a small, dark brown she cat with amber eyes.
minkstar is and always has been a very small cat. not only is she small in her length and height, but her sleek fur that always clings to her body doesn't help her look any larger. her fur is a dark brown all around, but can appear lighter when it is hit by the sunlight. she has a natural glossy appearance, which is most likely given from constantly cleaning her pelt. she has striking amber eyes that are practically a light yellow, but again, the appearance depends on the lighting around her. her claws and whiskers are all white with tiny black tints on the ends. minkstar has a very long tail, a bit longer than average, and pale pink paw pads with a dark brown nose.

hunter: minkstar has been a hunter her entire life. while she is a warrior as well, each cat tends to have a niche that stands above the other, in this case, hers is catching prey. not only does her quick bursts of speed and slender, agile frame help this, her determination and willingness to the hunt makes her just as successful. for the most part, she spent her life being the best hunter in her clan, and as she ages, she just continues to succeed.
strategic/intelligent: minkstar is a smart cat. not only is she smart when it comes to her clan, but also when it comes to figuring out the best way to handle certain situations. she seems to have the best mind when it comes to planning ambushes or sneak attack, but can also have a strong mind when it comes to remaining calm and composed in the most chaotic of situations. if you have a beef to pick with someone, minkstar is a good cat to help you succeed.
dauntless: she isn't the most laid back of cats. minkstar is a trouble-maker hidden under her age. from the moment she could walk on her own four paws, she was trying to cause trouble, and didn't feel herself unless she was running from the fire she had set. in other words, she really loves to push her limits and see how far she can go before being confronted. this makes her both a cunning and yet, reckless leader. she is never afraid to take what she wants, and she won't stop until you make her.
brave: her bravery is just as strong as her daring nature. again, she doesn't allow fear into her mind, and will most likely appear reckless, which you would be right. while she is really brave and just wants to be the hero of her clan, this is both troublesome and helpful. while she can save the day and win the rewards, she can also do just the opposite by sending the clans into chaos.
passive-aggressive: minkstar's personality can twist and change in mere seconds depending on the situation. for example, she takes the training of apprentices very seriously, and when it is not done correctly, she can surprise all the cats by turning on a dime from the normal, calm and composed cat to a spawn of the devil himself.
curious: by nature, cats are curious, that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. however minkstar's curiosity really does tie her to trouble. when you bring this trait to compare with all of her others, it is just a recipe for disaster. her curious nature will mostly be done by her warriors instead of her flat out walking into trouble, but then again, you can never tell with this she cat.

Specklefur - 75 moons - Warrior
Mongoosetail- 81 moons - Warrior
runningpaw - 10 moons - Medicine Cat Apprentice
Sandpaw - 13 moons - Apprentice
softstep - 47 moons - Warrior
0-6 moons: specklefur and mongoosetail were pretty young when they decided to bring their first litter into the world. specklefur had only been 28 moons. but, they were ready to begin a family and the clan was doing pretty well for the time being, so they decided it was as good a time as it would get. the birth was successful and not too hard on the young female, blessing the family with two little kits from starclan. the largest of the kits was a young, dark brown tom. because of his fur that resembled the soft fur of voles, he earned the name softkit. the smaller she cat was much paler than her brother and much smaller as well. due to this size and the lighter fur she earned the name minkkit. both of the kits were spunky and spent a lot of their time racing or trying to catch little tumbleweeds as they rolled across the ground.
they weren't the most peaceful, and often times they were getting under the paws of their leader and the other warriors. even though they could be a paw-ful, their mother was young and it was her first litter, both parents were at awe with their children and believed they could do no wrong. no matter how many times the other cats would whisper about how annoying they were, specklefur was still proud and refused to believe her kits were any different than ordinary kits - and in summary, they really weren't. Kits were often spunky and full of life, so this should have come to no surprise when they were as annoying as know-it-all apprentices when they were only mere kits.
7-12 moons: apprenticehood came fast for the siblings and it wasn't long before they sat before the clan with fur bristling in excitement as their mother watched on, looking like she too, would bounce out of her fur. their father was an older tom and though this was his first litter as well and he was proud, he was more calm than his mate and kits, but his pride beamed in his gaze. they would become known as minkpaw and softpaw for the time being and the two would gain their mentors. minkpaw got a kind, sure-footed warrior by the name of swiftfoot. she was a kind she cat, but she was strict, and the current leader, foxstar was confident she would be able to tame the wild spirit that was minkpaw.
taming the beast within her was already a challenge for the middle-aged warrior. while softpaw seemed to simmer down and grow into his fathers personality more, minkpaw remained hyper, confident that she could take a whole clan of actual fierce dog's and send them to the earth in a heap. while her mentor was pleased with her energy, she wasn't so much with the reckless little she cat she had been dealt. minkpaw had no limits and no filter. she was not afraid to throw herself into a hunt or fight that was obviously too much for her to handle. it was no surprise when returning from training she spent the night in the medicine cat den and her mentor looked ruffled and exhausted.
when she turned twelve moons old, it was no surprise that her dauntless actions had postponed her warrior ceremony. she watched with her heart in her throat as her brother stood alone in front of the clan, earning the title softstep for his swift movements and then sat the vigil by himself. minkpaw was jealous and all she wanted to do was get her revenge, but she calmed herself down in the hopes that eventually she would get her own warrior ceremony and become a warrior in her turn.
