Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Tawnyspots was made deputy by Sunstar after Pinestar left the Clan to become a kittypet. He came up with the idea of weaving thick, waxy leaves through the den, to keep the elder's den from flooding and getting wet. When Tawnyspots retired as deputy, due to a recurring sickness, there were two warriors that had a good chance at becoming deputy. One was Thistleclaw, an ambitious ThunderClan warrior, but he usually solved problems with violence. The other was Bluefur, who had just given birth to kits, but was otherwise an obvious choice for the position. Thistleclaw was too violent and would lead ThunderClan into unneccessary battles, so unbeknowst to her Clan, Bluefur gave her kits to RiverClan to be raised by their father, Oakheart, so she could save the Clan from Thistleclaw's aggression. Thistleclaw passed on his hunger for battle onto his apprentice, Tigerpaw (later Tigerclaw, then Tigerstar).
 * It is said that he retired to the elders' den afterwards, and died slowly of an unknown disease.

Forest of Secrets

 * Tawnyspots is mentioned by Bluestar in this book, when she is explaining to Fireheart how she lost her kits.
