## Physical Description

Crowstorm is a black tom with blue eyes, white chest and stomach, white toes in front, white paws in back, and white tail tip.

## Personality

Crowstorm is egotistical, hot-headed, snarky, and intelligent. He is analytical when he has the time to be, but if anyone important to him is in danger, he will rush into action. His ambitions seem to control him the most, though, and did not make him the best leader.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Crowstorm is marginally good at every skill a warrior would need. He killed a badger all by himself once. His scent and hearing are superb, though he lost his eyesight later in life. With this, he had to give up hunting after he joined WindClan, and lived the rest of his life as an elder.

## Life

### Kithood

Crowkit was born to Whispheart of ShadowClan and Tigertalon of WindClan. Tigertalon had previously had kits with a kittypet, resulting in Gorsekit, the eventual leader of RiverClan, and three WindClan kits who would all die as warriors.

### Apprenticeship

Crowpaw was apprenticed to the senior warrior, Thicketbreeze. She was tough on him, and worked him as much as she could before he burned out. While on a border patrol, Thicketbreeze and Crowpaw were caught up in a skirmish with ThunderClan. The latter of the two left the battle with a heavily scarred eye and no mentor. Since he was rather experienced already, he was not assigned another mentor--he trained himself. Even before Thicketbreeze had died, he had been rather ambitious. His ambition grew as he trained, resulting him joining the Dark Forest at a very early age.

### Adult Life

Crowkit soon became Crowflight, a full ShadowClan warrior. When Badgerface became leader, she made Soulfur deputy. Unfortunately for Shadowclan, Soulfur died and Crowflight became deputy. Shortly after he also became Badgerstar's mate.

After a while, Badgerstar had her first litter, resulting in Adderkit and Orchidkit. Many difficult moons passed following the birth of these kits, including the battle with RiverClan, where instead of attacking warriors Crowflight attacked a random kit called Tigerkit. After things were more or less peaceful Badgerstar started slowly dying. Crowflight went to a gathering in her place and ended up attacking a 6 moon old apprentice and flirting with Dreamstar of Beachclan while his mate was dying in camp.

Badgerstar and Crowflight had their second litter, Mistkit, Leafkit, and Echokit. Badgerstar died while kitting and asked Furstream to take care of her kits, and Crowflight became leader of ShadowClan. Furstream took care of his kits until Crowflight decided to violate his former mate's wishes more and give them to Stormcloud. He became mates with Stormcloud soon, and made her deputy. Stormcloud gave birth to three kits--Badgerkit, Otterkit, and Willowkit.

He rejoined the Dark Forest in hope of improving his fighting skills, although this would come back to bite him. He was taken over by insanity Dark Forest warriors, and killed many cats from his position, including a queen with newborn kits.

Stormcloud, temporarily weakened by giving birth, was taken by Twolegs, and in an attempt to find her, Crowstar followed her to the Twolegplace. However, when trying to rescue Stormcloud, Crowstar and one of his warriors, Aspenblaze, were kept by some Twolegs. Both feeling very alone, they became mates in order to feel better, and accidentally had kits. After becoming Aspenblaze's mate he neglected his other kits and his kits with Aspenblaze, not noticing or caring as Otterkit and WIllowkit died. Stormcloud escaped from the Twolegs, only to find out her mate had failed to find her, got locked up, and had kits with another cat. Stormcloud refused to forgive him, and she left ShadowClan along with their only surviving kit, ironically Badgerkit.

Many moons passed. Crowstar's half-brother Gorsestar had fallen in the powerful, flooded river when attempting to fish. Crowstar jumped in after him, and promptly hit his head on a rock. Gorsestar clung onto Crowstar and a log. They floated along the river so far that they ended up in the Tribe of Rushing Water. The kind tribe cats healed them, and in return, Crowstar and Gorsestar helped them until they were ready to return. However, in the brief time that they had been in the mountains, Crowstar (in the exact words of his son, Fallen) "missed his session with his mate" and tricked a tribe she-cat Jay into believing he was single. They accidentally had three kits named Shadow, Fallen, and Shell. Things were complicated even further when a heavily-pregnant-again Aspenblaze turned up to find her mate. She almost immediately had her kit, Blazekit.

Crowstar had originally intended to leave Jay to raise the kits alone, but wise Gorsestar persuaded Crowstar to let Jay travel back with them to the Clans. After all, Jay hadn't actually wanted these kits. He neglected Jay and the kits, leading to her eventual death and the kit's abandonment. They hated him so much that when he killed Gorsestar ((Taking one of his lives)) They helped their adopted mom attack him.

Crowstar, out for a walk, attacked and killed the Thunderclan medicine cat, Blazingdawn. Soon after, Aspenblaze had another litter of kits - two she-cats, Emberkit and Blazingkit. Emberkit wanted to be the medicine cat but Blazingkit was forced into the role instead, as her father attempted to replace the cat that he had killed. This upset both apprentices - after watching her best friend, Hollypaw, die because of her lack of herb knowledge, Blazingpaw began meeting up with her sister, Ember, who had become a rogue soon after being made a warrior apprentice. When Crowstar found out, he was enraged, and murdered Ember.

His murderous habits got better, then even worse than it had been before. He was sent into exile by WindClan leader Whisperstar and the Riverclan leader Wolfstar after Furstream and Rainstep schemed against him. His deputy, Rainstep, became Rainstar, and after proving his eventual sanity, Crowstar rejoined the Clan as a warrior and took the name of Crowstorm to honor his dead half-brother, whose warrior name had been Gorsestorm.
