Bluestar/Main article

Bluestar is a pale blue-gray she-cat with blue eyes.

Bluestar is a former leader of ThunderClan. She is born as Bluekit to Moonflower and Stormtail of ThunderClan, along with her sister Snowkit. She becomes an apprentice as Bluepaw mentored by Stonepelt. In Bluepaw's first battle, Moonflower is killed by the WindClan medicine cat Hawkheart and falls into a depressed state. She is assigned a new mentor, Sunfall, and is later given her warrior name Bluefur. Bluefur falls in love with Oakheart, a RiverClan warrior. She meets with him in secret, and later finding out that she's expecting kits. Thrushpelt covers for her when Mistykit, Stonekit, and Mosskit are born. She gives up her kits to prevent Thistleclaw from becoming deputy.

She becomes leader as Bluestar and appoints Redtail as her deputy. Spottedleaf reveals a prophecy causing her to invite young kittypet named Rusty to join her Clan. Fireheart grows very close to Bluestar, and after Tigerclaw tries to murder Bluestar, she is shaken to her roots, and becomes paranoid and distrusting of every cat. When Tigerstar tries to lead a pack of dogs to destroy ThunderClan, Bluestar saves Fireheart from the pack leader and sends herself and the dog plummeting over the edge of the gorge. She is rescued by her kits, Mistyfoot and Stonefur, and Fireheart. She dies and Oakheart comes to take her to StarClan, where they reunite again as mates. She continues to watch over her beloved Clan and oversees many prophecies.

The Prophecies Begin

 * Bluestar is the leader of ThunderClan. After a lost battle at Sunningrocks, Bluestar admits her worries to Spottedleaf. The medicine cat receives a prophecy foretelling fire saving the Clan, though both are uncertain about its meaning. She invites Rusty, a kittypet with promise, to join ThunderClan. He accepts and she renames him Firepaw and later decides to mentor him. After hearing of Redtail's death, she names Lionheart his replacement. While journeying back from the Moonstone, the group is attacked by rats and Bluestar loses her seventh life, though she lied and said it was her fifth life. While they were gone, ShadowClan attacked and Lionheart was slain. Bluestar reluctantly names Tigerclaw her deputy.


 * She sends Fireheart and Graystripe to find WindClan and bring them back to their territory, and later loses her eighth life to greencough. Fireheart discovers her kits are Mistyfoot and Stonefur of RiverClan, and Bluestar admits she gave her kits up to become leader. When Brokenstar and his band of rogues attack ThunderClan, Brokenstar is blinded and taken prisoner. The other Clans declare war for this, and Bluestar is accused of putting her Clan in danger. Tigerclaw attempts to kill her, but Fireheart saves his leader's life. Tigerclaw is exiled and Bluestar names Fireheart deputy after moonhigh, breaking the warrior code.


 * In light of Tigerclaw's betrayal, Bluestar's grief blinds her judgment and she begins to distrust her Clanmates. After a fire destroys ThunderClan's territory, Bluestar adamantly insists StarClan has betrayed them. She believes WindClan has been stealing prey and prepares to launch an attack, but Fireheart manages to arrange a peace meeting behind Bluestar's back. Bluestar is attacked by her kits when RiverClan invades Sunningrocks but Fireheart stops them by revealing Bluestar as their biological mother. During ThunderClan's attempts to lead the dogs to the gorge, Fireheart is captured by the lead dog and Bluestar sacrifices herself to save him. He, Mistyfoot, and Stonefur save her from the river and Bluestar passes away, finally at peace with her demons.


 * In StarClan, Bluestar gives Firestar his final life of nobility, certainty, and faith. She also warns him of blood ruling the forest. After Firestar loses his first life during the battle against BloodClan, Bluestar comforts Firestar and explains StarClan will always fight alongside him.

The New Prophecy

 * Bluestar chooses Brambleclaw as the representative from ThunderClan to go on the journey to the sun-drown-place, and appears to him in a dream. In the skies over the lake territory, she thanks Midnight for her part in guiding the Clans there. She appears to Cinderpelt in a dream at the Moonpool to tell the medicine cat that she will soon be joining them in StarClan. Sympathetic, Bluestar tells her that she will not face her death alone. In Leafpool's dream after she returns to ThunderClan, Bluestar informs Leafpool that she will walk a path few have walked before, and will be with her every step of the way.

Power of Three

 * Leafpool meets Bluestar at the Moonpool and informs StarClan Graystripe had returned, bringing Brambleclaw's position of deputy into question. While pleased Graystripe was safe, Bluestar affirms that Firestar should listen to his head and not his heart, and asks Leafpool to pass the message to her father. Later, she stubbornly insists to Yellowfang and Spottedleaf that they should keep the truth a secret from Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw. Yellowfang later attacks Bluestar for keeping it a secret for too long, but Bluestar insists she believe Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight were good parents to the Three.

Omen of the Stars

 * Bluestar meets with other StarClan cats about the third cat in the prophecy after what happened with Hollyleaf. Yellowfang wants to send an omen to the third, firmly believing they have the right three. Bluestar disagrees, insisting the third cat is already powerful, but is outvoted. When Jayfeather tries to speak to Ashfur in StarClan, Bluestar stops him and reaffirms Ashfur's place in StarClan.


 * She later meets with several Tribe of Endless Hunting cats to prepare for the final fight against the Dark Forest. After StarClan is united by the medicine cats, Bluestar participates in the Great Battle. Firestar is killed, and Bluestar welcomes Brambleclaw as the new leader of ThunderClan.

A Vision of Shadows

 * At a meeting of former leaders, Bluestar gently encourages Firestar to speak his mind but Crookedstar cautions her against that. Rowanclaw joins them, and Bluestar questions if his son, Tigerstar, would challenge SkyClan's place at the lake. She warns about the downfall of one Clan is the destruction of all, including StarClan and their existence, and dryly wonders how many times the Clans need to be told that peace is the answer.
