Sunstar telling Bluefur why he chose her to be his deputy in Bluestar's Prophecy, page 496



Bluestar is a pale[16] blue-gray she-cat[2] with blue eyes.[17]

Bluestar was a leader of ThunderClan in the forest territories. She was a proud and deeply committed leader. Bluekit was born to Moonflower and Stormtail alongside her sister, Snowkit. She was apprenticed early as Bluepaw and mentored by Stonepelt. However, after a devastating battle, Moonflower was killed and Stonepelt retired, resulting in Sunfall being Bluepaw's new mentor. Goosefeather gave her a prophecy, though she didn't think much of it. After becoming a warrior, Bluefur raised Whitekit, Snowfur's kit, as her own after the death of her sister due to a Thunderpath accident while chasing off ShadowClan trespassers, and Bluefur fell for a RiverClan warrior, Oakheart, becoming pregnant with his kits. Bluefur then realized she could not be loyal to her Clan when her heart lay somewhere else. At first, she raised Mistykit, Stonekit, and Mosskit in ThunderClan with Thrushpelt acting as their father; however, in order to become deputy instead of the ambitious Thistleclaw, whom she feared would destroy ThunderClan with his thirst for battle, she gave up her kits to Oakheart to live in RiverClan, and on the journey there, Mosskit perished from the cold. Bluefur mentored Frostfur and Runningwind, and later succeeded Tawnyspots as deputy. After Sunstar's death, she became leader as Bluestar.

After Spottedleaf received a prophecy, Bluestar invited a young kittypet named Rusty to join ThunderClan, renaming him Firepaw and mentored him. Despite warnings from Fireheart, Bluestar trusted her deputy, Tigerclaw, until he tried to murder her during a battle, and she banished him, which sent her into a depressive state and turned her against StarClan. After Bluestar sacrificed herself to save ThunderClan, Mistyfoot and Stonefur forgave her, and she ascended to StarClan where she became mates with Oakheart again and reunited with her kin, feeling at peace. While in StarClan, she granted Firestar, Blackstar, Mistystar, and Bramblestar one of their nine lives.

How did Bluestar's leadership impact ThunderClan? toggle section
Following Pinestar's decision to become a kittypet that left the Clan unsettled, Sunstar aimed for resurgence by reclaiming Sunningrocks from RiverClan. Yet, it was Bluestar's reign, despite her haunted past, that was prophesized to restore ThunderClan during this chaotic period. She was unwavering in her commitment to protect her Clan during turmoil with ShadowClan. Bluestar was also compassionate, allowing the kittypet Rusty to join the Clan as Firepaw and providing sanctuary for Yellowfang, the formerly exiled ShadowClan medicine cat. She also advocated for WindClan's return after they were driven out from their territory, sending two of her warriors on a quest to find them. Her decision to keep the injured Brokentail as a prisoner led to a combined attack from ShadowClan and WindClan.

The Prophecies Begin[]

«But Fireheart was not sure he understood at all. His mind was whirling. On one paw he could picture the young warrior. Bluefur; fiercely ambitious, determined to do what was best for her Clan, even if it meant unimaginable sacrifices. On the other, he saw a mother grieving for the kits she had abandoned so long ago. And what was probably more real to him than either; the gifted leader who had done what she felt was best and borne the pain of it alone.»
—Fireheart's thoughts about Bluestar Forest of Secrets, page 235
After Spottedleaf, the ThunderClan medicine cat, receives a prophecy foretelling fire saving the Clan, Bluestar invites a flame-colored kittypet named Rusty to join ThunderClan, where he is named Firepaw. When news arrives of her deputy Redtail's death, Bluestar names Lionheart his replacement. She takes on Firepaw as her apprentice, teaching him how to become a warrior. While returning from the Moonstone, their patrol is attacked by rats, causing Bluestar to lose one of her nine lives. Upon returning to camp, ShadowClan is revealed to have attacked and claimed the life of Lionheart. Thereafter, Bluestar names Tigerclaw the new deputy.
Some time after, Bluestar loses another life to greencough. When Fireheart reveals that Tigerclaw killed Redtail, Bluestar refuses to believe him and remains confident in her deputy. However, after Tigerclaw attempts to kill her, Fireheart saves Bluestar's life and is named deputy, while Tigerclaw is exiled. In light of Tigerclaw's betrayal, Bluestar's grief blinds her judgement, and she begins to distrust all of Clanmates, barring Fireheart. After a fire destroys ThunderClan's territory, Bluestar adamantly insists that StarClan has betrayed them, and her faith in them is shaken even further. Because of this lack of faith in her ancestors, Clanmates, and her deteriorating mental state, Bluestar also believes that WindClan has been stealing prey and prepares to launch an attack on them. Fireheart manages to arrange a peace meeting behind her back, however, and is able to successfully stop the battle. Bluestar feels betrayed, claiming she was leading a Clan of traitors, and speaks to Fireheart about his actions afterward.
Later, when RiverClan invades Sunningrocks, Bluestar is attacked by Mistyfoot and Stonefur, who Fireheart had earlier discovered to be her kits. He stops them from killing her by revealing her secret, and Mistyfoot and Stonefur are surprised and angered to hear they have been lied to by Graypool, the cat who raised them. While Bluestar begins to despise even Fireheart, she sacrifices herself to save him from the pack, falling into the gorge. Fireheart, Mistyfoot, and Stonefur drag her from the river, but Bluestar passes away, reconciling with her lost children and noting that she is at peace, now that her kits forgave her, and that she is free to join Oakheart in StarClan. In StarClan, Bluestar gives Firestar his final life for nobility, certainty, and faith and is one of the first to honor him with his leader name, Firestar.

