Lionblaze is a broad-shouldered, muscular, golden tabby tom with amber eyes the color of the sun. He has thick fur, thick fluff ringing around his neck, a nicked ear, and massive, pale paws with fur that bunches at his claws.

He is born to Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw as Lionkit, along with his two siblings, Jaykit and Hollykit. He is a strong-willed fighter, who is apprenticed to Ashfur, becoming Lionpaw. As an apprentice, he grows very close with Heatherpaw of WindClan, often sneaking off to go meet with her. He also begins to train with Tigerstar and Hawkfrost, unaware of them being in the Dark Forest. After traveling to the mountains, Jaypaw informs him and Hollypaw that they are apart of a Kin of Your Kin prophecy.

Shortly after earning his warrior name, Lionblaze, a fire errupts in ThunderClan's camp, it is forced out by Ashfur that Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw are not his true parents. After hunting for clues, it comes out that his parents are Leafpool and Crowfeather, causing a strain on the family. Shortly after his sister, Hollyleaf, vanishes, he and Jayfeather realize that she is not one of the three, and that the prophecy is predicting the Dark Forest's rising. He is given Dovepaw as his first apprentice, who he later discovers is the third cat in the prophecy.

Fulfilling the prophecy, he, Jayfeather, and Dovewing help the Clans fight off the Dark Forest in the Great Battle. After the battle, Jayfeather, Lionblaze and Dovewing lose all their powers, and Lionblaze becomes mates with Cinderheart. They have their first litter, Hollytuft, Sorrelstripe and Fernsong, all named after the cats who perished in the Great Battle. They later have a second litter, and he fathers Spotpaw, Flypaw and Snappaw.

Power of Three

 * He is born to Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, along with his two siblings, Jaykit and Hollykit. He is a strong-willed fighter, who is apprenticed to Ashfur. Lionpaw is very protective of his siblings, primarily Jaypaw due to his blindness.


 * As an apprentice, he becomes very close with Heatherpaw of WindClan, whom he develops feelings for after meeting her at night. They create DarkClan, an imaginary Clan that inhabits the tunnels in between WindClan and ThunderClan territory. In his dreams, he begins to train with Tigerstar and Hawkfrost, unaware of them being in the Dark Forest. They promise to make him be a stronger warrior, and he trains with them for nights on end to improve his battle skills. Overtime, his sister Hollypaw discovers that he's meeting with Heatherpaw, and becomes furious. She tells him to cut off Heatherpaw, and with the influence of his sister and Tigerstar and Hawkfrost, he does so, ending the affair. Heatherpaw is betrayed and hurt that he is leaving her, but lets him leave. He and his siblings, along with Breezepaw and Heatherpaw end up back in the tunnels to rescue lost WindClan kits. This makes Heatherpaw agree that they cannot continue to meet due to the discovery of the tunnels and the danger of them, thus ending their relationship.


 * He and his siblings are chosen to go to the mountains to escort Brook and Stormfur home. While in the mountains, he fights off the Tribe's intruders and comes out completely unharmed, though covered in blood. After this, Jaypaw reveals the Kin of Your Kin prophecy, telling him and Hollypaw that they have the power of the stars in their paws and that they're destined to be stronger than StarClan. It becomes apparent that Lionpaw's power is that he cannot be defeated in battle.


 * Sedgekit, one of the kits Lionpaw helped rescue, tells WindClan about the secret tunnels, leading WindClan to surprise an attack on ThunderClan that quickly becomes all four Clans fighting. An eclipse, that Sol predicted, stops the fight. Lionpaw automatically assumes that Heatherpaw betrayed him and was the one who revealed the secret of the tunnels, and quickly vows to try and kill her. He attacks Heatherpaw, and when she tries to tell him that it wasn't her, he refuses to believe her. He almost kills her, but stops himself, letting her go. After leaving her, he nearly kills Crowfeather in his fit of rage, and is only stopped when Heatherpaw intervenes. When the eclipse disrupts the fighting, he vows to never forget Heatherpaw's betrayal.


 * Angered and confused, Lionpaw starts to dream of him killing Heatherpaw, which terrifies him greatly. Jaypaw convinces him and Hollypaw that Sol knows answers to the prophecy, and they seek him out. However, Sol soon abandons them after they get caught by a ShadowClan patrol, and he leaves with Blackstar after discussing the validity of StarClan. In a dream, he kills Heatherpaw, but realizes that he doesn't want to keep being enemies with her. He earns his warrior name and becomes Lionblaze, along with his sister, Hollyleaf, and their denmate Cinderheart.


