Onestar

Onestar is a small and lean, mottled, pale brown tabby tom with amber eyes.
Onestar was a leader of WindClan in the lake territories. Onekit was born to Wrenflight and Stagleap with his sisters, Ashfoot and Morningflower, in the forest territories. He was apprenticed as Onepaw to WindClan's deputy Deadfoot. Onepaw trained with two kittypets, Brushpaw and Tansypaw, who introduced Onepaw to the nearby Twolegplace. He began sharing dramatized tales of his heroism to the other kittypets, earning the admiration of Smoke. He eventually earned his warrior name, Onewhisker and came to believe that kittypets could never become warriors after Brushpaw's death and Tansypaw returning to her Twolegs.
Onewhisker befriended Fireheart after the ThunderClan warrior helped bring WindClan back to the forest following their exile. Onewhisker also mentored Whitetail and Gorsepaw, though Gorsepaw was killed by Tigerstar. Following the battle against BloodClan, Onewhisker and Whitetail became mates. Onewhisker broke ties with Smoke, though she soon revealed she was expecting kits. With the Clans' territory under threat by Twolegs, Onewhisker turned his back on Smoke and their only surviving son, Darkkit, promising that he would return one day. When the Clans reached the lake following the Great Journey, Tallstar renamed Onewhisker his deputy over Mudclaw. Mudclaw was furious and led a rebellion against Onewhisker; however, Mudclaw and his followers lost. Thereafter, Onewhisker received his nine lives with the name of Onestar and made Ashfoot his deputy. Wanting to prove himself to his Clan, he turned his back on Firestar and their friendship.
He and Whitetail had two daughters, Heatherkit and Galekit, though Galekit was stillborn. Following the Great Battle, Onestar made Harespring his deputy and defended the former Dark Forest trainees. Growing fearful that his son Darktail was coming to destroy his Clan, Onestar turned WindClan away from the other Clans. Eventually, Onestar revealed the truth about Darktail's parentage. Although he at first did not want to fight against Darktail, he eventually aided with the Clans for one final battle against the Kin. He and Darktail drowned each other, and Onestar ascended to StarClan soon after. He granted Harespring one of his nine lives. Onestar later helped defeat Ashfur by allying with living cats and cats from the Dark Forest.
==History==
===The Prophecies Begin===
:Onewhisker is a warrior of WindClan, and his apprentice is Whitepaw. His Clan is driven from their territory by ShadowClan under Brokenstar's cruel tyranny. He meets Fireheart when he and Graystripe rescue WindClan and bring them back to the forest. He befriends Fireheart during the journey, and the two often talk during Gatherings. He gains a new apprentice, Gorsepaw. Onewhisker helps Fireheart convince Tallstar to not fight Bluestar's unprompted fight and instead asks for peace. When Gorsepaw is killed, Onewhisker angrily tells Firestar how Tigerstar killed him. He participates with LionClan in the battle against BloodClan.
===The New Prophecy===
:He and his Clanmates grow very thin when Twolegs poison rabbits. When Onewhisker joins the others to rescue ShadowClan as Twolegs destroy their camp, Firestar loses one of his nine lives to save Onewhisker and a kit. During the Great Journey to their new home, Onewhisker stays with Tallstar, who is very frail and on his last life. He and Mudclaw, the Clan deputy, constantly argue about Tallstar and his ability to continue to lead. As Tallstar dies, he renames Onewhisker his successor without a ceremony, wishing for the friendship between WindClan and ThunderClan to live on through Onewhisker and Firestar. Mudclaw is furious, and he and other warriors insist Mudclaw should lead.
:Without access to StarClan, Onewhisker appoints Ashfoot as deputy and struggles to find his confidence. Firestar continues to advise him, though Onewhisker's reliance on the ThunderClan leader prompts criticism within his own Clan. Mudclaw, with the help of Hawkfrost, leads a rebellion against Onewhisker, who seeks the help of ThunderClan. After the Moonpool is discovered, he receives his nine lives and is named Onestar. However, in an effort to prove his leadership, Onestar becomes bitter and distant with ThunderClan. He does lead his Clan to help ThunderClan when they are attacked by badgers.
