Minkstar has always been a cat that is perceived as something of a grump — and she is, to a degree. Her blunt, more often than not sarcastic outward expression gets her easily labeled as such. She, at her core, however, is a loyal cat who would lay down her life for any one of her clanmates. Her loyalty is unrivaled and unquestioned. [break][break]

Minkstar is a cat who holds an internal curiosity, despite her reserved nature. She wants to know how to enjoy life, although she doesn’t always seem to know how to do that, throwing herself into her duties until she finds herself feeling burnt out. It’s something she’s working on, trying to find the balance between being the leader of Shoreclan, and simply being a cat. [break][break]

Minknose, born in Shoreclan to Hazeltail and an unknown father, has always been a bit… rough and tumble. Always acting as if she has something to prove. And, perhaps in her mind, she does. Sarcastic and blunt in the same breath, Minknose has never been viewed as the most ‘joyful’ of cats, but she does have an undying level of loyalty going for her. As well as her ambitions to provide for and take care of her clanmates. It’s no secret that she would lay down her life for any single one of them at any point in time, and perhaps that’s why they tolerate her somewhat grumpy disposition. Minknose is a feline who takes her duties seriously, and to see her let loose and have fun is something rare — although not completely unheard of. In there, somewhere, is a she-cat who loves life, and who still, ultimately has the curiosity of a newborn kit in a large world. Despite her apparent grumpiness, she is kind and loving towards her clanmates and makes a point to know each of them as individuals. [break][break]

A short, stocky cat, with a brown tabby pelt, Minkstar isn’t a particularly impressive-looking cat, although she looks like she could take a smack and give a nasty one right back — which she could. She’s never been noted as the prettiest cat in the clan and has never drawn much attention with her appearance. The most striking thing about her appearance is the stark, sharp amber of her eyes, which comes through as an almost orange hue in the light. Her eyes are sharp and perceptive, but not particularly expressive. It’s hard to tell by her outward appearance what she might be thinking. [break][break]

Kithood was somewhat normal, although her mother was never particularly loving. Her mother was detached and seemed uninterested in caring for Mink-kit. Mink-kit was cared for largely by another queen in the den, and although her basic needs were met, she was never really given much excessive love. [break][break]

Apprenticeship was a little better; Minkpaw had a caring mentor, but he was demanding and she struggled with meeting up to his demands. She began to feel like she constantly had something to prove. [break][break]

Her time as a warrior was uneventful. Minknose spent most of her time simply trying to prove to herself that she was worthy of the trust that her clanmates put in her. She proved herself as a formidable warrior, and more so, proved her loyalty to Shoreclan time and time again. [break][break]

As a deputy, Minknose was strict and expected a lot of the warriors of the clan. She, however, was not afraid to get into the mix of things and go on patrols herself. She never put work on someone that she herself was not willing to take on. [break][break]

As a leader, Minkstar has proven herself as fair and thoughtful, with the best interest of Shoreclan at her heart. As of now, she still has all nine of her lives. [break][break]
