Birchstar is the cunning leader of JaggedClan. She's currently 4 years and 6 months(54 moons). While she wasn't born in JaggedClan, she tries to do her best for herself and those she cares about. She was born in leafbare 4 years ago to a molly named Lelani and a father named Spruce. Birchstar identifies as female and doesn't have a preference for who she connects with. She's benefits with both genders. Males for protection and charm, females for emotional connections. She was formerly named Birchlight. Birch - for her pelts resemblance to the pale tree and -light for her intelligence. She was named -star after the death of Buzzardstar.
Birchstar is a slim molly. She has long, muscular legs connected to a skinny body. Life in JaggedClan has left her without much fat. However, lean muscle does ripple beneath her slick silver fur. Her pelt is speckled with dark colored, black flecks. Spots if you will. Her paws, and belly are painted a cream color due to tarnishing. Being left out in the sun can do that to a cat. Her eyes are a greenish yellow color, striking against her pale colored pelt. Similar to her paws, her nose is a reddish pink color. Body wise, Birchstar is fairly angular. Her face seems to be a mix of triangular and square and shape. On the top of her head, she has two long ears. Her tail is fairly long but crooked dew to previously being dislocated. She doesn't really have many scars. Few tiny ones scatter her short fur.

In her times before JaggedClan, Birchstar was a very hasty molly. She often didn't think much about things unless she had to. She did whatever came to mind... Usually what came to mind was something that protected herself or her family. She was quick to leave others and do her own thing if that's what surviving meant. Still, from a very young age she thought that revenge and justice was necessary. She'd do anything to achieve this.
A youthful Birchstar was a delight. While she often didn't talk unless it was necessary, she was very humorous and enjoyed sharing sarcastic humor with her family when she wasn't plotting or surviving. She wasn't as slow to warm up to cats and found it easy to interact with felines her age. Towards them, she joked around and protected them the best she could. Things changed as time went on however.
Upon joining JaggedClan, Birchstar was a fairly quiet molly. She didn't really talk to cats she wasn't familiar with. Even if you didn't talk to her, it was easy to tell that she always had a lot on her mind. Birchstar's mind is a unique one. She is very keen and is good at coming up with plans to benefit in someway. She tends to think far ahead, knowing that one thing leads to another. She does her best to prevent poor futures and when things don't go her way, she's quick to anger. Along with her keenness comes perceptiveness. She is selectively so, deciding which things need her attention and which things don't.
After living in JaggedClan for awhile, it becomes clear that Birchstar is very self serving. This brings out a petty side of her, seeing petty actions as unavoidable. She does everything to make sure she has the last word. She struggles to care for others and typically does for herself. Typically. After becoming mates with Buzzardstar, one can see how devoted she is. So devoted that it may seem unhealthy. Once she finds someone that is worthy of her time, she'd do anything for them. She's slow to deny that cat and is slow to betray a cat unless they prove that they're worthy of betrayal. Along with devotion comes a deep jealousy. She isn't really good at handling her feelings when another cat threatens the love she has for someone.
Once she earned the name -star, Birchstar seemed to lose her silent and mysterious nature. This was replaced with a great pride. Pride in herself, pride in her abilities, and pride in the name of JaggedClan. At gatherings she shows herself to be immensely proud of her and JaggedClan's abilities. She also isn't too humble and is typically the last to apologize. If StarClan were to demand she get rid of her pride, she'd deny them.
More will be revealed about Birchstar's personality as her life goes on.
A pair or green eyes glow in the shadows before getting closer. It's an average sized female. Silver fur hides beneath her small black spots. The leader stands before you. "Birchstar," You meow, wondering if this cat is a friend or a foe.
Father - Spruce: "You turned your back on me seasons ago. Are you really worthy enough to call yourself my father? I made sure justice was served and you treat me like... I guess I should be thanking you. If you hadn't turned your back on me then I wouldn't be where I am today.... Still, you deserve everything that happened to you."
Mother - Lelani: "I knew Spruce was a coward but not you... When you agreed with him... I... I can't believe both of you, even to this day. Still, if you hadn't told me to go then I wouldn't be the leader of JaggedClan. I hope to never see you or Spruce again."
Ex Mate - Buzzardstar: "Buzzardstar? Is that you... You left way too soon. There's not a day where I don't think about you. Do you know what you left behind? This clan.... They're.... I don't know. Just know that I will never stop loving you. Will I ever see you again?"
