Bluestar
Leader of ThunderClan before Firestar, Bluestar was a proud and deeply committed warrior. Once known as Bluefur, her early life was scarred by tragedy. Her mother was killed in a raid on WindClan and soon after, her sister, Snowfur, died on the Thunderpath. Isolated in her grief for her own Clanmates, Bluefur fell in love with a RiverClan warrior named Oakheart, but their brief relationship ended when Bluefur realized that she could not be loyal to ThunderClan while her heart lay elsewhere. Unbeknownst to Bluefur, she was already expecting Oakheart's kits.
Bluefur paid the highest possible price for leadership, giving up her three tiny kits to become deputy instead of Thistleclaw, whom she feared would destroy ThunderClan with his dark-hearted ambition. Oakheart raised Stonefur and Mistyfoot, the two kits who survived, in his own Clan. Bluefur told her Clan that her kits had been stolen by a starving badger, and then over came her sadness to become deputy and leader as she had hoped.
When Bluestar was an apprentice, the ThunderClan medicine cat delivered a prophecy to her: "You will blaze through the forest like fire; only water can destroy you." During her leadership, as ThunderClan struggled against its rivals, Bluestar looked to another source of fire--the red-pelted kittypet Rusty--to save her beloved Clan. But Bluestar's murderous deputy Tigerclaw continued to rage against ThunderClan even after becoming leader of ShadowClan. He set a pack of ravenous dogs to raid the camp, and Bluestar gave up her ninth life to lead the dogs over the edge of the gorge dying for the last time in water, just as Goosefeather had foretold. StarClan showed enough mercy that Stonefur and Mistyfoot found Bluestar on RiverClan's shore, and her final moments were spent making peace with her children before she went to join her lost daughter, Mosskit, in StarClan.
