## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

Wolf joins the grotto camp in the pine forest. Wolf hisses at Frozenpool when she can't go out to hunt as she doesn't know how. As Wolfpaw looks for her mentor after the ceremony, she proudly unsheathes her claws and asks her mentor Sunstar when they can begin training. Wolfpaw practices battle training with Sundream while catching an adder, her first prey. A patrol of Brambleheart, Elmflight, Pinepath, Mudspots, and Wolfpaw is surprised to find "rogues" at Riverclaws and are beaten back with no major injuries, not understanding why they saw Salmonheart there or why they some two former apprentices there.

The night before, Fallenstreak and Sunstar agreed to send a warning about the rogues to EagleClan and agreed to send Wolfpaw, who Fallenstreak had to tell in the morning after he was bitten by a snake a lost of life. Wolfpaw is somewhat hesitant but knowing her mentor is injured and that it's a good way to prove herself, she agrees. While on her journey to EagleClan, Wolfpaw encounters a raccoon and, showing bravery, scares it off. Sunstar is proud of Wolfpaw as she explains she told Eaglestar, who shrugged it off as the rest of the Clan returned just in time.

Wolfpaw, seeing Sunstar storm off from the center of the gathering, decides to catch a lizard, giving it to him and feeling pride as he thanks her and praises her skill. Sunstar taking Brambleheart, Wolfpaw, and Prancepelt to back up Fallenstreak confronts the "Rogue group" Only to find out they are a Clan living in the marshes and beaches, which quickly leads to a battle SunClan wins after Sunstar defeats Driftstar himself. Sunstar calls the Clan victoriously; he talks about the Clan's strength, promising to fight for Riverclaws and his Clan's right to survive, starting with new warriors. he calls up Wolfpaw, eyes shining, and sees tears for the first time fall from her eyes as she is named Wolfshard for her endurance and tenacity.

Shortly after the apprentice ceremonies, SunClan split into patrols and shared tongues. Eaglestar rushed the older but smaller warrior Snowspeck next to a shocked Wolfshard, who attempted an attack before being battered away like prey by the leader. Goldenleaf attempts to drag the heavily injured Wolfshard into her den but is followed by Frostheart, who attacks the medicine cat, clawing her back.

After talking to Maplepelt, Mudspots sneaks from the gathering, meeting up with Wolfshard, whom he had promised to meet up with. He expressed his remorse she had to stay in camp and didn't get to meet Maplepelt but Wolfshard says it's fine. As both look up at the sky, Wolflshard says she wonders what StarClan has in store for the Clans with the SunClan and EagleClan conflict and Sunstar's family, Mudspots says he doesn't know, but whatever he wants to face with her as she blushes both nuzzles into each other happily.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Wolfshard is a very strange cat. Wolfshard is easily annoyed, doesn't like it when cats waste her time, and are very sharp-tongued and sassy. Wolfshard likes exploring and wandering, feeling joy in seeing the world's beauty, and admires nature. Due to this, she dislikes kittypets and believes they cannot see the world like wild cats. She can also be very sluggish but will be up to any task she has to do. Wolfshard feels a general need always to prove she's valuable, and to do this, she feels the need to do things and feels ashamed and unimportant when she fails.

### **Mudspots**

Wolfshard is Mudspot's mate; Wolfshard at first was annoyed that Mudspots and Pinepath had been made warriors as they were only two moons apart, but she had no skill in anything at the time. This grudge ends at the first battle, where Mudspots helps her when she isn't injured, is going through shock, and helps her recover her pride and erase her feeling of failure from losing the battle. At the same time, she tells him that he also matters and helps him with his fits of rage, and while they can argue and be hotheaded, they are pretty compatible. Due to this, it didn't take long for them to develop feelings for each other, which were acted upon after the EagleClan invasion; Wolfshard's injuries prevented them from going to her first gathering as a warrior, and Mudspots told her to sneak out and confess to her happiness. These two cats may be a destructive couple but are caring ones.

### **Goldenleaf**

Wolfshard is Goldenleaf's best friend; at first, what caused Goldenleaf and Wolfshard to talk wasn't common interest but just a need for interaction. before Mudspots and Wolfshard started talking, she didn't really have anyone to talk to, while Goldenleaf didn't either as she threw herself into work. While at first, Goldenleaf was slightly annoyed when Wolfpaw entered her den regularly, she liked to talk to her as it took her mind off work. While their personality could differ, they soon liked talking about their days with Goldenleaf, even showing Wolfpaw how to use herbs. The relationship really rocketed when Wolfpaw felt like a failure for running away in the first battle at the Riverclaws. However, Goldenleaf assured her of her strength and confided in her fears, cementing their friendship.
