"Without ShadowClan, there can be no ThunderClan, no WindClan, no RiverClan, no SkyClan. Five Clans or none. ShadowClan needs you, Tigerheart. It's not your time to die. You have to go back."
— Spiresight to Tigerheart in Tigerheart's Shadow, page 400


Spiresight is a small,[9] ragged,[10] skinny black tom[8] with yellow eyes.[11]

Spire was a healer of the guardian cats. As a healer, the other cats often noted that he sometimes had weird dreams. He became friends with the former ShadowClan deputy Tigerheart, and accompanied him on his patrol back to ShadowClan. On the journey, he sacrificed his life to save Pouncekit, and was renamed by Tigerheart to Spiresight in honor of his memory. Spiresight later went to StarClan and convinced Tigerheart to receive his nine lives. Later, Spiresight appeared as a ghost to guide Shadowsight from the brink of death. However, Ashfur took possession of his spirit and trapped him in the Dark Forest. Spiresight was forced to fight for Ashfur, but after the dark warrior's death, Spiresight found peace in StarClan.

The Broken Code[]

"Listen to him. He has us all-he'll force us to-"
―Spiresight to Shadowsight Darkness Within, page 315
Spiresight, as a ghost, helps Shadowsight when the latter is nearly killed by Bramblestar's impostor. He manages to alert Rootspring to Shadowsight's location, saving the young medicine cat's life. Later, Spiresight appears during the Sisters summoning ceremony, and when Rootspring asks him what's happening to all the ghosts, Spiresight just stares at him as if pleading for him understand before opening his mouth in a piercing wail of pain. When Shadowsight confronts Ashfur as the leaders are coming to kill the impostor, the dark warrior reveals that he has Spiresight under his power, and allows the black tom to talk to Shadowsight through Bramblestar's body for a moment.

Warning: Rippletail's appearances in Tigerheart's Shadow are a mistake as confirmed by Kate Cary and further installments in the canon. Slatefur was meant to be in the patrol traveling with Tigerheart.
"It's not important that I belong. It is important that I make the journey."
―Spire Tigerheart's Shadow, page 300
In Tigerheart's Shadow, Spire is one of the healers for the guardian cats and is often accompanied by Blaze, a young kit whom he looks after. Spire is noted to be rather weird and often draws images in the dirt. As Tigerheart begins to get to know him, Spire informs him that Tigerheart's rightful place is back in ShadowClan, and accompanies the dark tabby on his trek back to ShadowClan, where he leads the patrol with his visions. However, he dies saving Pouncekit, Tigerheart's daughter, and Tigerheart gives him a warrior name in his memory, renaming him Spiresight. Spiresight is later seen in StarClan. There he convinces Tigerheart to return to his clanmates, by accepting a leadership ceremony.

Personality and traits[]

Spiresight is a strange tom. He has visions and omens from StarClan very often, even though he is not a Clan cat. His visions sound crazy, and many cats think he is odd. But his premonitions end up aiding Tigerheart greatly on his journey, and the cats with him begin to appreciate Spiresight. Many cats are lost and dismayed when he suddenly dies.[source?]

Relationships[]

Blazefire[]

Blazefire was Spiresight's helper, and hung around him all the time. Spiresight lets Blazefire help and support him, and Blazefire is proud of Spiresight's abilities.[12]
