Skystar

Clear Sky, or Sky, is a light gray tom with blue eyes.

The Sun Trail

 * Gray Wing remembers playing with Clear Sky outside the cave where the Tribe of Rushing Water lives in the last sunny season as the two are hunting. Clear Sky tells Gray Wing there wasn't any prey, and a hawk attacks them shortly after, which they kill. Clear Sky tears off a chunk of meat, but Gray Wing says that they should bring it back to the cave. They retrieve the prey, with Clear Sky grumbling about maneuvering it around, and he hoped that the other cats would appreciate it. When they return to the cave, the cats about to go out hunting eat the hawk. Clear Sky tells Gray Wing that he still wished they could eat it. Bright Stream trots over to the brothers to compliment their catch. Bright Stream's eyes are all for Clear Sky, and when Gray Wing backs off, Silver Frost comments that there will be kits when it gets warmer.


 * After Shaded Moss and Stoneteller announce that some of the cats would leave to find a new home, Clear Sky wishes to go instantly, eager for the adventure. He asks Bright Stream if she would go, and the she-cat asks him if he would go without her, although Jagged Peak interrupts his reply.


 * Clear Sky and Bright Stream are talking as Gray Wing goes hunting, Clear Sky trying to convince Bright Stream to come with him. He says it would be an adventure and more that just surviving, but Bright Stream is still uncertain and goes down to hunt with Gray Wing. He calls down that he wishes them poor hunting for once, so that they'll realize they need to leave. Bright Stream reveals that she has feelings for Clear Sky and Gray Wing is jealous of her loyalty to him and feels torn in two over leaving his brother.


 * Clear Sky goes with Shaded Moss, Tall Shadow, Dappled Pelt, Rainswept Flower, and Turtle Tail to climb the ridge to scout a route out of the mountains. When they come back after Fluttering Bird's death, Clear Sky says that it was great and they had found a path. Clear Sky rushes over to Quiet Rain's side when Gray Wing tells him, and tells his sister that he is sorry and will miss her. He straightens and looks to his mother, adding that this wouldn't happen when they reach their new home, asking her to join them. Quiet Rain tells him that she wouldn't leave her daughter. He helps Gray Wing scrape out a hole to bury their sister in.


 * The next morning, Clear Sky is huddled with Shaded Moss and the other leaving cats, eagerly asking if Gray Wing is going when he appears. When Stoneteller holds the vote as to whether the cats should leave or not, Clear Sky takes his stone to the leaving side of the cave. When Bright Stream casts her vote to leave, he is surprised and thanks her.


 * When the leaving cats are waiting for Stoneteller to speak, Clear Sky breaks away from Shaded Moss's group to say goodbye to Quiet Rain, Gray Wing, and Jagged Peak. He wishes them well, saying that they might see each other again someday. He asks Gray Wing again if he'll come, and Gray Wing responds that he's sorry Clear Sky will have to go without him, but that his place is here. Clear Sky says he's glad that Gray Wing will care for them.


 * Clear Sky is one of the voices Gray Wing hears as he and Jagged Peak approach the journeying cats. When the two reach the sun trail cats, Clear Sky exclaims that he could not believe it and thought that he’d never see them again. He asks if Quiet Rain is okay and Gray Wing tells them that every cat is fine. When Jagged Peak explains that he had come himself, Clear Sky is not surprised and tells him that it was lucky Gray Wing found him.


 * When they set off the next day, it is noted that Clear Sky does not hesitate to give his opinion, even though Shaded Moss is clearly in charge. Clear Sky is not fond of the taste of the fish that Dappled Pelt catches, but tells Bright Stream he’d give in if their kits liked it. Gray Wing asks him if Bright Stream is expecting kits, and he nods in confirmation. Despite the pragmatic timing, Clear Sky notes that he can’t wait to be a father.


 * Clear Sky is the one to suggest that they catch and kill one of the eagles that are trapping them under a rock. Shaded Moss doesn't like the plan, but when Gray Wing asks Shaded Moss to hear what Clear Sky has to say, and Shaded Moss allows him to continue. Clear Sky explains that four cats will bring down one of the eagles, while Gray Wing and three others will lead the others away. Shaded Moss has him explain exactly what they should do, and Clear Sky uses pebbles to show his plan. Turtle Tail suggests waiting for dark and sneaking out, but Clear Sky replies that the eagles would just keep following them. When Shaded Moss puts Bright Stream in Gray Wing’s group, Clear Sky objects that she is not fast enough, worrying about their kits. Shaded Moss tells him that Bright Stream is nearly as fast as Gray Wing, and the she-cat flicks Clear Sky’s ear, telling him that she would be fine.


