Leader:
Nightstar: Nightstar is a huge jet black she-cat with fiery orange and yellow eyes. She is tall and slim. Her claws and fangs are abnormally long and sharp. She is smart, fast and a quick thinker. Nightstar does however have tendency to be aggressive. She doesnt take disloyaty lightly and will harshly punish a disloyal cat. In battle she is a force to be reckoned with, speed, intelligence and strength that seems impossible for her slim build, all contribute to her deadly fighting skill. She was born a rogue but was accepted into the clan along with her sister Du\arkrose by the old leader Shadowstar. The body of Darkrose was found one day in the forest with bite wounds on her throat and a large stone pinning her right hind leg to the ground shortly after Nightstar became leader, the killer was never found. Nightstar is also incredibly flirty, she loves showing off to toms but, once she starts flirting she does tend to get a bit out of control and taking it a little too far. (DragonHeart)

You are walking through a pine forest, alone at night, scared. You notice something vaguely in front of you through the black fog. You realize it is a cluster of caves, but they seem to be at the bottom of a ravine or gully. Then a she-cat rams into your side at full speed, knocking you over. "Why are you here!" she hisses, on top of you now, her unsheathed paw on your throat. "GET OUT! This is NightClan territory you're in!" she spits out. "Let the cat go, Darkrose!" orders a voice . A large, jet black she-cat pads towards you and the other she-cat from the shadows, her Fiery orange eyes intimidating you. Reluctantly, the she-cat, Darkrose, releases you from her grip and steps back. You see the two cats next to each other and you notice that they look just alike. "I apologize for my dear sister attacking you like that. She's been a little tense lately," She studies you with intensity in her unsettling orange eyes. "But I see you have potential. Just staying conscious from a blow like that already means you are tough and strong." She motions to Darkrose, who is still glaring at you, with the same unnerving orange eyes. "Darkrose here is a formidable warrior, not to be messed with. I sense you will be just as strong, perhaps even stronger." The She-cat looks at Darkrose. "Go back to camp and tell the others that we have a new Clan member, that is, if you want to join NightClan?" She is staring at you, waiting for an answer. You nod enthusiastically. "Hmph," Darkrose snorted, then she sprinted toward the caves in the distance. "Forgive me for not introducing myself," she says, "I am Nightstar, leader of NightClan. I have a feeling you will be one of the best warriors NightClan has ever known. You will be respected among your Clanmates, and feared among the other Clans. Come now. Come with me..."

~*~Fighting Techniques ~*~
Credit To Erin Hunter.
The Night Ambush -
cats go and hide to surrond where the enemy will pass through. Cats nerest to the enemy go and surrond them. The other cats go and even more surrond them. Works best at night.
Back Kick-
Explosive surprise move to catch a opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully; then lash out your back legs.
Belly Rake-
If you're pinned down Slice with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponent's belly.
Front Paw Blow-
Bring your front paw down hard on your opponents head. Claws sheathed.
Front Paw Strike-
Slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponent. Claws unsheathed.
Neck Bite-
A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.
Leap-And-Hold-
Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond range of you opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll countermove, and try to jump free before you get crushed
Partner Fighting-
Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defensive position, each protecting the others back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for the attackers.
Play Dead-
Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his grip, thinking your defeated, push yourself up explosivly. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in a attacking position.
Scruff Shake-
Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponent's neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats witch are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.
Teeth Grip-
Target your opponents extremities- the legs, tail, scruff, or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold.
Upright Lock-
Final, crushing move to use on a weakened opponent. Rear up on your back legs and bring full weight down on your opponent. If the opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes it easy for the opponent to use the belly rake, so be careful while using it.
Leap-and-cover~
Ideal for making your opponent feel much pain, leap onto your opponent's back and put your paws over their eyes. For the moment the opponent is blinded, sink your claws into the soft skin around their eyes. If your opponent doesn't run away, take advantage of their temporary blindness and perform leap-and-hold move.
Double death bite~
Seems dishonorable and is only used against very evil cats. A partner and you take on one cat. Once you've got a hold of your opponent, your partner helps hold down enemy cat, and you both bite hard down on enemy cat's throat. Two pairs of jaws will cut off airway and cat will choke to death. Like I said, it's considered dishonorable and would only be used against evil cats like Tigerstar, Darkstripe or any cats of BloodClan.
Dizzy dance~
Only can be preformed by a extremely small and quick cat against a larger and at least somewhat slower cat. The cat charges head on then swiftly leaped sideways, ducking under the cat then as soon as the cat preforming this attack is out from under the other cat it spins and leaps over it. Then once more spins but rams the side then jumps over/goes under the cat and rams the other side then land one final blow by leaping onto the cat's back and grabbing the scruff with teeth and using your free paws to batter the cat's head. This attack should in the end result in a dizzy or confused enemy.
Back rake~
A bit like Belly rake, If you're fighting a cat from the front, jump over the cats head and score your claws down their back.
(Un)balancing act- If a cat is going to bring down all its weight on you while rearing on its back legs, roll towards your opponents hind legs to unbalance him.
Dizzy tackle-
A great move for swift young warriors facing older, larger warriors. You run in circles around them at top speed until their to dizzy or tired (if they were chasing you) to keep up. Then you tackle them. While they are down, attack. Caution, standing directly over them makes you vulnerable to the Belly Rake. This is a One-on-one move and is not recommended in a place with many foes.
Making sure-
You never know if a opponent is actually dead. When an opponent goes limp, they become venerable, so make sure they are really dead. Bite and slash. Claws unsheathed. When you think they have gone to StarClan, pray and leave.
Tail trip-
The opponent moves to you and at the right moment, trip them with your tail.
