Intro Ruststar is a sleek tom with a slim build, his short-haired flank resembling the dark copper fungus that collects on old metal pipes, hence his prefix. Also, as the leader of the great PineconeClan, Ruststar must maintain a mature and sensible mindset, a requirement for his role. He carries the weight of the entire Clan on his shoulders, alongside his second-in-command (deputy), Sageheart, even risking his life for their needs. And despite enduring significant hardships, he is still loyal to his one and only PineconeClan. Many, if not all, who know him, would describe him as charismatic and extremely intelligent, often utilizing these traits to outmaneuver enemies in battle or during a heated argument. His traits are: great teacher, trusted advisor, fantastic hunter, fantastic fighter, vigilant, and omen seeker. Ruststar has seen 58 moons rise and fall over the red forest, proud that almost 4.8 years have passed since he was a tiny red kit, snuggled up against his mother's belly and mewling for more milk. Looking back, it makes the old tom laugh. Ruststar's heart belongs to his mate, Owlfang, a moody and aloof she-cat with a pelt that closely resembles a horned owl’s, along with the tufted brows. He confidently identifies as a straight ally monoamorous tom-cat, using the pronouns he/him. He admits he has engaged in copulation with another cat before. Rustkit was born in new-leaf to Nettleheart and Firstripe, along with his littermates, Copperkit and Coniferkit. During kithood, he was popular among other kits. He had a sweet relationship with his mother and a “I look up to you.” relationship with his father. He enjoyed going to the Den of The Ancestors and talking with (or being afraid of) StarClan cats with his healer father, therefore showing signs of being an omen seeker. He didn't make any nursery friends, but luckily a loner’s kit called Penny became his best friend. Ruststar still visits her every once in a while.