 * Clear Sky is helping to finish off one of the eagles with bites to the neck when Bright Stream is carried away. He returns triumphantly after killing it, but then realizes that Bright Stream is gone. Turtle Tail tells him that an eagle took her and he rasps that that was impossible, since she was too fast. He turns to Gray Wing, asking him why he did not help her. Gray Wing stammers that he had hurt his leg and she was helping him, and Clear Sky asks in horror why he left her outside. Cloud Spots murmurs that it was not anybody’s fault, and Clear Sky straightens and turns to ask which way the eagle went. Shaded Moss tells him that they would not be able to find her, and Clear Sky protest that she was going to have his kits. Shaded Moss coaxes Clear Sky back to the overhang and the others try to comfort him.


 * The next morning, Shaded Moss approaches Clear Sky, asking him if he would like to go back to the cave, since Bright Stream died in the mountains. Clear Sky shakes his head, saying that he had promised to find a better place for them to live for the sake of her and their kits. Shaded Moss tells him to honor her by carrying her in his heart, but the tom does not respond. Gray Wing tries to walk with Clear Sky, but Moon Shadow steps forward to walk with him. At dawn the next day, Clear Sky walks up to Shaded Moss, announcing that they would leave to mountains today and he would come for Bright Stream’s sake.


 * The cats are out of the mountains when they reach a Thunderpath. Clear Sky and Gray Wing go to investigate, and it is noted that the brothers aren't as close anymore. The two take turns investigating the black stone, warning each other when monsters appear. Clear Sky responds to Gray Wing’s doubts about crossing that they did not seem to be able to see very well and they should be able to cross safely. Gray Wing tells him that that could have been an old, slow monster, and that younger ones could catch them quicker. Clear Sky responds that the journey would not be easy and they report back.


 * They describe the monsters and Shaded Moss has the group cross in twos, Clear Sky and Gray Wing supervising. Clear Sky goes to keep watch on the other side of the Thunderpath. After all of the sun trail cats cross safely, Clear Sky and Tall Shadow climb into an oak tree to see what lies ahead. When they return to the ground, Clear Sky says that the trees end soon, but when Shaded Moss asks what is beyond the trees, he says it was just misty, exchanging a glance with Tall Shadow. Gray Wing wants to press him for answers, but he realizes that their closeness was gone.


 * They reach a Twolegplace and Gray Wing realizes that it had been what Clear Sky had seen. When they are attacked by a pair of kittypets, Clear Sky helps to fight off the ginger she-cat. The ginger kittypet warns that rogues aren't welcome, and Clear Sky wonders what rogues meant, and if that’s their name for cats that don’t live with Twolegs. When Rainswept Flower suggests that they should have talked to them, Clear Sky rolls his eyes and responds that they hadn’t been in the mood for conversation.


 * When the sheep are led into the barn the cats are staying in, Clear Sky grabs Hawk Swoop as the she-cat is trampled by a sheep. Gray Wing spots Clear Sky walking away afterward, and goes up to ask him if everything is okay. Clear Sky responds that he is just going to stretch his legs and would be fine on his own. When Gray Wing returns, Turtle Tail tells him to let Clear Sky grieve and everything would be all right.


 * Clear Sky snaps at Jagged Peak when the young tom complains about the rain and that he is hungry, saying that he should have stayed home where he belongs. As Jagged Peak and Gray Wing are talking to the stranger, Clear Sky asks what is going on and leads the rest of the cats to them. He is suspicious of the stranger and the news he brought about the cats beyond Highstones. When the cats are attacked by a dog, he helps Jagged Peak to safety.


 * After Shaded Moss’s death, Clear Sky tries to urge Rainswept Flower away from her father’s body, suggesting that they keep moving. She shrieks that she isn't leaving him to the monsters, and Clear Sky tries to tell her that she can’t do anything, but Shattered Ice interrupts him, saying that they should carry him across the Thunderpath. As they are burying their leader, Gray Wing spots Clear Sky staring at nothing, likely thinking of Bright Stream, and when they say their goodbyes, Clear Sky adds her name to the reasons to continue their journey.


