Longstar

Longlegs

## Looks

Longstar was a tall, dark gray tom with golden-yellow eyes and a permanent scowl. He always looked like he had smelled something fowl. He had short fur, and was very skinny, as if he was always starving no matter how much prey there was. He had long, thin legs, and his ribs jutted out of his sides.

## Personality

Longstar was a very bitter cat, although he was very quiet. He hardly ever talked to anyone outside his Clan, making BreezeClan seem quite mysterious and dark when he was in charge. He was always working, and hated having any free time or sitting down, which made him starve himself fairly often.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Longstar was an amazing hunter and speaker, and could run very fast, but wasn't the best at fighting with his claws, climbing, or swimming.

## Trivia

## Life

Longkit was weird. Everyone avoided him, including his mother. He was born with his siblings Tinykit and Softkit in LeafClan's Camp, both of which died from the extreme cold. He barely survived, and was a very weak kit. His mother, Silent, didn't want him, as he was a spitting image of his father, who died in a terrible accident. Silent decided to try to get rid of him when he was about five moons old, dumping him by an abandoned fox den. He lived there for a few moons before being found by a BreezeClan patrol, who took him back to camp to be made an apprentice.

After his ceremony, he met Vixenpaw, his first real friend, who showed him around Camp. Vixenpaw tried to get Longpaw to talk about his family, failing and making Longpaw cry. Vixenpaw promised him things would get better, and cheered Longpaw up a bit when she accidentally tripped over a rabbit. Longpaw's mentor, Rabbitleap, decided to show him around the territory the day after his ceremony. Rabbitleap, once the two were far from Camp, explained that Bumblestar didn't trust him, and Longpaw was his last chance to prove he could and would help the Clan. Longpaw was a bit worried he'd mess up and get Rabbitleap kicked out of the Clan, but didn't say anything. The two didn't train often, as Longpaw and Vixenpaw had lots of work to do caring for the queens and Bumblestar who had fallen deathly ill, making Longpaw a poor hunter and fighter. He would often go on walks and runs with Vixenpaw though, usually winning any races. After one of their races, they were sitting in a tree, watching the lake just across the border, when Vixenpaw admitted she liked him. Longpaw liked Vixenpaw too, but didn't want to get into any relationships before he was a warrior. Vixenpaw agreed to wait until then, and the two went back to camp.

After training and living as a Clan cat for five moons, Longpaw became a warrior, earning the name Longlegs, along with Vixenpaw, who earned the name Vixensong. Shortly after their ceremonies, Longlegs and Vixensong became mates. Longlegs was happier than he had ever been after that, and would often visit the nursery. After a few moons, Vixensong came to Longlegs with what she thought was terrible news. Vixensong was going to have kits, and she was absolutely terrified. Her mother had died giving birth to kits, and she was horrified she'd die too. Longlegs comforted her as best he could, helping her move into the nursery. After a few moons, Bumblestar fell ill again, this time with a severe case of green-cough. The sickness spread through the Camp quickly, infecting most of the warriors and apprentices. Vixensong caught it as well, becoming very weak. She began to give birth while ill, panicking. Vixensong gave birth to three kits, Swiftkit, Smallkit, and Fernkit, dying in the process. Longlegs fell into a deep depression, and his kits had to be nursed by the only other queen, Coldfur. Coldfur and Longlegs got in many arguments about how neglectful Longlegs was being, and Coldfur started refusing to take care of them. Longlegs began watching them and spending more time around them, making him less depressed. He became very close to Smallkit and Fernkit, refusing to spend much time around Swiftkit because of her striking resemblance to her mother. Once his kits became apprentices, Longlegs and Coldfur quit talking to each other for the most part, only talking to each other when they had to. Swiftpaw liked spending time with Coldfur more than Longlegs, eventually refusing to spend time with Longlegs. Longlegs was very upset about this, as he wanted his kits to be nothing like Coldfur and to stay away from her. After many moons, Bumblestar, Coldfur, Longlegs and Lightblaze were on a patrol by the lake when the ground began to crumble. Bumblestar dove, pushing Longlegs away from the edge. The leader was then crushed, losing his last life. Coldfur began shouting at Longlegs for getting Bumblestar killed, and began attacking him. Longlegs was pinned, but he managed to toss Coldfur off, accidentally pushing her in the lake, where she then drowned. Longlegs was horrified, having thought she knew how to swim. Lightblaze sprinted for camp, thinking that Longlegs was trying to kill the whole patrol, tripping and falling head-first into a sharp rock. Longlegs caught up with her fairly quickly, realizing what had happened and helping her back to camp, where Echoleaf, the medicine cat, took care of Lightblaze as best he could. Since the leader had died, Lightblaze was the new leader. Luckily for Longlegs, she had forgotten almost everything that had happened after they left camp, deciding to appoint Longlegs as the new deputy. Longlegs then had to explain to his kits what had happened. They all ended up sitting vigil by the lake along with a few of Coldfur and Bumblestar's close friends, cuddling. After a few days, Lightblaze prepared for her journey to the Moon Falls, deciding to take Swiftpaw with her. But when Swiftpaw returned, the leader was nowhere to be seen. Swiftpaw was covered in deep scratches, and was quickly bleeding out. She collapsed in the middle of camp, telling everyone the two cats had been attacked by a family of badgers before Lightblaze could get her nine lives and become a true leader. Everyone was horrified. Echoleaf attempted to save Swiftpaw, failing. Longlegs stayed with his daughter's body until the next morning, when he realized he was the new leader. Longlegs quickly appointed the new deputy, Poppybloom. Poppybloom was a bit nervous at first, and attempted to make him choose someone else. She eventually agreed, although she was still a bit worried for a while. After a few days, Longlegs and Poppybloom went to the Moon Falls, and Longlegs became Longstar, earning his nine lives and leader's name. Longstar was very happy, and Poppybloom congratulated him.

