Brambleclaw/Trivia

==Trivia==
===Interesting facts===
*Brambleclaw is the spitting image of his father Tigerstar and his half-brother Hawkfrost, despite the fact that Hawkfrost has a white belly.
**He also looks like his nephew, Tigerstar.
*Brambleclaw's appearance was based on that of Cherith's pet cat, Bramble. Additionally, the dedication of A Dangerous Path reads "To the real Bramblepaw," which refers to him.
*His warrior name, Brambleclaw, was chosen in honor of his father, Tigerclaw, so the Clan could remember Brambleclaw's heritage and move on from the past.
*Brambleclaw was made deputy before he had an apprentice.
*Brambleclaw made the 16th law in the The warrior code.
*Brambleclaw was leader of ThunderClan at the same time his nephew, Tigerstar, was leader of ShadowClan. This makes them one of only a few instances where cats closely related to each other are leaders of separate Clans at the exact same time, including when Mothwing, Brambleclaw's half-sister and Tigerstar's half-aunt, briefly led RiverClan, and Skystar and Thunderstar, who are father and son.
===Author statements===
*Vicky says that Squirrelflight did not tell Brambleclaw about Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf not being theirs because she wanted Brambleclaw to love the kits as if they were his own.Revealed on Vicky's Facebook 
*Vicky has said Hollyleaf would have been present at Bramblestar's leader ceremony, but did not have a life to give him.Revealed on Vicky's Facebook 
*Kate had "never forgiven Brambleclaw for stealing the deputyship from Graystripe" and said that his ruthless ambition has always appalled her.
**She also said that if she were to write the storyline, she would make Firestar choose Graystripe as the deputy instead, then later make Graystripe give up his deputyship for the good of the Clan. She also feels that Graystripe never got a chance to show off his true nobility.
**However, she later said that there was nothing to forgive, but still would have preferred Graystripe over Brambleclaw.
**Kate has also stated that Brambleclaw becoming deputy "cheated Graystripe out of his rightful story arc".Interview with Kate Cary
*Kate has said Bramblestar chose Squirrelflight as his deputy to show his respect and loyalty towards her.
*If Cherith could be married to a Clan cat, she would choose Brambleclaw.
*When asked if there was anything she could change about the series, Kate said Bramblestar would not be leader and found his relationship with Squirrelflight dull.
*He is one of the cats Kate least enjoys writing about.
*Kate agrees that Brambleclaw and Squirrelstar's relationship would benefit if they sat down and honestly talked with each other.
*Vicky has stated that, in her original draft, the leader of ThunderClan would be "completely unexpected", and that Brambleclaw was originally supposed to leave ThunderClan, fearing that he would become too much like Tigerstar, and would pass his leadership to Squirrelflight. This was changed after her editor pointed out that that Brambleclaw had proved his loyalty over again and would make a wonderful leader of ThunderClan.Revealed on Warriors Exclusive Video, What Might Have Been in The Last Hope: Enhanced Edition
===Mistakes===
*He was mistakenly called Bramblepaw by Ravenpaw, even though he would have had his warrior name already because Leafpool and Squirrelflight were already born.
*On the old cover of Midnight, Brambleclaw is mistakenly shown with green eyes. He has also been described with yellow eyes.
*Vicky has stated that Brambleclaw probably cannot forgive Squirrelflight. However, this statement proves to be false, as Bramblestar forgives Squirrelflight in The Last Hope.
*Erin Hunter's Confidential Notes 2: Unhappily Ever After? Ending the Doomed Romances states that Bramblestar and Squirrelflight could never be mates, but she will remain his deputy.Revealed in Unhappily Ever After? Ending the Doomed Romances In Bramblestar's Storm, that is proven to be incorrect as they become mates again at the end of the book.
*Despite the fact that Thornclaw is speaking with Blackstar in Fading Echoes, Brambleclaw is shown speaking in Night Whispers.
*Bramblestar says that Dewnose, Snowbush, and Ambermoon are the first cats he made apprentices. This is wrong, since Lilyheart and Seedpaw are older than Cloudtail and Brightheart's litter, and should have been made apprentices before the three cats between The Last Hope and Bramblestar's Storm. Vicky has said the reason for this will be explained in Dovewing's Silence. This was never touched upon.
*His name was mistakenly spelled Bramblelclaw.
*In River of Fire, he tells Twigpaw that he was an apprentice when Graystripe left to join RiverClan, although in reality he was still a kit.
*He was mistakenly depicted as Brackenfur.
*Brambleclaw is mistakenly called Bramblestar despite no longer being leader.
*He is mistakenly depicted as a solid on Squirrelstar's profile on the Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition.*Squirrelstar's profile on the Warriors official website 
*In an interview with the Warriors Wiki, Kate mistakenly called Brambleclaw Brambleheart.Interview with Kate Cary
===Continuity===
*In Secrets of the Clans, a 2007 field guide, Brambleclaw talks about the "Darkness, Air, Water, and Sky will come together... and shake the forest to its roots" prophecy.
*In The Clans Decide, Brambleclaw is one of the cats who vote for Firestar to become temporary leader of all Clans throughout the hard leaf-bare.
