Risingstar

**Risingstar** is a spotted black-and-white vitiligo she-cat with eerie yellow eyes.

**Specklekit**, born as the only kit of her mother - Lightstar's - first litter, had never a nice cat. Even more so, she was influenced from a young age by a dark tom famously known as Tigerstar, the former ShadowClan leader. However, she praised his dreams of ultimate power and death to those that were weak. This seemed to frighten her mother to see her young lively kitten turning into something of a nightmare. Lightstar tried to help that young lively kit come back however that only seemed to further Specklekit's ambition. She is later apprenticed as **Specklepaw** to a young warrior Lightstar saw potential in, Creamlight.

Specklepaw was soon influenced by Tigerstar to see what her mother's plan had been, Creamlight soon gave birth a litter of kits but continued to train Specklepaw. Creamlight now shared Lightstar's worry over the young she-cat's dark nature. This fear was soon brought true when one of Creamlight's kits soon went missing, later found a mangled mess. Unknown by most that Risingstar had indeed been the factor to that kit dying, Creamlight knew it was more of a warning to the two she-cats that had tried their best to change the young cat.

Specklepaw is made a warrior by the name of **Specklethorn** but not even shortly after she is caught killing the only living kit of Creamlight's litter, Hawkflight. Lightstar exiles her and she names herself Risingstar. She later is seen in DarkClan having just murdered their leader, King, and taking the title for her own naming Shadepelt her deputy after he shows his support.

## Description

### Appearance

Risingstar takes after her mother in size and stature, holding more of a muscular, bulkier, frame and being noticeably taller than the she-cat. She isn't very tall, standing only a foot over her mother. Her bulky frame gives her an advantage when it comes to battling, although through her father's side it can be noted that she holds somewhat of a cobby appearance as well. Her muscles shape a majority if her body, her head being mostly fur and bones with a few patches sticking up atop her head and from her cheeks. Her facial structure is an oval shape, similar to that of the oval shape of an almond. Her muzzle narrows out to appear a bit pointy just towards her nose tip, while her jawline drops a couple centimetres below that, she also carries a slender but thick throat and neck. When it comes to her voice it has been described as a sharp Irish accent that can't be missed.
Her ears aren't very small, being tall and rounded until the tips are seen then they seem to round off sharply. Her back and torso consist heavily of muscle and patchy fur. She continues to maintain her muscular, bulky frame primarily due to training viciously both within her sleep, in the Place of No Stars, and during the day training with her warriors and apprentices. She has broad shoulders, that have a thin layer of muscles along with the sharp, bony appearance. Her legs carry her heavy body being thick and long, as well as muscled almost as heavily and her back and haunches. Her tail is a normal length of an average cat, being thick and winding of which she uses for her balance. Risingstar's teeth are noted to be sharp and of a yellow color, her canines also extend just a bit to poke at the lips of her mouth.
Risingstar's fur, both in her childhood and currently in her adulthood, carries a soft, downy feel to it. The fur has grown out some, showing to be patchy and ragged. She also has tufts that stick out noticeably, primarily on her head, shoulders, chest, haunch, and tail. Her fur is shown to hold a dirty, unwashed look a majority of the time although it can show a glossy, clean appearance however this is rare for her. Her fur is short and dense, coming off her body only about two inches; this makes it difficult for her to stay warm during the colder seasons.
Her base pelt, before the mutation in her genes began showing, was a night black. She held the appearance of a tuxedo cat. However nearing her third to fourth moon of age, her pelt began to become more spotted with white. So much that by the time she was around six moons her pelt had fully been covered in white spotting, much like her mother's.
Risingstar's eyes sit in a fixed position a few inches above her nose and nose bridge. Her eyes are a overall color of yellow seeming to burn as more of an orange amber than anything.
### Character

Risingstar's character is straightforward, being that she is a cruel, manipulative, and greedy she-cat. She is shown to be pessimistic and when it comes down to it a very jealous she-cat that would kill to keep the attention on herself. She holds a superior complex, often telling others that compared to StarClan she is a god, this might be primarily due to the fact that at a such a young age the she-cat rose to power. Her ambition coming solely from thus event, the naming of her as deputy only causing her to want more than her fair share. She believed that because "she is a god" that she and she alone deserved the power of a leader thus striking her blood-lust to have control of the other Clans. Her blood-lust and ambition eventually fueling her uprising against her predecessor. She seems to have a strong case of narcissism, this can be thrown into her belief that she's a god. As a narcissistic character, she believes that no matter she is always right while the cat she can be arguing with is wrong. She is easily offended, often raising the claw in her defense even if she *is* in the wrong, this goes into her thinking she is always right. She often boasts of her skills, the lot being how easily she could kill someone without even thinking twice of it.
She is so manipulative that when it comes down to it, she has very little care for those harmed in the process. Her followers tend to be the smaller, more loner type cats who she spouts false promises to. Normally out of these loner types she often executes them and states that they betrayed her loyalty. She states that she has little to no love for those around her, this has proven true due to the abuse she gives her mother and younger half siblings. She is very easily angered, as said above she takes out her anger on anyone in her way and will not hesitate to kill them either; even if they are innocent and had no doing in her reason for the anger.
She, as stated above, is a master manipulator. She finds the weakness in every cat under her to exploit and manipulate. She can easily gather the public under her words, being a excellent speaker when it comes to getting those for her greedy cause. She can, however, be rather charismatic and has been shown to fake her caring for others to get close before tearing their world apart.
Risingstar is a very selfish cat, only thinking of herself. She is said to not know anything of love despite the fact that her mother coddled and spoiled her as an adolescent. Some speak on the young leader, stating that is where she went wrong. She holds her reputation above everything else, only believing that she must never show any weaknesses and she does stay true to this. The she-cat shows *very* little about her emotions outside of anger as well as her personal life.
She is a very intelligent cat, she often prefers physiological warfare as she seems to be excellent at this due to her manipulation skills. However, she can fight if it came down to it.
### Abilities

