This Is Who I Am

by StormyNights11

A simple one-shot based around a character I sometimes roleplay online. Sweetstar learns that she doesn't need to be loved by a tom to have a successful life as a warrior. (Might be adapted into a story. It depends on how this does.)

This Is Who I Am

AN: This was based on an online roleplay with some friends and I thought about my character. My brain said, 'Ayyy, make something, Storm.' and I was like, 'kay. I am a tad proud of this one-shot, but I won't be upset if there are any flames. They are expected on the internet. Anyways, enjoy!

Sacrifice was a word I was fond of. My lives are depleting with every battle due to my selfless actions. Everything fell into place around me when the tom said he wasn't interested. Of course he wasn't. Why did I even try? I had to have a motive.

Of course, I was attracted physically and romantically. He just didn't feel the same. I was fond of the small, young tom, though. I became deputy, he an apprentice. All the toms in my life seemed to be attracted to others. Of course, I was quite pretty, but my personality lacked the perfection of my body.

My temper can get out of control, and I lack patience. But at least I'm not 'perfect' like the other she-cats. They don't seem real to me. They just don't have attributes that make them… them.

Although I recently became leader, I've already lost three lives. Not even six moons ago, I was a simple deputy, nothing more. Time seems to move faster when you're leader. Of course, everyone basically crouches down and licks your paws, but I don't like it. Not one bit.

Sure, I have problems. Even as a leader. But that doesn't stop me from trying. This is what makes me… me. I am Sweetstar, leader of ShadowClan, the cats of the dark and night.
