Amberstar

Amberstar is a orange-ginger tabby she-cat with warm amber eyes

Amberkit is born to Elkstar and Oatfur along with her littermate Cherrykit. She has two older siblings, Firetail and Brighttail. Amberkit is especially close to her denmates Goldenkit and Sodalitekit along with an apprentice named Rapidpaw. There is a giant flood in the creekclan camp and many cats don‘t make it out. Goldenkit’s father, mother, and littermate all perish in the flood so Oatfur takes care of her.

The clan goes to seek shelter and Breezeclan takes them in. Amberkit is very curious to meet the cats in the Breezeclan nursery and becomes very close with a kit named Bristlekit, who is around the same age as her. They were so close in fact that Amberpaw and Cherrypaw were apprenticed the same day as Bristlepaw. Amberpaw is apprenticed to Silverfrost, Rapidpaw’s mother and Elkstar’s former apprentice.

Amberpaw trains hard in the Breezeclan camp and grew even closer to Goldenpaw and Sodalitekit, as well as Bristlepaw. Rapidpaw warns Amberpaw not to get too close to Bristlepaw because they would have to return to the Creekclan camp soon. However, Amberpaw doesn’t listen to him.

Eventually, Creekclan is ready to move back to their own camp and Amberpaw is very devistatted to leave her friend Bristlepaw. He promises her that they’ll still see each other at gatherings and Amberpaw goes home with her clan.

When they get back, Rapidpaw is given his warrior name Rapidwind and Sodalitepaw and his littermates are made apprentices. Amberpaw still manages to be close to Rapidpaw even though he is a warrior now.

About a quarter moon after Creekclan left to return home, Amberpaw was hunting along the creek that bordered them with Creekclan and saw Bristlepaw there. The two are overjoyed to see each other and Amberpaw then realizes how much she missed her friend . The two agree to meet that night by the border. They do and spend a lot of the night playing together like they did when they were kits. When Amberpaw returns, she is not asleep for long before being awoken by Silverfrost to go on patrol. Cherrypaw notes on how tired she was but Amberpaw says she just had a thorn in her nest.

Amberpaw and Bristlepaw continue to meet up and play almost every night after that. After meeting for a half moon, Rapidwind followed Amberpaw to the meeting place and confronted her afterwards. Amberpaw begs Rapidwind not to tell Silverfrost or Elkstar because of how close they were and he reluctantly agreed, walking away obviously hurt.

Amberpaw continued to meet with Bristlepaw, but she began to notice how Rapidwind became more and more distant with her and she began to miss him, but didn’t want to stop seeing Bristlepaw.

A half moon later, Amberpaw and Bristlepaw are laying beside the river when Bristlepaw tells Amberpaw how much she means to him, and that he loves her, and asks her to run away with him so they could be together. Amberpaw is shocked and tells Bristlepaw she needs time to think about it. Bristlepaw agrees and asks her to let him know within tthe next moon and Amberpaw says she will.

Amberleaf eventually earns her warrior name alongside Cherryleaf. She couldn’t see Bristlepaw that night as she had to keep vigil but all night she noticed Rapidwind watching her. She predicted he was waiting for her to abandon her vigil to go see Bristlepaw.

Amberleaf continues to think about Bristlepaw‘s offer. She loves him very much, but she also can’t imagine leaving her family, friends, and clan. The next night, Amberleaf sees Bristlepaw at the river. He tells her he has earned his warrior name Bristlebush and tells her that in a quarter moon she’ll have had to decide. Amberleaf tells him she’ll have her answer by then and Bristlebush nuzzles her and the two spend the night together by the river.

A few days later, Elkstar, who was on his last life, catches a severe case of greencough a day before the gathering. Leafdapple sadly tells Amberleaf and her family that Elkstar wouldn’t survive. She says that Silverfrost, who was deputy, should lead the clan to the gathering to tell them. Oatfur also tells Firetail and Amberleaf that as the eldest of each of Elkstar’s litters, they should go to the gathering.

