[.This.Is.Me[/b].]

Stormstar has a dark, stormy gray pelt, hence his name. The fur on it is thin, long, and wispy, especially on his tail. When he gets mad, his tail fluffs out larger than it seems it possibly can. His tail is very thick and long, on the topic of it. Some say that during a storm, this Leader looks most intimidating, his lightning yellow eyes aglow in the darkness.

[.If.You.Don't.Like.My.Attitude,[/b].So.Be.It.]

Stormstar is very loving and gentle around friends, but getting on his bad side would not be very wise at all. He was chosen to be Deputy then Leader for a reason. He has amazing leadership skills; he doesn't hold any grudges against a single Clanmate, no matter his personal thoughts. Everyone is to be treated equally by one another. But sweet as he is, he will not let that, slacking, or anything else deserving discipline go unpunished at least in the slightest. He doesn't have a mate yet, but his expectations for one are only that they are loyal to the Clan, as no one could ever possibly doubt him to be.

[.This.Is.The.Story.Of.My.Life[/b].]

[.as.a.kit.]

Stormstar was long ago born to a CloudClan queen named Lightningfeather, who lost her life as she gave birth. Stormkit was the only of his litter that managed to survive. He suckled from another queen until his apprenticeship, which was when things stopped running as smoothly....

[.as.an.apprentice.]

Obviously, Stormkit was known as Stormpaw during apprenticeship. His foster brother, Rabbitpaw, from his suckling mother was apprenticed around the same time, but they were horrible enemies. The day of his apprenticeship, Rabbitpaw's mother was killed by a fox during a lesson, as she was Stormpaw's mentor. Rabbitpaw blamed Stormpaw for not defending his mother enough, and plotted revenge.

Stormpaw's new mentor was his real father, whom was extremely depressed since his mother's death. One day during their training session, his father suicided himself by eating many deathberries. Stormpaw was terrified, but he wasn't the only one the witness it. As the young apprentice watched, petrified in horror, his foster brother, Rabbitpaw, peeked out from the bushes and thought up a horrible plan.

When Stormpaw returned home to the camp, he couldn't believe his ears or eyes. All of the Clan was gathered around Rabbitpaw, whom was explaining the horrifying event in excruciating detail, trying to convince the Clan of his lies.

"...There I was," he mewed, "just walking through the woods on a little hunting trip. I could hear some scared yelling, and then some stern, high-pitched shushing. When I looked to see what it was, the result was terrible.

"There in a small clearing, I saw Stormpaw. He was force-feeding his poor old father an uncountable amount of deathberries! To think he would do something like that to his father!

"You know what I think? I bet he was lying when he said that a fox killed her. I bet that he killed her. He's probably got some plan and he's killing all who know about it! Hey! There's that horrible traitor!"

The Clan all turned around and glared and hissed at Stormpaw.

"Well? the Leader growled. "Is this true?"

Stormpaw couldn't speak. He could only stare and blink, like a kit that was suddenly asked to be the Leader.

"Nothing to say, Stormpaw?" his Leader snarled, squinting. "Then you are no longer a member of CloudClan. You are hereby exiled, and as well as that, you shall from now on be known as Deathglare."

With a broken heart, and a horrible name, Deathglare moped out of the camp, feeling every dejecting cat's gaze burn into him, and one not feel as unsatisfied.

[.as.a.rogue.]

Deathglare was left a rogue for many a moon. He lived with rejection weighing him down more and more with every pawstep. He scarcely managed to get food, and his ribs made it seem as if he was a skeleton.

This remained until one day, when he was 28 moons old.

Deathglare was in an old, abandoned fox burrow, seeking shelter from the rain, when suddenly he heard a badger snarling, and constant pleas for help.

He clawed his way out of the burrow to witness his foster brother pleading for mercy from StarClan in a hollow log as a badger tried clawing for his face in constant failure. Part of Deathglare's mind said, "Why help him? It's his fault you're stuck out here as a rogue!" But another part said, "No, he's your brother. Foster or not, even if he did or did not lie and make you become a rogue for false testification. You have to save him." As much as he didn't want to, Deathglare knew what to do.

