Cardinalstar is a very beautiful, slim she-cat, even for one of AbyssClan. Her pelt is very silky smooth and often shines when light hits her pelt due to how smooth it really is. She hardly would ever take the time to groom it, though it never needed to be groomed. She has mainly a dark gray, almost black colored pelt. Actually, most cats do take it to be black, and she gets a bit touchy and explains it is a tad to light to be the black they know. However, her stomach, neck, and the lower part of her face are all a very bright orange that looks a lot like red. Even though it would be classified as orange, she says it is red, just to be a bit different.

Her eyes are a very, stunning thing as well as her pelt. Her eyes, much like her pelt, is a little different for it has a kind of ruby look to it. They are very red, but at the same time, doesn't have that bloody look that most red eyes would. They are more like a fragile glass that if they were to ever drop and hit the ground, they would shatter into a million pieces. Some say her eyes were there to make the almost red color on her pelt stand out a bit more, but also look like it belonged and her eyes glow brighter in the light. If she were ever to try to hide within the shadows, for whatever reason, they would never help her for they would pierce through the darkness like they were a mouse trying to kill a cat as the prey.

as said before, her body itself is very slim, making her very flexible and able to run quite fast. However, her hind legs are quite muscular, but underneath her thick fur, it is really hard to tell. Her pelt thins out a bit along the top of her neck near her head, but only along the red part. Actually, all the red, even under her stomach, is much thinner than the rest of her pelt. Her ears are slightly curled and her right one has a deep cut in it. There is also another scar near her nose, but those are the only two that are noticeable against her pelt though there is another scar hidden among her fur that goes along her stomach. Even though she isn't "living" anymore, she still often feels pain radiate from it.

Serious

Cardinalstar is a very serious she-cat after what had happened in her life. With the loss of her parents, sister, and well, her apprentice she became more strict and less a joker. She doesn't take to jokes well and if you try telling her one, she'll often flick her tail and leave. She finds any cat the has time to joke around is irresponsible and those kind of cats really get on her nerves.

Perfectionist

She likes everything to go nicely and smoothly. She does not fare well when something planned out isn't going as well as she wanted it to and will get a bit crazed in situations like that. Being a perfectionist really ties in with her being serious for if a cat is messing something by taking it as a joke, she'll get a bit angry. She also likes things to be neat and ship-shape, everything in order and clean.

Kind

Even though at times it doesn't seem like it, she is kind and caring, especially to those of AbyssClan and PeakClan. Even though she doesn't like BoneClan or NovaClan much, she will still act sort of kind around them, though she will be quick to anger at the same time.

Grudges

She is not the kind of cat to forget and forgive very easily. She holds a grudge for a long time and hardly anything can lift the grudge besides time. A cat can "beg" her for forgiveness and yet, she will ignore them and continue on with the grudge intact. Those she has a grudge on, should watch out to for she can be a bit cold shoulder towards them.

As a kit, she was a loner. Her life was just fine, there was nothing wrong with her and she was as happy and as carefree as any cat ever dreamed of being. She had two great parents, a mother named Robin and a father name Blue. She also had a sister named Wood. She was known as Cardinal for her almost reddish fur and beautiful reds eyes. The four of them were very joyful together, enjoying life and having so much fun. Until, that is, they were attacked by a group of vicious rogues who had been looking for fun. She and her sister were seperated from their parents after the attack, they were being chased by three of the cats while their parents were chased by the other three. Cardinal and Wood ran long and far, for many moons. It seemed like the rogues would never give up the hunt and that they were doomed. The two of them were only about 6 moons when they started to run and so they weren't very good at fighting yet. Finally, when they were 9 moons, they rogues finally gave up and left them, and Cardinal and Wood found themselves within the territory of PeakClan.

As the two of them found a nice little area within the territory they were in peace, loving the area even though it was a plain desert. They often sulked over the loss of their parents, but after a while, it the pain left them in a desire that they'd be reunited soon. For a few moons the two of them went on without any connection with PeakClan, but their luck was soon to run out. When they were 12 moons, a patrol found them and started to fight them. Wood managed to run off to safety, but they surrounded Cardinal, but she stood her ground, ready to fight to the death if she had too. One of the cats in the patrol, the leader of the Clan to be exact, say her courage burning within her eyes and he was very impressed by it. He asked her if she wished to join the Clan, and at first she was a bit hesitant, looking around for Wood, but when she noticed her sister was no longer at her side, she accepted the offer right there and then, angry that her own blood would abandon her after all they had been through.

She trained for a while while in the Clan, though she was never an actual apprentice seeing as she was warrior age. She had been named, Cardinalwing, and was glad she was able to keep part of her name while in the Clan. She became a loyal warrior of her adopted Clan and to AbyssClan, their warrior ancestors. One night at a Gathering, she thought she had recognized a warrior from their Clan, no not a warrior, a queen at the moment. She had went up to the queen to know why, and there, in easy view and scent of her, she recognized that scent of Wood. Her sister had gone off to join BoneClan! She started to feel a large hate for the Clan, and for her sister even though she should be happy Wood was at least safe, and nevertheless about the fact that she was having kits, but she wasn't! After the Gathering, she offered to go on more patrols, just wanting a shot at Wood for the pain she had caused Cardinalwing. Finally, she got her wish. One day when she was 26 moons old, BoneClan attacked her Clan and she first went for Wood, seeing her there. The warrior must have had her kits, that were apprentices now, but she didn't care about the new family she had created, Cardinalwing just want to get Wood a piece of her mind. The two sisters fought for a while, but finally Cardinalwing pinned Wood done and almost made a killing blow, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it and let Wood go, though the she-cat was terribly injured and never went back to BoneClan. Wood died from the injuries about a moon later.

When Cardinalwing started feeling guilty about the way she had acted, she started to feel a bit depressed and unwillingly to do anything anymore. She had made a lot of warriors and apprentices, even the leader respect her the moons before, but she started losing some of that respect with the moons to come, she just had no will to go on. However, no matter what she did, she knew that she couldn't stay like that and started picking up extra patrols again, hunting more often, and just overall trying to get the respect back and eventually, she had. When she was 35 moons old, she was given an apprentice and trained the apprentice hard. Cardinalwing was close to her apprentice and back then, was quite a bit more patient. When the apprentice was 8 moons old, (Cardinalwing was 37 moons) they got into their first battle together, a border fight with a group of loners. The loners ended up killing Cardinwing's apprentice and she grieved the lost for a while, but remembered not to lose herself again.

Time came and time went, her life went forward and she lived it well. She worked hard in the view of her Clan and really gained the leaders respect. When she was 50 moons about, the deputy resigned to become an elder after a long service as Clan deputy. As customary, the leader had to pick a new deputy and he chose her, Cardinalwing. She was a bit surprised, but accepted and promised the Clan she'd do again. No doubt she was a good choice for the Clan fully supported her, even with her loner blood. About three moons later, the leader died of old age and she became leader, how ever she never received her nine lives. On her way to receive them, she was attacked by the same three rogues that had chased her and Wood so many moons ago and even though these cats were old and she was younger and stronger, they managed to over power her and the medicine cat that had gone with her and eventually, killed her.

After she was killed, she was revived back in with the warrior of AbyssClan. They were upset by the turn of events and so was she. They decided that it was best that she led their Clan, to give her the chance that she never got to finish...or start. The current leader of AbyssClan was the one to suggest it, seeing as he no longer wanted the position and she eagerly accepted the request and became Cardinalstar, leader of AbyssClan, which of whom watched over the living cats of PeakClan.

Blood gave me the okay sign. ^^
