===Continuity===
*In Secrets of the Clans, a 2007 field guide, Firestar introduces the reader to ThunderClan; he says that there is no Clan in the forest truer or braver than ThunderClan, and describes his Clan as the Clan of heroes, compassion, and destiny. Sandstorm mentions Firestar when she shows the reader around the old ThunderClan camp, explaining how he was a pudgy kittypet when she first met him, and that no one thought he would ever become leader. Squirrelflight mentions him when she shows the reader around ThunderClan's new camp. Firestar is listed as one of ThunderClan's significant leaders, and he is described as brave, intelligent, and loyal with an unusually strong connection with StarClan. He brought WindClan back after it was exiled by ShadowClan and exposed Tigerstar's treachery. He saved the Clan from a terrible fire in the camp and discovered Tigerstar's plan with the dog pack. Firestar led the Clans in the battle against BloodClan and kept the Clans together as they found their new home.
*In The Clans Decide, Firestar first finds two injured RiverClan warriors, Pouncetail and Otterheart, on his territory, coming from the ShadowClan border. He takes them back to his camp to be nursed by Leafpool. Later, he calls a special Gathering to discuss the troubles among the Clans: scarce prey, fighting along the borders, and the like. When the Clans decide they need to unite for a short time to survive, after the casting of stones as suggested by Jayfeather, Firestar is elected as the leader for the united Clans for that time.
*The names of Firestar's littermates was first revealed on Vicky's Facebook.Revealed on Vicky's Facebook
