Trunk

"Don't you agree that the strongest should lead?"

- Trunk speaking to the first few members of what would soon become BloodClan

Appearance & Personality
Trunk was a sleek silver tabby she-cat with lighter silver markings on her chest and face, and darker silver tabby markings all over her body. She had striking amber eyes, and a rather weak build. She had two thin collars, one purple, and one golden.

Trunk was a weak she-cat who attempts to use other cats to her advantage, usually failing. She had no sense of loyalty or respect for anyone. Her one good trait was her charisma - she could convince many cats to do pretty much anything.

Brief History
Trunk, a former RiverClan warrior, found herself growing increasingly infuriated with the way the Clans function. She believes that it is idiotic that the strongest does not reign supreme, foolish that not all cats know how to heal. She left the Clans bitter about this and vowed to never dwell within a group of cats again, but grew lonely, and knew she needed cats near to stay sane. She made false promises of teaching others to be strong and healthy, and ended up with quite a large following. Trunk was a weak she-cat who disguised her desperation as genius, and was the first leader of BloodClan.

She was killed by Shadow in the first of many pit-fights that the Clan would become known for. Shadow succeeded her.

Detailed History
Trunkblossom was assigned to RiverClan after agreeing to join the Clans at the age of 11 moons. She never held the rank of an apprentice, although she did take on Ryepaw a couple moons later. Trunkblossom was disliked by her Clanmates - particularly by Bumblepaw - and was often called a Karen. She kept up that bitchy facade to give her anger at the Clans purpose. Ever since she'd joined, something had felt off to her.

She left the Clans shortly after Bumblepaw became Barkwing's apprentice, disappearing before the latter's murder. Some speculated that she had killed the medicine cat, but that wasn't true at all. She had left to return to her Clanless life... but soon realized just how much she missed being surrounded by many cats. So, moons and moons after she disappeared, Trunkblossom changed her name and began recruiting cats to join this group.

The first cat she met was a tom named Snapdragon, a former kittypet that she nicknamed 'bell cat', due to the shining bell on his collar. Snapdragon told the she-cat about his denmate, Frog, and when Trunk offered Snapdragon a life of gathering herbs and flowers, he signed on immediately. On her way to the Glade - their designated meeting place - Trunk also met Nettleflame, a WindClan warrior who felt as though she had no place in the Clan. She, too, joined Trunk, and the three cats met in the Glade before travelling to Twolegplace.

Trunk sent Snapdragon out to gather herbs after Prentice joined them, and Trunk met a kittypet named Katrina, who seemed interested in watching as the group grew in size. Snapdragon returned with the medicine cat of RiverClan - Bumblemeadow - and a warrior of ThunderClan, which appalled Trunk. Not only was her rival from RiverClan here, but they'd convinced a ThunderClanner to join, after what had happened in the Clan. Nettleflame became Flame, Bumblemeadow became Bumble, and Sunshadow became Shadow. Katrina also joined them, after convincing the group to let her Twoleg give them all collars, to set them apart from the Clans. After that, Shadow led the group to their new home.

She had barely planned at all, and made everything up along the way, resulting in her leadership being extremely fragile. However, she succeeded in the end, creating a rogue group in a camp Shadow had discovered, just outside ThunderClan territory. In a battle with Wingsoar and Sunnygrove, Shadow was caught stealing prey, and overwhelmed by her former Clanmates. Trunk stepped in, but was beaten down by Sunnygrove, losing the battle and ordering Shadow to return the lizard. Trunk had damaged her leg badly, but had even further damaged what little faith Shadow had in her. At camp, Bumble healed her, and she spent that night waiting for the Gathering, wondering what the other Clans would think of her group.

Trunk had realized that Shadow could overthrow her while she was in this weak state, but fatally misjudged the she-cat's drive to actually do so. Shadow had spied on the gathering and returned to the group, reporting that the Clans had dubbed them "BloodClan". Trunk chose to adopt and embrace this, much to the dismay of her subjects, who'd had enough by now. Trunk's transgressions and terrible leadership would no longer be accepted, as was told by Shadow stepping up to fight her. The two brawled viciously, Shadow winning in the end. Trunk died on her paws.
