Flintstar (SC)

## Flintstar

Flintstar is a tall blue-eyed cat with smooth gray fur and many battle scars.

Flintstar is Shellclan's current commander. She was born to Swampleg and Minnowfire alongside his brothers, Icekit and Mossykit. He was initially trained as a keeper under Lilacsight, but switched to train as a hunter under Shiveringstar. Flintpaw became a full hunter with her name being Flintscratch. After a while, Flintscratch left her rank as hunter and became both a mediator and a minor herbalist. This level of experience and dedication caused Flintscratch to be made the main-branch after the death of the previous one, Lightningroar. Flintscratch then became commander once Shiveringstar died in an accident. Flintscratch, now Flintstar, chose her father, Swampleg, as the main-branch. He also declared to be mates with Spidershade once she announced she was carrying kits. They had three kits, Gravelkit, Marshkit and Ripplekit. Tension with the rival clan, Tangleclan, was getting each time higher. Until they attacked one of Shellclan's patrols, killing Flintstar's daughter, Marshpaw, during the fight. This enraged Flintstar terribly, he furiously ordered attacks against Tangleclan, they thought they had won the battle, until Tangleclan unexpectedly made a huge attack on their rival's camp, leading to the death lf a big amount of Shellclan cats. Flintstar was devastated, and blamed himself for it, falling into a depression.

## Relationships

### Swampleg

Swampleg has always been a respected, popular, powerful cat, with astounding leadership qualities, everyone has agreed he could one day be the commander ever since he was a young keeper. Flintkit was extremely proud of having such a strong cat as father, blinded to the fact that Swampleg was quite a distant, uncaring father to her and her siblings. As a trainee, Flintpaw rapidly chose to be a keeper, like her father, but was terrible at it and genuinely didn't enjoy the training, and decided to switch to a hunter trainee, his father wasn't very accepting of such decision, and made it clear that he wished Mossypaw and Flintpaw coukd be more like their brother Icepaw, which broke Flintpaw's heart. After earning her full name, Flintscratch became just as popular as his father, though not for his power and strenght, but for her social and speech skills, which eventually made Flintscratch a cherished mediator, Swampleg was disappointed in his kit, and even his clan, how could such a weak cat be so loved by others? Flintscratch was aware of this, and did everything she could to please her dad. Once Lightningroar passed away, Flintscratch was named the new main-branch, much to his father's dismay. After Flintscratch was Flintstar, she made his father his main-branch as a final attempt to reconnect with him, and he has been a popular choice since forever anyways. Swampleg was very demanding and critical, and constantly wanted to take over his child's duties as commander. Then suddenly, he broke up with his mate, when their relationship had been going on for many moons and showed no sign of decline, and Flailwing announced she was expecting Swampleg's kits less than a moon later. Flintstar was enraged by his father's attitude, seeing this cat who she had admired as a kit betraying his family like that just to stay with a another, younger she-cat. Unfortunately, Flintstar believes her personal issues with Swampleg was no ground to demote him from his position, letting her stuck with a cat she absolutely hates as his main-branch.