Current Lover - Goldenstorm: "Goldenstorm. I'm not sure what to say to you. I'm not sure if I have stopped mourning Buzzardstar but.... I trust you a lot and I love my time with you. Oh how I love my time with you. I love... I don't want to leave this territory without you."
Enemy - Briarstar: "Oh, it's you. Why have you come to me? I don't like thinking about you. I don't want to think about you. One day... One day soon I'll never have to see you again. JaggedClan will prosper.... And your clan.... You know what will happen to your clan."
Ask and I will give Birchstar's opinions
Birchstar was born to the beautiful Lelani and a cobby tom named Spruce in a neighborhood seasons ago. She didn't have any siblings or other family. Just her, her mom, and her dad. The three were close knit, travelling the houses for food and shelter, fleeing and hunting. The two taught Birchstar all they knew, this included their history. How they used to live with a giant group of cats and how their leader exiled them for something they didn't do. Birchstar, a naive young feline, thought that that was unfair and that justice needed to be dealt. She told her parents of her goals but they wholeheartedly wanted to avoid the place they left long ago.
A new era of Birchstar's life began there. She was only about a year old but she had decided to leave her parents and seek justice. It took several moons to find the city her parents spook of. When she did find the city, the young tabby was amazed. She had never seen so many cats in her life.. And since she had decided to live there until she was confident in her abilities, she had a hard time adjusting. She met several cats who were very important to her but at the same time, made sure to keep a distance. She was there to get strong and deal justice.
Among several cats, she met an older tom named Buzzard who taught her a few skills but ended up leaving.
Around the age of 2, Birchstar deemed herself powerful enough and eventually made a move. In the dead of the night, she followed the leader of the city group to his den. Filled with fear, anxiety, and anger, Birchstar skipped making him apologize and killed him. This shocked her for awhile. She stayed with her friends but eventually, the word got out and she had to escape. The group left her almost dead, she barely escaped.
She needed another home. Perhaps she could find that Buzzard guy who had left such an impression on her.
So the scared Birchstar traveled, again, for several moons. On the way there, she met her parents who were horrified at what she had done. They had never expected their only daughter to turn out this way.... This sparked something in Birchstar, seeing her parents despise her for doing something good....
By the time she had found the whereabouts of Buzzard, she was a different cat. Much more silent and much more analytical. She was surprisingly confident however.
Buzzard was a whole new cat as well. He was noble, powerful, and he lead a group of his own. JaggedClan. Deciding she had nowhere else to go, Birchstar decided to stay with Buzzard who was then called Buzzardstar. She trained and learned the ways of JaggedClan, her abilities becoming an asset to the many cats of the clan. Eventually, she became mates with Buzzardstar who made her deputy after the last died.
Having authority changed Birchstar even more. She grew more cocky and the cockier she got, the more intelligent she got.
When Buzzardstar died, she was distraught. Despite the fact that she earned her leader name, she spent several moons by herself mourning her lost mate. Eventually, she brought herself back to her paws and organized the first raid in a long time. Along with this, she found solace in Goldenstorm in whom she now trusts and loves dearly.
The aforementioned raid on OakClan left them with prey but it also left the other clans pissed. In an act of selfishness, Birchstar has decided to leave JaggedClan's burned home and try to be a clan somewhere else. Now, she and her clan prepare to start anew.
- Birchstar's voice is similar to Laura Prepon.
- Birchstar's loves the smell of the cold. Not that the cold has a smell... More that she likes the feeling of inhaling the cold. She hates the smell of FlameClan and their meadows and she hates the smell of musty trees and leaf mold that lingers on OakClan. Oddly, Birchstar enjoys the scent of MistClan. They constantly smell of fresh moss and fresh prey. She'll never admit this though.
- Birchstar will pretty much eat anything that's easy to eat and catch. She hates eating birds and reptiles. She dislikes the tough scales of of reptiles and hates picked off feathers to eat birds.
- Birchstar may eat most anything but she loves eggs. It was a delicacy where she came from and she has very fond memories of stealing them when she was younger. Birds don't really nest in JaggedClan territory however so she had to stop eating them.
- Birchstar doesn't really have a favorite season, all of them have challenges that she hates. However, if she had to pick a season, it'd be Leaf Bare. She'd rather be cold than hot.
- She fears being rejected by those she loves most. She fears losing her power and authority but she will drop that if it means losing her loved ones or pride.
