## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

Driftleap convinces a she-cat named Willow to join and then proceeds to travel to the Barn, surprised to find his brother Shiveringfur and his brother's apprentice, Icepaw. Both agree to join "Revive the Glory of RiverClan," and the three travel to their new island home. As the night lingers, Shiveringfur dreams in the Place of No Stars, venting and ranting to his father about how his "destiny" has been stolen, while Waterheart calms him down. They plan a way to get rid of Driftstar and Salmonheart...

Shiveringfur also sees this plan as a test of Icemask's loyalty. Shiveringfur and Icemask back from fishing at the Coastal Reef talk of his plan in the quiet of the warrior's den; he plans to drown Driftstar at the Coastal Reef and send an angry badger to kill Salmonheart on patrol with leaf-bare being the season to do this. He then plans to threaten Quillsmoke into making him Clan leader, but when Icemask refuses to betray her Clan in such an evil act, they get into a fight, with Icemask beating Shiveringfur. Hissing, she tells him out of respect for him being her former mentor, she won't say anything, but if he dares hurt Driftstar, Salmonheart, or any of her Clanmates, she'll stop him herself before cutting ties with him.

While walking to his nest, Willowbrook hisses at Shiveringfur when she smell's blood on his fear and angrily ignores her. 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. While hunting on the RiverClaws, Larchweb is attacked by Shiveringfur, being helped up by Pinepath as she runs to tell Sunstar.

Frozenpool quietly walks up to Driftstar who is talking to Shiveringfur. The sons of Waterheart begin talking with Frozenpool, expressing his happiness that Drifstar and Shiveringfur seem content, both him and Driftstar not knowing of Shiveringfur's sinister schemes.

### **Personality**

Shiveringfur is a cat with a good heart, changed by events out of his control. Shiveringfur had kithood seizures in his youth, so his mother tried to keep him in the nursery for his safety, but he was bound to get out of the nursery. One day, Driftkit saw their parents leave the camp, so he followed them, Shiveringkit and Frozenkit accompanying them only to see their father kill their mother, only for him to be killed by a patrol. The shock of all of this caused Shiveringkit to go into shock, having a seizure for bad; he was in a coma for a quarter-moon. He vowed never to be weak again when he was released from his coma; he grew out of his seizures to give the kit strength and make sure the kit would grow into a strong warrior, and Perchstar wanted to keep the last three members of his family in RiverClan (Frozenkit, Driftkit, and Shiveringkit) close to him as he was the father of their grandfather. Despite no longer having seizures Shiveringfur now makes sure he is very alert and still lives to the first part of his name, and he wants to change the Clans for the better. He became very prideful and steadfast in his skill, being one of the last three members who were kin to the leader and his apprentice. His father, Waterheart, contacted him through the Place of No Stars and began training him to lead RiverClan one day. Shiveringfur even further believed he was destined to be the leader when he got an apprentice Icepaw. However, now he feels betrayed in a Clan under his brother's rule and not even as deputy, and he has plans to change that.

### **Driftstar**

Driftstar is Shiveringfur's brother; as kits, no two brothers were as close as Driftkit and Shiveringkit, always begging to go outside and playing with each other, Driftkit would always wait for him in the medicine den every time he had a seizure. However, after the death of their parents and Shivieringkit's coma, everything change, Shiveringkit becomes more aggressive and Driftkit more isolated. As an apprentice, it went from distant to worse as Shiveringpaw became arrogant due to being Perchstar's apprentice, and Driftkit found a new family with Salmonpaw and Lavenderpaw as his friends. Shiveringfur thought he would lead RiverClan. After all, he got an apprentice when Driftleap didn't have all the plans he had, and with his father "helping" him, he knew it was his destiny to lead. Then out of both their control, the Clans were destroyed and now the new Clans were founded. Whatever foolishness StarClan had, they allowed Driftstar to become a leader, and Shiveringfur is enraged that his brother "stole" his "birthright" and didn't even have the decency to make him deputy choosing Salmonheart over him, but Shiveringfur will wait no longer for his "destiny"

### **Frozenpool**

Frozenpool is Shiveringfur's brother; both were never close, Shiveringkit seeing his brother as somewhat of a scaredy cat being glued to their mother's side. Frozenpool's interest in herbs started after Shiveringkit went into his coma and chose the path of a medicine cat instead. Frozenpool somewhat feared Shiveringfur's ambition as he could tell how unchecked it was and feared what could happen under his leadership, even if he didn't become deputy. While never being close and Frozenpool actually being closer to Driftleap, he attempted to reconcile the two but failed and now, in a different can't stop what may come.

### **Icemask**

Icemask is Shiveringfur's former apprentice; Shiveringfur didn't exactly care for whatever kit he got. Icepaw became his apprentice at the peak of his arrogance, as he had just become a warrior. Icepaw's feisty personality and aggressive personality, made battle training the daily. While he wasn't abusive in any way, he saw her as a good lackey and with the careful wording he uses, he keeps her in line. Icepaw wasn't ambitious; she wanted to be a great warrior, and she fell into Shiveringfur's paws with his promises, but the first time he defied her was when she dreamed in the Place of No Stars but refused to train there instead any battle moves Shiveringfur learns there he teachers her. Now as a warrior, however, and seeing how angry he has become with his brother as the leader, she is ready to stand up to him if he goes too far despite her fear of him. Icemask soon proves this by beating Shiveringfur when he tells her his plan, calling him a traitor and threatening to stop him if anything happens while Shiveringfur calls her an ingrate.

### **Waterheart**

Waterheart is Shiveringfur's father; while his father was alive, he didn't care about his kits most of all Shiveringkit as he saw him as a weakling due to his kithood seizures and never expected him to survive. Shiveringkit never fully grasped that his father had killed his mother, being so young and weaker than his littermates. Waterheart didn't immediately enter Shiveringpaw's dreams and instead went with Driftpaw, who better understood his father's sins. Shiveringpaw didn't trust his father and understand enough about him. Still, Waterheart talked him up about how much Shiveringpaw, as the kin of Perchstar and Perchstar's apprentice, deserved to be leader feeding his ambition as they trained together. Watherheart taught Shiveringfur many of the tactics he used to gain power, which is why Shiveringfur tried to include his apprentice who refused, Waterheart is considering the damage he can do with Shiveringfur's unchecked again since his brother Driftstar stole his "birthright of leadership."
