## Detailed History

*Emberstar's Reign*

While she was deputy, Ravenlament was harsh and cruel, and often took out her anger on the clanmates whom she knew were half-clan, or former rogues. The clan stayed quiet about this, as not to upset her. It was a bad idea to get on her bad side. She became pregnant by an unknown tom while she was deputy, and though she still performed her duties well, she showed an uncharacteristic love for her kits, though their father was unknown to the clan, and the molly refused to tell any cat who he may have been. Ravenlament trained an apprentice during her reign, and fed her information that only the medicine cats and leader should know about, as well as teaching her to treat her clanmates harshly.

*Ravenstar's Reign*

Icepaw grew to look up to Ravenlament, and when she became leader, Icepaw awaited the day she’d become her deputy. Though during her reign, tragedy struck the clan, harsher than any frozen claws. A famine caused by oil spilling into the lake, killing all the prey and poisoning the formerly healthy. Ravenstar fought long and hard for her clanmates, and was the first to starve to death, over and over again. When her clan dispersed off the territory in search for a new home or food, Ravenstar stayed behind. Her body still lays on the beach where her clan once lived to this day.

*Chesnutstar's Reign*

Ravenstar began to grow restless in Starclan, sending signs and constantly searching for her lost clanmates, and often her lost daughter, but to no avail. When Chesnutstar joined Starclan, ultimately leaving her clanmates to die, Ravenstar confronted her. She was enraged, attacking her spirit and wiping any trace of her and her son from Starclan permanently.

*Ravenstar's Reign*

While in Starclan, Ravenstar grew bitter. Alongside her son on the council, the two of them seemed restless, constantly cursing their fellow Starclan members for what they allowed to happen to their clan. Ravenstar was especially heartbroken, thinking she hadn’t done enough for her clanmates, despite giving up every mouthful of food to any cat who needed it. Once Hiddenstar passed away and joined Starclan after being shot, he requested to be returned. Ravenstar was outraged, and told him that if Starclan could do that, Rippling Streams wouldn’t have disbanded. The Starclan cats informed her they *could* send cats back to the living. Ravenstar was furious, asking why they hadn’t done that for her, but will give Hiddenstar the chance. Many spirits agreed with her. Starclan seemed apologetic, yet they still gave Hiddenstar his chance to return. Ravenstar refused, and told them they’d need to send her back as well, under the stance that Hiddenstar had a living deputy, heir and kits to take his place, while her entire clan died before she had, and no cat was seemingly left to fix what happened. Starclan reluctantly obliged, and they sent her back first. Using all of the remaining spirits of Gurgling Waters, every cat gave up their soul to rebuild her body, sending her down to Earth alongside Hiddenstar. The two of them returned to Falling Skies, and Ravenstar took off to find what may remain of her clanmates, hopeful to find the ones who weren’t in Starclan. She discovered few remained, but she continued on, with Icepaw again by her side. The molly was immediately given her full name by the leader, and quickly they moved on. They discovered a tribe, led by an old tom living in the mountains, one cat by the name of The Moon Preacher. They were welcomed, though not by all cats, and Ravenstar became friends with him and his daughter, Harvester of the Crescent Moon. Once The Moon Preacher died in an accident while out on a walk with Ravenstar and Harvest, Ravenstar saved the life of his daughter, and almost himself. While he died, he granted Ravenstar ownership of him and his cats, sighting her as selfless. She became grateful and confident. She returned with the news and many cats left, though she still had her clanmates, and those of the tribe who appreciated what her and her clanmates had done for them. She made Harvester her deputy, and named her Harveststalker, under her request to become “like a clan cat.” Though Icecrown seemed less than impressed. They merged and became The Clan of Desolate Tundras. Ravenstar was discovered to be pregnant. One spiritual cat spoke to her, telling her she would not survive if she had these kits, and she continued with them anyway, sighting that they’d look after her clan when she was gone. Harveststalker supported her in her last moments as she struggled giving birth, and her last words were naming her three young kits, Silkkit, Jackdawkit, and Chickadeekit.

*Icestar's Reign*

Most of Icestar's decisions were based on past ideals instilled in her by a young Ravenstar. She sent her signs, omens, prophecies and the likes, though nothing seemed to stop her. During a battle Icestar caused against her own daughter, Ravenstar herself sent an ice spike from the ceiling to strike down the leader, though it only claimed four of her lives. She watched on from Starclan until Icestar was finally killed, accepting the blame for all that had happened.

*Silkstar's Reign*

Ravenstar guided her daughter's paws during troubling times, and even granted her strength on many occasions to succeed in leading her clanmates to the new territory.

*Dawnstar's Reign*

Unnamed, as she is unidentifiable at the time, Ravenstar appears in an omen that was sent loosely to the clan. Petalpaw picks up on it when knocked unconscious during a battle with Sharpsun, and she is immediately transported to Starclan, where she sees the field, blooming from young petals, before they die right before her eyes. She appears on the territory, stalking towards the the young apprentice before she tells her "there is a toxin among the flower buds, the petals will wilt if it is left to fester. The toxin must be purged before the storm." She suddenly, as if realizing who she was speaking to then vanishes from sight, a conspiracy of crows taking her place and swarming Petalpaw before she awakes.

She is mentioned when Petalpaw tells the medicine cats about the vision, but Lavendersnow dismisses it cruelly.

Theme Song/Voice Claim

* Voice Claim: Alexstrasza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_QSIZe5Rwc4&t=301s (She speaks similar to how she forms her sentences, as well. Many of the featured voice samples can easily be taken as direct quotes. The reverb effect is present in cats who've gone to Starclan, and her's is specifically amplified due to how ancient her spirit is.)
