Nightstar

Nightstar is a pretty soft-furred silver-and-white tabby she-cat with black patterns, white paws, a fluffy tail, and blue eyes. She is the current leader of NightClan, succeeding Moonstar.

Early Life
Nightstar was born as Nightkit to Brightwing and Shadowcloud. She was an only child, and therefore both Brightwing and Shadowcloud were protective of her. She was apprenticed to Moonstar herself and trained alongside her denmates Crowpaw and Fadingpaw.

Warrior Life
She earned her warrior name of Nightshadow before either of her denmates and quickly received her first apprentice, Harepaw. However, Harepaw decided to train as a medicine cat after a few moons, and Nightshadow received her next apprentice, Stormpaw. Unfortunately, Stormpaw died in a battle she led where Crowflight also died. Due to this, Nightshadow fell into a deep depression while Clanmates such as Harestorm and Duskflight continued ignoring her.

Surprisingly, after the old deputy Blacktail was exiled, Nightshadow was made deputy herself. By then, most of the events of the battle had been forgotten and she led NightClan after Moonstar's death.
