## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

Antlertail joins the grotto camp in the pine forest. Antlertail and Buzzardcry leave but in good faith to stay as wanderers, apparently in the oak forest. After a long journey through the pine forest and the barn after the Severance, Antlertail and Buzzardcry have reached the deciduous forest. Both cats hope this journey of leaving SunClan wasn't for anything, and both hope they can find Maplepelt and maybe others.

After resting for the night, in the morning, Antlertail and Buzzardcry begin the search for Maplepelt, who they finally find. Maplepelt isn't convinced to come to join SunClan, and seeing the unclaimed territory, Antlertail asks Buzzardcry and Maplepelt if they will help her found her own Clan, which Maplepelt reluctantly agrees to but is happy to be with his sister again. In the forest, Maplepelt introduces and helps Antlertail convince other cats around the area to join these cats being; Cinder, Apple, Twig, and Timberpaw.

Just before leaving, however, Antlertail hears rustling in the bushes and finds a young silver-blue tom, a kittypet talking to him. Seeing his reluctant curiosity, she convinces him to join her clan. Antlerstar stands tall ready to lead her Clan with peace and prosperity and sees someone who, in her youth, standing beside her will now choose Maplepelt as her deputy. Antlerstar herself steps up as Bluepaw's mentor, leaping down from the rock towards him and claws out, but only to remove his collar and touches noses with the starry-eyed apprentice.

Antlerstar looks on after receiving her nine lives, ready to die for her Clan nine times over to protect them, but Yellowfang's last words still haunt her, are they true? Despite the dense fog in the early morning Antlerstar believes it's the perfect environment to see if he can catch his first piece of prey. Antlerstar has agreed to a defensive alliance with DriftClan and not attend the first gathering which would reveal themselves to the other Clans. As the day grows bright, Antlerstar worries about the litter of four kits and fears her clan may not survive leaf-bare; she is surprised to see Rabbitstrike, who calms her nerves and asks her to go hunting to calm her mind which she kindly thanks him for.

The rain has turned to thunder and lightning, and all of AntlerClan worries that Bluepaw has not returned, Antlerstar worries and fears that he is gone, but seeing the weather plans to search for him tomorrow herself. Rabbitstrike nuzzles and cleans Antlerstar's fur as she worries for her Clan; she asks him if he will stay by her side till the end, which he promises on StarClan themselves.

Wanting this gathering to happen, Eaglestar starts speaking about as the only two Clans in the valley, peace must be maintained, until Driftleap, Antlertail, Salmonheart, Maplepelt, Quillsmoke, and Buzzardcry appear from the bushes and Driftstar proudly says there aren't two Clans. The Cats, smelling of forest and fish, trot into the clearing, all sitting around, mixing up the former places cats were sitting as many see kin and friends they thought lost Driftstar and Antlerstar climb onto the stone Sunstar and Eaglestar are on with their deputies and medicine cats going to sit next to the other deputies and medicine cats, as Driftstar proudly yowls it is now time for the gathering to begin!

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Antlerstar is one of the smartest clan cats known. Antlerstar came from a well-respected lineage in ShadowClan, descended from a forgotten ancient ShadowClan cat; however, her parents Fireshade and Nighthope, kept her and Maplekit grounded despite this. Due to this, she is a respected cat known to speak calmly but is very secretive and quiet. She is a great hunter having almost immaculate skill; her only equal is her brother, Maplepelt, who is just as skilled as her. Even with her calm nature, Antlerstar has great pride in being a Shadowclan cat and being born in the wild though she never shows it. Antlerstar, while keeping a serious demeanor, can be very playful with close friends and family showing a more relaxed side she feels she can't show while being leader.

### **Buzzardcry**

Buzzardcry is Antlerstar's close friend and confidant; Both cats barely knew each other even after they joined the grotto camp, and their friendship seemed unlikely. However, after The Severance, the wish of Antlerstar to find her brother is something she can relate to after missing Elmflight and even her half-siblings, so she decides to accompany her. With another cat beside her, Antlerstar was given more will to stay strong and find her brother and someone to talk to about any general problems she had, which is why when she formed AntlerClan and with Buzzardcry as her medicine cat, she still talked to her about her worries even more than her brother.

### **Maplepelt**

Maplepelt is Antlerstar's brother and deputy; in their youth, both were skilled apprentices and excelled in their fields, being stronger together and usually fighting as one. While Antlerstar is a better hunter and Maplepelt a better fighter, they have great faith in each other, and both became warriors at only 9 moons old. Their sibling connection was so strong Antlerstar went on a journey to find him, and the quest to reunite with her brother would see the founding of AntlerClan, and it's not a surprise who she chose as the Clan's and her first deputy.

### **Rabbitstrike**

Rabbitstrike is Antlerstar's mate; Antlerstar at first saw no reason to talk to the tom and he her. Though as the days went on, she wondered why he mostly just studied other cats and both began talking. She pleasantly found that he wasn't cold or mean and could be quite funny, while he saw that she wasn't just an attentive leader and had a brighter side to her calm attitude, which both joked about their perceived stereotypes. At first, only Antlerstar felt romantically attracted to Rabbitstrike, but soon Rabbitstrike fell her as he calmed her worries and still appear strong to the rest of the Clan. This was really evident when Bluepaw went missing and in that moment he promises to be with her forever which cemented themselves as mates. While they seem very smile and wise, they are more intimate privately and Rabbitstrike sleeps in the leader's den with Antlerstar.
