Rainstar

**Rainstar** is a silver and white tabby she-cat with feathery fur.

## Description

### Physical

The feline is an average height for a she-cat, but perhaps appears slightly taller due to the volume of her wispy fur. Her legs appear to be short in comparison to the rest of her body, although this may be due to the length of her pale coat. Her paws are surprisingly wide, providing her with a decent grip when balancing on logs or scaling tall trees. Rainstar's tail is obnoxiously long no thanks to the thick fur that festoons it, causing her to drag it for the most part. It's incredibly heavy, meaning that lifting her tail to communicate is a difficult task to accomplish.

In short, Rainstar is awfully beautiful for a feral cat, with a lovely coat most unexpected out of a wild feline. Of course, it has its drawbacks. The feline has a thick undercoat which is similar to down in birds. It makes her soft and cloud-like in appearance, but consequently, grooming is an absolute nightmare. The deputy does like to keep up on this- she likes to be presentable. If she looks like a matted furball, nobody would take her seriously. The she-cat is a silver tabby by pattern, with a silvery-white base pin-stripped by thin, coal-colored mackerel stripes. Rainstar is probably about 50%, with a white ruff, paws, and blaze. Most odd about the she-cat is her unnatural, platinum-colored eyes.

### Character

The she-cat, in all her prowess, was what young kittens aspired to be when they grew up. She is strongly independent and work-driven, with a desire and goal to ensure the safety and survival of her clan, regardless the cost to herself. Rainstar is selfless in her wake and an unwavering devotion to not only LakeClan, but their starry ancestors as well. She’s very respectable and the type to reciprocate reverence when given, but respond with grave sternness when treated with insolence. The leader will never tolerate disobedience or even the slightest sign of disloyalty to her clan- she considers devotion to be life-long and never temporary.

While Rainstar treats her clanmates with kindness and patience that only a mother could have, her mind is a dark and chaotic realm. She appears emotional and extremely collected on the outside, but her frustrations build with a lack of someone to vent to. The LakeClanner is extremely selective about friends and never deals out true trust easily. While she finds her clanmates reliant, she treats them as more of “co-workers”. Her respect and adoration for them might be high, but Rainstar actually lacks any real close friends outside of her mother. Deep down, she feels insecure underneath her fur, almost trapped in her position.

The female feels that she can never be herself with the title of leader and burdens of her clan weighing down on her shoulders. Rainstar fears failure and isolation in her personal life, outside of the usual stressing over LakeClan and their safety. She may seem as down-to-earth as possible to her clanmates, but it would appear that nobody knows the true her. Life feels like an overbearing roller-coaster that will never end, and at this rate, Rainstar will lay down her own life before she allows any enemies to end the lives of her warriors. To her, her own life is just a meaningless part in the greater role that her warriors and apprentices will play in the future of LakeClan. She must ensure that they survive.

## History

### Background

Rainy was born to a prized kittypet queen who was used by twolegs to produce expensive kittens to sell. However, her mother got out and fell in love with a loner tom, and together, the pair ended up expecting kits. However, before Rainy's mother could find the tom again, he had been captured as a stray by twolegs and taken far away.

The housefolk were enraged to find out that Rainy and her littermates were nothing but mutts- a mistake, not the pricey kittens they desired. Rainy, along with the rest of her littermates, were separated from their mother as soon as possible, and given away to different homes. But the feather-furred tabby didn't like kittypet life much. She found kittypet to be boring and uneventful- pampering wasn't her style, what she wanted was responsibility.

She fled when she was about nine moons old, where she was accepted only by LakeClan. At gatherings, she was stereotyped and snickered at by the crude MoonClan cats. In those moments, Rainpaw knew that she wanted to do nothing more than prove those kittypet-haters wrong. She trained hard under her mentor until she became a warrior with the name of "Raincloud".

It wasn't long before her hard work paid off, and she was granted an apprentice of her own. About three moons later, Raincloud was promoted to deputy, favored for her kindness towards her clanmates and her general self-sacrifice. She served Lakestar loyally until the end, and found great inspiration in the old she-cat. She considered it a great personal loss when the leader passed away.

Rainstar accepted leadership dutifully, but found herself losing lives quickly. Before long, she was already down to seven of nine lives.

### Enemies

**Wolfstar:**

Rainstar is a forgiving cat, but when it comes to Wolfstar, her hatred for the tom seems to shine through. She's generally peachy with just about everyone else, given that she's kind and willing to give just about anything that walks into her camp looking for a new home a good shot. But Wolfstar- she doesn't tolerate him. She constantly feels as if she's under his criticism when they attend Gatherings together. Rainstar considers him to be pigheaded, like an old man in the body of a young cat.
