Dawnstar

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.* *"Starclan's influence on us cannot be ignored. We must strengthen our connection through prayer- and through acts of offerings to Silkstar. We must make it clear that this was not our intention, to ward them off our territory. From now on- if you suspect a clanmate of disrespecting Starclan, or choosing to deny Silkstar a passage into their heart- you will bring this to me immediately."*
**Dawnstar** is a pretty, sleek-furred, dark-brown rosetted Bengal molly with a lithe, muscular body, long legs, and a long, sleek tail. She has pretty golden-amber eyes, and a distinctive scar that parts the fur along the length of her belly.
**Dawnstar** was born to two NPCs within The Lambent Enclaves as a kittypet. She has served under Valleystar's and her reign. She has dam'd a litter of kits, and after learning of the clan as a Tourist chose to join after some convincing. She became a Council Member, Deputy, then Leader rather quickly under Valleystar, resulting in her becoming a leader at only 24 moons. Since her time as leader Valleystar has sent her two kits, Bloompaw and Tansypaw, a warning of her, and she has confronted a badger, resulting in the loss of her first life and a disaster in camp, claiming many lives alongside her own.

### **Applebreeze**

*"His voice was so calm and inviting, Layla felt as if she could collapse into his paws at any moment. He had always been the life of the clan, and though he was older than her, she felt she'd grown up with him as a close friend."*

Dawnstar held strong feelings for Applebreeze starting from her very first visit to the clan. She swooned over him due to his general kindness towards her, and his welcoming, warm attitude towards her and her kits when he meets them multiple visits later. She entrusts him with her two kits when she recognizes her desire to have them raised in the clan, choosing to leave them to be raised by him and his kin before she changes her mind days later. She returns to join the clan after Applebreeze talks her into it, insisting on her speaking with his mother, Valleystar, about her joining the clan. She reluctantly agrees, and she officially joins the clan after proving her worth time and time again. Her and Applebreeze likely celebrated, and spent a lot of time becoming close before his death. She mourned him very heavily, and she thinks about him constantly, remembering the time they spent together fondly.

### **Valleystar**

*"Valleystar even acknowledged my talents for the council. She had become very dear to me."*

Layla and Valleystar first met while she was still a kittypet. She heard great tales about Valleystar's clan from other kittypets who lived nearby, and she chose to visit. From the very beginning Valleystar began to take notice of Layla's abilities, and the skills she possessed. She acknowledged them from afar, though she didn't say much. When Layla officially chose to join the clan, Valleystar took Layla under her wing and began to train her. She became close with the molly, seeing her as a mother figure and a very talented and respectable cat. The two confided in each other as Valleystar quickly climbed the ranks of the clan, all stopping at a halt when Valleystar fell ill. Dawnspark nursed her and her kits as well as she could, but after a few months Valleystar passed away. Dawnspark buried the molly alongside her kits and closest friends, and she mourned her for multiple days before taking on her 9 lives at a very young age.

### Skyrose

"..."

Dawnstar first interacts with Skyrose following a scene with her son Snowthistle, where the molly realizes the two's connection. She takes Snowthistle to meet Skyrose, where she is genuinely touched by the reunion between mother and son.

### Decayingbelladonna

"..."

Dawnstar first interacts with Decayingbelladonna following a scene with Petalpaw in the medicine den as she receives lashings from Lavendersnow about her precieved vision. She attempts to have Decayingbelladonna stand in for Petalpaw, doing her job as Mental Medicine Cat to share the information that Petalpaw had shared for her during her state of weakness, but Decayingbelladonna fails to even muster a few words about what has progressed. She grows intensely irritable with her after this interaction, and does not allow her grief to settle the next time they interact, where Dawnstar outwardly dismisses the molly in front of her new friend, Faithe, while the molly is getting her name. Though she does accept the suffix offered by the Mental Medicine Cat, she is quick to rush her off the High-Ledge. She later festers on the thought of Decayingbelladonna as an individual, citing her repeatedly as incompetent for the position and other cruel things.

## **Interests**

*Likes*

She's a rather big fan of just running. Running for hours and hours on end, she enjoys the feeling of the sun on her pelt, and always has. She enjoys the scent of heather and herbs, oftentimes visiting the Mental Medicine Cat just to sit in their den and relax by taking in the sweet aromas meant to ease a cat's nerves. Though this is only when no cat is around. She prefers not to get in the Mental Medicine Cat's way. She enjoys the feeling of the tall grass against her belly, and the softness of wool from two-leg place. She enjoys anything and everything soft, and enjoys the fur on thick pelted cats. She is also a cat that will knead when she is happy. She can sometimes be found in her den kneading her nest, or kneading a clanmate who brings her joy. She enjoys the company and closeness of other cats around her, and she's very social. She loves being the center of attention and always has. She greatly appreciates when cats almost seem to lick her paws, and show her absolute obedience. She enjoys common things other cat’s like, things that are very obvious. Such as warm rocks, long grass for her to relax on, and oftentimes trees to climb. She enjoys the relative kindness of cats, small things such as bringing others flowers or other gifts. She does seem to enjoy odd things as well, such as stretching and scratching on trees, sleeping in strange, curled up positions, and chasing beams of light. She’s not an entirely serious cat, and shows it at times. She enjoys common scents that may be found in two-leg dens such as their food, plants, etc. She enjoys having incredibly soft bedding, and she becomes very irritable when her bedding is not perfectly soft and enjoyable. She will oftentimes be found in dangerous territory picking items for her nest, and placing it in the warmest corners of the den, the spots least likely to collect any rain. She doesn’t change her bedding very often because of this, finding it very tiring and time consuming to search for items every few days. She becomes very happy when cats bring her items for her nest without her asking, finding them very kind. She will go out of her way to give cats gifts when they do kind things for her, wanting to return the favor at all times.

