Character Name / Journal: Bluestar / dousedflame Canon: Warrior Cats (specifically Into the Wild).
Character Memory/Fear/Pain: (big warning for cat death) 1. Bluestar's first battle was two days after she began training for combat. She was six months old. Her Clan's leader (Pinestar) led an attack on an enemy camp, and her mother (Moonflower) was killed in front of her. The battle was pointless, unlawful and cowardly. Bluestar can still remember the smell of rosemary used during the funeral, robbing her of the scent of her mother. 2. Bluestar's sister (Snowfur) was hit by a car - she doesn't know what a car is, exactly, so she conceptualizes it as a giant monster with putrid breath. Her sister's mate (Thistleclaw) blamed her for letting it happen, and she was too stunned to fight it. Sometimes she still feels like her nephew (Whitestorm) must also blame her for it. (He doesn't.) 3. Bluestar had kittens with a cat from another Clan (Oakheart). She snuck her kittens to their father in the dead of night, to be raised by a new mother instead, and one of them died in the process. She's watched her two living children (Mistyfoot and Stonefur) grow up from afar, but barely knows anything about them. 4. There are positive memories too - training as Sunstar's apprentice, training her own apprentices and helping raise Whitestorm after his mother's death. The few times she managed to meet with Oakheart, and all the bubbly feelings that came with it. Warm days in ThunderClan territory, lazing around on the Sunningrocks with her Clanmates. There's a strong pride, a motherly love, that she feels toward everyone in her Clan. It's tainted by the fact that she can't even begin to fathom how she would get back to them. She's so used to sacrificing herself for them, that it feels as though everything will fall apart without her there.
How can Cole help: Bluestar has developed a bit of a savior complex, a fear that everything will fall apart if she isn't constantly burning the candle at both ends to protect her Clan. It would help to be reminded that ThunderClan survived before she was born and it will survive now that she's gone. She trusts Redtail to take over, right? It would also help to be told that StarClan (her warrior ancestors / pantheon) is still watching her, even in Trench - might not be true, but it's a comforting notion.
If nothing else, Bluestar loves teaching. Asking questions about her forest territory and the Clans would be a wonderful way to keep her mind off of things.
