Lionstar is an old cat with seasons of knowledge tucked under his belt. He has seen the best and the worst of RiverClan and will stick around to see even more in his five more chances at life. He has excellent physical strength and stamina from training at a young age but the years have caught up to him, making his speed drop dramatically due to old bones and stiffening joints. His mental abilities are still in top condition but will start to go as well as he gets even older.
Appearance:
Lionstar is a large tom with a beautiful tabby pelt. The mix of honey golden and white are a huge contrast against his brother's dark brown and black pelt, making them look like complete opposites. The white is most prominent on his face, chest, belly and under his tail while darker golden stripes are just able to make out on the light pale blonde covering the rest of him. His fur is also very long and soft, making it easy to tangle and get stuck on various sticks, branches and leaves. If he swam it would also drag him down faster from the sheer weight of that much wet fur.
Lionstar's eyes match his fur almost flawlessly, being a pale golden yellow in colour. Wisdom can be seen easily in them as well as tiredness from the many seasons he's been alive. Behind the layer of kindness and knowledge though is a fiery passion for battle and courage to be leading his Clan into the midst of battle. He no longer engages in battles though he will be ready for anytime it occurs. From the fights he used to be in though the tabby has received many of scars. If you manage to see under his thick coat of fur you will find pink skin criss-crossed with scars. Each scar reminds him of the hard times his Clan has gone through for peace but also brings hope that if it happens again he and his Clanmates will persevere.
Born from pure RiverClan blood, Lionstar has level three adaptations like his older brother. A large ribcage makes up the barrel chest of Lionstar, his lungs much larger than non-RiverClanners so he can keep his breath longer. Rudimentary gills are found behind his jawline, slightly hidden by his fur. Patches of shimmery scales are also lost in the forest of gold but will shine brightly if the sun hits them at the right angle. Large webbed paws help him sink less in the marshy land of RiverClan territory and would help him swim if he could. If you look hard enough you can even find very small fins situated on his back, right on his shoulder blades.
Severity and Breakdown of Adaptations:
Level Three
- Gills
- Scales
- Small fins
- Webbed paws

Personality:
Lionstar is an older cat who can at times be stuck in the past and rely on old ways. As a result, even though he is a rather calm and generous cat, he has some awful outer-Clan hostilities. He has adapted this type of thinking from his older brother, who learned it from his old mentor. His strict following of StarClan and the Warrior Code also can be traced back to Tigerfang, who impacted his brother's life more than he ever knew he would.
Even as a young kit Lionstar seemed far too old for his time. He acted just like the Elders, wise and cheerful with always a story to tell. As he got older he got worse and worse until no one could tell the difference between him and the oldest cat in the Clan, White-Eyes. Even now he acts far too old for his age and has become almost like the grandfather for the entire Clan. Just the way he speaks is comforting and wise but can get you just as excited as him over old battle tales like a war veteran. He is never snappish towards his fellow Clanmates, only stern at times.
However, like that one racist grandpa you have, Lionstar doesn't take kindly to strangers. He finds them all nothing but trouble and if one is to become friendly towards them they are just as bad. He has exiled more than one she-cat who birthed non-RiverClan kits and is not afraid to do it again. Though he isn't as hostile towards the other Clans and doesn't want to fight, he doesn't want anything to do with them either and refuses to allow any in his Clan. He believes it keeps pure RiverClan blood running through his cats and will help keep them stronger longer.
One thing that is unique to Lionstar compared to the rest of his Clan is his fear of water. His inability to ever learn how to swim has impacted his life negatively, from his difficulty maneuvering around his Clan to losing thee out of four lost lives due to drowning. It frustrates him to leave the camp and as a result he has become a bit of a hermit, only leaving when he absolutely needs to. If anything he'll call Tigerfang over to help who will go the nine yards just to make him happy. Lionstar loves his brother to death and would do anything to help him as well, he looks up to his older brother like an idol. He does sometimes blindly follow his brother due to this but as he gets older he realizes he has to think for himself and his brother is not perfect.
