## Early Life

Lavenderstar was the founder of LavenderClan and was the former medicine cat of an unknown cat in an unknown clan. She was born and named as Lavenderkit to her mother and father, Daisyfoot and Brighttail, along with two sisters, Rosekit and Violetkit. She was apprenticed by her former mentor Willowlight, her clan's medicine cat, and named Lavenderpaw at the Moonstone used by the clans that inhabited her former territory. Willowlight trained her in the ways of the medicine cat and encouraged Lavenderpaw to grow and expand her knowledge of herbs from the day she started as her apprentice. Eventually, she was said to be renowned for her knowledge of herbs and her healing abilities and was named Lavendertail when she reached the age of 17 moons.

## A Vision Is Shared

At the age of 23 moons, Lavendertail had a vivid vision that told her she was destined for greater things, that she was needed to lead a new clan away from her home. Thus guided by this prophetic vision from StarClan, Lavendertail gathered cats who shared her deep connection with nature and traveled from their ancestral home territories to finally form a clan of their own upon finding the FourClaws territory, naming it after the fragrant lavender that covered their new home.

Lavendertail established LavenderClan and proposed forth a new warrior code similar to the one she had known in her old clan.

## Leading the Clan

Lavendertail was said to bring joy to all cats and had a habit of welcoming any and all cats to LavenderClan in light of the new Twoleg place which was built around the time she was 100 moons. This welcoming nature would inevitably be her downfall as one kittypet she accepted usurped her and drowned her in Serenity Lake. Fortunately, this traitor never took over LavenderClan and many of the cats have grown wiser of signs leading to traitors.

During her life, Lavendertail struggled in establishing her new clan among the other three that settled in the territory not long after her. There were many who criticized her pacifistic nature and her history as a medicine cat, believing her to be an ill-fit leader for her clan and viewing her clan as illegitimate and weak.

As time went on and the clans were finally developed and began to settle in their respective territories, it became ever apparent that there was no Moonstone and no way to contact their ancestors in StarClan. In this time of grief for the clans, wars began to ravage. Not just clan and clan wars, civil wars within the four clans began to arise. The cats turned to their leaders to tell them what to do. Tensions were high. Lavendertail was a good mediator and managed to keep her hold on her clan as its leader despite the unsure time they found themselves in.

## Finding the Moonpool

Soon enough, a meeting was conducted with each of the four leaders beneath the light of a full moon at the new gathering place that had been located. Scouting the lands, they searched everywhere for a Moonstone, somewhere to possibly hold ceremonies and seek guidance from StarClan. Lavendertail suffered much discrimination from Silversnout, the founder of SilverClan, for his belief of her being a weak and unjust leader. The only cat to defend her was Jadewind, the JadeClan founder, who herself was a former medicine cat.

The four leaders discovered a cave located to the Northeast part of the territory where they found fragments of the elusive blue crystal, the Moonstone, but they were dormant and seemed to have been for a long time. No dreams could be shared, no matter how hard they tried. And the clan leaders began growing further bitter and exhausted with their attempts. Lavendertail tried to smooth things over with the others, but was very quickly snapped at and shut down by Silversnout, who struck out at her and gave her a nasty scar on her shoulder. All seemed hopeless and Lavendertail was starting to question whether or not StarClan was right to choose her for this responsibility.

Until the JadeClan leader heard something coming from inside a cave, a voice. Guided by the she-cat, the three other leaders traversed into the cave with her. The cave ran deep underground and, lo and behold, a spring was found. A small lagoon of water sparkling with starlight and glowing in the light of the moon that poured in through an opening in the cavern ceiling being fed by naturally purified groundwater. The Moonpool had been found and Lavendertail rejoiced, praising Jadewind for her incredible intuition. And on that night, each leader was finally able to commune with StarClan, gaining their lives, and finally becoming true leaders of their clans.

Lavendertail was no more, and StarClan hailed her as Lavenderstar forevermore.

## Lavenderstar

Lavenderstar faced many hardships as she was faced now with running a growing clan. Even with the help of her deputy, Briarthistle, and her medicine cats, she found herself worrying about the clan's safety especially with a territory so close to the Twoleg place.
