personality
biography From the moment she was born, Ashstar adored the night. As a kit, would sneak out of the nursery to sleep under the stars whenever she could, feeling a particular closeness to Starclan and her ancestors in that time. When she became an apprentice, she spent countless evenings weaving through the , just for the sake of feeling herself running free. After earning her warrior name, Ashdapple, however, she had very little time to enjoy traversing through the night as she once had in her younger moons. But, she never forgot the wonderment and delight she under the cloak of darkness, and made sure to pass that on to all the apprentices she trained. Although Ashdapple was by no means particularly ambitious as a warrior, she exhibited her cleverness and peaceful attitude in a way that caught the previous leader's eye. So, not long after she finished training her first apprentice, Ashdapple was promoted to the deputy's position. At first, she found it impossibly stifling. Always having to coordinate patrols and look after her clanmates chained her to the camp; she very rarely had the time to enjoy Snowclan's territory. And, for a while, she considered stepping down and allowing another warrior to take her place, Starclan knew there were a few who wanted to. But, just before she made a decision, Snowclan's previous leader spoke to her privately. He offered her insight into his opinions, and, while not much of his speech stuck with her, Ashdapple never forgot one particular part of what he told her. If she learned to love Snowclan as much as she loved the nighttime, looking after the clan would be much more rewarding. Afterwards, she felt, for the first time, a yearning to be the clan's leader. When the previous leader eventually passed away, Ashstar stepped up to take his place. Making her journey to the Moonflower, she found it fitting that the first life she was given was one of love. | ooc info  ☆ NAME Heika ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS n/a THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO Heika.

Writing Sample:
Ashstar sighed as she sat in the clearing, watching her clanmates going about their duties around her. A few warriors had just left camp on a hunting patrol, while a few more were gathering to go check the borders. Mischievous apprentices teased each other back and forth amongst their small groups of friends, and there were the occasional roughhousing kits who tumbled along in the dust. No doubt their mothers would spend the rest of the afternoon licking the dirt out of their pelts, an ordeal the kits would surely think of as a punishment.
Watching all of Snowclan safe and happy caused a rush of pride to swell in Ashstar's chest. Even though it had been so long since she was just a warrior herself, since before she had taken the suffix -star and accepted leadership of Snowclan, it felt like only yesterday that she was a starry-eyed apprentice running through the territory with wings for legs and a mind of wonder. But, now, she was the leader of a clan; it was her duty to protect everyone with the nine lives Starclan had granted her, and the fact that the medicine cat's den remained near empty proved that she was doing her job sufficiently. But, even though her actions as a leader were proving fruitful, they did not come about without their own fair share of sacrifice.
It had been so long since Ashstar had been able to enjoy some time to herself. The days sped by quickly, between planning patrols and making sure that the freshkill pile was always well stocked among other things. By the time the clan quieted down for the night, she was always so exhausted that she fell asleep the moment she settled into her nest. So, to be able to sit in the lazy rays of the afternoon sun, soaking it into her fur where knots — courtesy of her everyday stresses — constricted her tense shoulder muscles, was a blessing that came few and far between. If she had the energy, she would have given herself a brisk grooming. But, as it was, Ashstar was more than comfortable just basking in the warmth of newleaf and allowing herself to finally relax.
