| "I stood up for my Clanmates once so that I could protect their future. I led the queens against a leader who believed kits should be trained before they were six moons. There comes a time when we must stand and fight." |

Daisytail is a light brown she-cat with ginger patches and blue eyes.[1]
History[]
In the Omen of the Stars arc[]
Night Whispers[]
- When Jayfeather walks in Kestrelflight's dream, Daisytail and Barkface convince Kestrelflight that the Clans must break all ties. She tells him about the time when she led the queens against the leaders to protect the kits who were too young to fight. She states that the Clans must stand alone, and that WindClan's previous leader, Tallstar, was blinded by his friendship with other Clans. She warns Kestrelflight not to tell the other medicine cats about what he had been told, and Barkface states that betrayal could come from anywhere.

Tallstar's Revenge[]
- "From then on, no kit was allowed to train for battle before they were six moons old. I would have taken on each of those ShadowClan warriors myself before I let my little one suffer a single blow. Even though you do not have kits of your own, Heatherstar, I want you to share the strength of my conviction. For your ninth life I give you for the force of a mother's love. Use it to protect your Clan. It is stronger than the wind and outlasts life itself."
- ―Daisytail to Heatherstar Tallstar's Revenge, page 2
- Daisytail then goes on to state that although Heatherstar did not have kits of her own, she desires to share the strength of her conviction, and for her ninth life, she gives her the force of a mother's love. She informs her to use it to protect her Clan, presses her muzzle to Heatherstar's head, and adds that it was stronger than wind, and outlasted life itself. Heatherstar rocks as a spasm grips her, making her lurch forward and stumble to her knees, and Hawkheart asks if she was okay, which Daisytail replies that she was strong, and that she could feel it, flicking her tail. Heatherstar promises to make WindClan a force to be respected, and Daisytail calls out to Heatherstar, stating that there was no power stronger than love.

Code of the Clans[]
- Hazelstar: "What are you saying? That we should never fight again? Do you really think that is how the Clans could live?"
- Daisytail: "No. I know battle is part of our life. It's what warriors train for. But they should only be asked to fight when they are old enough to stand a chance of winning. What is the point training kits so young that they'll be lost in their first conflict?"
- Code of the Clans, page 52
- Daisytail is an ancient WindClan queen. She watches her three-moon old kit, Specklepaw, train. She knows he is not old enough to even take on Adderpaw, a much older WindClan apprentice, who even purposely lets Specklepaw win, and fears for his safety in a real battle. She purrs at his accomplishment, and calls him her little nutkin. With more fears of what ShadowClan may do to him, Daisytail speaks to a fellow queen, Hawkfoot. She asks her if she'd let her kits go into battle, knowing that they'd face blood-thirsty ShadowClan warriors. Hawkfoot eventually understands and agrees with her, as her kits are too young. They plan to speak their real fears before the leaders yowl the beginning of the battle.
- When WindClan is just about to attack ShadowClan, Daisytail and Hawkfoot leap out and move between them. Oakleaf of ShadowClan joins them, along with some other queens, and Daisytail explains that their kits are too young to fight, and too young to be treated as warriors. Blizzardstar and Hazelstar exchange glances and let Daisytail speak her mind. She studies the apprentices, judging them on their size and age, then finally announces a new law to the warrior code - that a kit must be six moons old before it is apprenticed. Hazelstar agrees, saying it will be unwise to lose the future of their Clan. The ShadowClan leader, Blizzardstar also agrees to this new law and leaves, ending any possible fighting at the moment. As the battle is called off, Daisytail sees Specklepaw duck behind Adderpaw, embarrassed and frustrated. She silently promises him that he will have many more chances to fight, but only when he is ready, and comments that he is her little warrior.
