The Last Hope

This section needs expansion. You can help the Warriors Wiki by adding more info.

After Dawnpelt's outburst at a previous Gathering, Firestar temporarily bans Jayfeather from future Gatherings- just as the other Clans asked of him. He and the other leaders discuss the strange scents that have appeared inside each Clan's territory. The scents were mentioned to be 'not from the Clans'.

Firestar follows Jayfeather out of ThunderClan camp, noticing that the medicine cat seems troubled. When Jayfeather scornfully makes a point that Leafpool broke both the warrior code and the medicine cat code, he is puzzled at Firestar's obvious surprise. Firestar honestly admits that he doesn't think about it, then tries to convince Jayfeather that it was meant to happen.

Firestar appears when Blackstar comes with his warriors to ThunderClan about Lionblaze's trespassing, and Firestar promises him that no ThunderClan warrior will cross the border again, and he appears when he confronts Lionblaze about his destiny and tells him he doesn't have a choice, but afterwards, he appears troubled and says to his grandson that he can't force his destiny on him.

As a continuation of the Fire will save the Clan prophecy, Firestar discovers that he is the fourth cat from the Tribe of Endless Hunting's prophecy in a dream when Jayfeather appears, the interpreted sign the fire in the reeds by RiverClan. He vows to StarClan and Jayfeather that he will unite the four Clans.

Firestar meets with the other Clan leaders and their medicine cats to discuss the prophecy, informing them about Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovewing's powers and about the Dark Forest cats' plan to overtake and destroy the Clans and warrior code. Once the leaders have heard everything he has to say, they agree to join the alliance to fight for the warrior code and their Clans.

Despite Sandstorm's protests, Firestar insists on fighting in the final battle, waving off her protests of his last life by countering that every ThunderClan warrior besides him only has one life. He lines up with several other ThunderClan warriors, then scares away a couple of Dark Forest cats, and later guards the nursery. He then appears again at the end of the battle, fighting Tigerstar and successfully winning the fight. Although Firestar kills him, lightning strikes a tree and it catches fire, and smoke billows over him and he dies from all of the wounds he received during the battle. His spirit then leaves with Bluestar when she introduces the Three to the cats that gave Firestar his nine lives, sweeping his gaze over the Clan for the last time.

In the Ravenpaw's Path Arc

Shattered Peace

Firestar is seen once and briefly in the beginning of the book as Firepaw. He is seen with Ravenpaw and Graypaw while they are taking him to Barley's farm. He is not seen after that. It is also mentioned by Spottedleaf that Firestar would be able to help Ravenpaw and Barley in getting their farm back.

A Clan in Need

Firestar is first seen when Ravenpaw and Barley come to ThunderClan, asking for a battle patrol to come back with them and help get their barn back. When Ravenpaw asks, Firestar dodges the question, instead making an attempt to make Ravenpaw and Barley more comfortable staying in ThunderClan. When a patrol is attacked, Firestar is forced to admit the trouble that they are having from the BloodClan rogues' living in the Twolegplace and is also forced to admit that ThunderClan couldn't spare a battle patrol at the time, but that after the problem is solved, he'll send a patrol to help Ravenpaw and Barley.

When Ravenpaw and Barley return with Barley's sister, Violet, Firestar prepares to lead ThunderClan to attack BloodClan, he also tells his warriors to show no mercy, which is something he rarely would say. Once BloodClan is defeated and disbanded, Firestar informs Barley and Ravenpaw that ThunderClan will send a battle patrol and he would lead it himself.

The Heart of a Warrior

In this book, Firestar leads a patrol of ThunderClan cats to defeat the rogues who have taken over Barley and Ravenpaw's barn. At the barn, he gives out orders to set up a camp and hunt. After exploring the barn, Firestar tells the cats his plan to attack them. Later, at night, he leads the cats to the barn. When Snapper finds them, Firestar orders the patrol to attack. After the farmer yells at them to go, Firestar tells the ThunderClan patrol to meet up at the cowshed- their camp. Once they come up with another plan, Firestar and the patrol go to attack the rogues again. But when more rogues come, Firestar tells the cats to retreat and regroup. Firestar loses a life during the battle. After winning the fight, Firestar says goodbye and leaves.

In the The Lost Warrior Arc

The Lost Warrior

Graystripe thinks about his first encounter with Firestar, and comments that he knew that Firestar was a real warrior at heart. He also has a vision of Firestar and other ThunderClan cats calling to him while he travels to search for his Clan.

Warrior's Refuge

Although he is not seen, when Millie scares off the dogs, Graystripe says, "I wouldn't be more surprised if Firestar floated out of the sky and licked me on the nose."

Warrior's Return

Firestar is the first cat to recognize Graystripe and Millie at the Gathering. He and Graystripe are extremely happy to see each other. The book ends just as Graystripe is going to introduce Millie to Firestar.

In the SkyClan and the Stranger Arc

The Rescue

He does not appear, but Leafstar wonders why he didn't tell her about parenting kits and Echosong says it's probably because he's a tom and he didn't have that kind of problem. Leafstar names one of her kitsFirekit in honor of him.

