Secrets of the Clans

 * Shadestar is an ancient TigerClan leader.


 * At a Gathering, she explains with Goldenstar about the wild boar Rage, and how dangerous he is. She says that a TigerClan hunting party met him in the woods, but he ran off. Shadestar tells the cats that he fights with the strength of ten warriors, and can kill with a single blow with his tusks.


 * When Fleetfoot boasts that she can kill it, Shadestar snarls out that she should do as she says and kill Rage. After the Gathering ends, and Fleetfoot agreed to kill Rage, Shadestar turns to Goldenstar, telling him that they did not warn Fleetfoot of something. This was about Rage's mate, Fury, who Fleetfoot also killed, even though she didn't know about Fury. Ashamed of their treachery, Shadestar agrees with Goldenstar that LeopardClan should keep the river for good.


 * At a later time, Shadestar's warrior, Thorntooth, begins stealing kits from other Clans and raiding their fresh-kill piles, angry that TigerClan cats had nothing special about them. Shadestar knew of this, but did nothing to stop it because she herself was bitter about it. However, when Thorntooth stole the LionClan leader's kit, Petalkit, Shadestar became enraged. She knew that LionClan would fly into war and slaughter all of TigerClan to get Goldenstar's daughter back. She didn't want her warriors dying for nothing, so she called a Gathering and returned Petalkit. The other leaders demanded that Shadestar stop the dishonorable behavior. And so, TigerClan only walked at night for a moon, and this led to their pelts becoming striped.
