Name: Ivystar

Age: 33 moons

Gender: She-cat

Clan: ShadeClan

Rank: Leader

Description: Ivystar is a large, muscular she-cat. At Gatherings, she sometimes scares young apprentices due to her size. She is a large cat, but not abnormally large, so she assumes this is because she appears strong. She has mostly a dirty shade of white on her long-furred pelt, but she has other markings aswell. Most of her back is like that of a brown tabby cat, light brown with darker stripes. It stretches from her lower back to her forehead, where it fades back into the white in an arrow-like shape. The tip of her tail and her paws are also kind of like this; her paws are light brown with a few black toes, and her tail tip is just a light brown color, making her body coloring all wind up to make a decently pretty cat.
Her face is warm and comforting, though some of the rest of her isn't. Soft features were chiseled onto her face, making it a nice thing to look at. Her small, pink nose makes way for deep, beautiful eyes. A light shade of blue that get a bit darker the closer they got to the pupil. These eyes are soft, but they are far from it. They look around, trying to see the weaknesses and strengths, helping Ivystar to come up with horrible schemes.

Personality: Ivystar could often be described as a confusing cat. On the outside, to cats that she has not yet met, she is a sweet, kind she-cat who you would want to be your friend. And that's exactly what she wants- your alliance. After she believes she has won over the cat that she wants on her side, she will tell the cat of her evil plans and schemes, quickly turning from friend to foe. She was one of the first cats to start ShadeClan on their quest for Clan domination, and she has carried them through it with an iron paw. She is the kind of cat who will see something she wants, and then do anything she has to to get it, even if that means hurting a best friend or betraying the warrior code. This made becoming leader much easier for her, and now she is a bittersweet warrior.

History: As a kit, Ivystar seemed to be a promising young she-cat. She was kind, polite, and was the largest and strongest of her litter. She was sure to be a great warrior for the Clan, and they took notice. At the young age of four moons, Ivystar was apprenticed and was trained by the leader of the Clan himself, Darkstar. She was a great apprentice, to say the least. She mastered the training moves as quickly as she possibly could, and she grew apart from her mother and family. She became must more heartless, showing less emotions to those she cared about, and shunning most cats out. Her mother was heartbroken; one of her kits had left the nest early and now would not visit her. It was great to have one of her five troublemaking kits out of her hair, but she still would've liked to have her firstborn kit love her. Her brothers and sisters, of course, were angry. They were just as able to be apprentices as Ivykit was, and they thought they should be, too! But, two moons after her apprenticeship, her two brothers and two sisters were apprenticed, training as best they could, trying to keep up with Ivypaw. Despite this, two moons a difference of traning was too much, and they always stayed behind on training. After six moons of intense training, four moons after she should have been apprenticed, she became a warrior, much to the pride of the Clan. After the death of one of the warriors, she served as mentor for her sister. She was the smallest and most fragile of the litter, and could not handle Ivystar's brutal training. Because of this, she was killed at the paws of her own sister, Ivyheart, during training when she was trying to practice defensive fighting moves.
After this, she went on to mentor only the strongest of kits, for the benefit of themselves and the Clan. She was the best, though the harshest, of the mentors in the Clan, so her apprentices turned out as great warriors. She realized the strength her Clan had, and pushed for trying to overpower the other Clans. Undoubtedly, the Clan supported her. When the deputy's dead body was found on the Thunderpath between LeafClan and ShadeClan territory, she was immediately named replacement, to no surprise for the rest of the Clan. In a battle against BreezeClan, Darkstar died, making Ivystar leader. At the end of the battle, a cry was heard from Ivystar. "I will avenge the death of Darkstar!"
And that she did. She later killed BreezeClan's leader, and conviced them that the bloodshed would end if they joined ShadeClan. They had to choice but to accept. Thus BreezeClan became part of ShadeClan, and their territory was extended into ShadeClan's.
Similar battles took place against RainClan and LeafClan, leading to terror and bloodshed, ending in alliance. Now the Clans lived on their territory, ShadeClan claiming to have free will to walk the whole forest should they so desire. The other Clans try to fight back, but under the rule of Ivystar and her warriors, the attempts seem hopeless..

Roleplay Sample: Ivystar stood and stretched in her nest are her short nap. She licked the moss from her pelt briskly and stepped out into camp. She licked a brown paw as she watched the camp. All was going well. The camp was bustling as usual, mentors getting their apprentices, queens watching their kits, and the hunting party coming back and putting their prey onto the fresh-kill pile, which was large even for such a warm, wonderful greenleaf day like this. ShadeClan was doing remarkably well after they had won BreezeClan over to their side. Now they just needed to convince LeafClan, and they coud easily overpower those mousebrained RainClan cats!
"Ivystar!" A tawny tom burst into the camp, running right for her. BreezeClan cats are such mousebrains! she thought before answering to the tom.
"Yes, Tallpaw? What is it?" she said irritably, and she saw the BreezeClan tom shrink back in fear slightly.
"A RainClan patrol was spotted by the BreezeClan's end of the territory. They're saying that ShadeClan are weak, and need to back off! Can you believe it, Ivystar? They're threatening us!" he said, seeming to regain his courage. "They want a battle!"
"A battle that they will surely lose," Ivystar said with a cruel mrrow of laughter. "Thank you for reporting this to me. Now, go hunt! ShadeClan needs more prey, especially if we are going to have to support you mousebrains!"
"Of course, Ivystar," Tallpaw said before turning tail and running off to the territory. He was scared. And right he should be, in the prescence of a true warrior, a ShadeClan cat.