*Dislikes*

She absolutely despises getting her pelt dirty, and will go out of her way to avoid getting anything on it. She spends hours grooming her pelt whenever she feels as if she is dirty. She hates when cats attempt to take advantage of her, or point out her hypocrisy. She thinks cats are just being ungrateful for what she's done for them. She dislikes kittens, but won't outright scare them, she just prefers to not have them around her. She doesn't like super loud noises or bright lights, and she is conditioned to freeze whenever one shines on her, making cats worry she may easily be struck by a car. She doesn't like water, being wet, or being submerged in any liquid. She's got a severe fear of drowning, and will avoid water at all costs. She would be horrified to step foot in water, let alone have her face dunked under. She's not a fan of rough rocky surfaces, or anything that feels unsafe to her, such as certain marsh lands or rocky slopes. She will refuse to walk on land that she believes she may hurt herself on. She's very careful because of this, and will scout for danger before doing just about any activity. She absolutely despises the idea of having battle wounds. She becomes incredibly paranoid at the idea of battle, and seems able to smell the idea of conflict before it stirs. She will do everything in her power to diffuse certain situations that may cause a battle so she doesn’t need to be involved or wounded. She hates the feeling of being led on, as well as being wet. She finds it takes a very long time to groom the water out of her fur, and she becomes increasingly irritated when she feels she needs to do this.

## Skills/Faults

*Skills*

She has always been an incredibly talented cat, ever since she was a young kit. She would always have the strongest leaps upwards, or be the fastest kit that ran her garden alongside her siblings. Because of this, she was very sought after by two-legs, wanting her for their purposes. Though her two-legs quickly decided she would be more use to them and make them more of a profit. She would oftentimes be placed in shows and competitions, always having the most beautiful coat, having the strongest/most impressive legs, and even having the biggest paws at times. Because of this, she’s very confident in her ability to win, and often seems to almost want conflict to stir up so that she can get involved, as long as it's friendly. She is very intimidating at first glance, and seems very sure of herself when speaking, especially to a crowd of cats. She only really begins to crumble if cats begin to openly express their dismay. She's loud and eager to prove herself, and is very good at steering cats in a different direction from their normal route of insecurity or being unsure. She's a great mentor, and always has been. She speaks with the truth and doesn't think it's mature to try and lie to get out of sticky situations, even to spare some cat's feelings. She’s a very strong fighter, though she’s an even stronger hunter. She’s got a very sharp and quick bite, and doesn’t hesitate before leaping into battle. She’s very decisive and will become set in her ways in an instant. She chooses not to think hard on certain things such as hunting, as she knows her working alone is usually the most effective method. She’s relatively tolerant of a lot, and it takes quite a bit to get under her skin, as she’s not very sensitive. She’s got a very intimidating look / voice, and will use it to diffuse dangerous situations before they begin to avoid trouble with her clan. She seems very very reluctant to begin a battle unless the others strike first. She wants to preserve her clan and keep it as perfect as she possibly can, and at times she seems to believe she can control this all by herself. She’s got incredibly good camouflage, making it very easy for her to hide in the tall grass. She’s incredibly quiet and it’s almost impossible to see her coming, with the only giveaway being her bright hazel eyes in the grass peeking through at the creature she’s stalking. She’s lightning fast, giving her her namesake. When in battle she’s like a gust of wind, or a bolt of lightning, hitting with hasteful precision and using her tail to displace and manipulate her opponent. She uses her tail to disarm cats, swipe their tail from under them to knock them over, and to bruise them. She's seemingly a good vessel for Starclan's information despite her light belief in it. Her opinion on Starclan is everchanging, though she does seem to question it more than ever after this supposed dream she had with a Starclan cat, the one she refuses to mention to any cat besides a possible Mental Medicine Cat. She can handle loud noises and bright flashes very well, not seemingly bothered by them after she spent so much time as a kittypet. She's used to cars and isn't afraid of them, but she does know all the signs to avoid a car, warning cats well before they're in range to harm them. She's got very sharp hearing, and can easily pick out a rabbit scavenging through the moors over the sound of a rustling mouse. Her scenting isn't as strong, but she makes up for it with her great sight/hearing. She's also had a lot of shots, and since has a lot of ease getting over some illnesses. She has fantastic camouflage, easily stalking through the moors and creeping up on any creature.

*Faults*

Due to a surgical procedure her two-legs did on her, she has a massive scar on her belly, making it very easy to rip her belly open. She's very cautious, and not the most confident cat. She's easily swayed by others' opinions and often will make decisions that interest the greater population even if she doesn't see it as right and fair, such as keeping the Gardener role. She doesn't seem to promote cats to this unless someone harshly pushes her in the direction to do so. Due to Valleystar's strong legacy, she respects and salutes her kin very heavily, never seeming to cease this sort of attention towards them. Dawnstar always goes above and beyond to give her relatives special opportunities/special attention. She sometimes will consult them for their opinions on matters, or to discuss certain ideas and characteristics of some features. She's sometimes quite loud and intimidating, scaring off cats who were only just trying to speak to her about something that worries them. Because of her biases with clanmates, she may refuse to listen to a cat just to spite them, which is incredibly irritating to some, though she just doesn't seem to care. She can’t help but become incredibly irritated if the same cat continues to call her out for things. She’ll hold a grudge against a cat for as long as she’s alive, and continue to remember she’s irritated with them. She likely won’t change her mind unless a massive event occurs where the two will be forced to become friendly for the sake of life or death. She doesn’t really seem to care about this cat and will avoid them at all costs, perhaps even begin to put them in dangerous situations. She’s somewhat immature at times, and doesn’t seem to be very fond of cats critiquing her. When she snaps at cats it’s usually very harsh and loud, letting them be well aware they’ve done something wrong. She’ll put them on many patrols, or ask them to “search for more territory” for her. She is incredibly headstrong and believes she’s a lot more powerful than she truly is at times, putting herself in dangerous situations. She has a massive ego, and she isn’t very afraid to flaunt it. She doesn’t seem to care what cats think about her all the time, either. She’s easily taken advantage of by cats she’s fond of, and she’ll often do anything to make sure they know she cares about them. She’ll give them extra prey, even make sure apprentices get them the softest nests. She’s relatively paranoid at times as well, as if she knows she isn’t living up to the legacy Valleystar hoped she’d have. She beats herself up a lot when she doesn’t hold up to her impossible standards for power. She seems to become very upset when wounded, and will become incredibly more destructive when wounded. She wants to keep her pelt clean, soft, and perfect while at the same time being very reckless. In battle it almost seems like attacking her is a one way street to being targeted. She’ll viciously attack a cat, ignoring the warrior code in attempts to tear them to shreds if she so much as gets a small scar. She overworks herself constantly, and sometimes can be seen running for so long she passes out in an attempt to chase a cat who harmed her. She’ll stop at nothing to kill them, even if it’ll get herself killed multiple times in the process. Her ego causes her to have an inflated head, making her almost believe that she can take on all of Hanging Canopies when enraged, though when not in a competitive circumstance she’s relatively reasonable and will try her best to speak to cats calmly to diffuse a situation. She is terrible at climbing trees, and doesn't seem to get most of the ideas of it. She couldn't swim to save her life.

