Light gray tabby - Appearance
Silverstar was once very silvery in color(hence the name). But as he aged, the color faded, and is now a very light gray/almost white. Most of the tabby markings have faded over time, but is still very prominent in the face. His tail is longer than most, allowing him better balance. In recent years his eyesight has worsened, and it shows in his eyes. - Personality
Very regal and wise. A stern leader, Silverstar rules his clan with an iron claw. He never lets any cat get away with breaking the Warrior Code, unless there is a very good reason. Always the brave leader, he heads every attack and never backs down. He and his trusted medicine-cat are the only ones who know exactly how many lives he has left. - Family
No living cats in the clan are old enough to remember his parents, and he does not have any siblings or kits that anyone knows of. - History
During his birth, there was a complication which caused all of his litter-mates deaths, and it was believed at the time that he would not survive the night. However, when his mother checked on him the next morning, he had made an unexplainable recovery; as if StarClan needed him for some untold destiny.
As an apprentice, he was much like any other cat, but he seemed to have an uncanny ability to always know the answer to everything. This ability had saved the clan from destruction several times before he was even a Warrior.
When he was 15 moons, with an apprentice of his own, SkyClan's leader lost his last life in a battle with Twolegs and their dogs. The new leader gave no thought to who his deputy was going to be, Silverstar (then Silverheart) was the obvious choice.
About 10 moons later, however, the Twolegs returned and captured half of the clans members. Silverheart managed to lead the others to safety, but their leader stayed and fought. When Silverstar returned with the what remained of the clan, he was horrified that the Twolegs would do such a thing, what had the clan ever done to them?
A couple days later he began to notice some of his clan-mates wandering on the outskirts of the territory. When he approached them, they seemed different, and didn't seem to remember him or the clan. They kept talking about "house-folk", and smelled strange; almost like they weren't cats anymore. When he asked about his fearless leader, they said that he was still waiting for his house-folk to take him home.
Silverheart took it upon himself to save his leader from this strange fate, so he organized a search party to go save him. When they eventually found where he had been taken, they cautiously entered the unusual nest and were shocked by what they saw. Rows upon rows of nests made out of some kind of hard web, all filled with cats of all sizes and colors. Silverheart caught his leader's scent nearby and heard from the other cats that he had just been taken away by the Twolegs to be "put down". He didn't know what that meant, but it couldn't be good. He carefully followed the scent until he finally saw him, but relief was suddenly replaced by horror as he noticed a Twoleg approach with what appeared to be a bee stinger.
Just as the Twoleg poked SkyClan's leader with the stinger, he looked over at Silverheart, his eyes filled with sorrow, and he mouthed "run".
Seconds later he was convulsing wildly, and Silverheart knew that he was losing a life. Finally he was still, but as the Twoleg went to pick him up, he suddenly started convulsing again. The Twoleg ran past, it's fear-scent filling the room.
Silverheart was horrified by what he was witnessing. The Twoleg poison was robbing him all nine lives at once. Suddenly the Twoleg was back, and it brought back-up. Silverheart had to leave quickly, lest the same fate befall him.
Back at camp, there was much sadness at the news of their leader's horrible end. Silverheart vowed that he would never let such a thing happen again, and the next day he was off to receive his nine lives. - Other
He is a natural born leader. Unfortunately, twilight is upon him, and he will soon expire.
