personality
Oakstar is a reserved and observant leader, who often leaves those he’s interacted with confused, or enlightened. While on the outside he seems very stoic and cold, he is exceptionally warm and fun to his family, especially his love, Cloverstep. He only shows this warmth to his family though, which can lead some to believe he favors his children more than other members of the clan, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Leafclan means everything to Oakstar, and he will stop at nothing to protect his home, family, and clanmates. When he was younger, he wasn’t as reserved or quiet, in fact, he was quite bubbly and outgoing (much like his daughter Huckleberrypaw). He was known around the clan for being a flirt, and too reckless, which is possibly why he calmed down once he was made deputy at such young age.
relationships
Cloverstep - Oakstar’s mate, and the love of his life. They were the rowdiest of apprentices, which often led them into trouble with their mentors. Even from a young age it seemed like these two were destined in the stars.
Thymestar - Oakstar’s former leader and predecessor. Thymestar saw potential in Oakthicket as her deputy, which deeply humbled Oakthicket. When becoming Oakstar, Thymestar gifted him his 8th final life, and blessed him with humbleness, and told him that Leaflclan will win and lose many battles, but to remain humble through the triumphs.
Aspenwing - Oakstar’s current deputy and most trusted confidant. Aspenwing is actually quite older than Oakstar, and once feuded over who deserved the deputy position. But during a grave battle, Aspenwing was on the brink of death, and was carried back to camp by Oakthicket, even with wounds of his own. This exchange deeply resonated with the two, and when Oakthicket was named deputy that night, Aspenwing was the first to congratulate him.
Wolfstep - Oakstar's only son. Wolfstep was the sole survivor of Cloverstep and Oakthicket's first litter. While Cloverstep fretted over him like he was still a meek kitten, Oakthicket was almost distant, afraid that he would lose Wolfkit as well. This eventually changed when Thymestar gave Wolfpaw to Oakthicket as an apprentice. Throughout Wolfpaw's mentorship, the two grew closer and closer, forgetting the rough past and building a father and son bond. Even as a busy leader, Oakstar still makes time for his son, and the two are often seen hunting together in their free time.
Juniperpaw - One of Oakstar's daughters. Juniperpaw is the oldest of their most recent litter. He did not wish to make the same mistakes he made with Wolfkit with his new kits. He is extremely protective over his daughters, and feels immense pride seeing them thrive. He feels an extra kinship to Juniperpaw due to her resemblance to him, and cannot wait to watch her turn into a fine warrior
Huckleberrypaw - One of Oakstar's daughters. Huckleberrypaw is the youngest of their most recent litter. Oakstar was extremely worried that Huckleberrykit wouldn't survive due to the fact she was much smaller than her older sister, Juniperkit. But when she first opened her piercing green eyes, he knew that she would be a fighter. Oakstar was surprised when he learned that Huckleberrykit wished to become a medicine cat apprentice, for she was just like him when he was young. Her fiery, playful attitude was a stark contrast to her sister, and to a medicine cat's usual demeanor. He couldn't be any prouder of Huckleberrypaw's decision to become a medicine cat.
Tigerpaw - Oakstar's latest (and likely last) apprentice. Many were shocked when Oakstar apprenticed Tigerpaw to be mentored by himself, but the reason he did so was because he was quite fond of the apprentice. Tigerpaw was similar to his young self as well, which is probably why his apprentice seems to get along so well with his daughter Huckleberrypaw. Oakstar would be lying if he said he didn't want to mentor Tigerpaw himself because he wanted to keep an eye on the little rascal.
