Nightstar

*Synopsis*

Nightstar is an original character created and role-played by Puzzlin'Kittens. Known as the 2nd leader of CarnationClan, she was the successor of Rosestar and the predecessor of Blazestar. When she first started her reign in CarnationClan, she had been seen as fair, kind, and respectable in nature. However, as her reign went on, her mental state largely declined, and she began acting questionably. Three rebellions were been made to combat her as she grew more and more sinister, with only the last attempt at a rebellion (LeafClan) succeeding in bringing her to an end. She was killed in the final battle between LeafClan and CarnationClan by the paws of Blazefur. Upon her death, Nightstar now resides in the the Dark Forest.

*Appearance*

***Before Death***

**Brief Summary Description**~ A small, black she-cat with a subtle gray underbelly, and yellow eyes. Her left eye is blind.

**Build**~ Nightstar is a “runt,” so she is short and small, very petite. Nightstar has the semi-foreign build.

**Eye Color and Shape**~ Nightstar’s eyes are of the shape called “rounded almond”. Her eyes are of a bright and pale shade of yellow. She has a milky-cloud in her left eye because she’s blind in it.

**Power~**

When Nightstar was alive, she, Snowpaw(cloud), Jupiterstripe and Bluemist each received individual powers from a mysterious pink moonstone.

As a result, while alive (and perhaps even now), Nightstar had the ability to see spirits and sense the different auras in the air, including the balances of good and evil, or "light" and "darkness" of a cat. This would indicate her when other cats were experiencing particular physical sensations or emotions, as well as their intentions. Certain cats could avoid their intentions being revealed only if they were good at hiding it or had a mixture of intentions, often contradictory. Sometimes a cat would have a very mysterious aura, often confusing and frustrating Nightstar.

Certain feelings would also have their own unique effects on Nightstar. If she came across someone who was emitting anger and darkness, Nightstar would often become nauseated. Likewise, if someone was sad or in distress, Nightstar would often get a headache. And the more powerful the feelings were, the greater the effect would have on Nightstar.

Later in Nightstar's life, she discovered by accident that she also had an additional ability to “read minds.” She did this by focusing on the chosen cat and beginning to “listen” to their thoughts. Soon, she would appear in their mind and be able to see whatever was in the cat’s mind. At first, she only felt a “pull,” hearing a murmuring of the cat's thoughts and feeling compelled to focus on them, consequently entering the mind of the cat. But she quickly learned how to do this at will, after the first encounter.

While in the cat's mind, Nightstar's physical form would appear to the outer world as spaced out and despondent. Inside the cat's mind, Nightstar could explore the thoughts and memories of the cat. In one instance, when Nightstar used this ability on Russetfur, Nightstar was able to temporarily manipulate and form a false memory in place of a true memory in Russetfur's mind. After using this ability, Nightstar would snap out of her dissociated state and suffer from after effects, such as: a sharp headache, bloody nose, passing out. The severity of the after effects depended on how long Nightstar used this ability.

The cause of Nightstar's complete dissociation when using her mind reading ability is the disconnection of her soul from her body into the other cat's body. And after repeated use of this ability, it appeared that Nightstar's soul would become increasingly "misaligned" with her own body.

Nightstar appeared to have similar abilities a normal spirit would have, but on an enhanced scale. This might imply that her spirit in the Dark Forest has even more enhanced abilities.

**Summary~**

Nightstar comes off as a calm and balanced cat and usually is. Nightstar is patient as she thinks it gives her much more benefit in the long-run. And something that you’re patient for is much for satisfying. Nightstar is very loyal, though this may be hard to believe, Nightstar doesn’t just give her loyalty to everyone she sees. Nightstar has to find you worthy of her loyalty. Nightstar is also very generous to those around her. She has a great sense of intuition. She is a very easy cat to make understand. Nightstar is also very sympathetic and caring for others, especially her friends. And intelligence comes easily to Nightstar.

On the other hand, Nightstar is also very unforgiving and secretive. She always has more to her than she puts on. She hates being hurt and–while says that she forgives you–never really forgives you; Nightstar is a grudge-holder. And while she may beat you up about something, she’s likely being dishonest about herself! And when she doesn’t get her way, she tries to come up with ways where she can get you to what she wants you to do. And Nightstar is very self-interested. She feels superior to others and will do what will keep herself at an advantage. Nightstar is very suspicious at times. She becomes jealous if she feels that you are doing something to betray her–which usually leads to Nightstar doing something rash.

*Backstory*

Nightstar was born into a Clan whose name remains unknown to the world. She was two moons old, when her parents were taken away from her. She was left with her three siblings: Snakekit, Reflectingkit, and Skykit (though, at that time they were not named, except for Snakekit).

When Nightstar was eight moons old, Skypaw and Snakepaw died from greencough—though, much later in her life, she of course finds out Snakepaw (Snakeheart) did not really die. Nightstar was put into depression when it happened. She had, after all, lost her parents before and now she had lost two of her littermates! After a half moon or so, she began to find ways to cope with her depression, and returned back to her usual self, but she was much angrier and defiant.

When Nightstar was a warrior—about 15 moons old—she had done a few things that she was guilty about (or was she?). She killed a few of her Clanmates. She did it out of revenge for a few unclear things. She was exiled.

