When does Darkflower die?
There is a discrepancy on when Darkflower died. While Darkflower is shown as alive in "Tigerclaw's Fury" and in the allegiances for "A Dangerous Path" after Tigerstar appears as ShadowClan's new leader, Darkflower appears in "The Ultimate Guide" in StarClan at Tigerstar's leadership ceremony. However, this was changed in "The Ultimate Guide: Updated and Expanded Edition," and Darkflower is removed from the nine lives ceremony.
