Nightstar

Nightstar

## Looks

Nightstar was a mostly-black tom with some white vitiligo spots. He had one long scar running from just below his eye all the way up his face and down his back from a barbed-wire fence he crawled through. His eyes were leaf-green with golden-brown speckles, and he had medium-length fur.

## Personality

Nightstar was a very friendly cat, although he was very quiet. He had a very raspy voice and terrible hearing, making him seem a bit annoying or rude, as he'd often not hear cats when they'd talk to him. He was very kind to everyone, although he tended not to go anywhere near his kits, and was very neglectful of his mate and kits.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Nightstar was very good at swimming and catching fish, but he couldn't hear or talk very well, making hunting land prey very hard. He wasn't the best at fighting because of his hearing, but was good enough to live a long life.

## Trivia

- Nightstar had heterochromia, making his eyes leaf-green with golden-brown speckles.

- Nightstar damaged his vocal cords when he was young, making it hard to talk. He damaged his ears as well, although they didn't start off all that terrible.

- Nightstar didn't like feeling trapped, so he often didn't think about his mate or children, as he thought they trapped him in the Clan.

## Life

Night was born to Candy, a kittypet she-cat, and Lemon, a handsome, aggressive loner, along with his sister, Lily. Night and Lily were very close as kits, and wouldn't leave each other's side for anything. Having been born kittypets, Night and Lily were afraid by the outdoors. They were worried big dogs would eat them if they left their yard. Their dad left after a few moons, leaving Lily and Night both yellow feathers.

One day, when Night and Lily were much older, Night, Lily, and Candy met a tall, thin tom in their yard, who asked about kittypet life. Night had often heard cats call his family kittypets, but wasn't sure what it meant. Candy asked who the tom was, and he told them he was Quickstar of DriftClan. He asked the family to join his Clan, and they agreed. Night became Nightdream, and Lily became Lilypool. Candy kept her name, becoming a permanent queen for the last few moons she could nurse kits. Nightdream and Lilypool were very close still for a few moons. When Lilypool found a mate, Gorsetail, she began to spend less time with Nightdream, preferring to spend time with Gorsetail. Nightdream was hurt by this. When Lilypool became pregnant, Nightdream was horrified. He didn't want to be an uncle at such a young age, and didn't want Lilypool to be a mother when she was just as young. He panicked for a while, becoming quite anxious. During this time, he met Heathernose, a young cat about his age. The two became friends very quickly, as Heathernose was very confident and loud, and tried her best to help him be more confident and less anxious. After a few moons, Lilypool had her kits. Nightdream was still worried for her, but less so than he had been. This changed when he visited the kits. Lilypool had named them Yellowkit, Sweetkit, Fluffkit, and Dreamkit. Yellowkit looked a lot like Lemon, and Sweetkit resembled Candy the slightest bit, but Dreamkit and Fluffkit looked nothing like their mother or father, or really anyone in DriftClan. Nightdream mentioned this to Lilypool, and after a moment of pressuring her, she admitted she had them with a kittypet named Fluffy. Nightdream promised to help Lilypool keep her secret, not sure how else to comfort the now-crying queen. After he had visited his sister and her kits, he went on a walk with Heathernose. He told her he was frustrated, but couldn't tell her why, to which she said he should quit keeping secrets after this one. He agreed, and the two stopped near a bog, where Heathernose confessed to him that she loved him. Nightdream didn't quite feel the same way, but agreed to be her mate anyways so she'd be happy. Heathernose was overjoyed, and the two snuggled for a while before heading back to camp. After a few moons, Lilypool was out walking with Gorsetail, when a large fox attacked, crippling Lilypool's front right leg. The two came back, being patched up by Rosespark, the medicine cat. Nightdream, upon hearing this, freaked out. How was Lilypool going to be a warrior again someday if she couldn't walk? Nightdream spent every day after that with Lilypool while she healed, helping handle the kits. He was especially fond of Sweetkit and Dreamkit, both of whom were very calm and quiet, a lot like their mother. After a few moons, when Lilypool was able to walk, her kits became apprentices. Nightdream was surprised to hear that he was going to both be mentoring Sweetkit and become deputy, especially since Coniferleaf was supposed to be deputy. When he asked Quickstar why he was chosen, Quickstar told the Clan that Coniferleaf was going to instead become an elder. Coniferleaf seemed fine with this, and gave Nightdream a polite smile, dipping his head. Nightdream agreed to be deputy, becoming quite happy. A few weeks later, Nightdream went to his first gathering, learning that his mate was pregnant. He was excited about the gathering, and less so about the kits. He hadn't really wanted to have them with Heathernose, but figured he didn't have to actually see them after they were born, so it'd be fine. Nightdream met Bumblestar, Oakstar, and Hazestar, along with the LeafClan deputy, Whitenose. He didn't really talk that much to most of the cats, but became good friends with Oakstar. After the gathering, Nightdream went back to camp, and Heathernose began giving birth. Nightdream was a bit confused, realizing she must have been pregnant for a while. Heathernose successfully gave birth to three kits, Finchkit, Ravenkit, and Crowkit. Nightdream named Crowkit, a bit unnerved by how similar he and Crowkit looked. After a few moons, he went on a walk with Quickstar. Quickstar then told him that he was on his last life, and would soon die. Nightdream asked what they should do, and Quickstar said to just let it happen. Nightdream was upset, but didn't want to disagree with one of his closest friends, so he hid it. When he got back to camp, Quickstar had Nightdream promise he wouldn't tell anyone. Nightdream agreed, although he didn't like lying to Heathernose. He then went to talk to Coniferleaf, hoping he'd know what to do. He didn't tell Conferleeaf about the leader almost being dead, but talked to him about how he felt bad about keeping secrets even after his promise to Heathernose. The elder told him that it wasn't technically a secret if she just never asked so he never told her. He didn't feel much better after his talk. When he exited the den, Crowkit was waiting outside. The kit yelled at him for never being around and for keeping secrets from Heathernose. Crowkit then stormed off to ruin Nightdream's relationship, being stopped by Quickstar. Quickstar had a very menacing look on his face, and in a very disturbingly aggressive voice told Crowkit not to say a word to Heathernose. Crowkit, being scared out of his tiny mind, agreed not to tell his mom anything. Nightdream thanked Quickstar, but Quickstar was just as aggressive towards him, and told him he needed to be careful. Nightdream agreed, watching the leader quickly make his way to the Medicine Cats' Den. He felt fear wash over him like an icy wave, so he tracked down his son, asking him to listen in and tell Nightdream what was happening. Crowkit agreed, but only if Nightdream would take him out of camp to find an apology gift for Heathernose. Crowkit made sure Nightdream knew he'd have to tell Heathernose what was happening, and Nightdream reluctantly agreed. Nightdream then watched his son listen in for a moment before sitting down with a thrush he didn't really want. After a few moments, Crowkit came scurrying back over to Nightdream, where he told him Quickstar was coughing up a lot of blood. Not long after Crowkit told Nightdream, Rosespark came out of her den alone, hurrying over to Nightdream and Crowkit. She then told them that Quickstar had died
