Goldenstar

Goldenstar is a male lion.

Secrets of the Clans

 * Goldenstar was once the leader of ancient LionClan. At a Gathering, he reports a dangerous wild boar, Rage, and that even his best warriors could not kill it. When the LeopardClan warrior, Fleetfoot, boasts that she could catch it and kill it, he tells her she should do as she says, and agrees that LeopardClan should get the river for a moon if she succeeds.


 * When everyone has left, he says to Shadestar that they would not have to give up the river, as Fleetfoot did not know about Rage's dangerous mate. However, when both boars are killed, he and Shadestar are ashamed of their treachery, and let LeopardClan keep the river permanently.


 * His warrior, Sunpelt, came to him with a tale of how he had been prideful and tried to kill the dangerous serpent Mouthclaw, and how she had tricked him, leading to her dividing into thousands of smaller adders. Goldenstar is stern, telling Sunpelt he could have been killed, and to never try and outwit a snake. However, he was pleased with his warrior, because now his Clan wouldn't need to worry about being consumed or killed by Mouthclaw, as the smaller snakes were definitely less dangerous, and he forgave Sunpelt.


 * His only daughter, Petalkit was taken by a TigerClan cat, Thorntooth, because he was bitter about TigerClan having nothing special. Shadestar, knowing that Goldenstar's wrath would be immense, immediately returns Petalkit. Goldenstar and Swiftstar demand TigerClan be punished for Thorntooth's deeds, and as a result, the tigers became striped, because they were forced to only walk out of their camp at night for a moon. The book mentions that 'their brightly colored pelts were sliced through with jet-black stripes.'
