There was something hostile about her.
Perhaps it was the way she moved, sashaying on light paws, shoving past all that stood in her path. Maybe it was her narrowed eyes, the harshness of each breath she drew, her hard stare or gravelly voice. A disastrous aura glittered around her pelt, and chaos followed in her wake.
Anyone who caught but a mere glimpse of her would not notice this. They would not feel her fury or see the evil that lingered around her. For, at a glance, she was like an angel: a satin pelt of milky-gray, eyes as blue and beautiful as the most valuable of sapphires, and silver chains adorned with glowing gold stars.
She was beautiful. She was a monster.
For moons, she had sought the place in which the two traits were connected; she'd searched for the world where monsters could be beautiful, where those drawn to beauty were monsters at heart. And it seemed, after many hard moons, days of sickness and starvation, she had reached her destination.
Her light-grey pads rested calmly upon the soil, the scent of BloodClan surrounding her paws like an eerie mist. This was it. Every moment had led up to the ones that would soon follow, every beat of her heart, every indrawn breath and slow exhale.
This was when she would prove to the world who she was, when she would be acknowledged. So she waited, front paws on BloodClan soil, heart whispering quietly with silent excitement...ready to prove herself, to live a new life. Ready to be a star.

The feline pursed her lips slightly at the reply of this new feline, and the tip of her feather-like tail twitched. However, she continued to stand still and silently, her rude response dissolving on her tongue. After many long moments has passed, she tilted her head slightly, studying Barb with cavernous, sapphire-hued orbs.
She was not fooled by the BloodClanner’s appearance, not for a split second. For she had learned not to judge by looks long ago, from staring at her own reflection in a pool of crystal-clear water. She had fooled herself into believing she was a kind, beautiful girl, and the hurt that came when she was proven wrong was almost more than she had been able to bear.
When the fourth minute had passed, ticking slowly by on an endless clock, the feline began to speak. While her words were bitter, her meow was light and soft, and it possessed a bell-like quality. Had the words she spoke not been so cruel, her voice might have been interpreted as one that a mother would use to soothe her kits. This was not so. “I am a cat. I am not a cupcake.” She meowed, her eyes narrowed slightly at Barb. “My name is Stardust, and I'm here to join your ranks.”

As the merchant spoke of his goods, Stardust had silently approached, melting into the scene quietly and carefully, so as to not make a show of her approach. Her sapphire eyes glistened as Umbrae spoke, and she tilted her ears forward to listen to his meows. During the other’s speaking, the milky-gray tabby reached a paw into the basket of jewelry and withdrew a simple chain. As soon as the conversation broke, she opened her maw to speak, the star charm on the chain around her neck tingling. “Say, Umbrae,” she meowed, purring lightly as she twisted the chain around a paw. “What would be an appropriate price for this?” She was not attached to the idea of having the chain, not really; however, it would be fun to bargain, and it was a pretty object to bargain over.

In no way had Stardust meant to hurt Barbara by her response; however, she made no effort to take back her words or heal any wound she had created. If the leader of BloodClan could not keep her cool over a little newcomer's words, the she-cat figured, then it was clearly not her problem. She dismissed the topic with a flick of her tail, and let her attention wander elsewhere.
The first thing the milky-furred tabby laid her eyes on was the crimson-eyed direhound, scanning his pelt carefully. As her look skimmed up his face, the feline found herself gazing into his scarlet optics, and her cheeks took on a light flush. "Actually, I'm me, thank you very much," she purred, her voice taking on a teasing quality. However, some truth lingered, and she was not making a friendly joke. Moreover, she was making fun of Yuu's name, and she made no effort to hide it. "Hey, I appreciate the offer, but I'm sure I'll be fine." Accepting a tour would allow her clanmates to give her treatment she did not want, hence her refusal.
"Actually..." Stardust began to speak, having transferred her attention from Yuu to Hypokrisis, her sapphire orbs glued to his pelt. "My name is Stardust. First someone fails to identify my species, then someone claims to be me, and now someone can't state my correct name even when it was clearly said before." She gritted her teeth, grinning mischievously. "Now, enough with welcomes. Is there initiation here, or something? It can't be as simple as waltzing on in, can it?"
-
"A task," Starsust requested, padding slowly towards Koday. Although the tabby had been in BloodClan for only a short amount of time, she was ready for a challenge, ready for something she could do to prove her worth to her clanmates. "Something interesting, if you will. I have no interest in catching mice or hosting parties."
// Could I have an OOC task as well, please? ^^

Stardust, for one, was surprised by the BloodClanner's reaction to this newcomer, who claimed to also be a part of BlizzardClan. Why didn't they chase her away? Why didn't they question her? Didn't spies ever come here? She'd expected them to deny a duel alliance, for how could one' loyalty lay in BloodClan when their half home was somewhere else?
She began to doubt whether this place was where her destiny lay. At a glance, they seemed fierce, but when she dove in deeper, some of them seemed like they had a sweet side. Stardust herself had nothing of the sort; she was all anger, always bloodthirsty. Perhaps she found the wrong clan, or the right clan with the wrong members.
The milky-gray tabby didn't speak a word to Immy. If her clanmates were going to let just anyone march on into the territory and call themselves a BloodClan member, then it wasn't her problem. Instead, she crouched by a nearby bush of creosote, watching the scene with carefully-focused orbs.
//IC opinions, of course! Welcome!