## Personality

She's a very curious case in the opinion of most of her clanmates. Formerly a kittypet, Dawnstar seems to understand the hardships of clan life, and have the skills necessary to be one, though it is a common complaint among her clanmates that she does not exactly have the courage to lead the clan and their decisions. She's a relatively passive leader, as she's unsure about her position. She is not forceful in any capacity, and likely will remain as much until something serious comes up. She was the same way with raising her two kits, allowing them to become spoiled and irritating, and only stepping in to discipline them once they showed negative traits such as abuse towards their clanmates, or clear racism towards kittypets, despite being born as them. She lives a very passive lifestyle despite this, and likely will continue to for a while. It's not uncommon to see her breaking minor clan rules, and seeming to not understand the necessity for the borders of her territory. Dawnstar was the cat to expand their border larger than anything the previous clan cats had ever been comfortable with, and she intends to stretch it even farther, believing that a large clan needs large territory to support itself. She overcompensates for nearly everything, and is often instructing her clanmates to hunt more than is necessary, "in case of emergency." While not entirely pessimistic, she does seem to have a more secluded and depressing outlook on life, expecting the worst at all times as to not be disappointed when something doesn't work out entirely in her favor. She has mild anxiety, and has trouble expressing her feelings. She often expects cats to read her body language, and she becomes irritated if they don't understand what exactly she truly means. She's not confrontational however, and she won't snap at cats for any reason, unless incredibly serious. She's very laid back on the rules and often doesn't mind when minor rules are broken by her clanmates, making it somewhat easy for morally grey cats to slip past. She never seems to be entirely satisfied, as if she somewhat regrets leaving her housefolk. She thinks about them often and enjoys the happier moments in her life, the easier times when she wasnt in the bright lights or giving birth to kits. She's very powerful, and knows it. She often can be seen out doing just about every clanmate, even in things she's just trying for the first time. Cats often may find this irritating and obnoxious of her, especially when she brushes it off and purrs that whatever task she's doing is a "good break" from her duties. She was a very skilled Moor Runner before she became deputy, and she was relatively humble about it. She's somewhat selfish however, and seems to care a lot more about herself than really anything else. She didn't seem ready to have her kits, so by the time they were born Dawnstar went from carefree and stubborn to anxious and relatively open, letting anyone control her. She felt like she was doing the best that she could for her kits, but in reality she never had the motherly instinct required to raise them due to having them so young. She likely won't develop them, either. She's very easily swayed and flattered, and it's very easy for her to fall in love with a cat. She often will stick to one cat she likes, and sometimes go overboard attempting to spend time with them. She's not very forceful, however, and she does understand the necessity of personal space. She often likes her own, though when she feels like she wants attention she'll cling right to a cat like a flea. She's very charismatic when it comes to a cat she's a fan of, and only really expecting affection in return. She spends a lot of time thinking about this cat she's infatuated with, and she hopes she'll at least get one small thing in return. She expects nothing out of cats unless it comes to her mate. She expects the bare minimum from most cats, and doesn't really think they'll be all that successful. She claims she's happiest this way. No cat can really harm her if she thinks this way. She's very picky when it comes to lots of things, including names for her clanmates, kits, and even things like eating prey. She only likes a few prey animals and will seem disgusted if cats attempt to give her anything else, though she may reluctantly eat if it means the cat will not be upset. She's very picky when choosing who will be close to her, making it relatively hard to manipulate her from the inside. However this is easily combated by cats just publicly calling her out. She becomes flustered easily and backs down in arguments. When she's hard, it's usually for finally snapping the thin veil she holds. She holds grudges for long periods of time, and will likely forever despise the cat that causes her grief/pain. It takes a lot for a cat to get to this point for her, though. Things that may trigger this is the frequent use of manipulation against her, the murder of cats she's close to, or just overall serious crimes that she cannot exactly excuse or ignore. When punishing a cat she finds problematic, she is incredibly harsh and unrelenting. She will force them to the limited punishment, and even then some. She's the first leader to even consider the death penalty that was implementing when Tulipstar was leader. Tulipstar placed it to scare her clanmates into avoiding certain tasks, though it was clear she'd never go through with this. Her mother, Valleystar, couldn't seem to get the point of a death penalty. She believed that cats can learn from their mistakes and become better cats because of it. However, when asked about the topic while she was deputy, Dawnspark made it very clear that she will enforce every rule to its entirety, harsh punishments and all. She's hypocritical, and when cats mention it, she shrugs it off or becomes somewhat self conscious. Normally she is relaxed, but occasionally she will feel a bit irked and become self conscious. She is confident and powerful, and she's very aware of it. On occasion, she will use her beauty to her advantage. She likes to flirt with cats that show interest in her, or to attempt to get her way. She's very sassy and it's quite easy to believe her. She likes to pressure cats and push her luck with them. She's quite naive at times, and very dismissive of certain claims unless there is evidence to back it up. She's adventurous and enjoys traveling, finding it very rewarding. She enjoys discovery of new land and the idea of what she can have done to it. Though not incredibly power hungry, it is clear that Dawnstar abuses her power for the fun of it at times. She likes to make up rules for cats she isn't fond of at times just to make it clear she's the one in charge. She also likes to use the phrase; "If you have a problem with it, then leave. I'm not shankling you down and begging you to stay." She at times can be very cruel and hard as well. She's hot headed and occasionally comes off as very rude. She has a short temper but will take it out on clanmates she doesn't respect if something sets her off. She's very ungrateful for the life Valleystar gave her and seems to abuse her power for the fun of it at times, but this isn't entirely who she is. The courage she still has, putting her life at risk for the sake of her clanmates, is something she's been well known for ever since she began showing up on the moors. She'll give her all to feed the clan and bend over backwards attempting to save them when the time calls for it. She's very overprotective of her clanmates at the end of the day. She'll send cats out in search of more territory in hopes to supply her clanmates with as much prey as necessary for the comfort and health of everybody, the general health of her clanmates is a very big concern for her. She spends a lot of her time checking up on cats and searching the medicine den for signs of illness in her clanmates, offering help whenever she may see fit. She doesn't know much about healing, but she thinks the mental and physical overall health of her clanmates is very important. She's an attention seeker, and loves being the center of attention. She becomes very happy and excitable whenever she gets the chance brag about some of her accomplishments, or tell cats about her luxury of a life back with her housefolk. She's very mature at times, but can fall into an immature mindset when in an argument if she doesn't immediately back down. She's not the quickest to jump to conclusions either, and let's cats have a chance to explain themselves before she decides on how to punish them. She's relatively sweet and kind to outside cats, as she sees herself in them often. She'll open up her life to anyone who so much as implies they're interested, often oversharing to an insane degree. She easily reads body language, and may become defensive if she notices cats becoming irritable. She doesn’t usually take kindly to this sort of attitude in the slightest. She doesn’t really seem to tolerate rogues on her territory on times other than the Festival, and though her territory is large, she seems to be on a constant power trip wanting to control every inch of land they own. She will not hesitate to barrel over any cat she believes may be of harm to her clanmates, attacking them before asking any questions. She’s very brutal at times, especially in battle, and she seems to feel more powerful due to her multiple lives. Her claws are sharper than her yowl, and she won’t hesitate to use it. When doing executions, Dawnstar is the cat to perform them. She won’t hesitate to rip a cat open. She enjoys the color of blood and finds it very therapeutic to rid the clan of dangerous cats, thinking it’s the best way to go about everything. She doesn’t seem to think about what the consequences may be in the afterlife. She's not very religious, and doesn't seem to believe a lot of the beliefs that others do about what happens after the clan cats pass away. This may be seen as very concerning to some of her clanmates, but she doesn't seem to see any problems with this. Starclan has spoken to her once before, though she hasn't told any cat about the dream, or what it may be. Some cats question if she's ever truly had a dream speaking with Starclan, considering just how rare they are. She can't even name more than two ancient Clan cats, referring to Silkstar and Ravenstar, with the other cats slipping her mind each time she tries. She believes in things such as reincarnation and cats sending physical messages to their clanmates to tell them they're watching over them, such as doves, dragonflies, etc.

