"Owlnose is right. If all the Clans are making suggestions to StarClan about how to depose a leader, then surely we should think about the decisions we'll make if we find ourselves without a leader or deputy." |
— Nightsky when RiverClan is without leadership in River, page 121 |
Nightsky is a dark gray she-cat with blue eyes.[6]
Nightsky is a RiverClan warrior who has served under Mistystar's, Owlnose's, Tigerstar's, and Splashtail's leaderships in the lake territories. She was born as Nightkit in Icewing and Mintfur's second litter alongside her sister Breezeheart. As an apprentice, Nightpaw was mentored by Shimmerpelt and earned her warrior name of Nightsky. When Mistystar and Reedwhisker's deaths leave RiverClan without a leader, Nightsky is anxious not to let the other Clans know and doubts that Owlnose should be RiverClan's new leader.