The New Prophecy[]

"But remember, not even StarClan can turn aside the paws of destiny, however much we might want to."
―Bluestar comforting Cinderpelt Twilight, page 2
As a StarClan cat, Bluestar chooses Brambleclaw as the representative from ThunderClan to journey to the sun-drown-place and appears to him in a dream. In the lake territories, she shows herself to Cinderpelt in a dream at the Moonpool to tell the medicine cat that she will soon be joining them in StarClan. Sympathetic, Bluestar tells her that she will not face her death alone. In Leafpool's dream after she returns to ThunderClan, Bluestar informs her that she will walk a path few have walked before, and StarClan will be with her every step of the way.

Power of Three[]

Bluestar: "If I stay, we will argue."
Yellowfang: "So you still think we should keep the secret from them?"
Bluestar: "I understand your fears, Yellowfang. But for now this secret is safest kept with us."
Yellowfang: "Nothing but stubbornness."
—Bluestar and Yellowfang about the Three Eclipse, page 5
Leafpool meets Bluestar at the Moonpool and informs StarClan that Graystripe had returned to ThunderClan, bringing Brambleclaw's position of deputy into question. While pleased Graystripe was safe, Bluestar states that Firestar should listen to his head, not his heart, and asks Leafpool to pass the message to her father. Later, she stubbornly insists that Yellowfang and Spottedleaf should keep the truth a secret from Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw. Yellowfang later attacks Bluestar for keeping it a secret for too long, but Bluestar insists she believes Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight were both good parents to the Three.

Omen of the Stars[]

"And I will die a tenth time to defend ThunderClan!"
―Bluestar vowing to fight the Dark Forest The Last Hope, page 4
Bluestar meets with other StarClan cats about the third cat in the prophecy after losing Hollyleaf. Yellowfang wants to send an omen to the third, firmly believing they have the right three. Bluestar disagrees, insisting the third cat is already powerful, but is outvoted. When Jayfeather tries to speak to Ashfur in StarClan, Bluestar stops him from talking to the starry cat, and reaffirms Ashfur's place in StarClan, much to Jayfeather's astonishment. She later meets with several members of the Tribe of Endless Hunting, including their ancient leader Half Moon, to prepare for the final fight against the Dark Forest. She is joined by Midnight, a mysterious but all-knowing badger, and Rock, a spirit older than StarClan itself. After StarClan is reunited by the medicine cats, Bluestar participates in the Great Battle, and guides Firestar to StarClan after he has lost his final life.

A Vision of Shadows[]

"We can't warn them more than we have. How many times have we told them that they must face the future together?"
―Bluestar to Firestar about the Clans The Raging Storm, page 4
At a meeting of former leaders, Bluestar gently encourages Firestar to speak his mind, but Crookedstar cautions her against that. Rowanclaw joins them, and Bluestar questions if his son, Tigerstar, would challenge SkyClan's place at the lake. She warns about the downfall of one Clan being the destruction of all, including StarClan and their existence, and dryly wonders how many times the Clans need to be told that peace is the answer.

