[edit] Into the Wild (Darkstripe) Although Longtail was the first to speak up against a kittypet joining the clan, Darkstripe was a cat who only grudgingly agreed to his leader's decision to make Rusty a Thunderclan apprentice. Darkstripe took his first apprentice, Dustpaw, after Redtail's death left him with no mentor. As Bluestar indicated him as mentor to Dustpaw, she told him to teach Dustpaw some of the good training that Tigerclaw had done for him. So, immediately we see a connection between Tigerclaw and Darkstripe and we see Darkstripe supporting his old mentor throughout the story. It became no surprise, then, that Tigerclaw, when he became Deputy after Lionheart's death, would appoint the two cats he trusted most to be Bluestar's bodyguards, Longtail and Darkstripe. It was these two cats that Tigerclaw would use to begin rumors demoralizing Ravenpaw because Ravenpaw knew the truth about Redtail's death.
