Webstar, the tabby-grey tom, when he was younger shared is brothers ideals and enthusiasm. However, he realized that it wasn’t how he believed Shadow Clan should be. A source of Fear. He believed his clan could be powerful, not feared but respected for their strength. He kept his opinion silent with Wetpelt but, He was noticed by his predicessor, Clawstar and his Deputy, Raventail. Clawstar wished to test him to see if he would be a quality Deputy for Raventail. A discussion hey both had regularly. Webwhisker was given additional duties, and even granted opportunities to council his leaders and medicine-cats with advice. He was able to speak his mind and his calm, but confident demeanor placed him well int he running.

With Clawstar’s final death, Ravenstar(tail) became the new Leader. Wetpelt was happy but, the two slowly grew apart as Webwhisker realized that his brother’s zealot aggression, to traditional Shadow Clan ideals, was problematic and a liability. This came to a head when Wetpelt attacked a travel kitty pet with kits. Killing the kits by accident as they fled from him (original idea they ran onto the Thunder-path). Ravenstar(tail), gave Webwhisker his final test and allowed him to determine Wetpelt’s punishment. As Ravenstar believed that in order for the clan to redefine himself, they must push this future forward without clouded judgement from relationships (familial, romantic, platonic). Webwhisker, while he couldn’t kill or banish his brother, he offered to force Wetpelt to retire. Ravenstar agreed understanding that he was still soft for his brother. However, with Ravenstar’s death, Webwhisker became the leader and with his accordance of nine lives (and counseling by Clawstar and Ravenstar, two of his grantors) he realized the importance of his choices and belief and ideals.
