{{Charcat/Tigerstar (AVoS)}}

'''Tigerstar''' is a dark brown tabby tom{{r|po6|a}} with amber eyes.{{r|po5|196}} 

'''Tigerstar''' is the current [[leader]] of [[ShadowClan]] in [[the lake territories]]. He was born as '''Tigerkit''' to [[Rowanclaw]] and [[Tawnypelt]] alongside his littermates, [[Dawnpelt|Dawnkit]] and [[Flametail|Flamekit]]. Although he was [[Apprentice|apprenticed]] to [[Oakfur]], '''Tigerpaw''' stayed in [[ThunderClan]] with [[Brackenfur]] serving as his temporary [[mentor]] while ShadowClan was under [[Sol|Sol's]] influence; however, he went back to ShadowClan following Sol's banishment. After becoming a [[warrior]], '''Tigerheart''' was chosen to go on a [[Journey to the beaver dam|journey]] and became close to [[Dovewing]], often meeting her at night thereafter. Despite training in [[The Place of No Stars (residence)|the Dark Forest]], Tigerheart fought for the [[General Clan information|Clans]] during [[The Great Battle (TLH)|the Great Battle]], and soon after, Dovewing broke things off with him.

He mentored [[Sleekwhisker]] and became [[deputy]] after [[Crowfrost]] died, but struggled to uphold his father's demands of him. He sought refuge in ThunderClan when [[Darktail]] took over ShadowClan and became close with Dovewing again, whom was expecting his [[Kit|kits]] after the defeat of [[the Kin]]. Tigerheart followed Dovewing to [[the guardian cats]], and they had three kits, [[Shadowsight|Shadowkit]], [[Pouncestep|Pouncekit]], and [[Lightleap|Lightkit]]. He journeyed back to [[the lake]]; however, he was fatally [[Diseases and injuries#Wounds|wounded]] by an [[Owl (creature)|owl]] and joined [[StarClan]]. Tigerheart was resurrected at the [[Moonpool]] as '''Tigerstar''', receiving his [[Leadership ceremony|nine lives]] and revitalized ShadowClan. He worked against [[Ashfur (TC)|Bramblestar's impostor]], assisting with [[the rebels]], and although he almost killed the impostor, Tigerstar imprisoned him after [[Battle for ShadowClan (VoS)|the battle]] and was vocal about killing him when his identity was revealed. He and Dovewing later had another litter of kits, [[Rowankit (ASC)|Rowankit]] and [[Birchpaw (ASC)|Birchkit]]. Following Rowankit's death from lack of [[Medicine|catmint]] and RiverClan's leadership troubles, Tigerstar forcibly took RiverClan under his wing to lead them until they could find a proper leader. This decision led to widespread criticism from all the Clans until Tigerstar left the position and [[Splashtail]] became RiverClan's leader, when Tigerstar found himself and ShadowClan the target of RiverClan's revenge, spearheaded by the new leader. Tigerstar worked with the other Clans to rid RiverClan of Splashtail and his influence, eventually resulting in Splashtail's death and the start of bettering relations between RiverClan and ShadowClan.

:Tigerkit is born to Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw, along with his brother Flamekit and his sister Dawnkit in ShadowClan. He is apprenticed to Oakfur; however, during his apprenticeship, ShadowClan is taken over by Sol and loses faith in [[StarClan]], forcing Tawnypelt take her kits to ThunderClan, where Tigerpaw is apprenticed to Brackenfur. He also meets his uncle, the ThunderClan deputy, [[Brambleclaw]]. He, his siblings, [[Lionblaze]], [[Hollyleaf]], and [[Jayfeather|Jaypaw]] create a fake sign to make [[Blackstar]] believe in StarClan again, which is successful, allowing Tigerpaw to return to ShadowClan soon afterwards.

:He becomes a warrior with the name Tigerheart and is chosen by Blackstar to go with [[Toadfoot]] to investigate the cause of the [[The Long Dry|drought]] along with six other warriors from the other Clans. During this time, he forms a relationship with the ThunderClan apprentice Dovepaw, and she falls for him. After returning to the Clans, he sneaks out of [[camp]] at night to meet Dovepaw and is eventually revealed to be training in the Place of No Stars under the guidance of [[Brokenstar]] and [[Tigerstar (TPB)|Tigerstar]], his grandfather. Tigerheart forms an uneasy relationship with [[Ivypool|Ivypaw]], Dovepaw's sister, who is also training in the Dark Forest. His brother, Flametail, drowns in the lake, and Tigerheart stands with Dawnpelt as she believes Jayfeather drowned their littermate. Eventually, the Dark Forest attacks the Clans, and Tigerheart chooses to side with his Clan. Dovewing says their relationship cannot continue due to them being of different Clans, and Tigerheart sadly accepts this.