At the gathering, Bristlebush and the rest of Breezeclan is very empathetic towards the creekclan cats. Bristlebush rubs his jaw against Amberleaf’s and tells her he‘s there for her and gives her another quarter moon to decide. Amberleaf comes home from the gathering to find out Elkstar had died. She and the rest of her family sat vigil the whole night. Goldenpelt, Sodalitefoot, and Rapidwind were also by Amberleaf’s side the whole night. Amberleaf was surprised Rapidwind sat so close to her, especially because they hadn’t been speaking much. She is grateful for his sympathy.

A few days later, Amberleaf is given an apprentice, Ashpaw. She takes Ashpaw out on a tour of the territory and he manages to catch a mouse with Amberleaf’s help. When they come back, Silverstar comments on how she put the two together because she thought they would make an outstanding team and she was right. Amberleaf also begins to spend more time with Rapidwind.

A few days later, Amberleaf meets Bristlebush beside the river. She tells him she can’t run away from her clan. She had Ashpaw to be a mentor to and her family and clan needed her, especially with grieving for Elkstar. She also tells him they probably shouldn’t meet anymore, as they could get in trouble if they get caught. Bristlebush’s eyes were filled with obvious sadness and hurt, but he tells Amberleaf he understands and that he’ll always love her and if she changes her mind to let him know. The two say goodbye and Amberleaf promises herself to never do it again, for it was against the warrior code and she needed to be loyal to her clan. However, she knew a part of her would always love the Breezeclan tom and wondered if things would be different if they were from the same clan.

Not distracted by Bristlebush anymore, Amberleaf puts all of her time and energy into being the best warrior she can for her clan, including spending extra time with her friends and family. She becomes extremely close to Cherryleaf as well as Goldenpelt and Sodalitefoot, being especially supportive when Goldenpelt's mate Bearfoot dies. Amberleaf also begins to notice how suspicious Clawmark and his group of cats including Darkfoot, Slatefur, and Emeraldshine are, especially when Darkfoot takes a seemingly sudden interest in Goldenpelt.

Amberleaf continues to train Ashpaw and he is getting better every day, and she begins spending more and more time with Rapidwind and he tells Amberleaf he loves her, which Amberleaf tells him she returns the feelings. She thinks about Bristlebush and how he had once said he loved her but knew her love for Rapidwind was stronger than the love she and Bristlebush once shared. The two officially become mates and Ashpaw earns his warrior name Ashfoot.

Not long after, the current deputy Bluenose dies and Silverstar appoints Amberleaf as the new deputy because of how well she is doing and how much effort she put into the clan. Amberleaf brings up her concern of Clawmark and his group to Silverstar and she says she doesn't really trust them either and they should keep an eye on him. Amberleaf also discovers she is expecting kits, which her whole family and all her friends are thrilled about. Silverstar says she can remain deputy but when she comes close to having her kits she'll need a replacement deputy.

Amberleaf and Rapidwind have two sons named Carpkit and Troutkit, and the family is very close. Not long after, Amberleaf finds out that Goldenpelt is expecting Darkfoot's kits. Carppaw and Troutpaw become apprentices not long after and Amberleaf takes up full deputy time again, but she and her mate spend a lot of time with their kits.

Goldenpelt gives birth to two kits, Emberkit and Lightkit, and Amberleaf is shocked by how much Emberkit resembles his father. Sodalitefoot also informs her that his mate Birdsong is expecting kits. One day while taking their kits on a fishing lesson, Carppaw falls in the river and Rapidwind jumps in after him. Carppaw dies almost instantly and Rapidwind died in the medicine den a quarter moon later. Amberleaf is devastated and her son Troutpaw and her become very close and he reminds her so much of her mate both by how he acts and how he looks.

On a patrol, Ashfoot brings a queen and her kits to camp and the queen named Savannah tells them how they were kicked out of their barn and how the kits' father is a Fogclan tom but he said he'd said he'd hurt the kits if she brought them to his territory. Amberleaf convinces Silverstar to let Savannah and her kits stay and the ktis are given the names Leopardkit, Brightkit, and Violet. Ashfoot shows special interest and is like a father to the kits, and she suspects he is also in love with Savannah

Birdsong has four kits but one kit, Honeykit, dies immediately, leaving her with a son named Heronkit and a daughter named Hopekit. Both of Goldenpelt's kits are apprenticed and Amberleaf keeps a close eye on Emberpaw. Amberleaf also recieves Violetpaw as an apprentice not much later.
