Brightwhisker

Brightwhisker is a brown-and-white she-cat.

Code of the Clans

 * Brightwhisker is an ancient deputy of ShadowClan.


 * She is appointed to become leader after the former ShadowClan leader, Snowstar, died. She becomes ill before she can receive her nine lives. She wants to appoint a deputy, but Redscar, the medicine cat, tells her that she is too sick and needs rest. Redscar believes that she had whitecough, and said that it was nothing serious. Redscar leaves Brightwhisker to sleep in the leader's den, but she dies sometime during the night. The next morning, her body is discovered by Flowerstem. The whole Clan is stricken by her death. Redscar begins to suspect that Brightwhisker had indeed been infected by the same Greencough that had recently killed Snowstar, having picked it up from her den. Redscar feels very guilty about Brightwhisker's death, feeling that he should have known that she had greencough. Redscar announces Brightwhisker's death to the Clan. When the Clan is fighting over who should be leader, Jumpfoot and Mossfire fight over the position. Eventually, both cats are killed. Brightwhisker's body is taken into the center of the camp, and the cats later sit vigil for her.
