Overall: Silverstar is a skinny and agile she-cat, making flight easy for herself. Her fur varies in shades of lighter gray, but her overall appearance depends on the scenic light.

Other: Silverstar is a somewhat-outgoing she-cat who takes pride in her Clan and her Clanmates. She is brave and never has a second thought about something that scares her. She doesn't take first impressions lightly, though, so it takes a lot for her to change the way she feels towards another cat.
Silverstar is quite the daring she-cat, often taking risks for herself and her Clan without a second thought. Thankfully, none of her bold decisions have harmed her Clan quite yet. However, her somewhat-mischievous personality has hurt her numerous times, physically and emotionally. She isn't afraid to speak out for what she believes in, but she sometimes says something at the wrong time, therefore starting an unneeded argument. This has caused some tension between some senior warriors, and not everybody in CliffClan loves her to death, but she is a noble cat and an all-around decent leader.
Silverstar often finds it hard to make crucial decisions for the Clan and turns to her Deputy for advice. Silverstar isn't always very confident in her choices, and she fears that if her Clan does not approve of her choice, they will act against her and destroy CliffClan. She often worries if other cats like her or not, and she also fears that if she makes a bad decision, it's her fault and she will be punished by StarClan.
HISTORY
Family: Blacktail, father - Swallownose, mother - Stormcloud, brother - Snowpelt, brother - Heatherwhisker, sister -
History: As a young kit, Silverkit endured a traumatizing experience during the hawk and eagle attack; she was almost snatched by a hawk's talons, but a group of fierce warriors tackled the hawk and killed it before it could fly away. Silverkit suffered minor injuries and returned to playing with her littermates the following day.
As an apprentice, Silverpaw always had the will to learn. It was quite obvious that she would make an excellent flier because of her body structure. When her fellow apprentices were still learning to master their skills at 14 moons, Silverpaw had mastered a backwards loop, a trick that she always used to impress her friends and later incorporated into battling.
As a young warrior, Silverfur continued to practice her flying skills, as well as touching up basic hunting and battle skills. She was often scolded for flying when she could be serving her Clan, but it was her favourite lone activity and she simply couldn't help herself.
When she was a middle-aged warrior, Silverfur met Reedsplash, a handsome WaveClan warrior whom she fell in love with. They had planned to have kits, and Silverfur would take them to CliffClan. However, on the night that they were to meet, Reedsplash was mauled by a fox on his way to Silverfur. It took her a long while to get over the death of the tom that would have been her mate, and though she never told any of her Clanmates, she has never fallen in love with any other tom so deeply.
Eventually, in her senior warrior years, Silverfur learned to save her energy for hunting, but she started to incorporate flying into it to make it a more leisurable and enjoyable task. She also proved her loyalty to CliffClan by fighting for them and protecting them. She displayed brave qualities and was notable by any outlying Clan cat.
Silverfur became the Clan's Deputy when she was 33 moons old. She was quite shocked when this happened; she hadn't thought that she'd done anything special, but Hawkstar insisted that StarClan had chosen her. They had honoured her for using her blessings wisely, and she would be rewarded for doing so. He also reminded her that she was a loyal CliffClan member and that she displayed wonderful leadership qualities. Her bold personality and wide approach to conflicts earned her the position of Deputy. Hawkstar had been the Clan's leader for many, many moons, though - Silverfur took the place of Brightfoot, the Clan's deceased Deputy, who had died from blackcough - and he lost his last life 15 moons later.
Now, Silverstar has been successfully leading her Clan for seven moons. She greatly encourages the mastery of flying, as was StarClan's wish, and she continues to serve her Clan with her excelled skills in flying. She isn't the best at hunting on land, though, and has not mastered fish-catching.
RP SAMPLE
A sly, eerie figure slowly approached the cliff edge, her underbelly brushing along the rocky surface as she went along her way. A pair of shadowy-gray wings flexed upon her back, revealing a wingspan twice the length of her tail. Upon further inspection, the figure was revealed to be a cat - a gray cat. Her pelt consisted of varying shades of light gray, and darker gray stripes coated her fur evenly. Her nose and emerald-green eyes were complimented with brown-gray furs around the edges. Known as Silverstar to her Clanmates, she was quite tall and skinny for a she-cat; she was known for her skills in flying and agility, not for being a powerful CliffClan warrior.
She stood on her toes and opened her jaws to taste the cool air. As she detected the scent of another bird, a complimenting, "Caaw!" alerted her of another bird's presence. She whipped around and looked up, only to meet eyes with none other than a hawk.
"Nyaaah!" Silverstar mewled, surprised by the sudden attack. She narrowed her eyes and kept them fixed on the hawk, watching its every movement with a deadly glare.
The hawk swooped, and Silverstar tightened her muscles. She prepared for flight and leaped backwards and to the right. She timed the expansion of her wings accordingly, and she swerved away from the cliff. The hawk flapped its wings and stumbled, unable to land properly. Silverstar used the moment of the hawk's confusion to her advantage. She leaped straight for the hawk's neck, using a minuscule flap of her wings to give her precision. The hawk failed to escape quick enough, and it began to flail its talons and flap its wings madly. She closed her jaws around the hawk's neck and bit down with such powerful force that the hawk's neck instantly snapped. The shuddering sound echoed throughout the clifftop and sent a chill down Silverstar's spine. She spit out a few stray down feathers that had entered her mouth during the incident, then looked down at the dead hawk with question. She gently placed her left forepaw on top of its body and wondered if it would be suitable prey for her Clan. She shrugged, then narrowed her eyes contently and picked the hawk up by its right wing. Its limp body hanging from her jaws, she padded off to the CliffClan camp with her tail held high, to share her brilliant catch.
if she was surprised and felt like she did not deserve it, but it would be nice if Hawkstar had some reasons other than "StarClan said so." I understand that they approved of her love and mastery of flying, but flying well isn't necessarily a trait that determines a leader-worthy cat, you know? Also, add the name of the previous deputy (you make it up ^.^) and how he/she died.
