## Appearance

A tall and sleek she-cat with long fluffy fur. Her fur curls up around her throat into a mane. She is mostly white, patched in a calico pattern with orange, brown and black. She has a long muzzle and narrow, sharp bright green eyes.

## Personality

Shikrastar is a very intellegent cat. She takes nothing for granted and always wonders about the strings attached. She is calculating and cold. She can be apathetic or cruel at times, capable of abandoning her emotions for logic. She is incredibly loyal to WindClan and is courageous, refusing to back down from a fight. She is impatient and strict. She expects nothing short of perfection from her Clan and is apt to getting frustrated and angry when her requirements are not met. She is harsh in her punishments and generally unforgiving. She usually has good intentions, but her way of going about her goals is inherantly wrong.

## History

Shikrastar was a cat born and raised in WindClan. A generational ideology of power and ambition was passed down to her from her father's side. She was the one who started the tradition of legacy-naming her kits, which is why Shikrapaw and Stormpaw share their parent's names. Whirlpaw is named after her Stormswish's late mother. This is part of the reason why Shikrastar favors Whirlpaw's siblings.

She and Stormswish grew up together as apprentices. They bonded over their shared ambitions and were rivals. They would constantly bounce off each other and serve as the other's foil. As they grew, their dynamics did change, as Stormswish became more recluse and serious and Shikrastar's ambitions spiked dramatically. They still remained close, and when Shikrastar ended up choosing a mate, it was always gooing to be Stormswish.

Another two of Shikrastar's friends were Lizardear and Newtpaw, two siblings. She bonded closely with Lizardear early on, and the two became fast friends. Shikrastar valued his imput because he grounded her, and when she wasn't so prideful she valued that. However, after Newtpaw's death, he became a bit more recluse, and their friendship deteriorated slightly.

Cindertail was Shikrastar's first apprentice. She was a harsh mentor, unrelenting and even cruel at times, but she was determined in her belief it would make him better. This worked to some extent, but it also caused Cindertail to grow up isolated from his peers. He was the one she would later trust to be Whirlpaw's second mentor.

She was appointed deputy shortly after Cindertail's warrior ceremony. She was elated, even if she had already predicted it, and was delighted by the support she received from Lizardear and Stormswish. This is around the time she asked Stormswish to be her mate, of which he readily accepted.

Moons later, she and Stormswish had their kits, Whirlpaw, Stormpaw and Shikrapaw. She initially took a liking to Shikrapaw, which is why she named him after her, but she switched her attentions to Stormpaw as the kits grew.

Shortly after her motherhood Hedgestar died of natural causes. He had been old and had finally succumbed to age. This meant Shikrastar was due to become leader, but she was still nursing her kits. She ended up appointing Lizardear as deputy, and he took over in her absence. However, it wasn't long before she she resumed her duties, leaving the kits to be raised primarily by Stormswish.

As Lizardear and Whirlpaw grew closer, they developed a very close parent/child relationship. Shikrastar would never admit it, but this made her jealous. She was so sure that her parenting techniques would work, but Whirlpaw was always distant, and looked at her with fear rather than respect. She didn't like what Lizardear was teaching her daughter. She started to reconsider her choice in deputy, and eventually decided that Lizardear had to go for the good of the Clan.

She ended up leading the joint effort of his murder. Her, Stormswish and Downyfeather drowned him in a river. They found him to be an unsutible deputy and mentor for Whirlpaw, and were eager to get Stormswish into the more powerful position. Downyfeather only participated because Shikrastar blackmailed her into it. The entire situation is a bad memory for Shikrastar, and she prefers to forget it ever happened.

Her various missing lives are from the quite sizable number of situations that got out of hand that she assumed she could handle. It isn't uncommon for Shikrastar to tackle problems on her own and end up dying because of it. However, all of these have been nearly completely hidden from the entirety of WindClan, leaving them to believe their beloved leader is still at full life capacity. The only exception is Stormswish, who she knows would never breathe a word.
