Bright Stream/Main article

Bright Stream is a lean pale brown-and-white tabby she-cat with green eyes.

Bright Stream was a member of the ancient Tribe, and was the first mate of Skystar. She left the mountains on the journey to the forest territories, but was carried off by an eagle before the birth of her kits. Her death was a recurring source of grief for both Skystar and his brother, Gray Wing, who blamed themselves for letting the young queen die.

Dawn of the Clans

 * When Stoneteller announces that Shaded Moss will lead a patrol of cats out of the mountains in search of better hunting when a bitter cold season leaves the mountain cats starving, Bright Stream is hesitant towards the idea. She confides in Gray Wing when his brother, Clear Sky, pressures her to come with him on the journey. Though Bright Stream doesn't want to lose her home, she also does not want to lose Clear Sky, deciding to follow him. As the journey begins, Bright Stream reveals that she is expecting Clear Sky's kits. However, when eagles trap the traveling cats, Bright Stream is attacked and carried away, and Gray Wing blames himself for her death. Moons later, Bright Stream appears as an apparition after the First Battle, and again with her unborn kits when Gray Wing dies.

Interesting facts

 * There is a short story titled The Death of Bright Stream, which explains what happened to Bright Stream after she had been taken by the eagle.
