Sunstar

Sunstar is a long-furred, bright ginger tom, with yellow tabby stripes, and green eyes.

Secrets of the Clans

 * Sunstar's name appears in the ThunderClan Leaders section before Bluestar.


 * Sunstar fought against RiverClan to keep Sunningrocks part of ThunderClan territory. His brother, Featherwhisker, served as his medicine cat, who mentored the later ThunderClan medicine cat, Spottedleaf. Sunstar's apprentice was Bluefur, who later served as his deputy and when he dies, leader of ThunderClan.

Code of the Clans

 * Sunstar, whose warrior name is Sunfall, is the deputy under Pinestar. When the two young warriors Dappletail and White-eye are caught stealing fish, he teases them gently when they say the fish is disgusting.


 * Sunfall is the one who leads ThunderClan into battle against RiverClan when Pinestar is absent. When his leader tells him that he will become a kittypet, Sunfall is full of understanding but points out that Pinestar will never be able to come back. Pinestar accepts it and names Sunfall his successor as his last act of leader.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Sunfall is introduced as ThunderClan's deputy.


 * He takes Bluekit out to explore the camp and takes her up to the ravine. He becomes Bluepaw's mentor after Stonepelt, her previous mentor, becomes an elder . Sunfall becomes slightly irritated with Bluepaw after Moonflower died, telling her not to mope around, and to be a credit to her Clan.


 * After Pinestar leaves for life as a kittypet, Sunfall becomes Sunstar, and appoints Tawnyspots as his deputy. After Snowfur, Bluefur's sister, died, Sunstar is very sympathetic to his former apprentice, but he chides her for not giving Snowfur's kit, Whitekit, more attention. When she finally does take over as a foster mother for Whitekit, he seems quite relieved.


 * Not long after, Tawnyspots starts to become very ill, and Sunstar was pressured to choose a new deputy. He came close to appointing Thistleclaw before Bluefur secretly gave her kits to Riverclan, allowing her to become deputy. Sunstar later revealed that he shared some of Bluefur's worries about Thistleclaw's violent nature, but was not as worried about it as Bluefur. He also then told Bluefur that he had only been given eight lives because Pinestar left with his ninth. Sunstar was killed by a dog after being weakened by sickness and unable to run away from it, and he gave Bluefur one of her nine lives, along with the gift of courage- saying that she would know how to use it.

Forest of Secrets

 * Sunstar is not seen, but Bluestar mentions him to Fireheart when she told Fireheart the story of why she gave her kits up.