{{Quote
|quote=Tigerstar only cares about what's best for Tigerstar. [...] He abandoned his Clan and kin when they needed him. Then he came back when it suited him. And his mate is no better. Dovewing broke the warrior code and had kits with a warrior from another Clan, and then left her own Clan to be with him and took her kits with her. [...] A leader is supposed to set an example for their Clan. What kind of example has Tigerstar set?
|speaker=Sandynose to Frecklewish, Mintfur, and Violetshine about Tigerstar
|source=''[[The Raging Storm]]'', page 27}}
:His father becomes the leader of ShadowClan, and Tigerheart trains an apprentice, Sleekpaw. Upon the death of Crowfrost to [[Diseases and injuries#Chest infections|yellowcough]], Tigerheart is appointed deputy in his place, although he, Tawnypelt, and Rowanstar leave for ThunderClan when Darktail takes over ShadowClan. He plays a pivotal role in driving out the Kin, though when ShadowClan is reinstated, he leaves to be with Dovewing, who he had reconciled with and is expecting his kits. His departure causes Rowanstar to disband ShadowClan to join [[SkyClan]].

:Tigerheart returns to the Clans and reforms ShadowClan as its new leader. During his time away, Dovewing gave birth to their kits, Lightkit, Pouncekit, and Shadowkit, and he also brings [[Blazefire|Blaze]], [[Antfur|Ant]], and [[Cinnamontail|Cinnamon]], three [[Twolegplace]] cats, to become warriors, as well as several missing ShadowClan cats. Tigerstar takes on an aggressive stance against the other Clans in an effort to make ShadowClan strong and respected again, causing [[ShadowClan-SkyClan conflict|a conflict]]. He dismisses claims about his deputy, [[Juniperclaw]], [[Diseases and injuries#Poisoning|poisoning]] SkyClan's [[prey]], and after Juniperclaw's death, he appoints [[Cloverfoot]] as his new deputy.

{{Quote
|quote=The time has come to attack! Getting rid of that mangy interloper is worth the risk. We can never be sure we're strong enough, but this is the right thing to do, even if we may not win! We are warriors! Are we afraid of a cat who doesn't even have his own body?
|speaker=Tigerstar to the rebels
|source=''[[Veil of Shadows]]'', page 236}}
:During a harsh leaf-bare, Shadowpaw receives terrible visions about [[codebreakers]] and is troubled when his mother is accused of being one. Tigerstar reveals to his son that Dovewing did break [[The warrior code|the code]] to be with him, but insists Dovewing's true place is in ShadowClan. He grows angry when the other Clans refuse to allow ShadowClan to take part in freeing the Moonpool because of Shadowpaw and often confides with [[Puddleshine]], Cloverfoot, and Tawnypelt. His son also receives [[Prophecies and omens/The Broken Code#Tigerstar and Bramblestar fight|a vision]] about the Clans fighting with Tigerstar and Bramblestar viciously attacking each other.

:He is proud of his son when he receives his full name and becomes annoyed and angry when Bramblestar demands Tigerstar punish his codebreakers. Tigerstar refuses to conform to Bramblestar's bullying and later learns from [[Squirrelstar|Squirrelflight]] that Bramblestar is an impostor and is shown the true Bramblestar's [[ghost]] from [[Rootspring|Rootpaw]]. Convinced, Tigerstar rallies ShadowClan against the impostor and gives Squirrelflight a place in ShadowClan. After more and more cats are exiled, Tigerstar finds an ally in [[Leafstar]] and helps her and Squirrelflight spearhead the resistance. During a [[Battles|battle]] instigated by the impostor, Tigerstar publicly exposes him and fights him one-on-one, nearly killing him before having him imprisoned in ShadowClan. After the impostor is revealed to be Ashfur, Tigerstar advocates for the dark warrior's death, insisting that killing him would help bring StarClan back. Squirrelflight fights against his decision until [[the Sisters]] fail to summon Bramblestar's [[ghost]], proving to many that the leader is lost forever. The Clan leaders hold a vote on whether to kill Ashfur or not, and Tigerstar, [[Harestar]], and Leafstar vote to kill him. However, when they arrive at Ashfur's den, Ashfur manages to escape before they can kill him. Tigerstar begrudgingly allows Shadowsight to enter the Dark Forest to defeat Ashfur and save his friends, and after Bramblestar's return and Ashfur's defeat, Bramblestar thanks Tigerstar for his dedication.

