Name: Galestar
Rank: Leader
Alive? Yes

Description: Small, long-haired brown tabby she-cat with green eyes and black feet.

Past: When Galestar appeared at the full-moon gathering as Shadowclan's leader many seasons ago, most cats were surprised to learn that the previous leader, Glowstar, had lost his last life. To this day, no one outside Shadowclan is sure how most of his lives were lost, as his time as leader seemed very short. And of course, it was also strange that his last life was lost on the thunder path...

Galestar pays no mind to the rumors. Her only focus is on keeping Shadowclan strong as any honorable leader would. At least, that's what she says...

Name: Whisperfoot
Rank: Deputy
Alive? Yes

Description: White tom with shockingly blue eyes and one missing ear tip.

Past: Whisperfoot was found as a kit amongst crowfood and twoleg pelts in the carrionplace one particularly desperate leafbare. The clan soon discovered that he was deaf.

Some were not sure why Glowstar accepted him readily into Shadowclan, especially when food was so scarce, but as he grew, it was clear the Tom had the drive and skill to be an excellent warrior. He was named for the way he stalks almost silently through Shadowclan's forest territory. Sometimes even his own clan mates don't hear him approach until he's right beside them.

Relationships: Was very close to Glowstar before the Leader's passing.

Name: Frogpaw
Rank Apprentice
Description: A bumbling she-cat somewhere between grey and tan with patches of both. She has rich brown eyes.
Alive? Until further notice

Past: Frogkit and Toadkit were born from Galestride's (Galestar) only littler. The two kits were inseparable and together had dreams of becoming Shadowclan's first-ever co-leaders. No one is quite sure where their indifferent attitude towards the Warrior Code came from. While their mother is certainly willing to bend the code to her will, the two kits constantly sought out ways to break and change it.  Unfortunately for their dream of shared leadership, Troublefoot had a vision from Starclan that Toadkit would become the greatest Shadowclan leader since Shadowstar her self. And so Galestride decided to personally groom Toadkit for leadership. hoping to train the rebellion out of him. Simultaneously, Glowstar, following the advice of Troublefoot, made her deputy, hoping it would ensure that Toadkit had every opportunity to fulfill his greatness.

Frogkit responded to their mother's disinterest by going on adventures and even crossing into other clan's territory. This further enraged their mother who felt it undermined her authority as deputy and exacerbated the tensions between them

Upon reaching six moons, Frogpaw and Toadpaw became apprentices. Toadpaw became apprenticed to Galestride and Frogpaw to Mosspelt. For Frogpaw, Mosspelt was a disappointment, while her brother was being personally trained by their mother, she had to deal with the uncomfortably green Mosspelt, a warrior most renown for his unnatural fur. As apprentices, the two cats showed their ability. Together they went on many splendid adventures.

But the adventure that is most relevant to this story, is their final one. The two apprentices joined a battle against Thudnerclan, and when the Thunderclan patrol retreated they noticed two cats didn't flee back to camp. So Frogpaw and Toadpaw followed the scent until they stumbled upon the new warrior, Longpelt. Toadpaw easily dispatched Longpelt and was ready to take the Thudnerclan cat prisoner when Longpelt's former mentor, Icestar, attacked him from behind. Toadpaw later succumbs to these injuries and the Thunderclan cats escaped back to their territory.

Since her brother's death, Frogpaw has become more disillusioned with the Warrior Code. She feels it's her duty to bring peace to the clans and is willing to risk her life to make that dream a reality. Galestar became leader shortly after Toadpaw's death yet refused to make Frogpaw a warrior. The new Shadowclan leader still blames Frogpaw for her brother's death. And so she remains an apprentice.
