Beetlestar

Beetlestar is a brown tabby tom with green eyes and a wound on his throat.

## History

### Kithood

Beetlestar was born into Forestclan to the son of Brokenheart and Morningclaw, along with a older brother, Branchsoar. His father had been very abusive to him and would let him starve whenever he did anything wrong. Branchkit would comfort Beetlekit whenever their father would hurt him. Just shortly after he turned four moons old, Sundrop was born (clan name was Mothkit) and started to grow a liking for her.

### Apprenticehood

As a apprentice, Fernstar apprenticed Beetlepaw to his father, Brokenheart. During his trainings, Brokenheart would force Beetlepaw nonstop to keep on practicing and wouldn't allow him to stop until he got it right. When he trained with other mentors and apprentices, Brokenheart would pretend that he'd be a nice mentor to Beetlepaw.

When Mothpaw was named an apprentice, Branchpaw and her thought they should celebrate the special occasion later that evening and Beetlepaw could provide the prey. Beetlepaw hesitantly agreed and waited till later that night. When the three awoke, they were caught by Sloedash and were lectured by Morningclaw. Beetlepaw lied that it was all his plan to keep his brother and Mothpaw out of trouble. He later was punished by Brokenheart.

When Fernstar announced that Beetlepaw and Branchpaw would be going to the gathering, they were excited, although Beetlepaw wished that Mothpaw was able to come as well. During the meeting, he got to meet some other apprentices; Northpaw, Moonpaw, and Pinepaw. Him and Pinepaw later became friends after the gathering.

Morningclaw had taken Brokenheart and Beetlepaw out on a training patrol to teach Beetlepaw how to hunt birds and get used to the territory. While his parents were arguing, he tried to hunt a bird, but it flew away to a loud sound. He decided to investigate and saw Rippleclan cats fighting two foxes, Pinepaw amongst them. Brokenheart stopped him from going any further. But Beetlepaw rushed to Pinepaw's aid when he was down. He fought the fox alongside Pinepaw and Morningclaw. The fox kicked Beetlepaw in his right eye, making him yelp in pain and back up. The eye looked blurry, but he could very clearly see his friend in the jaw of the vicious monster. The fox threw Pinepaw into a tree, where he laid limp, and Beetlepaw rushed to him. The rest of the Rippleclan cats chased the fox off. Beetlepaw cried as his friend didn't respond to him.

Jaystar allowed Beetlepaw to stay at Rippleclan to sit in vigil for Pinepaw with Sloedash watching over him. When they were leaving, Beetlepaw was complaining about his eye being blurry and couldn't see anything out of it. Sloedash made the decision to return to Rippleclan camp and ask for help, where they were greeted with a rude Ridgefur, who just wanted them to leave. Hesitantly, and with the orders or Jaystar, Ridgefur lead the Forestclan cats to the medicine den where Acorncedar treated Beetlepaw. His eyeball had been scratched during the fight and he would no longer be able to see out of it. Snailfur, father of Ridgefur and Acorncedar, escorted them out of Rippleclan territory when they were greeted with Tanglefish in distress, saying that Crestpelt, Tanglefish and Sloedash's mother, had died.

During the vigil of Crestpelt, Beetlepaw noticed Morningclaw take Brokenheart out of camp and decided to investigate. In the middle of the forest, Beetlepaw hid behind a bush and watched his parents. In horror, he watched his own father kill his mother. As Beetlepaw ran back to camp to tell Fernstar, Brokenheart chased after him. Thankfully, his training paid off and he was able to beat his father to camp and warned Fernstar. When Brokenheart arrived at camp, the whole Clan waited. Fernstar banished Brokenheart, but he resisted. He immediately leaped towards Beetlepaw and slashed his throat, leaving him with a wound. Fernstar pushed Brokenheart off of Beetlepaw and ordered him to be chased off of his territory. Meanwhile, Beetlepaw was immediately rushed to the medicine cat den and was treated by Feathercloud. He was able to stay alive, but he'd never be able to talk again.

He continued the rest of his training under Fernstar and was named Beetleclaw in honor of his bravery.

### Adulthood

Despite his injury, Beetleclaw focused on his duties. A couple of moons after Mothpaw was named Mothcloud, he fell in love with her. Although he couldn't talk to her, he made her feel special and loved. Not long after, Fernstar apprenticed Ratstorm to Beetleclaw. While he mentored Ratpaw, he had time to make his own language so his Clanmates could understand him. Thankfully, it turned out a success and he was able to communicate with everyone and make his mentoring easier.

Once he finished mentoring Ratpaw, he proudly sat at the Clan gathering and watched as Fernstar named Ratpaw to Ratstorm, along with Breezefeather and Morningstone. During that same meeting, Fernstar surprisingly named Beetleclaw the new deputy of Forestclan due to the fact that the previous deputy, Gorsefur, had died in battle. Branchsoar and his Clanmates congratulated Beetleclaw, including Mothcloud, who started to fancy him more.

When Graystorm was apprenticed to Beetleclaw, Mothcloud and him had been spending more time together; hunting together, sharing tongues, and sometimes sit together during meetings. Not long after, Mothcloud announced that she would be having kits, which made Beetleclaw excited yet worried. He didn't know how he would communicate with his kits. But the time came sooner than expected and Mothcloud gave birth to three kits, Dewstar, Marigoldpaw, and Pinepaw. Beetleclaw was awed by their cuteness and was proud for Mothcloud. Right then and there, they became mates.

As Beetleclaw watched his kits play in the nursery, he started to worry for Fernstar, who was getting sick. He worried because he was on his last life. Just as he suspected, Fernstar passed the next moon. Feathercloud accompanied Beetleclaw on his journey to the Moonpool. When Beetleclaw arrived in Starclan, he couldn't hold back his tears as a familiar she-cat with stars in her pelt walked up to him. It was his mother, and the previous deputy before Gorsefur, Morningclaw. She gave him his first life of justice. As he received his lives, he kept on looking at his mother. But when Fernstar arrived, he gave all his attention to him. Fernstar gave him his last life and that was determination. The Starclan cats chanted his new name, Beetlestar. He arrived back to camp and made a Clan meeting. He made Branchsoar his deputy. Since Clan meetings could take a long time and since his language would be harder to teach with the kits, Branchsoar would be talking for meetings and gatherings.

When his kits became old enough, he told Branchsoar who would be mentors for Pinekit and Dewkit, since Marigoldkit had decided to become a medicine cat. As Branchsoar made the announcement, Pinepaw was apprenticed to Branchsoar and Dewpaw was apprenticed to Beetlestar. Beetlestar did his best to train Dewhawk and even teached him his language. However, Pinepaw became sick not long after they became apprentices and Marigoldpaw worked all night and day to try and treat him. Beetlestar would often visit his son in the medicine den, but he'd often been asleep. Unfortunately, Pinepaw had died a few days later. As Branchsoar took Pinepaw's body to be buried, Beetlestar became upset and soon depressed once Marigoldpaw died. He barley showed his face over the next few days and Branchsoar took over. He finally showed his face and declared Dewpaw a warrior. He was renamed Dewhawk for his courage.

During the journey to their new homes, Beetlestar walked closely to the other leaders. The journey had weakened him and he was getting older by the day, the other leaders knew that. -Unfinished-