Longstar's first task as leader was to give his kits their warrior names. He was very proud of them, giving them the names Smallhop and Fernsong. The two warriors were overjoyed to be warriors, and had to be shushed constantly when they started their vigil by the Light Stream. After about two weeks, Longstar went to his first gathering, bringing a large group of cats including Poppybloom, Smallhop, Fernsong, and Echoleaf. There he met Hazestar, falling in love with her immediately. He also met Quickstar, who seemed quite ill, and Oakstar, who looked very upset. He asked Oakstar what was wrong, and Oakstar told him about BeachClan's founder's death. Longstar comforted him, and the two became good friends. After the gathering, Longstar talked to Hazestar for a bit, and admitted he liked her. The two became mates, and Longstar lead his Clan back home. He was in an oddly good mood, and Smallhop noticed very quickly something was off. She came to his den in the middle of the night, waking him up to talk. She got him to admit he had become mates with Hazestar, and she panicked. Longstar knew he shouldn't be mates with her, but didn't really care. Smallhop was very angry and scared, and quit talking to Longstar. Longstar realized that neither of his kits would talk to him, and he became quite upset. He felt like he wasn't good enough for the Clans, beginning to work extremely hard. Longstar became very thin, his ribs jutting out of his sides. Smallhop and Fernsong started begging him to stop working so hard, but he refused, working so hard on catching prey that he ended up collapsing by the fresh kill pile, dying. Once he came back, Echoleaf forced him to rest for a while, making him eat as well. Once he was healthy enough, he began working again, just as hard as he had before. He ended up dying two more times before Poppybloom decided he wasn't aloud to hunt or work half as hard more than a week each moon. Longstar agreed, only because his daughters were threatening to get the other Clans involved. He went to another gathering, his legs shaky and beat-up from all the work he had done before. Oakstar and Hazestar were very concerned, and asked him to quit working so hard. Quickstar didn't show up to the gathering. Instead, a cat named Nightstar showed up, telling the gathering Quickstar had died. Longstar attempted to comfort the new leader, but he was quite hostile towards Longstar, so he left him alone. After the gathering, Hazestar and Longstar sat together in the gathering place, talking about kits. Hazestar really wanted to have kits, but Longstar was happy with the kits he already had, and told her so. The two got in an argument, deciding they weren't supposed to be mates. The two were about to go home when the family of badgers came into the clearing, attacking the two leaders. Hazestar's leg was bitten off, and she gained many scars on her sides and shoulders. Longstar was killed twice, managing to scare the badgers off. Longstar then tried to help Hazestar, for which she cut the tip of his ear off. The two went their separate ways, managing to get the rest of the way to their camps safely. Longstar was very angry, and told his Clan that Hazestar had attacked him after the gathering, cutting off the tip of his ear. He didn't tell anyone he had lost two lives. He decided they were going to attack LeafClan, saying that anyone who could walk would fight, including kits, queens, and elders. His daughter, Smallhop, was close to giving birth to kits. She told BreezeClan about his relationship with Hazestar, yelling at her father for being so dumb. Longstar denied everything Smallhop told the Clan, saying he had always hated Hazestar. The Clan turned on Smallhop, and Fernsong leapt in front of Smallhop, beginning to yell at her father for being a liar. Longstar yelled back at her for believing Smallhop, and the Clan began attacking the two. Fernsong and Smallhop darted out of camp, vanishing into the night. Poppybloom, who had taken in a kit of her own named Flarekit, went to get ready. Longstar noticed she looked upset, but didn't care. He couldn't think about anything but how angry he was. He eventually gathered most of his Clan, beginning to run for LeafClan. When the Clan got there, Longstar immediately ran for the leader's den, finding Hazestar inside with the medicine cat, Shatteredwish. Longstar asked Shatteredwish to leave, saying it wasn't yet her time to die. Shatteredwish refused, stepping in front of Hazestar to protect her. Longstar attacked, but Shatteredwish easily pinned him. Longstar attempted to tear her throat out, for which she killed him. When he woke back up, he attempted to kill her again, and she killed him again. They repeated this three times, stopping on Longstar's last life. Longstar managed to toss Shatteredwish off, causing her to bash her head open on a rock. Hazestar let out a roar, leaping on Longstar and killing him for the last time.
