## APPEARANCES

### Living:

*A Song of the Wild*, *Sylvester's Secret*, *Patchcloud's Path*, *Foxtail's Past*, *Quickstar's Vow*, *Meaningful Fate*

### Dead:

*Quickstar's Vow*

**Quickstar** is a small, battle-scarred dark brownish-ginger tabby she-cat with jagged dark brown stripes, a white belly, chest and paws and dark amber eyes. She has a deep scratch on her right shoulder, sharp, shiny claws, very long, fluffy fur and a fuzzy, stumpy tail with a white underside.

**Quickstar** was the eighth Leader of EarthClan, previously a Warrior and Deputy under Maplestar. She was born to Lidia and Hamill, along with her siblings Nol, Bunny and Lina, and lived as a Kittypet named **Blink** before joining EarthClan with her friends Pearl and Violet and receiving the name of **Quickpaw**, being assigned Wolfmuzzle as a Mentor. **Quickclaw** earned her Warrior name and quickly ascended to Deputy once Owltalon stepped down from the Deputy position. She mentored her adopted son Wildfire, along with the former Loner Mudtail.

After Maplestar's death, she rose to Leader as **Quickstar**, appointing Owltalon as her Deputy. She later passed the role to Wolfmuzzle after Owltalon's death in the fight with FireClan at the Wetlands, where she also lost her first life. She took Wolfmuzzle as her first mate and later had his kits, Owlkit, named after Owltalon, and Wolfkit, named after Wolfmuzzle. Before having kits with Wolfmuzzle, she accidentally had the ForestClan Warrior Houndspots's kits, Snowkit and Cloudkit, and gave them to Tallfern as to not raise suspicion. After a shaky relationship with Wolfmuzzle, the two split up, and Quickstar instead became mates with Houndspots, having another litter of kits, Brindlekit and Volekit.

She lost her final life after about ten years of leading EarthClan, from her old age and the Deathcough that she refused to let Snowfrost treat. Her Deputy at the time, Wildfire, then stepped up as the next Leader.

## **PERSONALITY AND TRAITS**

Quickstar is notably snappish and short-tempered. She is unbelievably stubborn and determined, and won't stop until she gets what she wants. She is also fearless, as noted by the fact that she fought off a dog even as a Kittypet.

She seems selfish and cynical, but Quickstar is actually very selfless, refusing to be treated until all of her Clanmates are tended to first. Despite having a snappy personality, she noticeably softens up a good deal when she's around her close friends. She also immensely enjoys compliments and praise, even if she doesn't show it.

Despite not seeming like it, Quickstar can sometimes be dense, not realizing certain things going on in her Clan even when she led it.

## **RELATIONSHIPS**

### **Lidia**

Quickstar was always closer with her mother than with her father. She loved and respected her deeply, and longed for her approval. She was very sad to leave her when she and her siblings were separated from her.

### **Hamill**

Quickstar didn't know her father very well. All she had thought of him as was a very brave cat, for living out in the streets instead of with a Twoleg. She seemingly got her fearlessness from him, as she had always aspired to be like him.

### **Bunny**

Quickstar admired Bunny greatly. She, him and Nol always went on escapades together before they were separated from Lidia and each other. She was very disappointed that he didn't accept her offer to join EarthClan when she asked him about it, as she thought he would fit right in.

### **Nol**

Quickstar was always somewhat annoyed by Nol, but in a way that siblings are annoyed by each other. She still loved him, just hated his guts and thought of him as annoying. Even then, she loved spending time with him, even when he got them both caught in a trap and sent to the Kittypet Spawn.

### **Lina**

Quickstar wasn't as close with Lina as she was with her other siblings, but she loved her nonetheless. She thought of her as boring, though, since Lina always turned down Quickstar's invitations to go on escapades.

### **Wolfmuzzle**

Quickstar's relationship with Wolfmuzzle was always a bit all over the place. They had never seemed like they were mates, even after they had kits. Quickstar realized that her feelings towards Wolfmuzzle were of friendship and not love, and they split up. Surprisingly, they were in better terms after that.

### **Houndspots**

From the moment she met him, Quickstar was inexplicably pulled towards Houndspots. She loved everything about him, from his smooth talk to the way he treated her. Her outings with him just made her love him even more, and eventually she realized that her feelings of love towards him were stronger than the ones she had towards Wolfmuzzle. Houndspots has been by her side ever since.

### **Cloudstorm**

Being her first children, Quickstar naturally loved Cloudstorm and Snowfrost very much. She was mildly afraid of how ambitious he was, though, and wished he would calm down once in a while. Because of that, she was closer to his sister than to him. She especially loved to tease him and bother him in a friendly way, and was incredibly saddened to see the path he went down. Even after he became evil, she still loved him.

### **Snowfrost**

Being her first children, Quickstar naturally loved Cloudstorm and Snowfrost very much. She had a special preference for Snowfrost, though, since she was so knowledgeable about herbs and had such skill in treating her. As Snowfrost inherited her snappishness, even if it rarely shows, they normally had their quips whenever Quickstar refused to be treated.

## **KILLED VICTIMS**

* Madclaw

## **TRIVIA**

### **Interesting Facts**

* Quickstar had the prefix "Mad" in one of the oldest versions of *Quickstar's Vow*.
* Quickstar didn't tell Wolfmuzzle that she had kits with Houndspots at first because she knew Wolfmuzzle despised him. She did eventually tell him a while after their birth, though.
* Quickstar gave Cloudkit and Snowkit to Tallfern not only because she didn't want Wolfmuzzle to get jealous and hate Houndspots more than he already did, but also because she and Swiftrain were very close and she knew everyone would assume that he was the kits' father (much like Bluefur and Thrushpelt in the original Warriors), and she was very afraid that it would make Iceshard doubt Swiftrain and ruin their relationship. So, since Slateheart was Swiftrain's brother and had a similar pelt color, she gave the kits to Tallfern.
* She has always regretted killing Wolfskin, because no matter how evil he was and how many cats he killed, she still loved him deeply.
* Quickstar's least favorite prey is squirrel.
* Quickstar was previously going to be mentored by Foxtail instead of Wolfmuzzle, and she was going to mentor Alderfall.
* Quickstar was already fully grown when she joined EarthClan, older than her mentor by about a moon.

## **QUOTES**

**Quickclaw:** "*But... How? I've never believed in an afterlife!*"
**Pinetail:** "*It's not that you didn't believe in the existence of an afterlife, it's that you didn't believe an afterlife could exist. But I have proved you wrong by visiting you in your dreams.*"
