## Appearance and Personality

#### Appearance

Mallowstar was a dilute tortoiseshell she-cat with short, spiky fur. Her front paws were white and so was her muzzle and a splash of white on her chest. Her eyes were gold-green.

#### Personality

Mallowstar's title as Mallowstar the Proud was well-earned. Prideful, strong, and unwilling to let go of a grudge, Mallowstar grew to be one of the most respected cats in the Clans. She was very traditional and every warrior name she gave had meaning behind it, anything from being the name of a former Clanmate to something integral to the cat's personality. But she never gave an empty name. Basically, she's fab and I love her.

## Story

Heck it, she gets sections. I can't think straight like this.

#### Kithood

Mallowkit was born in FallClan. Her father, Raggedfur, died when she was very young and her only littermate, a she-cat named Mintkit, died when they were only a few days old. Her mother, Nettleflake, was proud and strong, though, and raised her to be the same way.

#### Apprenticeship

Mallowpaw was apprenticed to Darkflight. She was bright and attentive, quick to learn and, though a bit bossy, she got along well with her denmates.

During the later half of her apprenticeship, lightning struck FallClan's camp. Mallowpaw went back for one of her younger denmates, Sagepaw. The two had a strong friendship for the rest of their lives.

#### Warrior Life

For her bravery, Mallowstorm earned her warrior name a moon early. This wasn't enough for Mallowstorm, though, and she was constantly seeking to prove herself.

Sagepaw eventually joined her in the warriors den with the name Sagedazzle and got it in her head that what Mallowstorm needed was a boyfriend. Sagedazzle rather liked playing matchmaker and soon had found a proper mate for her friend: a young MarshClan tom named Breezespot.

Breezespot definitely liked her, but Mallowstorm couldn't be bothered to put her ambitions on pause for a social life. Both Breezespot and Sagedazzle were rather irritated by this. It didn't help when Mallowstorm got an apprentice, Mousepaw, and spent more time training her than hanging out with Sagedazzle. Nettleflake wanted to see her daughter become leader, so she encouraged Mallowstorm in her training of Mousepaw.

By the time Mouseflower was a warrior, the deputy, Stormrunner, was getting old. He had some family in OasisClan he wanted to spend his retirement with, so FallClan was abuzz with one question: who would be his replacement?

Shortly before Stormrunner's official retirement, Nettleflake died. Mallowstorm grieved privately, needing to show a strong front to her Clan. After all, the only thing she could do now was follow the path her mother had wished for.

Her brave front wasn't enough to fool Sagedazzle, though, and the younger warrior set Breezespot to the task of comforting her friend. Breezespot eventually found his way into Mallowstorm's affections and they became mates nine moons after her mother's death.

In those nine moons, though, Stormrunner retired, and Mallowstorm became the new deputy of FallClan. Breezespot also moved permanantly to FallClan in hopes of starting a family with Mallowstorm now that she had accomplished her life's goal.

And start a family they did. Their first litter of kits was born shortly after Mallowstorm was appointed deputy; Thicketkit, Cloudkit, and Larkkit.

The kits grew up and became Thicketblaze, Cloudstream, and Larkwing. Cloudstream even got to train one of his younger sisters, Tansypaw.

Anyways, Mallowstorm and Breezespot were very proud of their kits. Thicketblaze, Cloudstream, and Larkwing were strong warriors, Tansypaw and Blizzardpaw were excelling at training, and Nightpaw was shaping up to be a great medicine cat.

One leafbare, there was a terrible flood. It killed two of Mallowstorm's kits, Larkwing and Tansypaw, as well as taking the leader, Oakstar's, last life.

#### Leadership

And thus Mallowstorm became Mallowstar. She appointed Sagedazzle as her deputy and went to work improving FallClan. She had a long list of things that she wanted to fix and fix them she did. She never truly forgave herself for losing Larkwing and Tansypaw, but she made up for it by protecting the rest of her kits twice as fiercely.

She gave Blizzardpaw the name of Blizzardwing, starting the trend of meaningful names from Mallowstar. Nightpaw became Nightsplash and was a loyal medicine cat for many moons. Mallowstar also had two more kits and, despite Sagedazzle's objections, named them Sagekit and Dazzlekit

Mallowstar fought in the rouge uprising and had a strong alliance with MarshClan. Their leader, Lynxstar, was young and inexperienced and she very much respected Mallowstar. Mallowstar formed a tight friendship with Lynxstar and the two of them remained friends until the day they died.

HorizonClan, though allied with the Clans, was a bit of a problem. Its leader, Gingerstar, was annoying, egotistical, prideful... all traits that Mallowstar also had in some form or fashion and the two leaders never really got along. It never got even close to full-on war, but Gatherings were always rather eventful.

Anyway, Sagedazzle died during one of the battles and Mallowstar named Ducksun her new deputy. Sagepaw and Dazzlepaw earned their full warrior names and Mallowstar decided on Sagestorm and Dazzleclaw, for her kits had fought bravely in the war.

Mallowstar absolutely doted on her grandchildren. Thicketblaze's kits, Doekit and Flamekit, as well as Cloudstream's daughter, Morningkit, were constantly fussed over by their grandparents. Unfortunately, Breezespot died shortly before Nightsplash had kits. As such, she named one of them Breezekit after her father.

Near the end of her life, Mallowstar lost many more friends, including Lynxstar and Cloudstream, and spent more and more time in quiet thought. She secretly wished that Ducksun would retire, for there were many newer warriors she wished could inherit her position. Unfortunately, that was not an option.

Mallowstar got sick just before the birth of the first of her great-grandchildren, Swallowkit, and saw the kit only once before her death. The sickness had also gotten Ducksun, so she was very worried about succession. She told Nightsplash's successor, Brokendusk, that if she and Ducksun both died before naming a new deputy, Wingbreak was to become leader.

Content in the knowledge that her Clan would be cared for, Mallowstar died at the age of 122 moons.
