☆☆☆
Gene String: LL blbl XOXo aa McMc Ee Wsw
Appearance:
Ever since she was a kit, Pebblestar has had large shoulders yet slim ankles. This build, whilst useful for moments that need both swiftness and brunt - often is detrimental to the way in which she is able to move. Her broad shoulders help her when pushing through water or slamming into the enemy, yet her weak ankles often twist or injure her when she is racing through the forest.
With her sandy, patterned coat, Pebblestar is often in her element during the high and dry summer moons where the forest (even under the canopy that keeps the air moist) is tinged with the lack of rain and dusty from the stillness of the air. During moons where she sticks out like a rabbit in a pack of wolves - you will find this molly hunting at dusk and at night in order for her coat to make her less likely to contrast sharply with the deep greens she lives around.
Her large ears help greatly when hunting at night. Though her eyes are good enough to be able to squint and see the body of an animal in the night, it is her ears that truly help her locate, hunt down and pin down the prey that will buries itself amongst the shrubbery.
Personality
Positive Traits: • Loyal to the Bone • Joyful • Determined | Negative Traits: • Stubborn • Firey • opinionated |
Personality:
'“To say nothing is saying something. You must denounce things you are against or one might believe that you support things you really do not.”
That saying which has been passed down generation to generation in both scorn and pride is what fuels Pebblestar and allows her to be the cat she is in current day. Her fierce loyalty to her Clan and the ones she loves is something that is often admired - especially in moments when a voice is needed yet cats from all Clans cower from the attention they will receive from speaking up.
When injustice is apparent and the offending party sneers in disdain for those who will not speak up - you will find Pebblestar on the front line. Teeth bared, ears flat and eyes a flaming yellow, Pebblestar often refuses to back down from a fight. Whilst this is good in times when a stubborn footing is needed, it can often lead to a downfall of the Clan. As a young leader, Pebblestar is still learning to pick and choose her battles.
Alongside this firey stubbornness comes her passion. Excitable, loving and playful are traits that Pebblestar holds dearly to her heart. Some claim she never really grew up from being a kit - but she just retorts that she is allowing herself the proper time to grow and develop. Being stern and silent all the time, to her, can lead to tensions that are unneeded. Having a happy presence around in camp is something that is vital to keep the gears running. In a time of crisis - there is little to no point to adding to the tension by snapping and growing irritable with those that are only trying to help.
So, in summary, Pebblestar is a strong willed she-cat who rarely lets another's opinion sway her mind. Her youthful spirit is something that is ingrained into her but, with that, comes an immaturity that is still being plucked out by Leadership.

Character Background
History:
Born to Rosebloom amd Foxcroon, Pebblekit lived a warm, loving beginning of her life. Support was always there when she needed it and, most evenings, she was curled amongst her parents as they overlooked the lapping waves that became nothing more than background noise when she grew up. Cherished and adored was what many commented when they saw the small family. Birthing only one kit was certainly strange but not unheard of - however, it was no secret Rosebloom always ached for a large family. So when it was advised she had no more kits and instead settled for Pebblekit, the loving couple did everything they could in order to ensure that their young kit grew up safe and confident within herself.
The self-assured attitude Pebblekit was born with followed her through to apprenticeship. Now named Pebblepaw, the calico molly began to truly grow into herself. After the peaceful passing of her typically elder parents, Pebblepaw vowed to live for them. Her firm belief in Starclan allowed her to believe she would see them once more, in a different life. For the mean time, however, she would live every moment for them.
Given the mentor of Rainsplatter, Pebblepaw was quick to learn how conflicting views could make everyday a difficult one. Her mentor was a surly, bitter tom that was only focused on being the best. He, one training session, declared that he would do whatever it took to become the greatest in the Clan - even if it meant hurting those close to him. That was the first time pure rage coursed through Pebblepaw's heart and, from that moment on, she would never hold back her snide comments or full strength blows when training with the bedraggled tom.
Her one saving grace whilst she was an apprentice was Wavepaw. Though older than her and a bit more timid than what she was used to, Pebblepaw put all her passion into their friendship. Inside jokes, splashing in the water and watching sunsets together soon became the normal for the two of them. It was blissful. However, like most things, it couldn't last. Exploring the neighbouring territories border one day led to Pebblepaw eventually stumbling directly onto a bitter, cocky tom by the name of Rattlepaw.
An odd friendship full of playful jabs, dirty-trick sparring and snappish comments soon took up most of Pebblepaw's time. When the two of the became warriors, however, Pebbleshimmer soon realised something. The feelings she had developed for Rattledance and Waveheart was not something that could happen. Coming from two separate Clans and the tensions that always simmered below the surface would forever be in their way.
Swallowing both her pride and bowing her head to the creators of fate, Pebbleshimmer accepted that being with the tabby tom would not be something that could ever happen. Maybe in another life. But, in the life she was living, she would rather live in the comfort that was Waveheart rather than fighting for something that would only bring pain to everyone involved. It was unfair, heartbreaking and soul shattering - but it was an important lesson. It was a lesson of acceptance and learning when to accept that not everything could go the way she sorely wanted it to.
Warrior life soon settled and, in that time, Waveheart and Pebbleshimmer became mates. The summer nights were spent full of laughter and the type of love that left you aching. When they both dreamt of the prophecy from Starclan - they steeled themselves and took comfort in the fact it was the two of them that would be pushing forward and allowing Shellclan to live on within their hearts.
The journey to the new Clan Lands were harsh. Unfamiliar cats, tense atmosphere and harsh living was sure to have both a mental and physical toll on anyone who took place. But, as with everything, Pebbleshimmer pushed on. Her chirpy attitude allowed her to see the positive in everything that they experienced. The only time it grew near snapping in half was the battle between Clan cats and the Loners.
Life had seemed to be settling down. Respect of borders and cultures seemed to be mutual between the cats but, no sooner had they settled in a make shift camp, were a mixture of loners and rogues flooding into their camps with howls of death and glinting teeth. Pebbleshimmer lost a lot that day - friends, dignity and her 'no killing' moto that she lived by.
However, the one thing that truly shocked the now Mossclan Moly was watching a Loner by the name of Rainer be slaughtered by Aspenbreeze. She never got to find out the reasoning behind but, as she watched a tom who basically took the role of a father to her, fall to the ground by the hands of who she considered a friend - an indisputable tension grew between Mossclan and Gorseclan.
Though becoming leader was the never the plan - when an omen was sent down and she was chosen to be the leader of Mossclan, Pebbleshimmer took it head on. Her age caused doubt and mutterings, but her passion and fiery will fought against all that opposed her.
As Mossclan grows and as she learns more and more about leadership - Pebblestar begins to understand more about the life. Her kit-like attitude stands strong and it forever will, however, when you see the molly walking around in the camp, there is now a hardened glint. A glint that shows the hardships she has faced alongside the ageing that comes with seeing her ancestors in the stars.
