Firestar is a bright flame-colored tabby tom with emerald-green eyes.
Firestar was a leader of ThunderClan in the forest and the lake territories. He was prophesied as the "fire to save ThunderClan." He was born to Jake and Nutmeg, and lived as a kittypet named Rusty. He joined ThunderClan as an apprentice, receiving the name of Firepaw, and was mentored by Lionheart and Tigerclaw before being assigned to Bluestar. Fireheart earned his warrior name, and ascended to deputyship after Tigerclaw's banishment. He also mentored Cinderpelt before she got injured on the Thunderpath and had to switch to becoming a medicine cat, his sister, Princess's son, Cloudtail, and Tigerclaw and Goldenflower's son, Brambleclaw. After Bluestar's death, he rose to leader as Firestar appointing Whitestorm as his second-in-command. He later passed the role to Graystripe upon the white deputy's death during the battle against BloodClan, and defeated Scourge. Firestar became mates with Sandstorm, and they went on a journey to rebuild SkyClan. They were successful, and upon their return, had two daughters together: Leafpool and Squirrelstar.
The Prophecies Begin
«There was a deeply buried mystery surrounding these cats, and he was beginning to feel that it might be beyond his power to ever understand it.» —Fireheart thinking about Bluestar, Stonefur, and Mistyfoot Forest of Secrets, page 88 Rusty is a kittypet and is intrigued by the forest outside his Twolegplace. After being invited to join ThunderClan to learn the ways of the wild, he receives the name Firepaw and befriends Graypaw and Ravenpaw. Firepaw is assigned to Lionheart and Tigerclaw for training, but Bluestar later takes him as her apprentice. He develops a friendship with Yellowfang after finding her in the forest, and is happy to see her become ThunderClan's medicine cat after Spottedleaf's death. However, after Tigerclaw is named deputy after Lionheart's death, Ravenpaw reveals that Tigerclaw murdered Redtail in hopes of becoming deputy, and Firepaw and Graypaw guide Ravenpaw to live at Barley's farm for his protection. After driving the treacherous Brokenstar out of ShadowClan, he is given the warrior name Fireheart. Along with his best friend Graystripe, Fireheart guides WindClan back home, and helps RiverClan when their territory floods. Fireheart is given Cinderpaw as an apprentice, but the she-cat gets injured on the Thunderpath in one of Tigerclaw's schemes. He finishes Brackenpaw's training for Graystripe, as his friend is off seeing Silverstream. Fireheart is given his nephew Cloudpaw as an apprentice, and struggles to rein his flippancy towards the warrior code. Tigerclaw's treachery is revealed to the Clan during a foiled attack on Bluestar's life, and Fireheart is made deputy in wake of his banishment. He attempts to hold a fragile ThunderClan together as Bluestar's judgement and faith in StarClan falters, and ThunderClan seeks help from RiverClan when a fire ravages their camp. Fireheart also mentors Tigerclaw's son Bramblepaw, but struggles not to see his father's shadow. Upon learning that Tigerstar, now leader of ShadowClan, plans to lure a pack of dogs to ThunderClan's camp, Fireheart rallies his Clanmates to lead the dogs to the gorge, with Bluestar saving Fireheart's life. Upon Bluestar's death, Fireheart ascends to leader as Firestar and gains his nine lives, but is warned of blood ruling the forest. He appoints Whitestorm as his deputy, and together they rebuild the Clan. Tigerstar joins ShadowClan and RiverClan to form TigerClan and brings BloodClan to the forest in hopes of destroying ThunderClan and WindClan. However, their leader Scourge kills him and threatens to take control of the forest for himself. Firestar forms the four Clans into LionClan, and together they are able to drive BloodClan from the forest. Whitestorm dies during the battle, and Firestar appoints Graystripe as ThunderClan's new deputy.
The New Prophecy
"Loyalty is what matters, and that exists now, not in the past. Loyalty has to be proved every day, in every piece of fresh-kill brought back for the Clan, every claw mark on our enemies, every patrol, every training session." ―Firestar Sunset, page 240 Firestar and his mate Sandstorm have had two daughters, Squirrelpaw and Leafpaw. He becomes concerned when Cinderpelt reveals a prophecy concerning the kin of fire and tiger, along with danger. However, his attempts to keep Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw apart because of it simply spur them further into leaving on a journey. Firestar, not knowing where they are, is devastated by the loss. Twoleg monsters begin to destroy the forest, and the leader struggles to keep his Clan well-fed. Brambleclaw and Squirrelpaw return from their journey and bring the news that StarClan has a plan for them to move to a new home. While the other Clans are resistant, Firestar agrees they should go - when all four Clans travel together. After the destruction of ShadowClan's camp, the four Clans start the Great Journey. The Tribe of Rushing Water assists them over the mountains, and they eventually arrive at the lake territories. Firestar helps ThunderClan settle into their new territory, and supports Onewhisker's leadership during Mudclaw's rebellion. Badgers attack ThunderClan's camp and heavily damage it, and the leader welcomes Stormfur and Brook when they wish to stay and help. ShadowClan tries to take advantage of ThunderClan's weakness and take territory, but are beaten off. Firestar accepts the loss of Graystripe and appoints Brambleclaw as deputy. Brambleclaw struggles on what to do when he is offered the chance to kill Firestar and take leadership for himself, but ultimately does his former mentor proud by saving his leader.
Power of Three
"Surely it is our struggle against hardship that makes us true warriors. You think fresh blood in the Clans will weaken us? A life without hardship will weaken us more." ―Firestar to Blackstar at the Gathering The Sight, page 335 Firestar continues to lead ThunderClan and makes his grandchildren, Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw, into apprentices. Graystripe finds his way back to the Clans, and the leader ultimately decides to keep Brambleclaw as deputy. Two cats from the Tribe of Rushing Water come for Stormfur and Brook, and he releases them once he hears why they need help. He sends Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight along with them, along with Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Jaypaw. Later, Firestar defends ThunderClan's borders, and devises a plan to keep WindClan from continuing to cross the border. He and a patrol cave in a tunnel the rival Clan's been using to trespass, and several fights across the forest soon ensue. A Great Battle ensnares all four Clans, and is only stopped by an eclipse of the sun. The Clan is struck by a greencough plague that infects a large part of ThunderClan. Firestar has the ill cats move to the abandoned Twoleg nest to keep it contained, and while catmint is eventually found to cure it, he loses a life before that. After the mystifying murder of Ashfur, he sends a patrol to track down Sol, believing him the killer. They find him and bring him to camp, but no evidence is found. However, once they return, Hollyleaf reveals at a Gathering that her parents are Leafpool and Crowfeather. Firestar is shocked, but insists the Clan needs to stay strong despite this.