13-19 moons: at the age of thirteen moons, she was finally granted her own warrior ceremony for her well-behaved season. of course, it was all an act on her part, if she had kept up being reckless, she most likely would have been an apprentice until she was 26 moons! at least that was what swiftfoot had told her. sitting in front of the clan once again, but this time to join them as warriors, her mother had looked like she would burst with pride all over again. even though it was more than obvious that stopstep had been their favorite. he had been the perfect - though minkpaw called it boring or average - son. that night, she earned the name minkspring for her strong hind legs and large leap, and sat vigil for her clan.
the next five moons or so were pretty simple and flew by. she began on her first patrols, specifically enjoying the hunting ones, and often went on two to three a day. her energetic nature kept her from sitting still and usually couldn't truly stop running around until she would flop from exhaustion. while this may have seemed just as annoying as when she was a kit/apprentice, it wasn't as much. As she could simply push it aside and bury herself in the plentiful duties that came in the life of a warrior. some thought she would mellow out and learn how to be a normal, confident warrior, but it seemed that she would truly never outgrow her endless energy and reckless habits.
26-32 moons: in the transition up to her twenty-sixth moon, it was uneventful besides patrolling and learning the habits of every-day warrior life. so jumping up to her 28th moon, she received her first apprentice, even though foxstar was hesitant to give her one. the clan was full of new life and the most suitable warriors either weren't willing to take on a new apprentice or already had one, leaving the younger, more naive warriors to take them on. the young tom she was given was called dapplepaw, simply for his light pelt that carried so many dark and interesting patterns. minkspring would surprise them all when she turned out to be a very suitable mentor for the young cat.
while dapplepaw was very energetic like his mentor, it was much easier for minkspring to handle him and teach him how to express his energy. and she didn't even pass on her reckless traits! around her thirty-second moon, swiftfur would give birth to her second litter. this time, they would both be she kits that were named runningpaw and sandpaw. both of which her were energetic fur balls like their sister before. and it probably didn't help that minkspring spent a lot of time with the young kits, who seemed to pick up on her dauntless nature. but, with an apprentice of her own, it was hard to spend so much time with them, eventually being forced to visit the nursery less and less.
33-38 moons: when she was thirty-four moons old, dapplepaw was finally ready for his warrior ceremony. minkspring was bursting with almost as much pride as the young cat himself. she watched as he became dapplepool for his love of the rain and water, as well as his serene nature that he grew into. by the time she had reached her thirty-eighth moon, runningkit and sandkit had become apprentices.br]
39-44 moons: tragedy would strike the young family in double in the next six moons. the first would be the death of runningpaw that left the little family, as well as the entire clan, in mourning. the apprentice had been out showing the leader and deputy a strange batch of multiple kills that she had found. the apprentice had been there waiting while they discussed if it could have been an omen from star-clan. as though on cue, four rogue cats ambushed the little group. runningpaw had very little training to fight at this point, and in the scuffle, both her and the current deputy had been killed. foxstar and the current medicine cat, morningsong had managed to finish the group off, though foxstar had lost a life from blood loss afterwards. between the two cats, it was known that he was on his last life. with the loss of the deputy, minkspring, was chosen to the position, which surprised the entire clan and the she cat herself.
but, the clan wouldn't catch a break here. in the next leaf-bare a strong bout of green-cough took over the camp. this time it claimed foxstar himself and sandpaw, as well as two other warriors and another apprentice. the clan was in shock and terrified. how could the leader lose his last two lives within only four moons? it left the clan vulnerable to lose so many cats and minkspring who had just become deputy barely four moons before was terrified herself. even with the confidence in her that her little family carried, she couldn't share it with them. she was terrified, and so was the clan. it was definitely a tragic period for the clan, one they weren't sure they would be able to get out of.
45-47 moons: minkspring received her nine lives the evening after foxstar lost his last life, and chose her deputy before moonhigh of the day she returned. slowly, but surely, she is building the clans confidence and showing the clan that even though she is a little too energetic, and a little too reckless, she can maintain a leadership that will rebuild the clan, not only as a group of cats that will thrive, but one as a family as well.
