## **Personality**

Jaystar is a sharp, sarcastic, and wise leader. He is not afraid to make scathing remarks to anyone and everyone, including his medicine cat. Despite his attitude, Jayfeather has strong relationships with those close to him, including Lionblaze, Darkclaw, Nutbreeze, and Lifestorm. He also tries to be a good role model to his clan, and he does all he can for WillowClan. Jaystar has shown a hidden fascination for poisonous plants, as it would allow him to have control over another's life and death; however, he has never voiced or acted on these darker impulses.