His skinny frame to his advantage, Deathglare snarled a battle cry and clawed the badger across it's eyes. Screeching in agony, the badger blindly scored a gash down his flank. He yowled in pain, but he couldn't stop fighting. He raked his claws down the badgers throat, causing it to let out another unbelievably loud roar, then it fled out of the area.

Deathglare turned to watch as his brother came out from hiding and noticed a search party headed their way. One cat let out a hiss at sight of the rogue, but his foster sibling silenced him and explained how the former Clanmate saved him. He told the other that they had to take Deathglare back to camp, and he had something to tell the Leader.

At the CloudClan camp, Deathglare waited outside the Leader's den while inside his foster brother and the Leader discussed something. During that time, he managed to catch his sibling's new name-Rabbitleap.

After Rabbitleap and the Leader emerged from the den, the Leader called a Clan meeting. Deathglare wasn't sure whether he should listen to it, but then their Leader flicked his tail, motioning for him to come forward.

"Do not hiss at Deathglare's return," he yowled over the spatting cats, and they all became silent. "Deathglare has been held a rogue for many moons. That shall remain no longer.

"I have found out the sad truth behind this all. It was not Deathglare who lied, but our own Deputy, Rabbitleap, long ago."

That made Deathglare silently gasp. His foster brother not only told the truth about the past, but he was made Deputy!

"This is what happened, as Rabbitleap said: Rabbitleap had blamed Deathglare for not defending their mother enough when she was killed by a fox, so he lied to us later when Deathglare's father died. Deathglare's father actually killed himself, and Deathglare could only stare, petrified.

"So you see, Rabbitleap lied to us to turn us all against Deathglare." Deathglare looked at Rabbitleap, who hung his head with his ears and tail drooping.

"I am sad to say this, but Rabbitleap, you are no longer the Deputy of CloudClan. You have not proved you are the right choice for the job, even if you did tell the truth. As well as that for punishment, you will be assigned to apprentice duties instead of those for warriors. Now, before I appoint the new Deputy, I'd like to say some other things.

"Deathglare, it is time that your name is changed. Your name does not describe you. You name represent hatred, and cruelty. It says you are a murderer. You are none of these things. In the name of StarClan, I hereby change your name to Stormheart.

"Now, Skykit, please come forward."

A small white-and-beige kit bounced forward excitedly.

"Skykit, the time has come that you be made an apprentice. From now on you shall be known as Skypaw. Stormheart, you are to be Skypaw's mentor. I trust that you will pass on everything you know to this apprentice so he will become a loyal member of CloudClan."

Stormheart briefly touched noses with Skypaw.

"Next, I shall appoint the new Deputy. I say these words before my warrior ancestors of StarClan so they may hear and approve my choice. Stormheart, please step forward."

Stormheart couldn't believe it. He took a few steps forward to face his Leader a bit more closely and dipped his head.

"Stormheart, you have proven that you can make the right descision, no matter how hard it is to do it. You are loyal to your Clan, and that is why I hereby appoint you to be Deputy of CloudClan."

The Clan chanted Skypaw's and Stormheart's new names. "Skypaw! Stormheart! Skypaw! Stormheart!"

[.as.the.deputy.]

During his term as a Deputy, Stormheart was using most of his time, hunting, training, and even supervising Rabbitleap. He had to wait some time before he built up his strength, but it was fine. He always defended his Clan, and everything was smooth running. There was nothing bad between him and Rabbitleap, either.

That leaf-bare was very harsh, though. Even worse, the Leader only had one more life. He ended up losing it to greencough after about a moon into the season.

[.as.the.leader.]

Stormstar had to recieve his nine lives and new name the day that the Leader died, since it was already the phase of the moon to do so. A moon later, he apprenticed Skypaw to become Skywinds. Sadly Rabbitleap was killed on border patrol by a badger not long after. Stormstar still mourns his foster brother's death, but he remains to hold his Clan strong. The bads deeds done by all never went without punishment, and the Clan thrived and lived happily with him as their Leader.
