Dawnstar

Dawnstar is a creamy brown she-cat with brilliant green eyes.

Yellowfang's Secret

 * Dawnstar is seen at Raggedpelt's leader ceremony. She gives the tom his final life, to put ShadowClan above all else. She then calls out his leader name, Raggedstar, along with the rest of StarClan.

Firestar's Quest

 * Dawnstar is an ancient leader of ShadowClan.


 * She is first seen telling Swiftstar, the WindClan leader, that the Gathering cannot start because SkyClan hadn't arrived yet. Upon arriving, Dawnstar warmly welcomes them. When Cloudstar asks for more territory, Dawnstar refuses, saying that ShadowClan is the biggest of all the Clans, so they need every paw step of ground they have to supply them with prey.


 * Dawnstar appears at Leafstar's leadership ceremony with the other leaders at the time of SkyClan's departure: Swiftstar, Redstar, and Birchstar. She tells Cloudstar that ShadowClan is very sorry for their actions. Dawnstar states that the Clans have good reason for what they did, but she regrets that the Clans caused so much suffering for Cloudstar and his Clanmates. Firestar is astonished that such a graceful she-cat could be leader of ShadowClan, the Clan who seems to be the most troublesome in the forest, currently. He believes that perhaps ShadowClan was most likely different back then, and has the potential to change again.


 * Dawnstar gives Leafstar a life, the life for determination, to use to set her paws on the path of what she knows to be right. Dawnstar tells Firestar that her and the other leaders thought they had to drive SkyClan away for the sake of their own Clans, but admits that this idea was a mistake.