{{Quote
|quote=I am ''not'' the first Tigerstar. I'm nothing like him, and I don't want to take over RiverClan. ShadowClan doesn't need more mouths to feed. We don't ''want'' them. In past, we've given sanctuary to cats driven out of their Clans, but we've always been happy to let them return home once it was safe. And RiverClan is clearly struggling. They've lost their leader and deputy, and it looks like their attempts to find proper replacements are floundering. All I am offering is help for a Clan that seems incapable of helping itself.
|speaker=Tigerstar about leader RiverClan temporarily
|source=''[[Sky (book)|Sky]]'', pages 219-220}}
:He and Dovewing have a new litter of kits, Rowankit and Birchkit. Tigerstar and Dovewing repeatedly scold their daughter Lightleap for her increasing reckless behavior, and Tigerstar warning to [[Sunbeam]] to not cause trouble results in Sunbeam becoming hesitant to tell Tigerstar anything. When Rowankit falls ill with greencough and ShadowClan's supply of catmint dangerously low, Tigerstar sends patrols to the other four Clans for catmint. However, the other Clans also don't have enough catmint to spare, so the medicine cats organize a patrol to fetch some beyond the Clans' borders. However, Rowankit dies shortly after Sunbeam and Lightleap arrive with catmint, and Tigerstar and Dovewing mourn the loss of their son. When Tigerstar learns of Mistystar's and Reedwhisker's deaths and [[Owlnose|Owlnose's]] failure to receive nine lives from StarClan, he offers to lead the Clan temporarily until they can find their footing, though his offer is greatly unpopular with the other Clans. However, Tigerstar eventually takes RiverClan by force, insisting it is for their own good.

|source=''[[Tigerheart's Shadow]]'', pages 292-293}}
:In '''''[[Tigerheart's Shadow]]''''', after ShadowClan is restored after [[The Kin's campaign|the Kin's rule]], Tigerheart feels torn between supporting Rowanstar and trying to lead his Clanmates, as they had only seemed to take orders from him. The reveal of Dovewing's plight to give birth to their kits away from the Clans and Puddleshine’s terrible [[Prophecies and omens/Super Editions#Tigerheart's Shadow|visions]] forces Tigerheart to leave ShadowClan. He finds Dovewing with the guardian cats in a Twolegplace where she gives birth to Shadowkit, Pouncekit, and Lightkit. Tigerheart works with [[Fierce]] and takes on a more leadership role during his experience away from ShadowClan.  

:Tigerheart realizes that Puddleshine's visions were fore sighting him as the true leader of ShadowClan and decides to take his family back to the Clans. Some of the guardian cats, Spire, Blaze, Ant, and Cinnamon, join him. On their way back, Tigerheart discovers [[Buster|Rippletail]], [[Berryheart]], Cloverfoot, and [[Sparrowtail]] hiding in a [[Twoleg nest]], and he convinces them to return to ShadowClan with his [[patrol]]. Along the way, Tigerheart is killed by an owl after saving [[Hollowspring|Hollowkit]] by suffering critical internal injuries, and he joins StarClan. However, Rowanclaw, now dead, informs his son that he is still needed in the living world, and after the patrol carries Tigerheart's body to the Moonpool, Tigerheart is resurrected with eight lives to reinstate ShadowClan, becoming Tigerstar. After being revived, Tigerstar is reunited with his family and Clanmates and leads them home.

:In '''''[[Squirrelflight's Hope]]''''', Tigerstar's attitude is making it uneasy for Bramblestar to try and keep relations peaceful between the Clans, and Tigerstar aims to expand his territory so his cats have enough to eat. When [[Stonewing]] and Strikestone are attacked by the Sisters, and Strikestone permanently maimed by them, Tigerstar grows livid and demands that the group be driven out in retaliation, as well as the territory they occupy would be beneficial for SkyClan. He helps lead the Clans in the [[battle against the Sisters]], but when he realizes there are kits, he attempts to call off the attack, to no avail. When the Sisters leave, Tigerstar is content with the rearranged [[Border|borders]].

|source=''[[Tawnypelt's Clan]]'', chapter 10}}
:In '''''[[Tawnypelt's Clan]]''''', Tigerstar appoints Tawnypelt as his deputy. She struggles to adjust to the new ShadowClan under Tigerstar's leadership. When Shadowkit has violent seizures accompanied by terrible visions of the [[The Tribe of Rushing Water|Tribe of Rushing Water's]] destruction, Tawnypelt firmly believes Shadowkit is meant to go there. However, Tigerstar refuses, and Tawnypelt accuses him of not listening to any cat and acting like the original Tigerstar. While in [[the mountains]], Rowanclaw appears to Tawnypelt in a dream and urges her to let Tigerstar find his footing as leader. After they return to the Clans, Tawnypelt steps down as Tigerstar's deputy, believing her son will need a younger deputy if ShadowClan is to survive the changes.