 * When the cats see the forest territories from Highstones, Clear Sky comments on the trees, that would have plenty of prey. After the cats climb down from the peaks and come up to a Thunderpath, Clear Sky points out to Falling Feather and Hawk Swoop that there was no prey on Highstones, and that they needed trees, bushes, and long grass to feed them. He goes to check the Thunderpath, and Shattered Ice has him lead the first group across. When Gray Wing’s group is crossing, Jagged Peak stops in the path of an oncoming monster and Clear Sky rushes out to rescue him. Clear Sky snarls that he is a stupid kit when they are safely across, saying that he should know by now not to stop in the middle. Gray Wing tells Clear Sky it was his fault, too, for not keeping track of him, but Quick Water interrupts to calm them down before Clear Sky can respond.


 * The cats find a hollow on the open moorland to rest in, and Clear Sky, Dappled Pelt, Falling Feather, and Moon Shadow are the first to go explore. He reports a massive waterfall thundering into a gorge.


 * Gray Wing sees Clear Sky heading across the moor several days later, and follows him to the waterfall gorge. Clear Sky nearly falls into the gorge when Gray Wing startles him, but Gray Wing grabs his scruff before Clear Sky can fall in, and hisses that he won’t let him die. Clear Sky is confused for a moment, and Gray Wing heaves him back onto the path. Clear Sky shakes himself and snarls at his brother, saying that he was an idiot for creeping up on him. Gray Wing apologizes, and Clear Sky calms down after a moment. He asked him what he meant by not letting him die, and Gray Wing apologizes for Bright Stream’s death. Clear Sky chokes out that it wasn't Gray Wing's fault. He reveals that he believes it was his fault for suggesting the plan with the eagles in the first place. Gray Wing steps forward and murmurs that it probably wasn't anybody’s fault, and that they can’t live feeling guilty. He adds that Bright Streams loved Clear Sky too much to want him to be unhappy.


 * The two brothers explore further downriver, Gray Wing feeling that he and Clear Sky had recovered some closeness. The two cross stepping stones that would be great for sunning and catching prey. They are interrupted by a black she-cat, who tells them to get off her rocks. Clear Sky asks who said they were hers, and the she-cat says that they are not welcome. When the she-cat jumps into the river and swims to the other bank, Clear Sky exclaims in surprise. The brothers make it back over the stepping-stones and into the forest, Clear Sky murmuring that he could live there. Clear Sky is not concerned about being watched, saying that they must be scared of them if they are not going to show themselves, and that he does not want to be challenged for prey. They make it to the hollow with four oaks, and Clear Sky climbs up one. He wonders if kittypets often come to the woods when they accidentally scare one away.


 * Clear Sky takes a hunting party into the trees, and when a loud screech echoes through the trees, he recognizes Moon Shadow, springing forward to help him. He helps fight off the cats, letting the yellow tabby go off with the squirrel before leading them back to the moor. The next day Clear Sky and others go hunting once more, and he seems proud of a squirrel he caught. Gray Wing wonders if he is finally starting to deal with Bright Stream’s death.


 * When foxes attack the hollow, Gray Wing blocks Clear Sky when he tries to help the other cats. Gray Wing suggests that Clear Sky and Turtle Tail attack a fox from the side, since if they split up they’ll be torn apart. The three manage to drive one fox off and move on to the other, Clear Sky insisting that he take Gray Wing’s place of leaping on it and clawing at its head. They drive the second fox off and the third one soon flees, leaving the cats in peace. He notes once they are gone that fighting together had worked well, and that they should practice it.


 * Clear Sky and Moon Shadow come up to Tall Shadow ask if they can leave. The cats cast a vote to see if they should leave the moors, and Clear Sky immediately opts to leave, without hesitation. After all the cats have voted, Tall Shadow announces that more cats opted to stay, but Clear Sky protests that they should be allowed to go if they want, Moon Shadow backing him. Tall Shadow allows them to leave and Clear Sky asks Gray Wing if he wants to come, but Gray Wing replies that he doesn't.


 * A few sunrises later, Gray Wing goes to see his brothers, and they challenge him to hunt in the trees. Gray Wing gets stuck and Jagged Peak and Clear Sky have to help him down the tree. Clear Sky has Gray Wing follow him to their new home and he expresses that he believes that he is in the place he's meant to be.


