Hollowstar

Hollowstar is a large, muscular, short furred tom with brown and black splotched fur, greenish-silver eyes, and lots of scars.

Personality
Most cats would probably describe him as cold and cruel. He's ambitious and calculating, planning how to get what he wants and never losing his temper. Despite this, he is prideful of his clan and especially of his son, Mallardpaw. Hollowstar is a feared leader and skilled at his job.

History
His personality came around even as a kit; he formed rivalries easily and would often accidentally hurt other kits while play-fighting.

When he was an apprentice, he strived to be the best he could be. Those accidents during play-fighting as a kit turned into "accidents" during training where his claws "just kept slipping out." He insisted on joining the Apprentice Battle Royale when he was only 7 moons. Due to his inexperience, he failed the test. Three moons later, he became Gatorstrike after an extremely successful battle royale on his part.

At only 12 moons, he became a mentor to two apprentices at the same time. Just a couple of moons later, one of his apprentices, the daughter of the current deputy, was killed in an "accident." In truth, he had taken both of his apprentices to attempt to kill a caiman and she was slain. His other apprentice became a warrior through the apprentice battle royale. During this time, the current deputy became overcome with grief, leading to a nervous breakdown that led to his retirement. The leader chose Gatorstrike to be deputy after that.

During his deputy-ship, he became increasingly interested in the matchmaker apprentice, Snappingpaw (who was warrior age at the time). They flirted back-and-forth and eventually became romantic mates. When Snappingbeak became a full matchmaker, her first match was between her and Gatorstrike.

The leader at the time later contracted two different diseases and subsequently lost his last two remaining lives. Gatorstrike then became Gatorstar. He learned that Snappingbeak was pregnant and was overwhelmed with pride and joy. Upon the birth of his kits, Caimankit, Heronkit, and Mallardkit, he felt devoid of any love for them due to their perceived weakness. Before his kits even opened their eyes, he announced his name change from Gatorstar to Hollowstar, not bothering to tell his clan the reason. He took special interest in Mallardkit as he transformed from the runt of the litter to the strongest and that interest has yet to fade.

Trivia

 * If he had a warrior name with the prefix of Hollow-, it might be Holloweyes, Hollowchest, or Hollowheart.
 * He and Snappingbeak will likely split after their kits become warriors.
