Gender: She-cat
⤷ She/Her 🏳️⚧️
Wolfstar is first and foremost intelligent. She's a quick learner and uses what she learns to her advantage. She loves to analyze and nitpick, and is incredibly meticulous in her ways. In her youth, she asked plenty of questions, always wanting to learn how the world worked, and what made other cats tick. Often lost in thought- brooding- and rambling her thoughts. She's very patient, willing to play the long con in order to get what she wants. She's unrelenting in her ways. In the end, she knows what she wants and she will do everything in her power in order to get it. Wolfstar is incredibly observant, able to pick up on the slightest tells and behaviors. A nervous twitch of whiskers, the scent of fear hidden beneath a mask of anger, shifty eyes and the slightest of smiles. She's got eyes as sharp as her wit, and she is determined to use them to her advantage. When something goes wrong, Wolfstar is quick to adapt, and always tries to work around roadblocks or unexpected disadvantages. Her mind is always working, trying to decipher what to do next. She is optimistic, seeing the best for herself and her clan. She wants to forge a better path for her clan, one that will lead them to success and is ardently passionate about that. Anyone who gets in the way of her clan's success and freedom must be eliminated.
Alongside her intelligence, Wolfstar is more importantly described as cunning. She has no qualms against lying or deceit in order to achieve her goal, and puts up a front in order to gain the trust of others. She builds a complicatedly constructed mask, one where she spins a careful web of lies in order to maintain her character. Due in part to her intricate lies, Wolfstar is definitely manipulative. She likes to play with others, their feelings and emotions- what makes them tick. She likes to stretch them as far as they can go and beats them down when things get rough.
Wolfstar is stubborn beyond belief. Once her mind is set on something, she won't change. Getting her to change her ways is a nigh impossible feat- especially if she is angered. She can be ambitious to a fault and tends to dream too big and bites off more than she can chew, much to her detriment. Wolfstar is meticulous in her ways. She's practically a perfectionist, wanting everything to be right, and trying to plan for every possible outcome that she can think of. She often spends most of her downtime planning what to do next, sometimes seeking advice from those she places her utmost trust in.
Wolfstar is definitely one to hold secrets, and hardly trusts anyone. She won't readily tell others of what she is planning unless she trusts them implicitly- which is rare and hard to come by, especially with her, who holds others at arm's length. When Wolfstar is wronged, she's known to hold a grudge for life. Revenge is a strong motivating factor, and if you hurt her, she'll hurt you worse. Her vindictive nature stems from her youth, a trait passed from bitter parents unto bitter kit. Anger is familiar, and is perhaps the only emotion she allows to really sink its claws into her heart- violence is inherent, and who is she to deny herself a reward for all her patience and planning, if not to tear her enemies apart?

Taller than the average cat, with lanky limbs that expose the rippling muscles beneath. Her fur is deep blue with darker tabby stripes running along her back. White patches decorate her paws, chest, tail tip, ears, and the bridge of her nose. Scars both deep and shallow buffet her fur. Wolfstar possesses an oil-slick grin and icy pale blue eyes that seem to reflect the salty spray of ocean water and seafoam. She has a hulking figure, with a deliberate stance to resemble that of a wolf, with her head often kept low, much like she's stalking prey. She has an excellent nose and eyes made for tracking prey. Her claws are kept long and sharp. Due to her long legs, she has a quick-footed, confident gait that has others struggling to keep up. Her scent is purely salty, as though she just stepped out of the ocean and the salt clung to her pelt. There’s a hint of woodsmoke lying underneath.
Born into a band of loners, Wolfstar originally hailed from a land far away. She grew to resent her wandering life– her parents were callous and her life unstructured, without meaning. She left the group at seven moons old, setting off on her own despite the dangers. She soon found herself in TidalClan territory, proving herself to the Clan as an excellent hunter even without traditional training. At 9 moons old, She was given the name Wolfpaw for her dark pelt and looming stature. She flourished under the mentorship of Saltfang, a strict tom that gave her the structure and purpose she needed.
As she watched the other apprentices train, she knew what she wanted: To be the best. A common apprentice dream, but she was going to take it into her own paws– she always got what she wanted in the end. She trained day and night, muscles building and refining. She honed her fighting and hunting skills and found delight in sparring and border skirmishes. She enjoyed the rush of adrenaline, the feel of a beating heart under her paws. Though she wasn’t the best swimmer by any means, she was the best land hunter among the batch of apprentices and was eventually given the name Wolfspider for her unique style of hunting and fighting: luring her target then trapping them.
The next natural step of progression for her was deputy. She volunteered to lead patrols when she could and proved herself to be a capable leader. Her lone-wolf, eerie attitude put some cats off but her adaptability and cunning put her in other cats’ favor. It wasn’t long before she was given an apprentice: Emberpaw. At 40 moons old, she was named deputy after the previous one fell ill; their healer announced her with a tremble in their voice so slight, Wolfspider could have sworn she imagined it.
She ascended to leadership at 54 moons, relishing in her new name: Wolfstar. Her leader was on his last legs; the same bought of greencough that felled their deputy felled him, too, and she gladly rose to his place.
