5. RiverClan Cats
5. Wind and ShadowClan Cats
Tallstar from WindClan Tallstar had a pelt that was the color black and white and he was from WindClan. He is most known for his wish of Onewhisker becoming clan leader instead of the too harmful deputy. This is very important because he broke the Warrior Code while doing this act. When Tallstar was a kit, WindClan was divided among tunnelers and moor runners. The tunnelers obviously tunneled under the moor and they used this to catch more prey and as escape routes if in battle. Tallstar’s parents were both tunnelers and they wanted Tallstar or Tallkit at the time, to follow in their footsteps. But Tallkit wanted to be a moor runner but he never told anyone. Heatherstar, the leader at the time, saw him doing moor runner like things such as working on your hunter crouch. Because of this, Heatherstar made Tallkit a moor runner and the tunnelers did not like this because they did not have as many cats as they should have. ALl moor runners have to have a day in the tunnelers just in case they have to go there during a a battle or for extra hunting etc.. There was a cave in and when Heatherstar found out, she closed up that tunnel. Sandgorse, Sandgorse blamed Tallpaw, now Talltail, for this and was angry at him. When some visitors came to their camp Sandgorse showed one of them the tunnel. The cat he showed name was Sparrow. Sandgorse died because the tunnel collapsed and Talltail blamed him. He then went out to find Sparrow and get revenge. On the way he met a cat named Jake and they became friends. Jake tried to convince Talltail not to kill Sparrow but Talltail ignored hi. When Talltail was about to kill him his common sense and Jake’s words came over him and he instead saved Sparrow. He then went back to his clan and went on to become deputy and then leader. But when a certain kittypet named Rusty joined ThunderClan, Talltail, now Tallstar, saw Jake in that kittypet and memories were thrown at him. When Tallstar died and went to StarClan, a rare thing happened. Jake, a kittypet, actually guided him to StarClan. Tigerstar from ShadowClan Tigerstar had dark brown fur and is most known for his plans to destroy the clans. Originally from ThunderClan, when he was a kit he was the weakest of his litter but came out afterwards the strongest. Even when he was a kit, some cats thought he was a bad influence for other kits. Thistleclaw is made Tigerstar's mentor when he is six moons old. When Tigerpaw, Thistleclaw, and Bluefur find a kittypet on ThunderClan territory during a patrol, Bluefur notices he's only a kit and is no threat, but Thistleclaw insists that an intruder is an intruder, and then asks Tigerpaw what he thinks, Tigerpaw in return answers that they must teach the kit a lesson. Tigerpaw begins brutally attacking the kit. Bluefur sees that Tigerpaw would kill the kit if he wasn't stopped, Bluefur makes him stop, saying that the kit had learned its lesson and that warriors do not need to kill in order to win their battles. When he becomes a warrior he is very eager to fight battles and would fight for fun if he had too. When a kittypet whose name is Rusty comes into the forest, Bluestar invites him into the clan and she trains him. His warrior name was Fireheart. When he was deputy of ThunderClan he tried to kill Bluestar but Fireheart stopped him. Tigerclaw was banished from ThunderClan and Fireheart took his place. In A Dangerous Path Bluestar dies and Fireheart becomes Firestar later in the book. Tigerstar goes over to ShadowClan and becomes leader there. The only reason ShadowClan did this and ShadowClan, StarClan cats allowed this was because ShadowClan wanted to be the greatest clan of all and they thought Tigerstar could make them that. But really Tigerstar just wanted to get revenge on Firestar. Tigerstar’s plan failed because once again, Firestar saw what Tigerstar was doing before he was supposed too. Tigerstar decides to bring in a group of bloodthirsty rogues called BloodClan into the forest and says that they can take over the forest together. The leader of Bloodclan was a traitor to Tigerstar and he killed him with his famous single swipe which killed nine of the major organs: because of this Tigerstar lost all of his 9 lives. Tigerstar started to train cats from the cans in the Dark Forest, in preparation for a huge battle with the Clans. Firestar ended up killing Tigerstar for good and Firestar also died during this.
