Riverstar (WIP)

Riverstar is a well-built, darker gray tom with bold, marbled black stripes ranging from his head to tail and a light blue-silver secondary. He is a silver charcoal bengal (mix), seeing as his mother was from a long line of pure-bred bengal show-cats. He has thinner, slightly downturned burlap eyes and a very thin, sleek pelt thhat highlights his toned physique. He is typically well-groomed, and even if not, his fur is naturally glossy.

As a kit, Riverstar was pretty large. He had big paws, too sizable for his tiny legs, and a stubbier, roughly-tufted tail. As he grew, so did his tail, and not much else changed. As most kits do, he also grew into his paws.He also had noticeably brighter-colored eyes as a kit, more of a dull golden then his current bronze/burlap shade. His eye color darkened as he grew, becoming a more golden-brown shade during apprenticeship and reaching its full bronze hue once he was fully grown.

He was above average height for quite a while as a young warrior and so on, but with age, he noticeably shrunk to the average height of a warrior.

Because of the 9 lives granted to him through Starclan and the power of the Moonstone, he received a bright blue star-shaped marking on his forehead.

After his revival, Riverstar constantly has a worn-out look to him. He has bags under his eyes and a droopy, solemn-looking appearance, although still constantly wears a tired smile that overlooks his exhaustion. He also never recovered his former strength, instead taking on a slimmer, narrow frame and frail build, as well as dull eyes that always seem to have a hopeful light in them.

Riverstar takes it upon himself to be there for other cats. He has a strict set of moral values and, while abiding strenuously to the Warrior Code, is willing to bend rules if he believes it is for the greater good. He's big on second chances and believes every cat has the ability to do good. Because he was given a chance when he broke free from the ranks of BloodClan and was accepted into RiverClan, he thinks every cat should have a similar chance at starting over.

Riverstar connects with others easily, and, despite differences, is quick to form bonds. His eagerness to form friendships, however, can make him gullible. He often has trouble seeing the dark side of another cat until it's too late. His openness also draws in cats with darker pasts, since he treats everyone the same, no matter their background.

When faced with conflict, Riverstar can become easily frustrated. His first response to his problems is to ignore them and keep himself busy with other things in order to keep his mind off of his grievances. While this has opened up several oppurtunities for him and allowed him to quickly overcome his grief, simply pretending like his issues never happened won't help him solve them, and will enable him to continue making the same mistakes.
