ternstar & 26 moons & female & she/her & leader of shadowclan

★★★★★★★★★
She pays little heed to the sleepy stillness of the marshland air, ever stifling in it's dampness no matter the season. Paws tread softly, webbed toes spread so as to keep her balance and silence despite her size, ears keen and jaws parted for any hint of life but their own. And despite her search, she is not alone - not that she believes herself in need of protection, or even help, but two sets of paws are always better then one, when one never knows what dangers may linger. " Find anything? " she calls softly, careful not to raise her voice too loud - starclan knows the last thing they need is for their foolish actions to be the reason the kits and queens go hungry for another day.
No - she won't let that happen, not because of her.
Nose presses to damp earth, still frost bitten, despite the breif thaw - searching the undergrowth ofo near anything. She is not a picky eater - if nothing else, perhaps she will find bugs to fill her own belly, to give her energy to continue on. But it's not bugs she finds within the scattered undergrowth, but instead a faint scent of reptile - familiar and yet not, her brow furrowing in confusion. Paws prod carefully as she pushes through a thicket, and jaws open to speak when blue eyes suddenly meet slitted-amber with a panicked hiss. " Fox-dung! "
Theres barely time to react, startled as she is by the snakes presence upon the sun-lit rock - out to bask, or perhaps to mate, the sluggish creature doesn't seem to appreciate its rude awakening. Stomach growls eagerly, at the thought of snake-flesh to fill their bellies, jaws eager to wrap around its head - but it is no harmless garden snake or garter that flashes fangs at her, but an adder. Resignation burns across her pale face at the inevitable as it rears back - only feeling a moment of silent relief that at least she has lives to spare.

. ݁₊ ⊹ Ternstar is a massive blue-silver tabby she-cat with an all white head and striking vibrant blue eyes. She is far from the kindest of cats, often cold and aloof - with a notable soft-spot for kits, and a rather dark streak for mischief. She is supposedly mates with Wormwatcher, and is parent to Rainbowpaw, Cornflowerpaw, and Ivorypaw. She is gifted in battle, and still maintains all nine of her star-given lives.
