appearance >
Brilliantstar is a brilliant ginger-pelted tom. His eyes are a fierce amber shade, with hints of green and gray in them. He has a white chest and muzzle, white paws, and white-rimmed eyes. His eyes are dark ginger, almost red, the same color as his back, but they have slight hints of green in them, so nobody truly knows they're real, original color. As his fur goes nearer to his paws, the lighter his fur gets. Brilliantstar's face is a pale ginger, like his legs, but it is etched with red stripes. The ThunderClan leader's tail is a strange shade of black. It is almost blue, yet green, yet black again... This is how he got his name; his tail is hypnotic, beautiful, brilliant, and deadly at the same time. Brilliantstar's ginger pelt is short-furred and glossy, almost like a RiverClan cat's pelt. He has an orange-pinkish nose that differs from most of his Clan. The name Brilliantstar fits this cat perfectly, from nose-tip to tail-tip.

personality >
Brilliantstar is unlike the stereotypical ThunderClan cat: he is not a charismatic, attention-wanting, I-am-way-cooler-than-you type guy. Actually, he is far from it. He absolutely hates being the center of attention, so when he was made deputy it was a nightmare, in his eyes. He hates the smell of blood. It makes his skin crawl, seeing flesh tear and blood seeping out. Absolutely nasty. And although he can be quite boring at times, he's a usually lively cat, using "thank you" and "please" whenever necessary and not being rude to others (even if he is a rival with them at the moment). His voice in like honey and sugar; he can get almost anything he wants, but he chooses not to really use it. All the she-cats want him, but, personally, he doesn't really want a mate or kits. He found out the hard way how much family means to him (see history). Brilliantstar thinks that the other leaders are trying to be strong during leafbare when they say, "Prey is running well." or "My Clan is well fed." Everybody knows that they're lying. So the ThunderClan leader always says the truth, even if it could mean battle for his Clan (he has a certain reason for not lying//history).

history >
Brilliantkit was an adventurous kit. He was always bouncing around, getting under warriors' paws, and acting like a normal kit. His littermates were Firekit, named for his flame-colored pelt and bright blue eyes, and Bramblekit, a dark brown tabby tom with green eyes, a tiny copy of his mother, Duskfeather.
When the kits were four moons old, Duskfeather took them out of camp to play a "game". The three kits were excited; they had never been out of the boring camp before! She took them into an area of the territory where no one ever went. Duskfeather said that she was going to teach the three kits how to fight in a battle. Firekit and Bramblekit were eager, but Brilliantkit was wary. His mother had never wanted them to do this stuff before; why now? But Brilliantkit shoved the thought aside. Their mother loved them...right?
He was soon proved to be wrong. Right before his very eyes, Brilliantkit saw his loving, gentle, sweet mother brutally injure Firekit and Bramblekit. Firekit has long score marks along his side, and both of his ears were shredded, while Bramblekit was only noticeably alive by the faint rise and fall of his blood-soaked flank. The poor tabby kit had been raked by his mother's claws over and over, reducing his pelt to shreds. Duskfeather then turned onto her last kit, Brilliantkit. But the young fiery tabby wasn't going down without a fight. He had watched as the apprentices practiced in the training area, and knew some simple battle moves. Even though he knew them, he just ran. Ran like he never would have thought possible on his four stubby little legs. And he could hear Duskfeather's rasping breath behind him, gaining ground slowly but surely. That was when he ran into the patrol.
Brilliantkit barreled into Greenbird, Littlenut, and Shellstripe just as Duskfeather pounced on him. The three strong warriors overpowered Duskfeather, and soon Greenbird and Shellstripe brought Duskfeather back as their prisoner; Littlenut went with Brilliantkit to see what had become of Firekit and Bramblekit, who, in his mind, was his only real family left.
It had already been (in Twoleg time) about five minutes since he left his two brothers. And grief shook through his pelt as Bramblekit, his precious brother, had gone to StarClan. Firekit, however, was alive, but with brutal injures that would never fully heal.
Littlenut carried Firekit back to camp, her jaws full of his blood-soaked fur. Brilliantkit refused to let her take Bramblekit; he would take his brother himself.
So the young fiery tom dragged his dead brother to the camp, where his mother was, dead center in the clearing. Brilliantkit didn't once glance at his 'mother,' and he never spoke to her again.
Duskfeather was claimed a prisoner, and was kept over guard duty by two warriors, day and night. The Clan was shaken; what mother would do this to her kits? Duskfeather soon became more mentally ill. It turns out she was abused by her mother, too, developing when Twolegs call it, Multiple Personality Disorder. And after her imprisonment in her own camp, Duskfeather then acquired schizophrenia, and died 5 moons later.
--
Moons passed. Brilliantpaw and Firepaw had an uneventful apprenticeship, and they were now given the names of Brilliantscorch and Firehaze. Bramblekit would have been named Bramblefoot, the leader had said.
Brilliantscorch soon got his first apprentice, a young white she-cat named Frostpaw. Firehaze had gotten an apprentice named Twilightpaw, Frostpaw's sister. Frostpaw and Brilliantscorch grew close together, but they were never more than best friends. Frostpaw and Twilightpaw soon got their warrior names, also -- Frostcloud and Twilightshadow.
Soon after they got their warrior names, Brilliantscorch's old mentor, the deputy Twowhisker, had fallen ill and wouldn't recover. Jaystar, the current leader, named Brilliantscorch in his place.
And since then, Brilliantstar has vowed to serve his Clan, forever.
