Chiselstar

**Chiselstar** is a maine coon tom with a thick, spiky, brown and white coat. He has black and dirty orange colored splotches covering his entire body. Chisel has tired olive green eyes and is built heavily with a husky frame.

## History

### The Past

Ever since he was a kit, Chisel has always been deemed the 'Riverclan oddball'. In contrast to the ideal Riverclan cat being sleek, well groomed and graceful, Chisel was clumsy, unkept and carefree. It wasn't only his manner and personality that made other cats shun him away; it was his lack of traumatic experience. Almost every Riverclan cat at the time had gone through catastrophic despair. Many were left unmotivated and in depressive states despite the leader's best efforts. Their attitudes alone were weakening the strength of Riverclan since no one had the will to move forward. The cats created bonds with each other through relating to trauma, but since Chisel was never unlucky enough, he was shut out. The leader at the time, Moonstar, kept a watchful eye on the issue. When Chisel became of appropriate status they picked him as deputy, believing a new leader could brighten the hearts of Riverclan once again. After Moonstar's passing, Chisel made it his goal to reinstall determination to the clan and move towards a positive future.

### The Present

He remains as the optimistic leader of Riverclan. Eventually his goal worked; the cats learned that moping around all the time would get them nowhere in the end. Chiselstar continues to lead by positive example, mostly teaching others about the importance of tolerance, strength, and awareness.

## Personality & Traits

Unlike his fellow leaders Chiselstar has a much more laid back approach to leading his clan. He is awfully easygoing and optimistic about problems Riverclan faces; he feels that panicking over issues would stress everyone out and do no good. The last thing he likes doing is to is to make anyone uneasy, sometimes even his enemies. Chisel wants nothing but peace between the clans, so he is often forgiving and peaceful with all cats no matter how horrible they might be. Along with his passive personality, he often puts a lot of trust into others. If someone breaks his trust it won't be the end of the world, but Chisel will show clear, almost parent-like disappointment. He likes to listen to other cats, however he also has selective hearing issues. It is rare that he disrespects a cat. When he does, it's clear to others that this cat might be a very major problem.

## Trivia

Chisel's shoulder scar appeared when he lost footing down a hill and scraped his side against a sharp branch.

Chisel earned his prefix, 'Chisel', through having a strong face structure. His warrior suffix 'stump' comes from his heavy and stubborn build, as well as his brown colored coat.

Out of his litter, Chisel was the second to be born. Carpclaw was first born, followed by Mothcry, Thundersnake, Sparrowhead, then Finkit. Finkit died after a couple days due to heart complications.

He was born into the "Lucky Litter"—Chisel's siblings are all healthy and alive, free from heavy physical or mentally damaging experiences. His litter was also one of the biggest.

Chisel often asks his littermates for advice.
