Shadowstar/Trivia

Author statements

 * Kate stated that she respected Tall Shadow, but her distance as a character held Kate back from feeling fond of her.
 * On her blog, Kate Cary confirmed that Tall Shadow will have a point of view in Dawn of the Clans book five, A Forest Divided.
 * However, Kate's chapter got edited out in the final draft.
 * She is the first of the original leaders to lose all their lives.

Mistakes

 * In an Erin Hunter Chat, Vicky revealed that Thunder, Shadow, River, Wind, and Sky did not take the suffix "-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.
 * This is proven to be true, however, as at the end of Moth Flight's Vision, all leaders do take "-star" at the end of their names.
 * It has been said in Secrets of the Clans that Shadow got her name from the way she hunted at night, however, Shadowstar had already had the prefix of her name prior to supposedly finding her talent for night hunting.
 * She was mistakenly referred to as a warrior.