Risingstar possesses many skills, her most noticeable one being her physiological warfare that she uses on her enemies. She is known as one of the best in history with this technique, being one of the few that have used it aside from her Place of No Stars mentor Tigerstar. Her mental skills seem to be far more advanced than that of her physical ones, seeing as she's known to be a master manipulator amongst the Clans and even outside of them.
She possesses very few physical skills, her muscles and overall training as a fighter not being the absolute best, however, she seems to fare pretty good in that area due to her constant training. She pushes herself both mentally and physically, so far as it's believed that she has been deemed the *Brokenstar* of her time.
Her battle techniques often include her small *gang* of cats ambushing her enemy, leaving her out of the line of direct attack and leaving her goonies in the way of harm.
## Biography

Born into StreamClan as the leader, Lightstar's, only kit of her first litter, **Specklekit** was practically spoiled during the first few moons. That was until she began to meet with a dark tabby tom in her dreams and Lightstar began to notice a massive change in her lively daughter's attitude gone dark. Specklekit seems more interested in spreading death and fear after the first few meetings with the former ShadowClan leader. Fearful and scared, Lightstar meets with StarClan and her fears are confirmed. Specklekit will lead a life of great darkness but Lightstar had a chance to change that if she made the right choice.
Upon returning home to apprentice her daughter, **Speckelpaw**, she gives her Creamlight in hopes that the she-cat can erase any darkness that Tigerstar has pushed into her daughter. However, things only seem to worsen. Unseen by any during this time, Specklepaw ends up killing a loner queen that had been passing through except that wasn't all. She had also ended up murdering the queen's kits as well, later found by Creamlight who shows horror but Specklepaw simply just shrugs and say that they weren't the Clan's worry due to being outsiders.
Creamlight immediately corrects her almost angrily, perhaps the gravest mistake she could make. After being scolded, Specklepaw goes back to camp only to sneak out later. She had led Crealight's youngest to his death, the kit's body is later found mangled by the rocks that had fallen on him. Creamlight is upset but remains quiet upon finding out. Her fears were true, it was too late to save Specklepaw from her dark future.
Specklepaw is made a warrior **Specklethorn** and is caught several moons later killing Hawkflight, another of Creamlight's kits. She is banished from her birth Clan but that would not be the end of her terror.
Specklethorn, soon renamed to Risingstar, quickly moves into DarkClan territory where she meets an oddly small tom who claims to be the Clan's leader, King. She scoffs and signals a challenge. It didn't take long for her to silence the tom forever and bring his body to their camp where she claims the title of leader. She is confronted by King's son, Shadepelt, who questions her story.
Of course, Risingstar gives him every single detail to which Shadepelt responds that if she could single-handedly take down his father then she deserved his respect.

## Relationships

### Family

**Lightstar**

Risingstar held a love for her mother in the beginning but something within the young cat had snapped when she had met Tigerstar. Her relationship with her mother soon crumbled when she was made an apprentice and given Creamlight as her mentor to try and force her back to the light but both cats had failed in that process and for their 'sin' she would make Creamlight regret ever getting involved. She first killed Creamlight's youngest kit, although unnamed, his body is found later mangled from some rocks. The kit was the only death that could not be pointed back to Risingstar. The last death that she spent on Creamlight had soon gotten her caught, her son Hawkflight. This was the death that got her banished from her home-Clan. The last words she ever said to Lightstar were something along the lines of 'you'll regret ever starting this'.
### Peers

**Creamlight**

Risingstar and Creamlight, total opposites as chosen by Lightstar to bring her daughter back to the light. However, they failed to do just that. The young she-cat grew worse and just such took the life of both kits from Creamlight's first litter. She however, does not know that she bore a second litter shortly just after Risingstar was banished. Even though Creamlight has long since passed away, the two remain almost rival-like through a one-sided hate given by the young DarkClan leader.
### Murders

* Commited: **3**
* Suspected For: **3**
* Accounted For: **2**

**Creamlight's Firstborn Murder**

Risingstar doesn't have much to say about her first murder, aside from the fact that it was done to get back at her mother and Creamlight. Of course, she never even considered the fact that he was just a kitten. Of course, that's the worst about the she-cat. She didn't even consider the life she had took as she had led the young tom to his death.
**Hawkflight's Murder**

Many reasons can be assumed as to why she killed the young tom, the first being that it was another way to get back at Creamlight. Of course, another could be that she could have felt something of 'love' or 'affection' towards him and he refused to give. Risingstar is highly known for killing when she doesn't get her way as shown with Creamlight and her mother.
**King's Murder**

Risingstar's murder of King seemed almost 'colleague-like' or something of the like. She wanted a leader position and DarkClan is about the only Clan that sees some of her views. She challenged the tom knowing he wouldn't deny a challenge, of course it was against their code for her too had killed his predecessor. Bringing about King's death even brought her the one that would support her cause.