 * Even after earning his warrior name, Lionblaze is convinced he could still use more battle practice to be prepared. He keeps having horrible nightmares where he kills Heatherpaw, despite him forgiving her. Tigerstar reveals that he is behind the dreams, telling him that all traitors deserve to die. This enforces his fears, and when Jaypaw asks him to fetch catmint from WindClan, he is terrified of betraying the warrior code. He caves in eventually, and while there he meets Heatherpaw, now Heathertail, who is very aware that he had intent to kill her.


 * Shortly after, a fire breaks out in ThunderClan's camp, where Ashfur traps him and his littermates in an attempt to kill them. Squirrelflight saves their lives by revealing the truth that Lionblaze and his siblings are not her kits, and that she was just fostering them. Shocked by the news, Ashfur lets them go, but vows to reveal her secret to get revenge on her for breaking his heart. The siblings are thrown into turmoil by this threat, and when he later shows up dead, Lionblaze feels guilty that he feels no grief due to him and Ashfur not being very close, despite being his mentor.


 * Lionblaze gets in a fight with Tigerstar, and nearly kills him a second time. Though scared, Tigerstar mocks Lionblaze that he wouldn't do it, and Lionblaze responds by saying Tigerstar is already dead. This ends his relationship with the Dark Forest.


 * When it is discovered that his biological parents are Leafpool and Crowfeather, Lionblaze is pleased to know he is still a part of the prophecy, and in a fit of desperation, helps Sol escape when ThunderClan holds him prisoner. Sol refuses to hold up his end of the bargain, and he ultimately gives up. Distraught by the knowledge of her parents, Hollyleaf announces at the Gathering who their real parents are, and Jayfeather and Lionblaze have to try and talk her down from leaving the Clans once she realizes her mistake. They fail, and she runs into the tunnels which collapse behind her. They force themselves to believe the truth that she may be dead, and they report back to their Clan that she died chasing a squirrel. Lost on who the third cat in the prophecy now may be, they turn to Dovekit and Ivykit, Cloudtail's grandchildren.

Omen of the Stars

 * When Dovekit is apprenticed, Lionblaze becomes her mentor and quickly discovers that she is the third cat of the prophecy. He goes with her to unblock the stream leading to the lake during a drought because her extraordinary hearing reveals there are beavers blocking it. When they return, Jayfeather informs them both that the Dark Forest is rising, and that Breezepelt is being trained by Brokenstar. The brothers predict that the prophecy will be a battle between StarClan and the Dark Forest.


 * Lionblaze accidentally kills Russetfur while saving Firestar from her. He is deeply troubled by this, as he had no intention to kill her but her frailness gave away. Brambleclaw tries to comfort him, telling him that it wasn't his fault and that Russetfur was too old and frail to be fighting anyways, but this makes Lionblaze feel worse. Cinderheart attempts to make him feel better by going for walks with him at night to help ease his nightmares, and they start to grow close. They both confess that they love each other, but when Lionblaze reveals he's apart of a prophecy, Cinderheart becomes distraught and convinced they shouldn't be together. This is further enforced when she realizes she holds Cinderpelt's spirit within her.


 * Before the Great Battle, Lionblaze reconciles with his foster mother, Squirrelflight, forgiving her and insisting that she was a good mother, and encourages her to reconcile with Brambleclaw. During the battle, Breezepelt mocks Hollyleaf's death, and then attempts to murder Lionblaze, saying that they should never have been born. Their father, Crowfeather saves Lionblaze, and scolds Breezepelt for being so cold-hearted. After the battle, he is seen grieving heavily for his sister and Clan leader, Firestar.

A Vision of Shadows

 * Lionblaze loses his power of invincibility after the Great Battle, and becomes mates with Cinderheart, fathering his first litter. He names his kits Hollykit, Fernkit and Sorrelkit, after those lost in the Great Battle. He comes to terms with Breezepelt after he helps his half-brother fight off Stoats, and accepts Crowfeather as his biological father, but holds Bramblestar as his true father as the ThunderClan leader raised him. He later fathers a second litter with Cinderheart, Spotpaw, Flypaw, and Snappaw, and eventually becomes a grandfather to Flipkit, Bristlekit, and Thriftkit.