"You are fire, Bluepaw, and you will blaze through the forest. But beware! Even the most powerful flames can be destroyed by water."
―Goosefeather to Bluepaw foreseeing her destiny Bluestar's Prophecy, page 209
In Bluestar's Prophecy, Bluekit is born to Moonflower and Stormtail alongside her sister Snowkit. She soon becomes an apprentice called Bluepaw with Stonepelt as her mentor. She struggles to focus on her training after her mother is killed in battle, and Sunfall, her new mentor, reminds her of her duty to the Clan. Bluepaw also befriends Crookedpaw, but soon learns that friendship cannot last with cats from other Clans. Goosefeather gives her a prophecy foretelling her downfall by water. As a warrior, Bluefur meets Oakheart, a RiverClan warrior, and they fall for each other. When Snowfur dies on the Thunderpath, Bluefur resolves to look after her son, Whitekit, despite his father, Thistleclaw's, objections. She doubts Thistleclaw further after he goads Tigerpaw into attacking a defenseless kit. Bluefur trains Frostpaw, and agrees to meet Oakheart at Fourtrees. She learns that she is pregnant, and Thrushpelt offers to let the Clan think he is the father. Bluefur gives birth to three kits, Mistykit, Stonekit, and Mosskit, and after seeing a vision of Thistleclaw drenched in blood, she decides to give up her kits to RiverClan. Mosskit dies on the journey, and Bluefur is chosen as the new ThunderClan deputy and later becomes leader.
In Crookedstar's Promise, Bluepaw meets Crookedpaw at a Gathering, and the two joke around and share their dreams about becoming leaders of their Clans. They soon end up in battle at Sunningrocks, and with the help of Snowpaw, she beats him. At a later Gathering, they meet again as warriors. Bluepaw is now called Bluefur, and Crookedpaw has now been renamed to Crookedjaw. During a later visit to RiverClan, she meets Crookedjaw again, who is now deputy, as part of a patrol to take back Sunningrocks without a fight. After they leave, Ottersplash asks Crookedjaw if Oakheart had seemed rather friendly with Bluefur as she had seen Oakheart talking to the ThunderClan warrior on their way back. When his brother brings Mistykit and Stonekit to RiverClan's camp, Crookedstar asks Oakheart if they are his and Bluefur's children. Oakheart explains that Bluefur had given them up so she could be ThunderClan's deputy instead of Thistleclaw.

Novellas[]

«She could think of only one reason: so that Bluefur could leave the nursery and take over as Clan deputy instead of Thistleclaw. This was a measure of how much she loved her Clanmates, and how much she feared Thistleclaw, even without seeing him in the Dark Forest.»
—Spottedpaw's thoughts when Bluefur gives up her kits Spottedleaf's Heart, chapter 10
In Spottedleaf's Heart, she and Thistleclaw bicker about Whitepaw wasting feathers and Tigerpaw learning battle moves too advanced for his age. Spottedpaw witnesses Thistleclaw order Tigerpaw to attack a tiny kit trespassing, but Bluefur objects to the kit as a reasonable threat. Bluefur agrees with Stormtail that her father was feeling well to go on a patrol despite Spottedpaw's claims. When her father becomes suddenly ill, Bluefur cares for him and thanks Spottedpaw for saving him. Spottedpaw, now a medicine cat apprentice, assists Bluefur with the birth of her kits, and suspects that Thrushpelt was not their father. She tries to convince Bluefur not to lose hope when Thistleclaw is suspected of becoming the next deputy. She watches Bluefur sneak her kits out of camp and trusts her to do the right thing.
In Redtail's Debt, Bluefur leads a patrol to attack RiverClan, but they are attacked by a hawk while crossing the Twoleg bridge. She orders her patrol to hide, but Redtail is caught in the open, and Tigerclaw saves him. Bluefur becomes deputy, and Redtail notes how solemn she has become after losing her kits. During a raid on WindClan, Bluefur is gravely injured, and Redtail calls a retreat, much to Tigerclaw's dismay. Moons later, Redtail becomes Bluestar's deputy, and Bluestar is hesitant to fight for Sunningrocks with very few warriors available. However, Tigerclaw convinces her to send a small patrol to mark the border.

Quotes[]

Bluefur: "Enough, Thistleclaw! You've taught him a lesson. I'm sure he won't come back here again. Let him go."
Thistleclaw: "Traitor! You're a coward and a fool! I've never seen you once defend our borders. What kind of warrior are you? Do you know that RiverClan warrior?"
Bluefur: "He's called Oakheart. I've seen him at Gatherings."
Thistleclaw: "I didn't ask you if you knew who he was, I asked if you knew him. Better than the warrior code allows."
Bluefur: "Of course not."
Thistleclaw: "We need more patrols. It's too easy to invade. Too many invaders. Only fear will keep them out. We must mark the borders with the blood of our enemies."
—Thistleclaw confronting Bluefur Bluestar's Prophecy, page 459


Mosskit: "That's not fair! Thrushpelt said he caught it for us!"
Bluefur: "I'm your mother. If I say you've had enough to eat, then you have."
Stonekit: "That's not fair!"
Bluefur: "Life isn't fair."
—Bluefur arguing with her kits Spottedleaf's Heart, chapter 10


Spottedpaw: "Thistleclaw can't be that important to you! You have three other lives to think about now!"
Bluefur: "I love them so much. But I love my Clan, too. I could never wish they hadn't been born, but why now? What if my Clan needs me more than they do?"

"StarClan cares for every cat in the forest, from the blind, helpless kit to the oldest elder lying in the sun. We watch over them. We send omens and dreams to the medicine cats. But the storm was no doing of ours. Scourge and Tigerstar wade through blood to power because that is their nature. We watch, but we do not interfere. If we did, would you truly be free? Firestar, you and every cat have the choice of whether or not to follow the warrior code. You are not playthings of StarClan."
―Bluestar to Firestar about StarClan not ruling the forest The Darkest Hour, page 263


"Cats can learn to follow the warrior code, but they cannot always learn to have the compassion and courage that comes from faith."