 * When Gray Wing tries to bring Storm to meet Clear Sky, a large tom stops them, saying that it is Clear Sky's place. When Gray Wing explains that Clear Sky is his brother, the tom takes them to meet him, asking Clear Sky if Gray Wing is his brother. Clear Sky says he is, introducing the large tom as Fox as Falling Feather introduces Petal and explains they are living with them. Gray Wing is shocked and turns to Clear Sky, who explains since that they were rogues, too, and asks why he is here. Gray Wing introduces him to Storm and the two stare at each other for a long moment, before Storm disappears. Several days later, Storm reveals she had been seeing Clear Sky and was going to live with him. Gray Wing is dismayed but feels that Clear Sky deserves to be happy after what happened with Bright Stream.


 * After Jackdaw's Cry is turned away from seeing his sister by Clear Sky's rogues, Gray Wing goes to talk to him. He learns from several of the rogues that Clear Sky is marking out territory and claiming prey for himself, much to Gray Wing's shock. He is shown to be overly protective of Storm, who is pregnant, sending her off to take a nap. When Gray Wing asks about him turning away Jackdaw's Cry, Clear Sky explains that Fox and Frost were a bit keen about it, but that they needed to protect their boundaries. When Jagged Peak is injured, Clear Sky lets Dappled Pelt treat him, although insisting that she needs to stay to look after him as his leg heals. Dappled Pelt comes back nearly half a moon later, commenting that she felt as though she was his prisoner.


 * Clear Sky has Frost take Jagged Peak back to the rest of the sun trail cats. Jagged Peak explains that Clear Sky had sent him back since his leg wasn't healing well, and Gray Wing helps him settle before going out to talk to Clear Sky. Clear Sky is expecting him, but says that the good of the group is more important, and that he can't go any easier on his own kin. Gray Wing attacks him, and the two brother fight before Clear Sky pins Gray Wing down. He growls at him to leave and not come back.


 * When Fox attacks Gray Wing, Clear Sky is present, although he does nothing to stop Fox from trying to kill Gray Wing. When Gray Wing kills him, Clear Sky snarls at him to leave, saying he had no brother anymore. Storm sees Fox's body and confronts Clear Sky, telling him that she is leaving. Clear Sky protests that he needs to look after her, and Storm retorts that that isn't what she needs, and Fox would be alive if Clear Sky hadn't been throwing his weight around. She leaves and Gray Wing begs Clear Sky to go after her, but the tom refuses, saying that the community comes first and Storm needs to accept his decisions. Before Gray Wing leaves, Clear Sky asks how Jagged Peak is doing, and Gray Wing offers to let them visit. Clear Sky says that the past is the past and he needs to let Storm and Jagged Peak go.


 * After Storm's death, Gray Wing tries to bring Thunder to Clear Sky, but the tom turns his son away, saying that he hadn't protected Storm and that the kit needed a father that could. Gray Wing realizes that Clear Sky didn't want the kit as a reminder of Storm, and tells Clear Sky that they are no longer brothers and that Clear Sky isn't the cat he had grew up and journeyed with. Clear Sky tells him that if he can't accept him as leader of the cats, they have no relationship left.


 * Thunder is accepted by the rest of the cats that followed the sun trail, with Hawk Swoop becoming his foster mother and Gray Wing his foster father.

Thunder Rising

 * Clear Sky is first mentioned by Thunder in a dream when he is talking to Storm about why his father didn't want him. Thunder states that Clear Sky isn't acknowledging him and asks Storm why. After this, Gray Wing notes after seeing Lightning Tail, Acorn Fur, and Thunder playing together that he and Clear Sky used to be just like that, and wonders why they never even seemed to talk to each other anymore.


 * A little bit later when Gray Wing is mentoring Acorn Fur, Lightning Tail, and Thunder, Thunder catches a bird out of mid air. Gray Wing hesitates to praise Thunder, because the leap reminded him of Clear Sky when he killed the hawk before they left the mountains, and how now he didn't even visit him since he gave up his own kit, Thunder.


 * When Turtle Tail returns home from the Twolegplace, she is seen hissing at Shattered Ice an insult, asking him if he thinks he is Clear Sky. Shattered Ice says that Clear Sky has some good ideas. After Turtle Tail is accepted back, she noticed Jagged Peak limping to settle down a little ways away. Jagged Peak unhappily explains how he fell out of a tree and how Clear Sky had decided that he wanted only healthy cats in his group.


