bramblestar is an average sized tom—cat. his fur is a rustic orange colouring, flecked with darker tabby stripes across his body. his body is welted with scars and his ears are slightly tattered and torn: a visible sign that he's tackled a number of things that life had thrown his way ,

bramblestar was described as a beacon of warmth and compassion within his clan, and was known for his open—hearted and loving nature. despite the limited knowledge on him, his reputation precedes him as a leader who lead with kindness and a lot of understanding.

he had a genuine love for his clan and had a deep—seated desire to see them thrive. even now, as a cat in starclan, he wishes the best for the survivors of the sickness that wiped out the majority of his clan.

one of bramblestar's most defining traits was his unwavering openness to the opinions and concerns of others, where he created a safe and welcoming environment where every cat felt valued and heard, no matter their rank or status.

kithood for bramblekit was considerably normal. he was born into a small litter, himself and a sibling who sadly failed to thrive: and died hours after birth. his mother and father helicoptered over him, as they did not want to loose him — so he was limited with what he could or couldn't do, even during his time as an apprentice.

thankfully, his mentor was lenient with his parents and told them that it was crucial for his development to be able to express himself, and be able to freely go out and partake in patrols and training.

bramblepaw was held back a moon, but when the time came for him to become a warrior, he felt as if he was ready for it. he was pleased to be able to have a sense of freedom finally, and not be confined to a den, or a mentor, or his parents nagging comments.

brambleadder climbed the ranks. he dug his paws in and worked hard, and took on four apprentices over the moons of serving thornclan. he was deputised after the death of the previous deputy — and he was a nervous wreck about such a role, but reassurance from his retired mentor gave him the boost that he desperately needed.

brambleadder became bramblestar when the leader at the time stepped down to spend time with their family, not wanting their relationships and role as a leader to clash, knowing that they would've be able to concentrate and rule a clan at the same time.

this was a big step up for brambleadder, and was he ready? he didn't think so, but everyone else was confident that he would succeeded with his role as a leader for the clan. life as a leader was something he didn't expect, but it was one he enjoyed.

a sickness swamped thornclan and no matter what they did as a clan, they had no means of controlling it or stopping it. bramblestar begged starclan for any form of help or answers but they ignored his cries, and so, he sought help from whisperclan at one of their gatherings, which they were late to.

some of the more vulnerable clan members, a queen, her kits, the elders and their only apprentices, went to whisperclan temporarily, while thornclan tired to combat this plague that killed off the clan slowly.

unfortunately, bramblestar's lives were wiped from the sickness. he had to watch his clan deplete and deteriorate further with every passing day, while he got the chance to resurrect after his passing. he felt so helpless, and ordered for those who weren't sick to quarantine themselves away from those who had died, or were dying, and pleaded for them to seek out further help from whisperclan — as yet another gathering was coming up.

bramblestar knew he wouldn't be able to attend it. but knew that the survivors of the sickness would do as he asked, and would get a chance at a new life.

━ he lost two lives normally: one was from when he fell out a tree while hunting and into a river, only to drown. another life he lost was during a patrol when he jumped in the way of an angry badger who's nest his patrol disturbed ,

━ the rest of his seven lives were all gradually lost over the course of the clans' sickness. while everyone died, he would pass and return only to watch all of his peers suffer greatly with the pain of whatever had riddled their bodies ,

━ although he resides in starclan, he hates them and the fact that they didn't help when he asked for it ,

━ he's glad that whisperclan was generous enough to take in the remaining survivors of his clan ,