## Detailed History

*Valleystar's Reign*

She begins to appear in various backstories, including the prologue under Valleystar's Reign. Her name is Layla, and she is a kittypet living in the Lambent Enclaves with her owners. She plays with Applepaw but after almost accidentally leading him to be captured by her two-legs, she becomes fearful and only begins to visit during The Springtide Festival, where her two-legs are too preoccupied to notice. She develops a close bond with Valleystar, later joining her clan and moving in with her kits. She becomes Dawnspark after a confrontation with coyotes that claimed the life of her friend, Applebreeze. She becomes a full moor-runner. Due to her talent and leadership qualities she's promoted to the Council, before finally settling at deputy. When Valleystar passes away from greencough, Dawnspark is at her side and is warned she will have to take her place as her and her kits are far too frail to lead. Dawnspark later receives her nine lives from Starclan, ending Valleystar's Reign and beginning her own.

*Dawnstar's Reign*

She is first seen naming her kits, Tarragonpaw and Acaciapaw, as fully named and trained cats of the clan. She reflects on Valleystar and Applebreeze's respective deaths while granting them their new names, Tarragonglaze and Acacialight. She later is seen speaking with Windsear, preparing for and welcoming the Tourists, when she is tackled and welcomed by Cleo, a friendly kittypet who began visiting regularly during Dawnstar's Reign. She then is seen giving a speech, and opening her prey pile for the Tourists to feast from. Dawnstar leaves camp, leading to her being pursued by Snowthistle, who introduces himself. The two conversate, leading to Snowthistle telling Dawnstar about his past, and how he got his name after her curious inquiries. Interested in recruiting the tom, Dawnstar thinks on what he said, before coming to the realization he may know a cat from his previous clan, and possibly even his mother, based on appearance alone. Dawnstar gambles on this and brings the tom back to camp where he introduces him to Skyrose. The two immediately seem to recognize one another. Snowthistle asks to join The Clan of Sunlit Prairies to which Dawnstar replies that he should at least view the territory he's interesting in inhabiting. She leads them to The Mauve Incline where she tells him about the territory history. She discovers a hare's den with nesting kits inside, prompting her to mention that her clan respects the cycle of life. She then offers Snowthistle a chance to hunt in the territory, giving him a chance to show off his hunting skills to her. They proceed to catch a hare together, and thoroughly pleased by his approach, she prompts him to join, as her temporary apprentice. Snowthistle agrees, and the three return to camp. She calls a meeting, during which she's interrupted rudely by Carrionsaunter, who challenges the decision and lack of a trial given. Dawnstar is furious from this, and after finishing the meeting she retreats into her den in an attempt to keep herself from acting out.

She is scarcely referenced in a dream that Bloompaw and Tansypaw receive from Valleystar where the molly hints of further coming danger with such blatant weakness at it's head. Dawnstar is referenced regularly as rash, acting out of her sense of what she thinks is right rather than what truly is, and she's easily swayed by flattery, while she also holds qualities of being brutally toxic, with negative qualities for cats she sees less superior and allowing herself to build walls between her and her clanmates, isolating those she does not prefer to a degree that their death will not seek the same recognition as some cat she sees as worthy. Valleystar, who gained infinite knowledge upon becoming a member of Starclan, unfortunately was unaware of many of these qualities when she'd been moving her rapidly up the ranks to succeed her after her passing. It's hinted that to a degree Valleystar genuinely regrets this decision, and the brewing storm coming has little to do with the clan, more Starclan's fury.

In the early morning of the next day, Dawnstar sees off the Tourists from their territory. Dawnstar is later mentioned various times by Acacialight, who bad-mouths her for various reasons, one of which including how the molly had almost abandoned her and her brother as a kit. She is later seen calling together Skyrose and Silvershrine for a training session with their apprentices, with a hunting patrol planned afterwards.