In the Field Guide Arc

Secrets of the Clans

Firestar introduces the reader to ThunderClan and describes how he became a leader. He said that he would lay down all of his nine lives for his Clan, just like his Clanmates would give their lives up for him. Firestar says that there is no Clan in the forest truer or braver than ThunderClan. He describes his Clan as the Clan of heroes, compassion, and destiny.

When Sandstorm shows the reader around the old ThunderClan camp, she tells the reader that Firestar asked her to show them around. She shows the reader Firestar's den and peeks around in it. Sandstorm thinks he must've left to go on a patrol, and she tells the reader that he sleeps beyond the lichen in his den. She says Firestar was a pudgy kittypet when she first met him, and that no one thought he would ever become leader. When Sandstorm talks to Leafpaw about Squirrelpaw, she tells her that she'll have a word with Firestar about letting her come to the Gathering.

When Squirrelflight shows the readers around ThunderClan's new camp, she jumps onto the Highledge and tells the readers that Firestar makes his announcements from there. When she accidentally calls a meeting, Squirrelflight brings the reader to hide in Firestar's den. She tells the reader that Firestar sleeps in a bed of ferns and moss, and accidentally messes it up, and asks the reader if they think he'll notice.

Firepaw is listed as one of Bluestar's apprentices.

Firestar is listed as one of ThunderClan's significant leaders. He is described as brave, intelligent, loyal — a natural leader. It is said that he has an unusually strong connection with StarClan. It also says he broughtWindClan back after being exiled by ShadowClan, and uncovered Tigerstar's treachery. It states that he saved the clan from a terrible fire in the camp, and discovered Tigerstar's plan with the dog pack. Finally, it says that Firestar led the clans in battle against BloodClan, and kept the clans together as they found their new home.

Firestar is mentioned to have prophetic dreams, even when he was a kittypet.

Cats of the Clans

Firestar is said to have given his Clan little chance to forget Firestar's kittypet origins, by bringing Cloudtail to the clan and Daisy to the nursery. Rock explains to the kits how Firestar's kittypet origins do not make him less of a warrior, and he wonders what Bluestar was thinking when she brought him into the forest.

Rock shows sympathy for Firestar, saying that he is hardly able to close his eyes without some kind of dream filling his mind, though admits that Firestar has handled this well. He wonders whether it took more than a Clanborn cat to discover Tigerstar's treachery, or bring WindClan back home when they were chased away by ShadowClan. He also says Sandstorm has forgiven Firestar for his kittypet roots. Rock wishes him nothing but peace, and a long life. Rock corrects himself, however, by saying that he knows how each and every one of Firestar's lives will be taken. Although saying this, he refuses to tell the kits how he dies.

When Rock talks about Bluestar, Firestar is mentioned, if Bluestar took him over as her own kit, since she lost hers. He also said that Bluestar saw Firestar as a savior the moment the sun hit his flame-colored pelt. He says that Spottedleaf had said to Bluestar that Fire would save the Clan, so Firestar must have seemed like a gift from StarClan.

When talking about Graystripe, Rock says Graystripe was the first cat to befriend Firestar, when he came into the forest. He also says that they both share the same foolish generosity. Rock says that Sandstormwon Firestar's heart after Spottedleaf died, and if it wasn't for her, Firestar might not have fought BloodClan at all. On Sandstorm's page, Rock says that Firestar had determination to save the forest from Scourge. Sandstorm made Firestar believe he was doing the right thing to fight the cats from Twolegplace. He says Firestar trusted her because she loved him above all, and would never sacrifice his life for the Clan. Rock says Sandstorm knows Firestar better than he realizes, better even than Spottedleaf and that Sandstorm isn't just his shadow either. Her courage had matched his on the journey to rebuild SkyClan, and matched Firestar blow for blow in the battle against the rats. He says he hopes Firestar appreciates her journey as much as she deserves.

On Squirrelflight's page, Rock says that The Great Journey proved that she had the courage of her father, Firestar. When Rock talks about Cloudtail, he says that Cloudtail went back to his kittypet life, until StarClan and Firestar gave him a second chance by rescuing him.

Rock tells the reader that Firestar has waited a long time for Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw, but in dread, not hope, because he wondered how any cat could posses more power than StarClan. When talking about Tallstar, Rock mentions that Tallstar had no choice to do anything when Firestar and Graystripe risked their lives to bring his Clan home. Also Tallstar trusted Firestar when he said that Bluestar was mistaken, and refused to fight ThunderClan.

It was said on Onestar's page, that Onestar was good friends with Firestar the moment they met on the journey back from the Thunderpath. Firestar believed that they could depend on their friendship forever, and was only too pleased when Tallstar switched his deputy at the last minute. Rock says Onestar knew that the clans would call him Firestar's kittypet, and would roll over and let him tickle his belly whenever it suited the ThunderClan leader. It was a hard lesson for Firestar to not have his old friend, but it was even harder for Onestar because he missed Firestar.

