leader..
Sharkstar| Tom | 72 moons | @/xsourgrapesx
A massive long-furred sturdy built slate gray tom with a bobbed tail and a large scar stretching from his lower back to nearly the heel of his hindleg from a shark attack. He has pale green eyes.
Sharkstar's most notable personality trait is his intelligence and rational nature, never one to make a quick hasty decision, rather thinking things through properly before coming to a conclusion. He is a thoughtful leader, and tries to be as open-minded as his predecessor, Shellstar, though he can often be very stubborn on certain views, especially if it involves Starclan. Sharkstar is
extremely devoted to Starclan, and tends to take personal offense to cats that don't display much devotion.
Born to Minnowstream and Piketooth, Slatekit was their only surviving kit
out of the three they had. Being of the same lineage of Bright Stream, and since his father was the deputy at the time, Sharkstar was mentored by the leader, Shellstar. Early on, he had shown an exceptional ability to deep sea dive, and became an extremely popular apprentice, and later on warrior. He received his warrior name
as Slatepool in honor of his swimming and diving ability. A couple moons after he became a warrior,he and his father, along with two other cats were sent to find a couple of missing warriors that disappeared around the high cliffs. The expedition met an early end when Piketooth fell off of the side of the cliff.
Slatepool was overcome by grief, and spent countless nights diving in the ocean to quell his restless mind. On one particularly cloudy night, he had nearly a fatal run in with a shark, barely escaping with a deep cut to the bone from his lower back to heel of leg. He spent moons in the medicine cat den, his fate of whether not he could ever return to his warrior duties hanging in the balance. Fortunately, Slatepool made a full recovery where he then received the newly christened name of Sharkscar in remembrance of his narrow escape from the shark that nearly cut his life short. Shortly after returning to his warrior duties, he was named deputy with the death of Eelfur.

Tidepool | She-cat | 47 moons |
x | @/Nananami
Tidepool is a rather tall she-cat and, though long limbed and very purposeful in her movements, not exactly of the dainty sort. She has powerfully muscled shoulders and large paws that excel at propelling her through water with ease as well as visible scars that betray her experience as a hardened warrior. The most notable of these scars parts a ragged path down the right side of her neck and jaw, including a sizable chunk out of her ear, plus a trio of claw tracks slashed across her left shoulder. Other, smaller scrapes can be found scattered over her body, though most of these are hidden by the thick texture of her pelt. Said pelt is splotched in a roughly equal amount of white and slate gray hues and her eyes are a bright, sea glass green that sit large among her face.
Tidepool is a very kind hearted and benevolent she-cat who, above all, simply wants to protect and provide for those close to her in any way she can. Most often, she has a very calm demeanor that makes her easy to get along with but, additionally, holds a strong feeling of dedication to her duties and dedication to the ways of the Code. She doesn't take well to suggestions that the rules be bent-- especially not broken --and can be quite strict about upholding the order of things, transforming the she-cat in a a far harsher, no nonsense enforcer.
Tidepool's early life wasn't anything too special-- born and raised in SeaClan with a happy, healthy kithood and apprenticeship that led her to becoming a young warrior without issue. She was always happy to serve her Clan in whatever way possible, making her quite the enthusiastic cat, and it was during the first few moons of her warriorhood that she began to befriend a cat named Sandtail. He was the much more laid back and free spirited of the two, yet their personalities meshed well and they grew closer and closer over many moons of hunting, patrolling, and exploring together. Eventually, though after nearly every other cat and the Clan saw it coming, they became mates. It took another season or so for Tidepool to become comfortable with the idea of having kits, however, so it wasn't until her 30s that the she-cat became pregnant and then gave birth to her two kits-- Mousekit and Minnowkit. Life seemed to be perfect and serene, until trouble surfaced beneath that stillness.
A small portion of the Clan had been unhappy with the current leader of SeaClan ever since they'd taken power and, over time, their numbers had grown to encompass nearly a third of the group's numbers-- Sandtail being one of them. They mostly grumped and muttered about the leader's decisions, at first, but as more cats turned over so did their resistance become more brazen. Tidepool had never expected her mate to be interested in undertaking something like a revolt due to his lackadaisical attitude, yet he shocked her beyond belief when, one night, he rose up alongside the most brazen of the rebelling cats and they attempted to strip the leader of all their remaining lives in a coup. A furious battle broke out in the middle of SeaClan's camp, injuring many and taking some of those lives, but in the end the leader lived and the rebels were laid low. Some cats called for blood, for execution of those who dared lay a claw on their Clanmates, though in the end Sandtail and his accomplices were simply banished; told never to return to SeaClan land if they wished to keep their lives. Loyal to her Clan, Tidepool turned her back on Sandtail and refused to even say goodbye.