Dawnstar appears in a scene where she is hunting along the Conservatory of Refuge, catching a small hare she'd chased there through the forest. The Bengal meets Faithe, a loner who presents herself kindly and offers prey to the Matriarch. Dawnstar, instantly flattered, invites the molly over the border and agrees rather quickly to her request to join. The two conversate then race across the moors, ending in camp where Dawnstar has Faithe leave her prey on the pile, and she apologizes quickly as she's pulled away by Lavendersnow, who looks furious. Lavendersnow pulls her into the medicine den where Petalpaw and Sharpsun are injured, with Lavendersnow treating the tom and Decayingbelladonna wrapped around a half-treated Petalpaw. Confused, she inquires what was happening, leading Petalpaw to pipe up about an omen she confessed she saw while she was out. This sets off Lavendersnow, who seemingly had prepared a whole argument for the exact occasion, leaving Dawnstar dumb-founded. She attempts to silence the molly who speaks over her, leading Dawnstar to snap at her. Lavendersnow backs down, but doesn't stop yowling answers to Dawnstar's questions over Petalpaw, which irritates the Matriarch. Dawnstar leads the two out of the medicine den, inviting them to speak on what they'd seen in private without interruption, as Dawnstar was genuinely interested and curious, unknowing much of the significance of signs of what it truly meant to Starclan when they were interpreted by the wrong cats. She attempts to have Decayingbelladonna speak for Petalpaw, seeing as the molly is still very unwell from her injury, but Decayingbelladonna, for whatever reason, is unwilling to speak. This further frustrates Dawnstar, but she stays relaxed while Petalpaw does her best to explain what had happened. Petalpaw, still unwell, grows sick in the den, leading Dawnstar to dismiss the conversation until Petalpaw was feeling well enough to talk. It's implied that this scene fuels a lot of Dawnstar's current fury about Decayingbelladonna, as she has a strong bond with Petalpaw and is incapable of understanding why she might've choked in that moment. She takes Petalpaw back to the medicine den where Decayingbelladonna retreats, leaving Dawnstar to speak to Peachpurr and inquire about treatment. After comforting the worried apprentice Dawnstar beckons Sharpsun to follow her, where she the dulls out a punishment to the tom for his part to play in Petalpaw's injuries, siting that since Petalpaw herself confessed to attacking him, and since she didn't seem confused, the tom would be let off the hook besides some general nursery maintenence alongside Petalpaw to hopefully help them manage to get along.

Later, she is seen in a scene where Velvetkit finds a mouse and allows Shellkit to catch it, leading to the two kits to sneak across camp to make it to her den. They find her, and after some waiting for her to finish speaking with Sharpsun the molly is immediately met by Carrionsaunter, who had caught the two outside the den and had Velvetkit in his jaws in preperation to return her to the nursery. Dawnstar shrugs him off, asking why they'd wanted to visit. The two point out the mouse, and the Bengal is immediately pleased. Dawnstar promises Shellkit an early apprenticeship if she could prove she was working hard and eating more to grow big and strong. Shellkit immediately agrees, and Dawnstar sends the pair back to the nursery with the mouse.

She's seen in a scene where she's inquired about hunting patrols, where she calls one together consisting of Bumblesnap, Beepaw, Skyrose, Tansypaw, Carrionsaunter, and Acacialight, but at that moment she realizes the molly is missing from camp. She holds the patrol off until the molly returns from whatever she had been doing, she grows irritable and later furious as the early morning rolls over to midday, then near sunset. During this time she is approached by Faithe, who requests to officially be integrated into the clan. Decayingbelladonna supports her friend in this moment, and the two present the idea to Dawnstar for 'skip to be her suffix, with Faithe giving credit where it's due to Decayingbelladonna for the suggestion. Dawnstar, who is more eager to appease her guest than uphold the tradition of the leader selecting the name, accepts this without question, though she dismisses Decayingbelladonna repeatedly, indicating the molly has not yet forgiven her for the earlier incident with Petalpaw. Dawnstar continues to hold this grudge, and the tension is picked up on by Faithe, who doesn't speak up on it as Dawnstar ushers the mental medicine cat away. Despite offering the molly to choose the entirety of her name, as in keeping part of her current one, she declines, giving the Bengal the opportunity to name her Brightskip, a name she thought suitable as she had faith in the molly's bright future in the clan. The ceremony is held on the spot, and since there are no cats in camp to interject, the ceremony succeeds with little issue. Brightskip retreats to the medicine den, leaving Dawnstar alone atop the High Rock.

Dawnstar is mentioned in insults crafted by Brightskip as she comes to comfort her friend, making it clear she thought the Bengal's treatment of the molly was wrong. Decayingbelladonna however sulks, overthinking the situation and wallowing in self-pity.

Dawnstar later appears in the scene where Acacialight returns to camp. Dawnstar, beyond infuriated with her by this point, lunges from the Hig h Rock and begins a loud, threatening argument in front of the entire camp, telling Acacialight that she'd be punished for moons for making them wait, and even snarling the indication that she might make her a 'paw again if she didn't get her act together. Acacialight bites her tongue eventually, and is sent off with her patrol to hunt.

She is seen later in a scene with Carrionsaunter, when the tom returns home rather quickly after the patrol had sent out, and without the remaining cats with him. Still bitter from earlier, the molly approaches him and is scathing, creeping towards the tom like a hungry predator. Carrionsaunter quickly explains his reasoning for it, telling her that he'd discovered the corpse of Sharpsun on their territory. Dawnstar softens, loosening her body and allowing her pelt to flatten, soothing in almost an instant at the news. She questions him further, leading to the tom asking if she cared that the tom was dead. Dawnstar replies that she felt he was of no use to her, shrugging the tom off and leaving him alone to gather a patrol. She returns to her spot atop the High Rock, where cats continue to look at her wearily as she stares each of them down from atop her pedestal.

She appears once more later when the rest of the patrol she'd sent races into camp with few prey items to speak of. Dawnstar approaches instantly, catching their arrival from atop the High Rock before they'd even set paw in camp. Bumblesnap requests they speak in private, and after a disapproving glance at the prey Acacialight had caught, then a praise for Tansypaw, the Bengal returns her attention to Bumblesnap, inquiring the reason. She seems to shrug it off quickly though, not giving him a chance to properly reply and instead quickly leading them away. Bumblesnap apologizes, receiving a brush-off from the Bengal, who truly had no idea of what was coming. During this time, she thinks fondly of Bumblesnap, Beepaw, Skyrose, as well as Tansypaw, siting different reasons for each, with her main draw towards Bumblesnap and his sister being her former friendship with their father, Applebreeze. She listens intently as Bumblesnap explains that they'd caught badger scent, and Dawnstar is immediately put off. She sited to have never seen a badger properly by this point, though she was knowledgeable enough to fight one, having practiced it on cats in the past. Eager to prove herself as a strong and capable leader, and also out of terror of the threat, Dawnstar rushes to the conclusion that they need to confront the badger head-on. Bumblesnap and Tansypaw request to join, and Dawnstar- after realizing that most of the fighting rank cats were missing from camp- decides to select Tarragonglaze, Acacialight, Adderfrond, Brightskip, Windsear, and Dancingwhisper to join the patrol. Each cat cycles thoughts of mutual confusion over the choice as well as shared terror, seeing as most of the cats selected for a serious fight were mainly only hunting class ranks. Dawnstar however doesn't share a second thought on it, instead rushing them straight out into the territory, having Bumblesnap lead them to the exact spot he'd caught the scent.

