Rushstorm

Rushstorm was a predominately white and black-based tabby tom with hazel eyes.

He was a senior warrior of SplashClan before his death which was caused by a urinary tract infection. The tom was the mate to Skipperpelt, who was also formerly his apprentice. Together, the two of them had two daughters - Salmonstar and Troutstream.

Family
Salmonstar
 * Rushstorm had a good and healthy relationship with his eldest daughter. He watched her first steps and helped her become the cat she is today. The tom was able to support her without question or interruption and was able to respect her choices. Rushstorm cared deeply for her safety and was originally worried that she would be a lot like he was in his youth. Although she shared some of his traits, such as pride, he could see that she had her mother's sensibility. He is very proud of her and wishes her all the luck in the world, that she will be happy and do the Clan well.

Troutstream
 * He never did get to form a strong bond with Troutstream like the one he had with her sister. By the time she was old enough to walk, he was already on the path to being very sick. So the tom never formed a good relationship with her at all. Rushstorm only ever heard about her from the medicine cat, or from Salmonclaw when she visited him in the medicine cat den. After his passing, he began watching her grow in the care of her sister and mother. Rushstorm wishes her all the best too. Hoping that she can live a happy life and find what she is searching for, and not be left in the dark ever.

Love interests
Skipperpelt
 * Rushstorm was Skipperpelt's mentor at the beginning of their relationship. He was given her in his young age in hope that the responsibility of training her would cool his flame and set him straight. However, it didn't help that she had her own defiant streak every so often that would challenge his leadership and mentoring capabilities. By the end of their time together, the two did become friends because of their shared jokes and close age. The years following, the two started taking very slow first steps in taking their friendship the step further.


 * Their relationship hit high after an exciting night left Skipperpelt pregnant. As her due date drew closer, Rushstorm had his doubts about sticking by but, he knew in his heart that leaving his best friend high and dry would be the worst thing to do. So he stayed, not out of this fear, but out of his love for her. Even though he hates to admit, he loved her from the beginning. Having someone challenge him on a near-daily basis really sparked something for him.