When she found CarnationClan, she decided she needed to hide her emotions, and told no one about her past. She thought it would help her from losing control of herself. But it didn’t, she soon lashed out, and when her beloved apprentice, Heavyshadow, had passed away, that was when Nightstar stopped hiding her emotions, and finally spoke up about her troubled past.

Of course, not many know of it anymore. She hasn’t spoke of it since—and she never included every detail anyway. The details she hid were important to what kind of cat Nightstar really is. She never told anyone about the terrible things she had done in the past.

**Snakeheart**- “I can’t believe he would do such a thing! Ugh.” **Trust: 20%**

**Cole**- “I wonder what I saw in you sometimes. I don’t really miss you anymore, neither do I love you.” **Trust: 99%**

**Rosestar**- “Crazy and out of control. I won’t be like her. I’ll be *better.*”

**Bluemist**- “I tried to love her, I really tried. But Bluemist just saw the evil inside of me too soon. Though, maybe it was just for the best. I do best with evil beside me anyway. But... I really do miss Blue.” **Trust: 70%**

**Soulrise**- “She wasn’t a good friend.”

**Mistnose**- “I don’t really miss him. He was a good cat, but he had many flaws as well.”

**Elmshade**- “I don’t miss him. He was such an ass.”

**Cedarleaf**- “Poor cat. She was tormented by her own father for all of her life. She made a good deputy.” **Trust: 90%**

**Frostflower**- “She was okay, but she was also so indecisive. Going off, trying to make a Clan of her own, then begging to come back to CarnationClan, dying days later. She had so much potential she threw away.”

**Heavyshadow**- “He’s in the past. I’ve forgotten about him, and that’s for the best. My love for him was probably just pity.”

**Ivyheart**- “Moody. So moody. I hate her.”

**Twistedoak**- “A good medicine cat. But sadly... an illness just had to rip her life away.” **Trust: 85%**

***Windstorm''''***-*“Probably the best medicine cat besides Bluemist. She was fun while she was alive. It was sad when she died, but now she’s come back as my daughter. I’m glad she gets to live through my daughter.” **Trust: 89%***

**Brokentooth**- “Always so serious. He was a good and loyal warrior though. I respected him.”

**Jupiterstripe**- “Good deputy. He caused lots of problems, but he had good guts, and was very loyal. He did his job well. I wonder why he killed himself.”

**Snowcloud**- “Shattering her spirit had been so fun... I will never forget that night I broke her. I really miss her. It was fun talking to her while it lasted. We had a good connection. I wonder if her void finally gave out?” **Trust: 45%**

**Silverlight**- “I loved him when he broke bad... It was fun breaking him, too—seeing the bad side of him coming out was just irresistable, and even more irresistable when he embraced it. Oh, what happened to him?... I’m just glad I have Blazefur now.” **Trust: 100%**

**Oscar**- “I wish that I didn’t fake my love for him. I was just trying to make his life better for him, but now I see that I made his life worse. He was a mess anyway though, now that I think of it, him ending his own life was probably for the better... And besides... It was kind of fun to play with his emotions like that.” **Trust: 70%**

**Tundraflare**- “I wish she wouldn’t hate me so much, but oh well. She’s probably just jealous of me or something. I respected her nonetheless... Until she ran away.” **Trust: 70%**

**Sootcloud**- “He has anger issues, but he was loyal... Until he ran away.” **Trust: 70%**

**Mistfur**- “She used to be my deputy. I can’t believe she stepped down. Oh, well, but I can’t blame her because she was so terrible at being deputy.” **Trust: 76%**

**Bluewind**- “She came back, and with a few scars, huh? I’m glad she came back. I did miss her. Though, I wish Darkfall had come back instead... But Bluewind will have to do. She’s loyal to me, at least.” **Trust: 95%**

**Darkfall**- “I hate him for running away... Maybe my daughter is better than him after all... She’s stuck by my side. However, there is still that lingering feeling...” **Trust: 80%**

**Firerise**- “I used to love him, but that’s in the past now. Am I going to show him that he was wrong about me? Not anymore. Why should I? I love who I am. I’m so much stronger when I’m evil...” **Trust: 79%**

**Hibiscus**- “What an airhead! I’m glad she’s dead.” **Trust: 0%**

**Crab**- “So rude, but he was smart... At least smarter than his sister. Is it bad that I kind of miss him?” **Trust: 30%**

**Cloudfall**- “I wonder what happened to my poor nephew...” **Trust: 99%**

**Blazefur-**“His thoughts, his mind... He just got a whole lot more sexier. It’s hard to stop thinking about him sometimes. Unlike Silverlight and Firerise, I feel like I’m under some sort of *spell* when I’m around him... It’s hard to explain... it kind of makes me scared.” **Trust: 97%**

**Russetbriar-**“Russetbriar’s got a lot of nerve when it comes to challenging my leadership. It’ll be interesting to see what she does next.” **Trust: 45%**

**Amberviper-**“Stupid cunt. What is she doing making a rebellion against me? Doesn’t she know that the past few times a cat has *tried* to do that, they always failed? Does she think she’s *special?*An *exception?* Well, she’s so wrong... So wrong.” **Trust: 20%**

**Snowflake-**“She’s choosing the wrong side. I hope Blazefur can get her in a position I can exile her too...” **Trust: 30%**
