Their front right paw, back left paw, and half of their tail are all a dark brown. They have light forest green eyes and a scar along their shoulder. They also have a scar along their neck and half of their left ear is ripped off.

#### Personality:

Timberstar is a soft-spoken cat, but despite that, they have strong opinions regarding Clan politics. They speak their mind on issues that are important to them, without fear of consequences. Timberstar is a good listener and often watches other cats to see what they are up to. Despite this, they are bad at comforting others. They are a loner in nature and are often seen by themselves. Timberstar is a strong believer in accepting all types of cats as long as said cat has their heart in the right place and is loyal to their Clan.

## Detailed History

### Early Life:

Timberkit was born to a rogue she-cat named Ebony and a ShadowClan tom named Falconpelt. Falconpelt took the young cat in before they knew their mother's scent. Falconpelt lied to ShadowClan, saying that Timberkit was a kit he found abandoned. Falconpelt often ignored the kit because he had better things to do. Timberkit always wanted to prove themselves in any way they could to their father.

### Apprenticeship:

Timberpaw was apprenticed to a ShadowClan warrior named Ravensong. The apprentice's training went normally and they excelled in hunting but lacked in fighting. This weakness set back their apprenticeship by a moon. Timberpaw also had a crush on a cat named Deerpaw. The two often hung out together and trained together. One day Timberpaw and Deerpaw explored the ShadowClan tunnels and Deerpaw died from a rock slide. Timberpaw held a vigil for the tom for the longest time until they were instructed to leave the dead cat alone to be buried. During this time, Falconpelt told Timberpaw that their parents were him and a rogue named Ebony.

### Warrior Life:

Timberpaw earned their warrior name Timberbranch at the age of thirteen moons. They worked hard to be a respected warrior. One day they saved an apprentice named Darkpaw from the rogue Zilo. Seeing that the cat didn't have a mentor, Timberbranch started mentoring Darkpaw. After coming back from a hunting patrol a few moons later, the feline was shocked as Lakestar announced them to be ShadowClan's new deputy.

### Deputy Life:

Timberbranch kept mentoring Darkpaw until the tom passed his assessment and was named Darkmoon, a name that Timberbranch suggested. Their life continued as normal despite being deputy. They watched Lakestar as she led, wishing they could be of better help but never reaching out. Timberbranch walked Tumblebee, the RiverClan medicine cat, home one night after he finished training ShadowClan's solo medicine cat Toadpool. The two developed a bond and often meet by the border, soon becoming mates. On a solo border patrol at night, Timberbranch stopped a RiverClan apprentice named Venompaw from hunting over the border. They ate the mouse that the apprentice caught and was almost poisoned. This poisoning soon led to a fight between the apprentice and Timberbranch's former apprentice, Darkmoon, at a gathering. Soon after, Timberbranch was given another apprentice to mentor named Marshpaw. They also trained this apprentice until they earned their warrior name, Marshstalker. Their other apprentice was named Streampaw, who earned the name Streamwatcher. Soon after being made a warrior in the new territory, Streamwatcher died in an attack on SkyClan. A ShadowClan tom named Batfang taught Timberbranch how to swim and the two developed a bond. Before becoming official, Timberbranch told Tumblebee that they were polyamorus and wanted to be with Batfang and him. Tumblebee rejected the deputy and cut ties with them.