Acacialight gives her mother grief throughout the duration of the travel in the form of insults directed at her. She's soothed by Adderfrond, who she mistakenly assumes is egging her on, leading her to continue to strengthen her insults to the point that Dawnstar's pelt is ruffled against her spine. Eventually Dawnstar is forced to whip around and snap at her, though this only fuels Acacialight more, causing her to continue on up to the point where they detect a roaming scent. Dawnstar is confused alongside the rest of the patrol, and it is implied that the scent has moved and refreshed since the patrol had last been there. Dawnstar orders her patrol to stay back, though Acacialight doesn't listen and instead pads directly infront of the grove, where a pair of jet-black eyes blink back at her. Dawnstar yowls for her to retreat, and Acacialight looks ready to argue when a badger erupts from behind her. Without skipping a beat, Dawnstar dashes forward and grabs Acacialight, tossing her daughter over her shoulder and sending her rolling into Adderfrond. She orders the attack, and the patrol advances. Dawnstar is notably tanking the badger, forcing it's attention to lock in a transfixing fight with her, with yowls split in between to further taunt the beast and recapture it's attention when lost, though the battle wavers despite this. Since too many cats cower from the threat, the badger is not overwhelmed, easily landing a blow on Windsear that Dawnstar is initially convinced killed him. She yowls for him, losing focus and taking a heavy blow to her flanks, shattering her hip and sending her reeling backwards. She continues to fight on though once Windsear comes to, aiming violent attacks directly at the badger's face and managing a few violent blows. As the energy wavers though, Dawnstar becomes wildly aware of the severity of the situation, recognizing that this battle is not one they can win. She calls a retreat, ordering her cats to scatter into the moors to confuse the beast, with Dawnstar hanging back to aim a blow at the badger's eye, raking it through and permanently blinding the massive beast. She too turns to escape, but she stops in her tracks upon realizing that Acacialight is frozen in terror, and the badger's sights are locked entirely on her. Dawnstar doesn't give herself a moment to think, nor does she seem to have any intention of ending this any other way. She leaps over Acacialight, giving the molly just enough time to escape in the form of the sacrifice of her first life as she's struck in the neck by the badger. Dawnstar is killed instantaneously on impact.

She later appears somewhere pure-white. Peering down at her pelt, it is revealed that whilst the leader's wounds are healing from a lost life, they appear as embedded crystals inside of the leader that flicker and glow overtime. Dawnstar is off-put by this, especially when she realizes that there was no land coming to greet her, nor were there cats, rather an expanse of blinding light for fox-lengths. Dawnstar discovers this when she begins to pad through, eventually finding the grounds she believes is Starclan, though she questions exactly why she was left stranded far from it, rather than being straight there. She realizes as well as she dashes through the moors that the sky is different as well, moving alongside her with swelling clouds that she describes as "appearing to be breathing." After further travel she eventually comes upon territory that is reminiscent of the Conifer of Passion, and upon further inspection it's revealed that several shapes collect at the base of it. Dawnstar approaches, and notes that the shapes look like cats, putting her faith instantly into the fact that these cats *must* be Starclan cats. She interprets the rolling manifestations as cats worshipping the tree, and she briefly considers joining them under the pretense that it might help her return home sooner. She abandons this idea momentarily though, changing direction to searching for other cats, since her attempts to interact with these fell short. She learns that she can scale the skies in Starclan, and uses this to her advantage to reach what she believes to be a tom. The shape, resembling a cloud and morphing like one, unsurprisingly doesn't have anything to saw when Dawnstar attempts to speak to it, though it does seem to recognize her as being *there*, as it peers past her to keep sight of the shapes down below. Dawnstar in uncomfortable by this, and retreats below where she wallows, trying to give herself answers to the questions she made about the situation. Her Nine Lives Ceremony is first mentioned here, where it is implied that she did not have a positive experience with Starclan prior to this event, either. She's frustrated, unable to understand what she'd done wrong, and it's hinted that this isn't her first dilemma over the topic. It is also indicated through the text that prior to this event, somewhere along the line of her rise to power she struggled with her faith, though it is unclear at the time whether that has anything to do with *her* side of it or Starclan's.

After her revival, she is greeted by her deputy, her family, and her closest friends. She looks dazed and has lingering essence of thought tracing back to Starclan and her growing doubt, though otherwise she feels entirely normal and fine, aside from a dreadful crack when her neck is turned. Acacialight is overjoyed to see her breathing and moving once more, and she accidentally hurts the Matriarch in her attempts to crawl in closer to her. She's told off by Lavendersnow, who is taking care of Dawnstar and checking her injuries. She prompts Skyrose during her moment of weakness to act in support of her clan, asking them to rest rather than continue tearing themselves apart working after the attack. Once off, she turns to Lavendersnow, prompting her about the meeting. After several heart-beats of waiting and irritation swelling between the two, Lavendersnow shares her meeting for the entirety of the clan to hear, a piece about Starclan's influence causing the attacks and awful weather that have began to lead to injuries within the clan. Taken in and transfixed by this news, Dawnstar makes it clear to her clanmates that any disrespect shown to Starclan, and by extension Silkstar, in anyway will not at all be tolerated, and in fact punished when brought to light.

**Moon 2**

The first cat to suffer under this new ruling is Shallowshrine, who she punishes directly through a mock-trial in front of the audience of the clan for failing to say thanks to Starclan, the action reported to her by Carrionsaunter. The pair appear in a scene where Carrionsaunter is seen returning from a hunting patrol, where he asks her opinion on his catch, as though seeking praise. When the Bengal leader brushes this off, Carrionsaunter turns his attention on Shallowshrine, who he degrades and hazes before he bolts out of camp. Dawnstar is seen enabling this behavior when she refuses to intercept Carrionsaunter, rather watching silently from the side-lines.

