Birchstar is a light brown tabby she-cat.

Firestar's Quest

 * Birchstar is an ancient RiverClan leader.


 * Birchstar is first seen talking politely with Redstar, ThunderClan's leader, before a Gathering. Birchstar asks Cloudstar why he brought his whole Clan to the Gathering. Birchstar states that she would like to help SkyClan, but the river was very low, and it was harder than ever to catch any fish. She also said that SkyClan didn't know how to catch fish.


 * Much later, Birchstar appears during Leafstar's leadership ceremony with the other leaders at the time of SkyClan's departure: Redstar, Swiftstar of WindClan, and Dawnstar of ShadowClan. She told Cloudstar that RiverClan feels the same as ThunderClan, admitting that the Clans should never have driven SkyClan out. Birchstar admits her feelings of compassion, although she did nothing. Birchstar gave Leafstar a life for sympathy and understanding, to use for the weakest in SkyClan, and for all the others who need help and protection.


 * When she talks to Firestar with the other leaders, she admits that there should always had been five Clans in the forest. She stands close to the other leaders, Skywatcher, Spottedleaf, and Leafstar's mother for the rest of the leadership ceremony.