 * When Gray Wing wakes up and sees fire burning the forest he wakes the others to try to help Clear Sky and his group. Once into the burning forest Gray Wing looks for Clear Sky but doesn't see him. When the group crosses the river to safety, Gray Wing and the others calls to Clear Sky. They finally spot him and his group and rescues them. Clear Sky and Thunder sees it each other and start becoming close.


 * Back at the hollow Clear Sky sees Jagged Peak and start accusing him for being lazy and weak, Gray Wing defends Jagged Peak and tells Clear Sky that he was watching over the hollow and greeted Clear Sky's group well. Clear Sky apologizes but Jagged Peak snaps at him and ignores him. Clear Sky is briefly confused.



The First Battle

 * Clear Sky is mentioned when Gray Wing is taken to the mountains in his dream. He meets with Stoneteller - and sees his mother, Quiet Rain, and wishes he could tell her that Clear Sky and Jagged Peak were alright. He pauses, and realizes that it was only half true, as he had changed so much that Gray Wing wondered if Quiet Rain would even recognize her first born son. He recounts on how Clear Sky had taken control of the forest, and Gray Wing describes him as brutal when it came to him protecting the woods. Stoneteller refers to Clear Sky when she tells Gray Wing that having little makes cats share, but having much makes cats greedy. Gray Wing wonders if she knew what she was thinking, as he painfully touches on how Clear Sky had been his closest friend, and now they faced each other like rivals. Stoneteller warns Gray Wing that there will be war with Clear Sky, and not to be frightened. She tells him that although both of them are divided - they still have Jagged Peak.


 * He is noted watching Thunder and Frost leave the woods, and he regrets allowing his son to leave. He doesn't mind Frost leaving - as he was hurt and was unlikely to recover. Clear Sky struggles, hoping Thunder will understand that injured cats weaken the tribe, and must leave or they will be a burden that weigh heavily on the cats' shoulders. He comes to terms that Thunder should leave, and that it's better, for he does not understand Clear Sky. He touches upon how he called him a monster for caring about his cats, and insists that he won't have his authority undermined. He keeps telling himself this - for if he continues, maybe the pain in his stomach would ebb. Clear Sky catches himself referring to his band of cats as a tribe and reminds himself that it isn't the mountains anymore, so there is no need to refer to them as a tribe.


 * Falling Feather is heard talking to Thunder, telling him that she almost wishes she was coming with him. Clear Sky is irritated at this, and confronts Falling Feather. She strongly tells her leader off - saying that she can go anywhere she likes. Clear Sky insists that if he can't rely on her loyalty, she can leave. Falling Feather argues with Clear Sky, telling him that they aren't a tribe and Clear Sky will be nothing like Stoneteller. Clear Sky is infuriated, and brings up how Stoneteller stayed in the mountains to starve. Falling Feather counters that she was protecting her cats, and Clear Sky replies with the fact that he was doing the same thing. Falling Feather tells him that all he cares about is boundaries, and Clear Sky reminds her about the kits that he has. Falling Feather has had enough - and tells Clear Sky to cut off the act - that he pretends to care about his cats. Angered, Clear Sky lashes out, raking Falling Feather's muzzle with his claws. Falling Feather stares at him like she hardly knows him, and Clear Sky concedes that he does everything for his cats. He apologizes for hurting her, but quickly reminds her that any cat who questions his loyalty puts all their cats in danger


 * When Falling Feather is talking to Quick Water, Clear Sky is anxious that they are gossiping about him. He turns to inspect the two new arrivals - Fircone and Nettle, being suspicious of them as they had convinced Thunder to question Clear Sky about the territory expansion. Clear Sky calls a meeting - and as the cats gather, he sees the orphans, Birch and Alder, currently being taken care of by Petal, which gives him a reminder to how he killed their mother. He tries to tell himself that he was just defending his cats, but guilt still remains in his heart. He starts the meeting off with a direct reference to Falling Feather - talking about how there is no room in his group for disloyal cats. He brings up how Falling Feather questioned leaving the group, and Clear Sky decides to punish Falling Feather. He decrees that any cat can give her orders, take her prey, and demoted her status to that lower than a snake until they can trust her again. He also refers to Fircone and Nettle, saying that cats had been questioning his decision to expand territory.