She is seen once more in a scene with Cloverpool, when the molly returns to camp for an unknown reason to the leader, and she witnesses her attempting to take prey from the fresh-kill pile admist a heavy storm. She interrupts her, and scolds her for forgetting to provide prey to the Queens, Kits, and Elders before taking prey for herself. Cloverpool obliges to the request, though quite silently, which aggravates the Bengal cat. She swipes sand into the prey she'd taken for herself, and condemns her by making her eat the soiled prey only after she does her duty in returning with proper food for the clan's young. She leaves the molly to it, but suspiscious now as she turns to leave camp to eat her prey, Dawnstar begins to follow her from camp. Cloverpool catches on faintly at this, but Dawnstar is multiple paw-steps ahead at each bend, resulting in the molly eventually leading her back to a starving, frail Shallowshrine.

Later, she is shown inviting Petalpaw into her den, where the molly begins a pleasant interaction between the two, full of love, admiration, and praise for the molly. She lovingly soothes her and describes her perfections, working her back up to the best of the Matriarch's ability. When Petalpaw prompts over the omen, Dawnstar is immediately excitable and curious over the prospect. She thinks on it immediately, taken by the heavy descriptions and the detailed pattern of speech, she thinks aloud until Petalpaw grows wary from her skeptical thoughts. She sees her out of the den, prompting her to eat, showing clear concern and care for the molly. She returns back to her den only briefly before Halfdusk asks to speak with her. He inquires about visiting the Reservoir of the Paragons to speak with Starclan, and Dawnstar immediately obliges, although she is somewhat distracted at the time. Thoughts still wrapped with the omen, she asks Halfdusk for Starclan's permission to interpret the meaning of the omen, considering Lavendersnow wasn't being much help at the moment. Halfdusk seemingly agrees and sees himself out quickly, though Dawnstar's mind is racing far too much for her to notice him tearing out of her den.

## Detailed Appearance

She is a massive, deep, golden-brown rosetted Bengal molly with soft hazel eyes. Once a show cat, Dawnstar had been forced and pulled at constantly by two-legs with rough hands and sharp claws, pulling her fur until not a single knot remained. She would constantly groom it back to the way she liked it, though she learned quickly that this only resulted in more petting with the sharp paws. She began to groom her fur in a sleek line down rather than in whichever way was deemed necessary, and she finds it hard to feel comfortable in the moor environment. She often is grooming herself to clean any dirt from her pelt, and she doesn't seem to enjoy getting dirty. She's very sleek and glossy, making her have an obvious kittypet appearance. Her eyes are narrow and almond shaped, with a light hooded look, and long lashes. Her deep hazel eyes seem to almost change color in certain lighting. Her narrow gaze seems sharp to some cats, intimidating them. Her eyes are often narrow, and her pupils are almost never dilated. She has them in thin slits. In darker areas such as her den or in the forest territories, her eyes come off as dark brown, though in the sun they're a pale sparkly golden brown. She has elongated tops, giving her the appearance of a wing at the end of her eye. Her brow sits nicely somewhat high above her face, and is protruding out slightly, before sloping down her steep, narrow muzzle to her nose. Her nose is small and flat in a very distinct triangular shape, sharper in the corners and often very cool and wet. Her muzzle line is long as is her muzzle, and her face resting is usually flat, and almost irritated looking. She has high cheekbones that curve with her soft cheek fur, before rounding out downwards towards her chin and slightly protruding. Her fur behind her ears is feathery soft, and where her ears rest on her head they're angled slightly along the side of her head, though pressed far forward. This gives her the appearance of having her good hearing, and cats would be correct on that front. Her cheek fur is soft yet shows no visible sign of pluming as it travels down her face towards her chin. Her chin is somewhat wide and large, yet angled into an almost square formation. She's got a small forehead and smaller ears, with wide narrow eyes and a small bridge. Her neck is somewhat thick, with very soft fur starting at the base of her head before growing more coarse as it leads to her chest, though she still stays feathery. Her chest is well muscled and clearly outlined as such, with an arc separating her shoulders. Her chest is large and often puffed outwards, giving her an intimidating appearance. Her shoulder blades are thin and sharp, angling upwards behind her neck on her body. She has strong, long, muscular legs and well defined muscles along them, going well with her well defined jawline. Her paws are large and hold within them incredibly sharp, needle-like claws. Her legs slope upwards and have a slightly protruding elbow, which seems to be the only bony part of her body. She has a delicate, silky soft belly with a long scar that starts at the beginning of it, slicing cleanly down to nearly the base of her tail from a surgical procedure performed on her by two-legs many months ago. It’s since healed and her fur grew back, though it makes her relatively easy to harm. She has very strong haunches, and though her back does not slope down at all, her haunches are still somewhat large, indicating at one point she did rest her haunches like normal cats. She stands up as straight as she can manage, and her body is quite long. Her hind legs are incredibly strong and powerful, with soft fur along her hindquarters. She’s got a very thick based, long tail, with the tail growing thinner the closer cats get to the tip. Her tail is incredibly long compared to the rest of her body, almost being her full body length in size. Her tail is very slick and soft, and she uses it for plenty of things, such as cleaning, dusting, or even just resting on. She uses it in battle, and alongside her lightning fast reflexes, cats believe she at times is as quick as a gust of wind, and has the precision of a bolt of lightning, hence her name. Her tail is striped, becoming paler in color at the tip than the base. When her tail bushes up, she becomes incredibly large. Her tail does not look as if it will become very large, though it bushes to a massive bush-like shape. Her spine is sleek and long, giving her a very large stature. She stands tall and far above the normal height of regular cats, and oftentimes towers over all the cats in her clan. She’s a very intimidating looking cat, especially since her face still looks very harsh and cruel. She is very light hearted and can often be one of the most fun cats one may meet. She’s friendly and optimistic at times, and her body language is very open, welcoming, and sweet. She purrs often and bobs her head when moving, keeps her tail high above her head constantly and walks with a sort of bounce, even when running. She almost seems in slow motion, padding on clouds when she’s running. Her ears pin back and flow lightly, and her whiskers brush against her cheeks, gently pressing into her cheeks. Her whiskers themselves are quite long and flowy, with long, silky strands. Her deep golden-brown pelt has sleek, deep dark tips to each strand of fur, giving her a sort of smoke effect on some parts of her fur. Her deep spots are very dark and glossy, almost a jet-black coloration, with darker brown spots along her spine where the sun bathes upon her the strongest. She has a soft, thicker tuft of fur at the base of her tail and silky soft fur just behind her ears, and a large primordial pouch that protects her organs from being swiped at.

