"I know you don't trust me. I don't deserve your trust. But I will try to show you that you can count on me. Once I choose my allies, I am willing to die for them. For all my mistakes, I never betrayed [One Eye]. And, if you trust me, I will never betray you." |
— Star Flower to Clear Sky in A Forest Divided, page 148 |
Star Flower is a golden tabby she-cat with a white chest and paws.[15] She has green eyes[16] with star-like pupils.[17]
Star Flower was an ancient SkyClan warrior under Skystar's leadership in the forest territories. She was born to One Eye and an unnamed queen. When she first met the moor cats, she and Thunder grew very close. She showed them a new herb, the Blazing Star, which was used to cure an illness infecting the groups. However, Star Flower betrayed Thunder and his group's plans to One Eye, breaking Thunder's heart. Star Flower was devastated by One Eye's death, but didn't hold a grudge against his killers. Clear Sky let her join his camp and fell in love with her. She soon became pregnant with his kits, but was kidnapped by Slash. After she was rescued, Star Flower gave birth to Dew Petal, Flower Foot, and Tiny Branch. Her son, Tiny Branch, was killed by a fox, and afterward she was expecting a second litter. After her death, she ascended to StarClan.
