in a blink of an eye Astralhaze
sweet land of liberty She-cat
let freedom ring 40 moons
stars and stripes forever Cloud
o'er the land of the free Warrior
surviving that fall from grace

Astralhaze’s short and soft pelt is very sleek, like smooth velvet. Her body is like a horse. The “saddle” part riding her back and up to her face like a mask is a bright silvery-gray tone, like the heavenly bodies for which she was named. This silver fades away to become pure white on her chest, belly, legs, and underside of the tail. Splatters of pitch spray over Astralhaze’s pelt and imprints on her forehead to become the tabby marking. On her spine there is a firm line of black that randomly intersperses with silver until the tip of her tail, which is all black with some fine white hairs. Astralhaze is a medium-sized cat and thus, her paws are small. Her long, slender legs that call the males and propel this female are attached to those lethal claw-holding paws and firm shoulders that are strong despite her slender shape. Her spine leads down to a willowy tail and up to a slender neck that possesses a pretty face.
Her face makes her look young for her age, but her eyes show wisdom beyond her years and those can’t even be described as a single, simple color. Astralhaze’s eyes sit above her white muzzle and rimmed in black. They are a fine green color inlaid with silver and gold foil. However, they are also splattered with strange shimmers of grayish-green and bluish-green. These dark eyes hold secrets and have witnessed more things that anyone should have to bear.

Alliumpelt’s, Leafcutter’s, and Daffodilring’s deaths profoundly changed Astralhaze, and she adopted many of her friend’s traits. One such trait was Daffodilring’s concept of teamwork, which is most clearly seen in the way Astralhaze mentored Briartalon. Astralhaze also inherits Alliumpelt’s chronic tardiness, due primarily to losing track of time during her frequent visits to her memorial site for them, where her Clanmates were killed. Ironically, this very habit is one that Astralpaw was often annoyed at Alliumpaw about. Alliumpaw was supposedly late to training due to always hanging out with the queens and elders.
Despite these changes, some of Astralhaze’s previous personality remains. She is fairly dispassionate compared to apprentices and fellow warriors, almost never showing emotion. She often says things that sound harsh but mean well, While Astralhaze is willing to help others, she remains somewhat aloof and unwilling to let anyone get too close to her, noting that she no longer has anyone important to her.
Astralhaze’s personal life appears to be as much of a mystery as the depths beyond her eyes. She has no living family, or at least none she cares to acknowledge, and she's confirmed that everyone she loves is already dead. She is immediately recognizable as the daughter of (or mistaken for) her father. It was rumored that Briartalon spent the entire day trying to determine the exact color of her eyes. She tells him they are green, only to have them shimmer blue and then gray as she turns away, suggesting that her eyes (or rather, their secrets), like much of the rest of her personality, is something she does not readily share.
Astralhaze has an ongoing, albeit slightly one-sided, rivalry with Briartalon, with Briartalon constantly proclaiming that Astralhaze is his rival and mentor (because he wants to be better than her one day), and considering his and Astralhaze’s children or following apprentices rivals. Astralhaze, on the other hand, seems indifferent to their rivalry, which annoys Briartalon (comically) to no end. Briartalon randomly challenges Astrahaze to random contests of skill, and Briartalon has acquired a record of 99 losses and 100 wins in doing so. Given that the contests that make up this figure are so varied (ranging from making the biggest leaf pile to who can bring in the most kill), this is not much of an achievement on Briartalon’s part. Nevertheless, Briartalon is proud of his “record“.

Like her father, Driftingtide, Astralhaze is considered a genius cat, becoming an apprentice at four moons and a warrior at nine. A few years after these accomplishments, Astralhaze’s father was disgraced by the Clan for abandoning a mission in favor of saving his comrades, which cost CloudClan dearly. Deeply ashamed and ostracized even by those he had saved, her father committed suicide, leaving Astralpaw to bear witness to the event. After her father's suicide, Astralpaw began to adhere strictly to the rules of the Clan – in particular, her vow dictating that the success of the Clan must come before the well being of one's Clanmates, causing her to become arrogant, humorless, and by-the-book.
At the age 9 moons, Astralhaze achieved warrior status. As a reward for her accomplishment, she was assigned to lead a group on a mission to flush out a badger den. Shortly after the mission started, Astralhaze’s Clanmate, Alliumpelt was trapped in the badger den. Astralhaze’s other Clanmates, Daffodilring and Leafcutter, immediately stated their intentions to save Alliumpelt, but Astralhaze said they had to focus on completing the mission, opting not to make the same mistake her father had. Though Astralhaze believed that they had to complete their objective and they parted ways [Astralhaze went to go kill a badger and the two others went to go safe Alliumpelt], a little reflection on Daffodilring’s words and Alliumpelt’s prior kindness eventually convinced her that her father had done the right thing in saving his Clanmates. This revelation prompted Astralhaze to turn back to join Daffodilring and Leafcutter in the rescue effort, although she initially claims that she did not believe Daffodilring could survive on her own—a statement that is more or less supported by how her arrival coincided with saving her oblivious friend from a badger attack.
During their attempt to save Alliumpelt, Leafcutter lost his life as a result of taking a badger attack for Astralhaze. To protect Astralhaze as well, Daffodilring managed to kill the badger. Soon after saving Alliumpelt, another badger came and struck Astralhaze. She would have been ripped apart beneath the claws had Alliumpelt not pushed her out of the way, getting her body shredded. Astralhaze avenged her friends by killing the badgers, bringing the Astralhaze of today into being.
Moons later, Astralhaze grew up and matured as a successful warrior instead of a snobby one. During this time, she had an apprentice by the name of Briarpaw, who became Briartalon after her best friend who had been slain. It wasn't long before she found love, but it was misplaced. The she-cat had fallen in love with the BrightClan deputy, Lastfalling. They had met in secret, keeping tabs on each other, and she did bear his kits, Loonkit and Albatrosskit. Loonkit was given to CloudClan and Albatrosskit was given to BrightClan.