 * Directly giving them more reasons to question him, he decides to claim more, and says that they'll take care of it by constantly patrolling them, and that they'd attack anyone who crossed. Quick Water brings up Gray Wing - his brother. Clear Sky is angered, and tells Quick Water that Gray Wing attacked him and accused him of murdering Bumble. He declares that he rescues cats, and doesn't kill them. He tells his cats that they will work together in the cold season, and all his cats chant in agreement - even Falling Feather and Quick Water, although not to his surprise they are reluctant and lower than the others.  Clear Sky decides to start battle training, and tell Fircone and Nettle to attack each other. Although - for this training, he reminds them to keep their claws sheathed, as he didn't want any injuries. As they fight, Nettle becomes increasingly more vicious, and Clear Sky is forced to pull him back. Clear Sky is impressed, knowing that they'd be fiercer in a battle with enemies than as fierce as they were in a battle with their own companions. As he watches his cats question Fircone and Nettle about their blows and how to perform them, he knows that with proper training, they would be deadly warriors - enough to fend off Gray Wing's cats.


 * Back in Gray Wing's camp, all his cats are working out ways to fend off Clear Sky if he dares to attack. However, some of the cats are more focused on attacking Clear Sky before he can do anymore damage to any other cat. When Thunder and Frost return to Gray Wing, Thunder brings up an idea of talking to Clear Sky as a way to achieve peace. When Thunder confirms that he really thinks this would work, Gray Wing actively engages in the idea.


 * When Thunder and Jackdaw's Cry go to tell Clear Sky about the meeting, Clear Sky is briefly confused, then enraged at seeing his son again, and tells them he will meet with his brother, but he keeps Jackdaw's Cry as a hostage in his camp. Thunder reluctantly leaves Jackdaw's Cry in his father's camp, and returns to Gray Wing's camp.


 * When Tom kidnaps Turtle Tail's kits, Clear Sky encounters them and softens toward his kittypet scent, though he does not recognize Owl Eyes, Sparrow Fur, and Pebble Heart, and lets them go in peace, though he warns them it will not happen again if they happen to pass through again. He returns to camp and fiercely trains his cats in battling and matches Falling Feather with Snake first, ordering her to get on her back and attack Snake from there, trying to knock undivided loyalty into her. Jackdaw's Cry protests against this, but Clear Sky refuses to listen to the black tom and orders him not to eat any of the fresh-kill, despite the bounty of it.


 * Time passes and he meets Gray Wing, Thunder, and Tall Shadow at the rock, with his warriors surrounding him. He and his littermate are able to strike a deal, but it is quickly destroyed when Jackdaw's Cry catches a bat and quickly eats it to soothe his hunger and make himself comfortable.



The Blazing Star

 * Clear Sky gets a visit from StarClan, and he sees his beloved Bright Stream. Storm is watching, her eyes glinting with jealousy.



A Forest Divided

 * After a few cats join his group in the forest, Clear Sky begins limiting the amount of hunting. Later, when Star Flower enters the forest and requests to be a member of Clear Sky's group, Clear Sky allows her to join. The two start meeting each other privately, ad Thunder finds out. Thunder argues that Star Flower is dangerous and cannot be trusted. Clear Sky says that she can be trusted. Thunder later confronts Clear Sky about the prey problem in front of all the cats. Clear Sky still limits the prey, and Thunder starts his own group. Clear Sky then takes Star Flower as his mate, and she starts having kits. Thunder later comes to Clear Sky, bringing news that Quiet Rain wants him. Clear Sky travels to see his mother. When he mentions that he killed a cat, Quiet Rain is furious and wounds Clear Sky's nose. Quiet Rain rejects him as her son, but changes her mind when she is dying. Clear Sky briefly stays at Tall Shadow's camp with Star Flower but returns to his own camp. The rogue Slash then kidnaps Star Flower, and Clear Sky is furious.

Code of the Clans

 * Sky is only briefly mentioned as a rogue. He is the best hunter from his hunting grounds. After a battle that was so dreadful that the ground beneath Fourtrees was red with blood, spirits of deceased cats came to him, and Thunder, River, Shadow, and Wind. The five cats promised to end the fighting and live separately in their own hunting areas.

The Ultimate Guide

 * Clear Sky first appears on SkyClan’s introductory page described by Cloudstar. Cloudstar describes that Clear Sky came from the mountains and chose not to stay on the moor that reminds cats of their mountain home. He instead, took advantage of the prey-rich woodland and dense undergrowth that offered shelter and secrecy. Clear Sky took cats with him that could leap into the sky easily to catch eagles as this talent easily was turned to climbing trees and catching smaller birds. The moorland cats grew jealous and resentful, but Clear Sky knew he was sowing the seeds of a group that would grow strong and last forever. Perhaps it would have because Clear Sky could not have foreseen what the Twolegs would do to the territory.


