(The one with eyes half shut is Star that Guides, while the one with her eyes open is River of Stars.)
Name: Star that Guides (Nicknamed Star)
Gender: Male
Age: 125 moons
Sexuality: Bi
Tribe of Ancient Roots
Rank: Elder
Appearance: Star has a very light orange pelt of short but thick fur. He is large compared to his tribemates. He has an oriental build like most of tribemates, with long legs, a thin and angular head, large ears, and eyes that take up much of his face; his eyes are a deep forest green, and they hold moons of memories in their depths. His body is covered with scars, ranging from mostly faded and tiny to scars of large injuries that had required multiple days under Firstspeaker’s watchful eye to heal.
Personality: Star is a very mellow cat; he doesn’t mind when cats insult him and he gets along with all but the roughest and meanest cats. He can easily take abuse from his grumpy denmates with no problem; he’s dealt with his sister, River of Stars, for all this time, so he’s had a lot of experience with grumpy in his time. Most things slide off him like water slides off a duck’s feathers, and he has always been an encouraging factor in his sister’s life, constantly pulling her away from whatever has earned her ire and trying to make her smile again. He is good at thinking quickly, able to just keep up with his sister’s intelligence. As for fighting, any creature looking to harm his beloved sister or tribemates would have to go through him first. When his tribemates (particularly his sis or her kits) were threatened, the mellow demeanor faded away leaving a fierce and fearless creature in its place. When his sister did have kits, he doted on them (still does) and he loves them as if they were his own. He still isn’t afraid to growl or hiss at said threats (he’s still as fearless as he used to be), though his fighting days are over. Star and his sister are still as close as ever, and he loves her to the moon and back. They can rarely be found apart for long.
Strengths
He is rather intelligent.
Back in his day, he had been an excellent fighter, capable of chasing off dogs and foxes (not killing them or anything, but at the very least he was good at making them reconsider their choice of cat for their meal). This is no longer the case, but he is still good at quickly thinking of battle tactics for one on one fights. A cat could learn from him.
Weaknesses
While he had once been big and strong, his strength has faded away over time. Because of the many wounds he had suffered in battle, his body protests with every motion. He doesn’t like to move around much, and often ends up leaning on River of Stars for support whenever he does decide to get up.
History: Star has lead a long life of loss and battles. He was born to a Tribe couple along with 5 other kittens. Two of his siblings died before they became to-bes, one died in training, another died in their prime. His parents died long ago as well, leaving him and his sister River of Stars alone in the world. Each loss had stung the pair of siblings, but they had gotten over it together while never faltering in their duties. As Star was a guard, he often accompanied his sister on her hunts, and his fighting prowess saved her once from a dog, another time from a young fox. Many times has he chased away loners from her. As River was worthless as a fighter, she was always forced to sit back and watch in horror until the fighting was over; Star always came out on top, but she occasionally had to help him home afterwards. Now the tables have turned and River is the one watching out for Star. He doesn’t like the situation, but he accepts it, content to live out the rest of his days with his sister by his side.
As for their names, they came from the night sky. Their mother looked up at it after giving birth. Star and River were huddled up together, already close as can be, but River had displayed fierceness earlier. Their mother hoped that her brother would be able to lead the fierceness in the right direction; she noticed a star in the sky and recalled that it had been in the same place for as long as she could remember. Thinking that the star could potentially act as a guide, as it doesn’t move, she named the brother after it so he may act as a guide for his sister.
