Scorchstar

## Description

Scorchstar is a ThunderClan calico she-cat with white, orange, and black fur. She has sharp blue and green eyes and black tipped ears. Keen to defend her Clan, she will do anything to keep her fellow Clanmates safe from harm. Determined and ambitious, she will stop at almost nothing to achieve her desires.

## Kit Life

She was born as Scorchkit to Shrikestar and Cindersky, having two older siblings, Boulderstar and Fidgetslip. She was the only one in her litter so she spent a lot of her kit time playing with Timberfall who was also a kit at the time. She was a tiny apprentice, and an even smaller kit.

## Apprentice Life

Shinyspark took over as her mentor when Snowfluff retired to the elder's den. Determined to outdo her fellow apprentices, her ambition drove her to complete her training in as little time as possible. Although her apprentice days were difficult because of the forest fire, she managed to become a warrior, receiving the name Scorchwind. Shrikestar, or at the time Shrikethroat, did her ceremony as deputy under Rosestar's leadership.

## Warrior Life

Scorchstar had an eventful life as a warrior, she participated in countless raids, mainly against ShadowClan, and trained several apprentices. She became deputy of ThunderClan under Boulderstar's leadership. She remained deputy until Boulderstar passed away, and then received her 9 lives and became leader, making Oatmeal her deputy.

## Leadership

Scorchstar was leader for countless moons, until her last life was taken. During her leadership she continued to repair the damaged relationship between ThunderClan and ShadowClan. Her ultimate goal was peace among the Clans, and by the end of her reign she felt she had achieved that. Whilst the beginning of her leadership comprised of several battles, she was ultimately satisfied with the peaceful outcome that had erupted.

## Death

Scorchstar lost her ninth life when she was with her nephew, Shriketalon. She and Shriketalon were wandering the two-leg barn in search of an herb that was rumored to cure a mysterious illness that had swept over the Clans. That's when they heard a noise and realized a two-leg farmer had entered, and did not appreciate cats around his chickens. They tried to make a break for it but Shriketalon was sadly shot by the two-leg, and when Scorchstar went back to go help him she was shot as well. Whilst her death was unprecedented, she accepted it nonetheless. She had lived a long, full life, and the end to her reign was overdue. She and Shriketalon joined StarClan together, reunited with their family.

## Relationships

### Boulderstar

Boulderstar was Scorchstar's sister, and her closest friend. Whilst they grew up very separate because of their age difference, when they became warriors they grew very close. When Finchstar made Boulderstar deputy after having only been a warrior for a short period of time following Shrikestar's passing, Scorchstar was jealous at first but soon came to realize that Boulderstar was the best fit for ThunderClan's deputy. After Finchstar's untimely death, Boulderstar made her the new deputy and they grew even closer until Boulderstar's death. After Boulderstar died, Scorchstar was never really the same again.

### Shriketalon

Shriketalon was Scorchstar's nephew, son to Boulderstar, and one of her closest friends. She mentored him until he was chosen as Bounceleap's medicine apprentice. Being both high ranks of ThunderClan together helped them grow very close and she often looked to Shriketalon for his input on things.

### Oatmeal

Oatmeal, another one of Boulderstar's sons, was also one of her closest friends. She chose Oatmeal to be her deputy after Boulderstar died because of his maturity for his young age. She trusted him with her life as he protected her during a raid from ShadowClan. She was happily able to give him the life of love during his leader ceremony, and hoped that he would someday he would find a mate and start a family of his own.

### Bounceleap

Bounceleap was the medicine cat since before Scorchstar was even deputy. Bounceleap was the only thing holding the Clan together when things got really messy with ShadowClan and RiverClan, or also known as ShiverClan. He was the only thing keeping Boulderstar and Scorchstar sane at times. Scorchstar often looked to Bounceleap for guidance when she became leader. She would consider him one of her closest friends. She remembers seeing Bounceleap's starry figure right before she lost her last life.

### Shrikestar

Shrikestar was her mother, but Scorchstar didn't know her that long nor was very close to her. She looked up to her and held a lot of respect for Shrikestar, but never received love or attention back. Shrikestar passed away while Scorchstar was still an apprentice, so she never received the opportunity to become very close to her.

### Cindersky

Cindersky was Scorchstar's other mother, and unlike with Shrikestar, she was very close to her. They shared a very close bond and Scorchstar was torn apart when her mother passed away, but she was able to see her in dreams sometimes and receive advice from her when she needed it most.

### Fidgetslip

Fidgetslip was her older brother, but she never had the opportunity to become close to him. He passed away very soon after she got her warrior name.

### Pebblewish

Pebblewish was Scorchstar's first kit, and she is probably closest to her than any of her other kits. She was Pebblewish's mentor and adopted her shortly after becoming her mentor after falling in love with her playful personality. Pebblewish's biological parents are unknown as she was found wandering the forest when she was only a couple weeks old.

### Eagleflight

Eagleflight was her second kit, he was born as part of a litter of 5 but was the only survivor. His four other siblings, Otterkit, Whirlkit, Shinekit, and Puffykit passed away shortly after being born. Scorchstar was torn up over their deaths and put all of her love and attention towards caring for Eagleflight.

### Pyrospark

Pyrospark was born into a litter with Shatterstorm. Scorchstar was very nervous about this litter after the tragedy that came with her previous litter. However, Pyrospark came out very healthy and helped defend his Clan against a raid from RiverClan when he was only 5 moons old.

### Shatterstorm

Shatterstorm was born into a litter with Pyrospark. It was rumored that Hiddensun was the father of her and Pyrospark, but that was never confirmed nor denied by either Hiddensun nor Scorchstar. Shatterstorm grew up close to Hiddensun however, as he was her mentor.

### Clearmoon

Clearmoon was the only in her litter, with an unknown WindClan tom as her father. She was born into ThunderClan, but when Scorchstar became deputy she was so overwhelmed that she didn't feel as if she was giving Clearmoon enough attention. After speaking with Clearmoon's father, she decided with a heavy heart it would be best for her to go to WindClan and be raised there. Then Clearmoon was adopted by a couple of WindClan she-cats.

### Twistedhemlock

Twistedhemlock was Scorchstar's last kit. Born to the same father as Eagleflight, Twistedhemlock was born shortly after Scorchstar became leader. Her Clan questioned her capability of being able to lead whilst having a newborn kit, but she showed that she could still be leader and tend to a kit.

### Blazenkit

Blazenkit was born to Pyrospark, but sadly passed away to StarClan as a young kit. In the time that she knew him, Blazenkit was very mischievous, and one time made his way over to ShadowClan camp without being caught.
