Harestar's Links
Loudstar saw a lot in him, though I still find myself questioning her judgement so many seasons after her passing. He comes off as insecure in his leadership, for he became an unofficial protege of mine quite by accident some time ago! How unusual for a leader to act as he does. Strange times indeed.
Throughout the plague, she was the sap that held all four Clans together. Who am I to disrespect that? I should take as much knowledge from her as I can so I can lead ThunderClan back to prosperity.
Though... I can't look too weak. For that reason, I haven't accepted guidance from her in moons.
That little buzzard-brain in WindClan has been nothing but trouble. Hostile, defensive, letting her Clan live like rogues! Why Dapplemane chose her to lead, I have no idea. Though Dapplemane isn't living so honourably herself these days. I can only pray our warrior ancestors set them on the right path.
That old coot thinks she's the otter that caught the fish just because she survived the plague. Ha! Most cats didn't. I wish she'd remember that from time to time. But ShadowClan are oh so strong and stable... us lowly hare-chasers are surely doing something wrong to be suffering so, aren't we?
Is Harestar a shrewd, StarClan-fearing diplomat? Sure. That doesn't stop her from being a haughty foxheart.
Why did StarClan let him do this? Why must I respect him as a fellow leader? I simply don't understand, nor do I quite feel comfortable with any course of action regarding him. I wish I had an answer, but for now my faith remains blind and cautious.
She's a strong cat. There's no benefit in getting on her bad side right now. I suppose that makes it fortuitous that she is putting her faith in my appointment as Voice.
