Silkstar

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.* *"...."*
**Silkstar** was a massive, snow-white furred molly with fur stained pink from the blood of Icestar, during their vicious battles on the snowy mountains. She has a long scar on her side, staring on her shoulder and running down to her flank that parts the fur on her side, alongside massive slices on her face and muzzle. Her eyes were a rosy pink-purple coloration, with a long, plumy tail and soft, short fur on the rest of her body.
**Silkstar** was born to Ravenstar and Squidspin, two ancient Clan of Desolate Tundras cats. She is well known for releasing the clan's tight grip they were held under by Icestar, and discovering the new territory where Sunlit Prairies resides today. She served under Ravenstar's, Harveststar's, Icestar's, and her own reign.

## Cause of Death †

Killed by infection after battle with the rats in Silkstar's Fall.

## Detailed History

*Icestar's Reign*

Once of age, Silkpaw and her siblings, Chickadeepaw and Jackdawpaw immediately began to do what they could to support the tribe cats. So much so that at times Jackdawpaw was alone with Icestar, having to use all his strength to keep him from harming a tribe cat. Jackdawpaw was killed, and Icestar forced Silkpaw under her wing, manipulating her into believing it was her fault for her brother’s death, and Chickadeepaw would be next if she did not comply. Silkpaw did what she could to please Icestar, but it wasn’t enough. On the day of Silkpaw’s naming ceremony, Chickadeepaw was killed for looking in Icestar’s direction, and the meeting took place before her body was found. Silkpaw was named Silkweave, and she later discovered the molly, with her blood smeared everywhere as a note for Silkweave, of sorts. Silkweave grew enraged and stood up to Icestar, refusing to let her treachery continue. Silkweave began to escort the cats on her side out of camp and into a cave hollowed out by Silkweave and her siblings, one they’d built when they were younger in the hopes of “saving every cat they could and bringing them here.” Icestar discovered this and attacked Silkweave, only for the molly to overpower her. The two began to fight, and quickly Icestar was pierced by a falling icicle that hung over the top of the den, showing Starclan’s disapproval. She lost four of her lives to this, giving Silkweave enough time to take the rest of her clanmates out of the den. When her back was turned, Icestar awoke and attacked again, though she bled out on top of her, losing her fifth life. Silkweave fought back bravely, and Icecrown chased her across the territory, driving her out forcefully, not taking notice of the lack of support from her clanmates. Silkweave’s fur was stained pink when she killed Icestar for her remaining lives, and quietly she drew together all of her clanmates, and quietly they left the mountains, never to return.

*Silkstar's Reign*

After the death of Icestar, Silkweave named herself leader, and rested among her clanmates who sheltered within the territory. Those who once left rejoined the clan, and Silkweave took on her nine lives ceremony before they started out to find a new home. Silkstar was highly respected among the cats for breaking free from Icestar, though many didn’t trust her, and wondered if Icestar had affected her mentally. Silkstar ignored both parties and only focused on doing what she and her siblings promised all those years ago, save their clan and take them somewhere where they’d never struggle again. They travelled for countless seasons, without another thought of the Clan of Falling Skies in their mind. Once they arrived within a forest, far far beyond their original territory, Silkstar was skeptical. She continued to explore to discover a massive broken down structure, once lived in by two-legs, though it now was owned by nature itself. Silkstar claimed this their new territory, as it was kinder on her skin and eyes, due to being albino. They lived here for a few days when rats began to appear, a prey many of them had never seen before. They killed them and the numbers only seemed to increase. Silkstar was horrified and moved her clan out of camp. Though it was a perfect place for them to live, they couldn’t deal with the rats, not just yet. They made sanctuary not much farther away, in a territory named the Grotto of Revision by Fawnfable, the medicine cat. Later on, two apprentices returned to report they found a large meadow with plentiful flowers and beautiful streams, something many believed too good to be true. Silkstar stayed back in the Grotto of Revision and awaited the news. She was told there was in fact a great stretch of land, and more forest all around it as well. Silkstar was impressed, though she knew not to step foot in the moor during the day, she only came to check on her clanmates at night. The cats grew to this schedule and easily adapted, though not all cats appreciated needing to hunt at night, they recognized it was for Silkstar’s safety. The cats surprised her in the warmer months with a festival, where they hunted heavily for her with their plentiful land and brought everything they could to her camp in the Grotto of Revision. They brought other faces as well, kittypets from a far off territory who seemed interested in the life style they held, coming to join to help hunt and even join. Silkstar was mildly interested in this idea, and wondered what usage this may have later on. Her clanmates told her having allies would be important, and with this was birthed the Festival of the Springtide. Rogues and kittypets alike were called about a hero in the forest, a massive molly with fur stained pink from the blood of her great enemy, Icestar. She had pale pink eyes and strikingly bright fur, it was almost impossible to miss her. Cats from far beyond their border came to meet her, and their clan grew greatly, becoming more diverse than ever. One cat to join was a tom named Guppy, later renamed Guppywave by Silkstar, despite her strong desire to change his prefix. He became her deputy after saving her life from a badger, an animal she’d never seen before. Silkstar admired his courage and goofy nature. Silkstar grew weary after all of the visits, but she was thankful for her clanmate's support. Though the unfinished business back in the castle where she desired so heavily to live was nagging at her. With the belief she had more than enough clanmates now to succeed, she instructed her clan back to their first camp in the new territory, the castle. The rat infestation had grown into immense numbers, but so had Silkstar’s clan. They battled long and hard for the territory, leading to a quick victory, but Silkstar’s wounds grew infected quickly, and the molly died fighting off one last rat from the land, after killing so many. Many cats mourned her and they buried her just outside, respecting her memory by naming the territory after her; Silkstar’s Fall.
