Lavenderstar

Summary
Lavenderstar is a calico she-cat with a soft green gaze. She has a fairly long tail and is quite long legged. She has a dark pink nose and same colored paw pads. She is the current leader to MeadowClan.

Kithood
Lavenderkit was born to Acornbreeze and Feathergaze during the reign of Ravenstar in MeadowClan. Ravenstar was not fond of Acornbreeze nor her kits because of personal history that Lavenderstar never found out about. Therefore in the midst of the night, Ravenstar stole Acornbreeze's kits, Tallkit, Hawkkit, Dustkit and Lavenderkit, racing them to the border of RidgeClan where he hoped they would die. However, a warrior, later leader named Brightpelt and Fernpaw, an apprentice, found these kits, and rushed them to their leader, Wolfstar. Wolfstar was discontented with the ideas of more mouths to feed, but decided to house them until they became the age of an apprentice. While watching over the kits, Wolfstar noticed that Lavenderkit had unusally long legs, a trait only found in MeadowClan cats. He confronted the kits, which the kits had no idea what he was talking about, all they knew was RidgeClan. Later, Wolfstar guided the kits to a secluded area in the forest, convincing them that they where going training early, however he showed them their real mother and father. While the kits were asleep, Wolfstar led a patrol towards the MeadowClan border, talking to a patrol about subsequently missing kits. They nodded, saying that MeadowClan kits had been missing for about five moons, the age of Lavenderkit, Tallkit, Hawkkit and Dustkit. Wolfstar mentioned that four cats had joined his Clan five moons earlier, out of the blue- discovered by one of his warriors. The patrol believed his stories, therefore sending Acornbreeze and Feathergaze into the forest of RidgeClan to meet their 'lost kits'. Luckily, Ravenstar had died a moon earlier, leaving Spottedfur as the leader. When Lavenderkit, Tallkit, Hawkkit and Dustkit noticed the pair of unknown warriors they were hesitant to approach them. In their minds, Brightpelt was their mother. Acornbreeze, talking smoothly and calmly explained to the kits their situtation, which still the kits do not remember clearly about. After being forced by Wolfstar, the kits were returned to MeadowClan with open paws. Lavenderkit, Tallkit, Hawkkit and Dustkit were not made apprentices once they reached 6 moons. Rather, they had to wait an extra 2 moons due to an uneasiness in the Clan. They didn't fully trust that the kits would stay loyal to MeadowClan, after seeing and learning the ways of RidgeClan. Their mother tried her best to persuade Spottedstar and Leafdusk, the deputy at the time, into settling the Clan's fur. Spottedstar finally caved, with Leafdusk's disapproval, saying that it wasn't just to ignore the next generation. They were made apprentices on the spot.

Apprenticeship
Lavenderpaw got Aspenwillow, a senior warrior, as her mentor, Tallpaw got Sageheart, Hawkpaw got Spottedstar and Dustpaw, Briarwish.

On Lavenderpaw's first day of training, she met Wasppaw. A rambunctious, skilled tom, who was only 2 moons older than her. She didn't quite understand her feelings for him, but knew that her attraction was more than just being friends. It was known that if Lavenderpaw wasn't training, she was talking with Wasppaw, or training with Wasppaw, or doing anything to be with him. She was obsessed. It wasn't until her first gathering, which wasn't until her 2nd moon into apprenticeship, that she realized, he didn't like her back. She was so excited to go to a gathering, that she didn't realize he was with her. He was walking with another she-cat, Cloverpaw. The daughter to Leafdusk and Tatteredflight. Of course, she thought,'' He is only after the glory of the Clan. ''She was disgusted and vowed to never get obsessed with another tom for the rest of her life. Sadly, that backfired. (That will be covered in her warriorship.)

Lavenderpaw trained like crazy from then on. Day in, day out. She was convinced that Aspenwillow thought she was crazy. Lav didn't realize that her anger and her drive were coming from her deep hatred for Cloverpaw. Oh how she wanted to kill the deputies daughter. But, she couldn't tell anyone. She had no close connections, except for a newly named apprentice, Poppypaw of FrostClan. They had met at Poppypaw's first gathering and Lavenderpaw's last. She liked the apprentice, she was spunky, good-natured, and stood her ground. But, they couldn't be friends. Only acquaintances, unless a battle ensued. She dropped the friendship as soon as it began, leaving Poppypaw distraught.

Now it was time for Lavenderpaw's test to be a warrior.