A raid? On SunClan? Now, this was an activity that Stardust would willingly participate in. The moment she heard Barbra's announcement, the tabby gave herself a quick licking before rushing off with the rest of the raid patrol. Her heart beat furiously, her claws itched for blood, and her eyes glittered with excitement. This was going to be fun!
-
Not even a second after the others entered the area did Stardust show, her fur ruffling in the light breeze. Her milky-gray pelt was freshly groomed, and her eyes shone with determination. Because only the leader of the SunClanners had arrived, the BloodClanner decided to make her leader's target scared, or at least attempt to. "Hey you!" she meowed at Suga, gazing up at her with fierce eyes. "You're not the only one with stars." This was true, for around her neck and legs, the warrior had chains adored with golden, glowing stars. She herself wasn't exactly sure what magic they possessed, but she had no doubt they could deal damage. "If I were you, I'd come down here to fight with your claws, or I'll fly up there and get'cha." She couldn't actually fly, not yet, but no one was going to point that out.

Stardust, unlike some of the other BloodClanners, didn't care whatsoever about the contents of Xylia's gift basket. Instead, it had been the scent of another group's member that had lured her to where her clanmates gathered at the border. The member still had difficulty understanding the ally system; all of her life, she'd only had enemies, and when she joined the cruelest place yet, she was expected to interact with other clans in a friendly manner. Quite confusing.
"Well, thanks Xylia," the feline put forward as she neared the group. A faked purr rumbled from her throat, and she suppressed the hiss rising in her chest. Was this person bringing them gifts? What if they were actually explosives or poisons in disguise? If you want to fit in, you're gonna have to learn to trust, the BloodClanner thought to herself as her insides twisted. This girl is your new friend. With this ringing through her mind, the milky-gray tabby sat in the sand, resting her tail on her paws.

Stardust had been having a lazy day, lounging around camp, snapping at slaves and grooming. It was Barbra's call that caused her to stir, announcing the upcoming meeting. Of course, the BloodClanner would have to attend, even though it interrupted her beauty sleep. Thus, moments later, she found herself sitting in the gathering crowd, her feathery tail draped over her paws as she listened to the Queen's speaking.
Although she pretended to listen, her sapphire orbs trained on the leader and her ears angled towards the important matters being announced, she was half-zoning until the mention of a blind dating event. She might just check that out, despite her disliking for BloodClan's allied groups. This meeting was getting interesting, and she began to listen intently, awaiting Barbra's next words.
// this is so rushed i'm sorry

Trackin' in case something opens up. ^^

This is my bab Stardust. ^^
I've been thinking about a duel alliance with her, maybe one that isn't allowed, and I decided StormClan would be a good choice. For motivation, I'd like if one of the members would be related to her/friends/maybe even in a love relationship, one-sided or mutual.
While her primary clan would be BloodClan, she would find herself sneaking away to StormClan and build ties in both clans. When she's discovered, she would likely be thrown out of BloodClan and come to permanently live in StormClan, although this may change depending on the characters.
So...yep! Let me know if you're interested. ^^

✦ ✧ ✦ — The milky gray tabby trotted into camp, a woven basket clutched tightly in her mouth. Silver chains and golden ornaments were looped around her neck, and the basket’s contents seemed to tinkle and clink with every pawstep. Triumph radiated from Stardust’s pelt as she padded with these objects, and a small, viscous smile lined her maw.
She’d been out by the border when a traveler attacked her, leaping from behind and growling. They were indeed mad, crazy, even, and Stardust had had no choice but to defend herself. Of course, she could've gone a bit easier on the salesman, but she had shown no mercy to the unknown feline. The jewelry and trinkets she held were trophies of her viciousness.
The BloodClanner made her way to the corner of camp on light paws, as if she was doing everything in her power to ensure that the objects she held were safe. Upon reaching an open space, she gently rested the basket on a flat, sandy area. She settled herself comfortably in front of it, and, her smile growing, began to empty the basket with a paw, setting the items inside next to her on the sand.
Stardust had always loved jewelry and precious metals; it appeared, to her, that a jackpot had been hit. On the sand in front of her were five chains of silver, two bracelets, four charms in the shape of hearts and stars, a necklace with a purple crystal, a red stone that shimmered in the sunlight, and a music box with silver jewels and white satin. They were all so beautiful; the tabby couldn't help but stare, her sapphire-hued eyes glittering in awe. Beautiful, beautiful.

✦ ✧ ✦ — The blazing sun beat down on Stardust's pelt as she approached, a smile glowing on her maw. It wasn't often that the tabby smiled, yet she was doing so now; a pure, genuine smile stretched across her face. This, of course, was because of the pool party; the prospect of relaxing in the water would make anyone happy, even Stardust.
"Looks good, Ximen," the feline complimented, trotting up to the edge of the water. Dipping in a paw, she stirred up a small current, spraying little drops of liquid onto her pelt. Deciding she liked the temperature, the tabby took a few steps backwards, then sprinted towards the pool and jumped in with a splash. When she resurfaced, she was grinning.

✦ ✧ ✦ — -pops in-
Yep yep

✦ ✧ ✦ — Stardust finished laying down an arrow, the tenth in a line that stretched over the red sand. Three bows were placed at the end of the line, their strings shimmering and the handles shining clean ebony. Little white labels lay on the ground in front, stating the different names and uses for each individual part of the archery set. A few tail-lengths away was a pile of knives, swords, axes: an assortment of bladed weapons, sharp and shiny.
The tabby padded a small distance from the arrows before pulling an item out of the satchel she carried: a slingshot, then another. She lay a few blades and rocks next to them, then padded another distance and drew a long line in the sand with her pad. Targets stood on the other side, many fox-lengths away from the different weapons.
Satisfied with this arrangement, the BloodClanner nodded to herself. After doing so, she opened her maw to call. “Weapon training session, here! All are welcome. Feel free to bring your own weapons.”
-
That sounds great! Maybe, because she needs a reason to come in the first place, she could be the sibling of an NPC (or actual character, if it's possible) that's adopted by Blaze, so she could come over to meet her kind-of mother. ^^