Firestar is mentioned twice on Leopardstar's page. Rock says that since Leopardstar saw Crookedstar'sattitude towards half-Clan cats, she turned her back on Firestar and his Clan of kittypet warriors. He says that thanks to Firestar, she ended up on the winning Clan (LionClan) against the BloodClan cats. OnFeathertail's page, Rock tells the reader that Firestar, Graystripe and Ravenpaw saved Feathertail, Mistyfoot, and Stormfur when TigerClan held them prisoner.

Firestar is mentioned once when Rock talks about Hawkfrost. He says that it was Tigerstar's idea for Hawkfrost to plot with a ThunderClan enemy of Brambleclaw's to lure Firestar into a fox trap. Tigerstar underestimated Brambleclaw's loyalty to the Clan leader, so Brambleclaw killed Hawkfrost and saved Firestar instead. On Barley and Ravenpaw's page, Rock says that Firestar persuaded Ravenpaw to leave the forest and go live with Barley, or else Tigerstar would have killed him.

On Smudge and Princess' page, Rock says that Smudge was Firestar's neighbor when he was a kittypet, and Smudge wondered why Rusty would've wanted to live with the Clans, but still stayed friends with him. He never forgot his friendship with Firestar, and allowed him to stay outside his Twoleg nest to dream of the SkyClan cats. Princess was Firestar's littermate who lived with different house folk. When she found out Firestar was the leader of a group forest cats, she gave her first born kit, Cloudkit, to Firestar to bring to the Clan who later becomes Cloudtail. Rock says Princess was a good friend of Firestar's and he says she still sits on her fence and looks out into the woods, wondering where he is and if he's safe.

When Rock talked about Cloudstar and Skywatcher, Firestar is mentioned a few times. Rock says that if kittypets like Firestar can catch mice and thrushes, surely forest-born cats can pick up those skills? Cloudstar said to Birdflight that he would wait for her forever, but they didn't meet again until Firestar and Sandstorm rebuilt their Clan. Also, Rock said that when Firestar and Sandstorm arrived at the gorge, Skywatcher was the last descendant of SkyClan.

On Leafdapple, Echosong and Sharpclaw's page, Rock says that Firestar invited Leafdapple into the new SkyClan because she could leap high into trees, showing her SkyClan ancestry. Rock told the reader that Echosong had a dream of Firestar and Sandstorm before they found the gorge, and knew that these cats needed her help.

On Scourge and Bone's page, Rock says that Scourge killed Tigerstar and Firestar had to watch helplessly as Tigerstar lost all nine of his lives. In revenge, Firestar killed Scourge, losing one of his lives in the process.

Code of the Clans

Firestar is mentioned in "Welcome to the Warrior Code" when Leafpool tells the reader that Firestar told her that they would be visiting that day.

Firestar is featured as a young apprentice in Who Goes There? Whitestorm Teaches Border Tactics. He is still tormented by Sandpaw and Dustpaw, by Dustpaw trying to push him into brambles and Sandpaw preparing to put a fire ant in his pelt, but Whitestorm caught them every time. Whitestorm makes Firepaw go to the end of the line at first, and Sandpaw thinks he has fleas, to which her mentor denies.

When Whitestorm asks what a patrol might smell besides their own Clan's borders on a border patrol, Firepaw answers, saying the other Clans' scent. Firepaw indicates the rest of his "patrol" when Whitestorm demonstrates to them what happens when other cats cross their border.

In another part of the book, Sandstorm talks about her love for Firestar. She asks if Fireheart was just a kittypet, would he stop Bluestar from fighting with WindClan, would he had risked Bluestar's trust, or would so many of his Clanmates had supported him, even Whitestorm or Goldenflower. Sandstorm says that Dustpelt always told her that Fireheart can never be a true warrior because he wasn't born in ThunderClan. She states that he was a show-off when he first came to the Clan, always catching more prey, being the best in battle-training, or being the most solemn at Gatherings. She and Dustpelt could never figure out why Graystripe was friends with him because he didn't even seem to know what fun was. He always got into trouble, as Sandstorm said, like sneaking Ravenpaw out of camp, she saw him and Graystripe sneaking out of camp with Ravenpaw, then Fireheart came up with the excuse that Ravenpaw was killed. He always had annoyed Tigerclaw, she said, but now it looks like he was right, as Tigerclaw was the biggest enemy of ThunderClan.

She says Fireheart didn't just accept the warrior code; he thinks about it and figures out how it's supposed to work. Dustpelt told her that Fireheart doesn't belong in ThunderClan because the warrior code says to reject kittypets, but she said that they have to reject that life, not the cats. Sandstorm says Fireheart would argue with any cat, in or out of ThunderClan, if he thought they were doing the wrong thing, and she said she doesn't want to live in a Clan that's always in war. She says Fireheart would stop a battle if it was unnecessary, and that's why Tallstar trusted him to make sure that ThunderClan and WindClan didn't fight. She told the reader that maybe a kittypet can know us better than we know ourselves, and maybe it takes an outsider to look into the truth, like Fireheart did with Tigerclaw. She wonders if he'll ever see the truth in her heart, however much Fireheart breaks the warrior code, she'll always love him more than any other cat. Finally, she asks that if he knew, would he love her back?
