm herself down.

## History

When Halfstar was just a kit, her and her brother were both rejected by their birth mother and were taken in by their aunt, Acornfur. Their birth mother thought of them both as a curse from StarClan, seeing as she had two kits with heterochromia (and one with an additional "fur mutation"). Seeing as Halfstar and her brother have different fathers, it was too much for her mother to handle and eventually gave them up.

In her apprentice moons, Halfstar was extremely insecure about her strange-looking pelt and was often the target of lots of bullying. She would easily be brought to tears and shrink down upon the subject of her pelt. Until she'd spoken with Raccoonstar, one of GladeClan's past leaders, she had begun to slightly ignore the teasing comments about her. This is also when she had begun to grow shy around toms she found attractive and would often hide from them in bushes or tall grass.

Not too long after she was given her Warrior name, she was named deputy. Since then, her relationships with close friends have been growing stronger. She became more determined, especially after the fire that forced the cats out of their camp. She ended up overworking herself until she'd damaged her paw pads by digging out dens and was told to remain in camp by Rosyfreckle.

Soon after the Clan had finally begun to settle down and adjust to living in the LionClan camp, the society was introduced and came in to take over the LionClan camp. Among the group was Canyonstar (or Sun), the Clan's current leader at the time. Seeing as how he was siding with the society, Halfstar was shocked and was considering even leaving to flee to DustClan with Ashcloud and Mudfoot before she was provided with even more concerning news. Canyonstar announced he was stepping down to become an equal among the society, leaving Halfstar as the leader of the now significantly smaller group of GladeClanners. She left with the remaining GladeClanners, having to start over again in the old ash-covered and burnt camp. Later, after a gathering had occurred, she spoke with Ashcloud and asked him if he would like to become her Deputy. Alongside her Warriors,

she was working to rebuild GladeClan from the ground up, working long hours to also distract herself from her thoughts. They had been able to rebuild all the dens and had cleaned up most of the ash from the inside of the camp.

Later, while she was sitting watch outside the camp, Canyonstar (also known as Sun) approached her, telling her she'd better get her lives or risk her entire Clan going leaderless. Frightened, she went to Tinybrook and Robinpaw to recieve her lives from StarClan. Not to her surprise, she only recieved five out of the typical nine lives. She would not tell anyone but her Medicine Cats, Deputy, and Mate. On the way back, they had been ambushed by Hiddenshadow and Sphynx, who ended up killing Tinybrook and injuring herself and Robinpaw. Soon after, she gave Ashcloud his new name and became Mudfoot's mate.

Moons later, she found herself being threatened by the Society leaders Sun, Melody, and Phantom. A little

while later, GladeClan was threatened to be taken over by the same Society leaders. She panicked, but still denied cooperating with the three cats. Thankfully, Ashcloud had enough time to warn GladeClan via messenger, and GladeClan evacuated to CavernClan. She also denied Lionstar's offer of joining their two clans.

After ReedClan and DustClan united to form SeaClan, Halfstar attended the gathering alongside Curlingsmoke,

Cardinalgaze, and Melody. She had started to feel sharp pains from her belly, though brushed it aside as something all she-cats felt during their pregnancies. After the gathering, and a bit of cuddling with Mudfoot, she had asked him to go get a Medicine cat, since the pain was starting to feel abnormal. Cardinalgaze was in the area, and she was there to assist Halfstar with the process of birthing her first litter of kits. The last kit came, and gave Halfstar a bit of a problem (She'd begun to lose too much blood). There, in her nest, she'd lost her first life. Though, she will never regret having her kits.. to her, it was a life well spent.

A few moons later, Halfstar decided she was going to be bringing back GladeClan's legendary tunnelers, appointing a large group of apprentices, kits, and one other Warrior, Bristlehound. The group worked to create a seperate den for cats sick with White or Greencough and dug out many tunnels near the ReedClan border behind the old LionClan camp.. for future plans regarding the Society.

Moons later, the day had arrived. The final battle between GladeClan and the Society which would drive them out for good. Upon arrival, she was almost immediately attacked by one of the Society's leaders: Flare, who took one of her lives. With a swift bite, Halfstar lost a life (and rushed the StarClan cat who was supposed to revive her quickly). They tussled for a while longer, made some witty remarks towards each other, before Flare leapt onto Halfstar and held her down. Halfstar, with her eyes shut tight, was preparing to lose a second before Fadedpath and Curlingstar arrived and threw Flare off. She thanked the two before moving away from the battle for just a moment to catch her breath and recover from the quick revive. Later, once the battle was won, she walked over to Ashcloud (now Ashmoon) with the help of Woollypelt. They all embraced one another in a hug, though it was a little painful. In her mind, they were finally at peace, They finally had the freedom to roam the full extent of their territory, and they finally had the chance to just sit back in the cool grass and relax. She believes these next coming moons will be some of the calmest, and she expects more kits to be born due to the celebration (like New Years babies).

One or two moons later, Halfstar and her mate's firstborn daughter, Pigeonpaw, went missing. The pair stayed out for two days, back to back, searching for any trace left behind by their daughter. They hadn't found a single trace or bit of evidence which would help them figure out where she had gone. It was also during this time that she'd begun to get terrible bellyaches and would sometimes go for a night without eating due to them. She believed this was only because of how much she was worrying over her daughter and quickly tried to shrug it off. The night after their second day of searching, she voiced her concerns about how she was feeling ill to Mudfoot, and after speaking with each other for a while, he asked her if she thought she was expecting their second litter of kits (as the symptoms she'd listed to him sounded very similar to the ones she'd experienced during their first). The both of them were excited, though slightly guilty at the coming good news of a new litter directly after they'd lost their daughter to the forest (it was a rather bittersweet moment). She still hadn't gone to Robinpaw for confirmation, though the feeling being exactly the same as it had for her previous pregnancy seemed to have most likely confirmed it for her, she was having a second litter. (Not as important: Halfstar told Fadedpath at the gathering that she was expecting, due to the DustClan deputy having been concerned about how she was swaying on her paws and seemed a little unsteady.)
