PERSONALITY
STRENGTHS ► Raccoonstar is a determined fellow and will do anything for their clan. They are loyal to Windclan and are staunch in following Starclan and the warrior code. They are quite driven and will stop at nothing to serve Windclan. Raccoonstar is also quite crafty and cunning, they tend to watch and wait to see what opportunities arise they can take advantage of. They are quite a fair liar and are tactical in how they lead. Despite Raccoonstar's beliefs, they are accepting of loners and kittypets who want to join the clan as long as they can prove themselves. They are also known for accepting half-clan kits as long as they are half Windclan. They are known for adopting kits found alone or on their borders. Raccoonstar is great with kits and is patient with apprentices. Raccoonstar is known for their watchful and alert nature and often can be seen watching the borders or camp from a high vantage point. They also have the tunnels memorised and are skilled at digging and helping construct tunnels.
WEAKNESS ► Raccoonstar is stubborn and can be set in their ways. This also lends them to being supersitious. When they believe in something, they will follow through. Raccoonstar when angered can have a fiery temper and a vengeful streak. Raccoonstar while merciful towards kits will judge the parent(s) of them harshly. Occasionally, they may even take custody of the kits themselves and bar or even exile the parent for their disloyalty. Raccoonstar is also distrusting of other clans and heavily dislikes Shadowclan and Riverclan. Mostly just for bordering Windclan but they also believe that Windclan deserves more territory and the "lazy Riverclan cats" have more moor than they know what to do with. While Raccoonstar picks and chooses their battles, they are usually waiting for a new angle to pursue.

HISTORY
TRIGGER WARNINGS ► are there any we should know about?
► Raccoonstar born Raccoonkit was born to Windclan tunnelers Larkstripe and Smokemask. They were practically raised tunneling underground. Raccoonkit soon grew to be Raccoonpaw, apprenticed under another tunneler named Stonewish. Raccoonpaw soon showed they were a good hunter and a good fighter. They also showed their gift for tunneling. While Raccoonpaw was small they made up for it in pure ferocity and drive. Racconpaw from the moment they were born they were ready to fight and protect Windclan.
Racconpaw helped their clan get rid of stoats when they encroached on Windclan tunnels, earning several scars and their warrior name of Raccoonmask. Raccoonmask proved themselves a loyal Windclan warrior and tunneler. They worked tirelessly to serve Windclan and were soon given an apprentice, Sunpaw. Sunpaw was a golden she-cat who was quite curious and adventerous. Raccoonmask proved themself a patient mentor who pushed for excellence. However, it was found that Sunpaw was seeing a Riverclan apprentice of the same age before Sunpaw was to become a warrior. Raccoonmask who was hurt by this act of betrayal immediately informed the Windclan leader, Breezestar and called for Sunpaw's exile. Sunpaw was exiled and Raccoonmask worked diligently to prove that they were still loyal. Breezestar soon gave Raccoonmask another apprentice, Redpaw.
Raccoonmask while not changing their approach too much, made sure that Redpaw would be loyal to Windclan and made sure to keep a careful eye on them. Their hard work paid off and Redpaw became Redflight, a fully-fledged member of Windclan. Raccoonmask would go on to train Darkpelt, Dawnflower, and Heathermask. All three became loyal Windclan warriors.
After the previous deputy, Rainrunner retired due to injury from a dog attack, Raccoonmask was named deputy of Windclan. Raccoonmask swore to serve Windclan well and after Breezestar lost her last life, Raccoonstar became leader.
