"No, no, no! Food no touch sleeping place. No. Dirty!"

-- Lichenstar to Vixentail on NightClan Roleplay, p.1

Physical Description
Lichenstar is broad-shouldered tom with a tawny ginger pelt mottled with black. His face is scarred and angular, with dark splotches, a silver-tinged muzzle, and acidic green eyes. Both ears are torn and ragged.

Age: 103 moons (8.5 years)

Status: Leader of NightClan

History & Personality
Lichenstar is gruff and caustic, yet completely devoted to his Clan. He is methodical in his thinking- a sorter. Lichenstar separates and organizes every aspect of his life; fresh-kill, possessions, cats, even words. Because of this, sarcasm, riddles, and humor are entirely lost on him, because he divides up cats' words and examines them one by one. He does not understand cats on a personal level, but be can predict their actions and assess their assets and their shortcomings. His focus on details can sometimes make it impossible for him to see the "big idea" in a situation, and in war he thinks more of the outcome of each battle or maneuver than of the entire engagement.

Lichenstar's neat freak tendencies verge sometimes on insanity, and in recent moons his health has failed him and he's grown utterly senile.

When Blackstar, the previous leader of NightClan, was killed in battle along with his deputy, Lichenstar (then a young warrior named Lichentail) successfully rallied the leaderless Clan and headed them in a strategic charge for victory. After the Tribe was driven back, NightClan elected him as their new leader. Shortly therafter, Swanpool, the medicine cat, dreamed of lichen pouring out of the tunnel mouths and growing to cover the Stonemoors. She took it as a sign that StarClan approved of Lichentail's position, and he was officially named leader.
