Cougarfrost/star

Deputy of Hollowclan and eventually leader 

Daughter of Aspenstar and Larkripple. Sister to Rosebite

Cougarfrost is the eldest of Aspenstar and Larkripple’s only litter of kittens, granddaughter to the founder of the clan, Hollowstar, along side her sister Rosebite. From a young age, Cougarfrost has always been the more quiet and reserved of the duo, acting as a sort of observer to the antics that her much more fiery and energetic sibling got into. As soon as she and her sister were apprenticed, the two were immediately placed into a special class of training to lead the clan after their father, a tradition set forth by Hollowstar. 

As she and her sister steadily move on in their training, it was more apparent to their father that Cougarpaw at the time had a more level head on her shoulders as well as a more abrasive heart. Even though Rosepaw matched her sister in both skills and smarts, she was far more disruptive and impulsive and fell naturally in line with the plans that Cougarpaw mustered up. Although Cougarpaw didn’t reflect her feelings on the outside, her ego beneath her stoic demeanor grew as her father groomed her to take his roll as leader. If anything, she felt superior above her clanmates, even those many moons her senior and this allowed a disconnect she felt between her and her clanmates. She, however, always kept a bond between herself and Rosepaw, viewing her sibling as an equal rather than a subordinate. 

Both she and Rosepaw took their assessments at the same time and passed with flying colors, earning themselves the name Cougarfrost and Rosebite. It was almost immediately after being named a warrior that Aspenstar made her the new deputy, retiring the old deputy, Blazetongue, from his position. Although the rest of the clan was confused and outraged, Blazetongue was beginning to grow too old to carry on as the next leader of Hollowclan. Some theorized that this was intentionally done by Aspenstar so that he would face little backlash when Cougarfrost was old enough to replace him. 

Despite Hollowclan’s weariness towards her, Cougarfrost deemed herself worthy to her clanmates as a formidable deputy mostly thanks to the training she received as an apprentice. Even if she was intelligent, hard working and supportive on the outside, Cougarfrost’s superiority complex slowly began to swell once more and as soon as she took her father’s place to become Cougarstar.
