Cottonstar

Cottonstar is a brown tom with darker stripes and a reddish stripe along his spine. He has bright yellow eyes and a few scars scattered along his shoulder.

Cottonstar was born into a happy family of three kits. His brothers, Adderkit(Tail) and Scale(paw) were always close as they grew up. His parents were close as well and always praised the toms. Although, when they were apprentices, the smallest of the three brothers Scalepaw, had tried to catch fish in the river in the spring (the most dangerous time of year due to the snow melt and rain) and was washed away. He was found dead on shore a few sunrises later. And when him and his remaining brother became warriors, he lost his only remaining sibling to a fox. Though he was hurt by the deaths of his brothers, he was determined all the way through, and soon became leader.

Afterwards, he met a beautiful spotted she-cat named Riverstone, and after being friends for a while they became mates.

Cottonstar and Riverstone had three kits, Finchflame, Puddlesplash, and Thornstripe. Later on in their relationship, Riverstone had passed away and gone to Star Clan,leaving Cottonstar alone with his kits.

Later on in his life, Cottonstar had a short affair with Fawngaze of Briar Clan, resulting in him later on having two half-clan kits.

Mapletail, one of his half-clan kits, eventually joined Rush Clan with his mate, Poppybranch. Cottonstar lied to the whole of Rush Clan that Mapletail was actually his brother's kit.

Later on, in a fight with Helios, Cottonstar lost the rest of his lives. Mapletail's brother, Acornfur, found his body in the river and helped bring it back to Rush Clan.

Cottonstar 's position was succeeded by Ricestar.