## Backstory

*Disclaimer: This is the OLD old version of Dawnstar's backstory, and has a large number of continuity errors due to it being created before the rest of the details that came along with Sunlit Prairies' creation. Since her backstory is practically rehashed entirely in the prologue as part of her introduction, it will not be rewritten.*

She had a very peaceful childhood. She was born a tiny kitten, the largest of her litter. She was favored by her two-leg breeders and those who came to visit and watch over her. She was favored for the richness of her pelt, and due to how opaque it was. She was kept by her two-legs and raised with them, living with her mother, though the two were never close. Her name was BENGAL 357 when she was a kitten, and was to be sold had she not been born with her perfectly rosetted pelt. She'd begun to hear about the clan beyond her housefolk's home, the Clan of Sunlit Prairies, and a spring festival that welcomed all visitors, welcoming the kittypets, loners, and rogues alike to make friends within the clan and even possibly join. Due to how adventurous and excitable she could be, she decided to visit one spring alongside other neighborhood kittypets. She met many cats, including one cat that would grow to be her greatest friend, Applepaw. He was to become a full Guard, allowing the kittypets to experience the ceremony and imagine themselves in this position. She had immediately begun to imagine herself, mainly atop the rock, giving Applepaw his new name. He was named Applebreeze, and the two quickly began to train together. Applebreeze had told her he thought it was strange she didn't have a real name, and he began calling her Dawn due to the dawn-like color of her pelt. She found it silly, but she appreciated the gesture. She became obsessed with clan life, and began visiting even when the festivals were not active. She thought time and time again about leaving her two-legs, but decided she would wait to make a decision. She had begun to become incredibly skilled, and Valleystar suggested time and time again she became a Tunneler, based on her speed even underground. She wasn't entirely sure what she wanted. Though Valleystar was welcoming, she was still worried. Her two-legs once caught her far outside the territory, and attempted to beckon Applebreeze forward during one of their training sessions, making her afraid to leave her garden in the chance that Applebreeze may be taken away. She ended up staying home, only dreaming of life back out on the moors. She grew up and ended up gaining the name Layla from her two-legs, and as soon as she was physically mature enough she was paired with a tom, who she quickly fell for. The tom was charming and took advantage of how naive Layla was, and she quickly became pregnant. After this, the tom was taken away, never to be seen again. Layla always wondered when the two-legs would bring him back, the only thing she remembered about the exchange was the two-legs handing each other green sheets. She had become stressed and had a very rough pregnancy, and ended up needing a C-section for the kits to come out safely. She gave birth to her two kits, named BENGAL 367 and BENGAL 368 by her two-legs. The two were twins, with paler fur. She decided to name them proper names after she was back home with the two, choosing the names Tarragonkit and Acaciakit. She knew she wanted her kits to know of the moor territories, and quietly during the Spring Festival, she took her two kits to visit the clan. She was immediately greeted by Applebreeze, who was thrilled to see her again. Layla greeted him excitedly, and the tom commented about her collar. She shrugged it off, and introduced her kits. He was excited for her, and attempted to talk her into staying. The molly had shook her head, telling him that her duty was to her two-legs. She had serious anxiety about her kits being taken from her, however, like her siblings were taken away from her. She thought long and hard about it, only to begin to take her kits back after the Festival was over. The kits cried, though Layla kept moving. She couldn't bare to leave them with the clan without her. Though on the way back home, she couldn't take it any longer, and the molly returned with her kits. She took off her collar, and the molly placed it beside the road beside her territory, as well as placing fur where it lay, suggesting she had been hit so her two-legs would not look for her. She joined the clan and was given the name Dawnspark, immediately proving her worth. Her kits were apprenticed to Applebreeze and another cat, and Dawnspark couldn't have been more proud. She had endured it all, the toughest leafbare and a dog attack caused by Acaciapaw, after she was chased by a dog and came looking for her mentor for help. Applebreeze was killed, and the clan was upset with Acaciapaw, but while he died, Applebreeze told them not to blame her. He passed away, leaving Dawnspark heartbroken yet again. She comforted her daughter after this. When the dog returned, Dawnspark attacked it without thinking, and clawed out the eyes of it, though she was injured. Valleystar admired her courage to protect her clan, and after seeing her clear leadership qualities and strengths on patrols, she made her deputy. Valleystar was later killed by rats during an attack in Silkstar's Fall, naming Dawnstar as leader at only 24 months. She came back with her nine lives with her clanmates and cleared out the rats for good, losing a life in the process. She grew and later named her two kits full grown, giving them their names Tarragonglaze and Acacialight. She has since lost her first life, and has only let her Mental Medicine cat know of this death, though they are both unaware of how this could’ve happened. Dawnstar doesn’t think too much about it, and she doesn’t seem to care very much about it, not finding it very concerning. She has 8 more to spare afterall.

## Trivia

* She has had several mistakes with her eyecolor, to the point where it's just being chalked down to her eyes being called different colors in different lightings.
* For whatever reason her writer, (me, the admin writing this), cannot seem to remember anything about this cat, to a degree that she has been called a Moor-Runner more times than a Sentinel, the actual position she took. Disregard mentions of her being a Sentinel, I guess I changed my mind, Idk

## Where's This Coming From...?

Unsure of how a conclusion is reached somewhere? It'll likely be explained in the citation. Each of them are listed below here in the order they appear, with included details about the text/final outcomes explained prior to when they may have been included in the text itself.

1. ↑ Revealed as an injury sustained upon her revival several hours after her death. Her wound has healed, but she has lost most of her strength in that leg as a result, and the bones in her hip have become more fragile on that side of her body, making it a weaker point for her during fights.
2. ↑ Revealed by Dawnstar when rehashing the facts of her death. The molly sites she'd do it nine times over again if it meant saving Acacialight's life, and points out that it was so quick to the point that she hadn't even felt it.
