"I promise to be the strongest, wisest leader I can be. I will do my best to echo your loyalty to RiverClan and your courage to speak out on our behalf, and I will learn from your mistakes. I know that I don't need to prove to the other Clans that RiverClan is the strongest or most powerful. I just want my Clanmates to be happy and at peace." |
— Mistyfoot thinking about Leopardstar after her death in Mistystar's Omen, chapter 2 |
Mistystar is a lithe,[18] pale blue-gray she-cat[19] with thick,[10] sleek fur,[20] a pink nose,[21] a plumy tail,[22] and ice[23]-blue eyes.[10]
Mistystar is the current leader of RiverClan in the lake territories. She was born as Mistykit to Bluefur and Oakheart alongside her siblings, Stonekit and Mosskit. She was initially raised in ThunderClan by Bluefur and Thrushpelt; however, Bluefur gave her kits to Oakheart in RiverClan, and thereafter, she was raised by Graypool. After completing her apprenticeship, she became a warrior as Mistyfoot, and had Blackclaw's kits, Reedwhisker, Pikepaw, Primrosepaw, and Perchkit.
Mistyfoot became a mentor to Featherpaw and was taken prisoner in TigerClan by Tigerstar for being half-Clan, and after Stonefur was killed, she escaped to ThunderClan with Featherpaw and Stormpaw. She was made deputy by Leopardstar and served her Clan for many moons, mentoring Mothwing and Dapplenose. Mistyfoot became leader as Mistystar and chose Reedwhisker as her deputy; however, she faced problems with Mothwing and her belief in StarClan, but in the end, she accepted her as a medicine cat. Following the Kin's defeat, Mistystar closed her borders, but reopened them when a fire required her Clan to be rescued. When Bramblestar's impostor began punishing codebreakers, Mistystar exiled Mothwing, and after a battle, she exiled Icewing and Harelight.

The Prophecies Begin
- "Stonefur, Stonefur. What will I do without you?"
- ―Mistyfoot mourning the death of her brother The Darkest Hour, page chapter 16
- Ultimately, it is revealed to her and Stonefur that Bluestar, the current leader of ThunderClan, is their true mother, and the two refute the claim initially. They eventually accept Bluestar as their mother shortly before her death and forgive her. Tigerstar, having witnessed the revelation, imprisons Mistyfoot, Stonefur, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw, as the four are half-Clan. Stonefur is killed while Firestar, Graystripe, and Ravenpaw help Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw escape to ThunderClan. She participates in the battle against BloodClan, and Leopardstar makes her deputy in place of Stonefur, as she feels guilty over Stonefur's death and believes Mistyfoot would do the job well.
The New Prophecy
- "Hawkfrost, I've already told you what a mouse-brain idea it is to camp on the island. Warriors can swim over there, yes, but what about kits and elders? And what if something happens to the fish in the lake? We'd never be able to carry fresh-kill across from the shore."
- ―Mistyfoot arguing with Hawkfrost about RiverClan's camp Starlight, pages 140-141
Power of Three
- "We're not eating rabbit, if that's what you're worried about!"
- ―Mistyfoot to Crowfeather when RiverClan moves to the island Dark River, page 137
Omen of the Stars
- "You...you don't believe in StarClan? But you've been our medicine cat for so long! Have you never walked with StarClan in your dreams?"
- ―Mistystar discovering Mothwing doesn't believe in StarClan Fading Echoes, page chapter 2
A Vision of Shadows
- "I wish you all well. But this is RiverClan's last Gathering for a while. We will stay on our land and rebuild what was destroyed by the rogues. But the Clans can make decisions without us for now. RiverClan needs time. We need peace, and we need to look inward to heal the wounds that have been inflicted on us. From tonight, I am closing our borders."
- ―Mistystar deciding to close RiverClan's borders Darkest Night, pages 32-33
The Broken Code
- "I believed that you were loyal RiverClan warriors. Yet in the battle I saw you fighting against your Clan. You disobeyed my orders. Even now that I know the false Bramblestar was evil, I must send you into exile."
- ―Mistystar exiling Harelight and Icewing Veil of Shadows, page 286
Super Editions

- In Bluestar's Prophecy, Mistykit is born to Bluefur in ThunderClan alongside Stonekit and Mosskit. Thrushpelt is believed to be their true father instead of Oakheart of RiverClan. In order to prevent Thistleclaw's brutal reign of ThunderClan, Bluefur takes her kits out in the snow to give to Oakheart. Mosskit dies along the way, and Bluefur gives Mistykit and Stonekit to Oakheart. Bluefur watches them grow up as she is appointed deputy and then leader of ThunderClan.
- In Crookedstar's Promise, Oakheart finds two kits lost and presumes a loner abandoned them. Crookedstar agrees to let them stay, and Graypool raises them as her own. Later, Crookedstar finds out that the kits are Oakheart and Bluefur's, but doesn't say anything. Later, the two become warriors, Mistyfoot and Stonefur.
Novellas
This section summarizes Mistystar's significant Novellas appearances. If you're looking for a full list, find one here!
- In Mistystar's Omen, Mistyfoot remains at Leopardstar's side as she dies, leaving Mistyfoot as leader. She names Reedwhisker her deputy. Mistyfoot and Mothwing journey to the Moonpool where Mistyfoot is reunited with her family and receives her nine lives. Mistystar discovers Mothwing did not join her, and Mothwing reveals she does not believe in StarClan. She confronts Willowshine who reveals she knew about Mothwing's lack of faith, but insists it did not make Mothwing any less of a medicine cat. Enraged by being lied to, Mistystar demotes Mothwing to an elder. Hollowpaw and Rushpaw are captured by Twolegs, and Mistystar and Reedwhisker run to rescue them. Reedwhisker is gravely injured by dogs, and Mistystar orders Willowshine to heal him; however, she cannot do it alone. Stonefur appears to Mistystar, and he sends her a sign of a moth coming out of its cocoon to fly away, hinting Mistystar should trust Mothwing to act alone. Mistystar apologizes to Mothwing and acknowledges and respects her medical abilities.

- Forest of Secrets, page 54
- "Leopardstar says that they're staying with us so the Clans can exchange training methods and fighting techniques, but I don't see much sign of it.