 * Clear Sky appears on Gray Wing's page, saying that Gray Wing was in love with Bright Stream, who in turn loved Clear Sky. When they arrived at their new home, Clear Sky and some others left and lived in the forest. Gray Wing again fell in love with another cat, Storm, who in turn, again, loved Clear Sky. She and Clear Sky became mates, but she left when she became pregnant. Gray Wing took their lone surviving son (after the others died) and took him to Clear Sky, who rejected him.


 * He then appears next on his own page.


 * Clear Sky was excited about leaving the mountains, and coaxed his mate to join him on the journey. When she was carried off by an eagle, he became very depressed. He started recovering when they reached their home; he and a group of cats went to live in the woods. He got rogues to join him, and started falling into an obsession over territory and boundaries. Patrols were sent out to make sure no cat, not even his friends from the mountains, would hunt there. Clear Sky said every cat should look after himself, and drove out Jagged Peak when he injured his leg. He fell in love with Storm and she became pregnant; she left when she grew tired of his ordering everyone around and his obsessions. Storm had three kits, but only one, Thunder, survived the collapse of a Twoleg nest that she could not escape. Gray Wing took him to Clear Sky, but he rejected the kit. Later, Clear Sky invited Thunder to join him, but soon after he came to his father's camp, Clear Sky's cruelty made Thunder go back to the moor. After the Great Battle, he realized his fierceness had cost many cats, and became less vicious to other cats and gentler to his own. He was the first leader of SkyClan.


 * On the next page, he is said to be the brother of Gray Wing and Jagged Peak. The younger of them, Jagged Peak, looked up to him and went to live in the forest when they arrived at the new territory. When he got injured, Clear Sky banished him from the forest.


 * Clear Sky then appears on Thunder's page. He is the son of Clear Sky and Storm. He was rejected by his father after the kit's life was saved from a collapsing Twoleg den. After the forest fire, Clear Sky and his cats took temporary shelter with the moorland cats. When it was time to go back to their own territory, Clear Sky praised Thunder and persuaded him to come back to the forest with him. But later his cruelty made Thunder return to the moor.


 * Next, Clear Sky is found on Storm and Turtle Tail's page. Upon meeting Storm, they both fell in love at first sight, and she went to live with him. However, his obsessions and controlling nature drove her away to live in an old Twoleg nest, where she bore their kits. When it was demolished, she as well as two kits died, leaving one surviving son. He is rejected by Clear Sky.


 * It is mentioned on Tall Shadow's page that Tall Shadow left the mountains with Clear Sky and the others. He briefly appears on Dappled Pelt and Cloud Spots's page. Dappled Pelt went to live in his camp to take care of the injured Jagged Peak.

Cloudstar's Journey

 * Clear Sky is briefly mentioned by Maplestar, when she is talking to Cloudstar, the current leader of SkyClan. Maplestar says to Cloudstar that when the Clans first started marking boundaries, Clear Sky was their leader. Maplestar continues to say that Clear Sky was the first cat who saw the usage in each Clan's territory, and how it could feed and support them.


 * Cloudstar mentions that they still mark the borders in his memory, and this brings the appearance of another ancient leader, Rowanstar. The former leader mentions that he had advanced upon the ideas and creations of Clear Sky, forming the boundaries even further.

Trivia

 * In an Erin Hunter Chat, Vicky revealed that Sky, Thunder, Shadow, River, and Wind did not take "-star" on the end of their names, because the tradition had not yet been established in their time.
 * This, however, contradicts information in Secrets of the Clans, which shows the founders of the Clans to have the "-star" suffix. However, Sky is never mentioned in Secrets of the Clans, and has never been named with the -star suffix.
 * Vicky has confirmed that Clear Sky and Sky are one and the same.
 * It is mentioned in Cloudstar's Journey that Sky was leader of SkyClan when borders began to be marked. However, in Code of the Clans, Rowanstar is the leader to propose the idea of marking and patrolling borders, and the idea is first proposed by Poppycloud.
 * Clear Sky is Quiet's Rain's firstborn.
 * Kate stated that she paired up Clear Sky and Star Flower because they were a "perfect match".
