Darkstar (CotC)

Darkstar is a small brown she-cat.

Code of the Clans

 * Darkstar is an ancient leader of RiverClan.


 * When Splashheart recognizes ThunderClan warriors intruding on Sunningrocks, Reedshine quickly goes to inform Darkstar. As Splashheart prepares to start the battle on his own, Darkstar bursts from the reeds ordering him to wait. Protesting that they could not allow ThunderClan to take over Sunningrocks, Darkstar grimly promises that they will not as reinforcements gather behind her. Leading the attack, Darkstar plunges into the river and races to battle, leaping at a dark brown cat and raking her claws on the cat's ears. When Splashheart is cornered by two ThunderClan warriors, Darkstar collides with the two warriors hissing to Splashheart to get back with the others on the shore.


 * Enraged by the behavior of the ThunderClan cats, Darkstar orders her Clan to attack once more. When they protest, saying the battle is already lost, she replies that it is only lost when they stop fighting. She then speaks of their elders, and how they fought and died so that their Clan and kits could play on the Sunningrocks, and that they must keep fighting to honor them. Then, a tabby springs at Darkstar, but she sidesteps, spins around, and sinks her claws into the cat's back, making him crash to the ground. The battle is over after that.


 * After the battle, in which the RiverClan cats win, Darkstar summons her warriors to the center of the summit, and announces that they will take home prey to their youngest and eldest cats of the Clan, saying that this victory is for them, to the surprise of many cats. This leads to the third law of the warrior code: that kits and elders are to be fed before everyone else.