===Power of Three===
:Onestar and Whitetail are now parents to their daughter Heatherpaw. After Gorsetail's kits go missing, Onestar angrily accuses ThunderClan of taking them. The two Clans almost break out into war until Jaypaw, Lionpaw, Hollypaw, Breezepaw, and Heatherpaw discover them in the tunnels and bring them home. Onestar's vendetta against ThunderClan and the discovery of the tunnels prompts Onestar to ally with RiverClan to attack ThunderClan in their camp. WindClan and RiverClan attack all over ThunderClan's territory, though ShadowClan eventually comes to ThunderClan's aid. The battle is only stopped when an eclipse occurs. Onestar later sides with the other leaders to force ThunderClan to drive out Sol from the territories.
===Omen of the Stars===
:Onestar continues to act aggressive towards Firestar and ThunderClan. When the lake dries up, Onestar sends Sedgewhisker and Whitetail as representatives from WindClan on the journey to free the water. Unbeknownst to Onestar and Ashfoot, Sol returns and convinces WindClan's younger warriors to attack ThunderClan in the tunnels. Onestar later agrees to participate in battle against the Dark Forest, though the battle results in his deputy Ashfoot's death.
===A Vision of Shadows===
:During a fight with Darktail and his Kin, Onestar loses a life. He blames ShadowClan for allowing Darktail to settle by the lake and refuses to help them when they are in desperate need of medicine. During another battle with the Kin, Darktail whispers something into Onestar's ear, and Onestar grows scared and cowardly orders WindClan to retreat. He closes WindClan's borders and refuses to help RiverClan when Darktail drives them out. When confronted by the other Clans, Onestar reveals that Darktail is his son. Realizing Darktail must be destroyed, Onestar and his Clan participate in another battle against the Kin where he and Darktail kill each other in the lake. He is seen in StarClan by Alderheart, looking young and strong again.
===The Broken Code===
:Following Ashfur's schemes to kidnap Bramblestar's body to wreck havoc on the living Clans, StarClan, and the Dark Forest, Onestar and other StarClan cats entered the Dark Forest to help the Lights in the Mist to defeat Ashfur and his army. Onestar was surprised to see Darktail in the Dark Forest. After the battle, Onestar helps brainstorm a new order of the warrior code.
===Super Editions===
:In Onestar's Confession, following his defeat over Darktail, Onestar wakes up in StarClan and Tallstar advises him to reflect while StarClan decides his fate. Onestar recalls his apprenticeship and how he trained alongside Brushpaw and Tansypaw, two kittypets who joined the Clan upon the request of their mother. Brushpaw and Tansypaw show Onepaw and his littermates the Twolegplace, and they frequently sneak out of camp to entertain the local kittypets of their warrior tales. Onepaw also meets Smoke and the two quickly become enamored by each other. However, Onepaw realizes that kittypets can never become warriors after Brushpaw's death in a battle against ShadowClan and Tansypaw returning to her Twolegs. Onewhisker continues to visit the Twolegplace to meet Smoke. However, he breaks ties from her when he becomes mates with Whitetail. Smoke is expecting his kits, and she soon gives birth alone in the moor after Onewhisker turns her away. Only their son Darkkit survives. Before the Clans leave for the Great Journey, Smoke attempts to convince Onewhisker to take Darkkit with him. Fearful of Whitetail and his Clanmates learning the truth, Onewhisker turns his back on them, making a false promise that he'll return one day. Smoke vows to raise her son to hate the Clans if he doesn't return.
:While resting with the Tribe, Stoneteller warns Onewhisker of a threat from his past hunting him. At their new home, Onewhisker succeeds Tallstar as leader. He and Whitetail have two daughters, Heatherkit and Galekit, though Galekit is stillborn. Seasons later after the Great Battle, Onestar returns to the old forest to find Darkkit and Smoke, and the new Stoneteller provides Onestar with a familiar warning. At the old territories, Melody informs Onestar about Smoke's death and Darkkit's—now Darktail—cruel behavior. Following the Great Storm, Onestar grows fearful that Darktail is hunting him. Onestar grows more paranoid of dying after losing one life to Darktail. His paranoia results in him closing off WindClan from the other Clans, but Onestar eventually reveals the truth about Darktail to the other Clans and his family. Resolved to do the right thing, Onestar and Darktail drown each other in the lake. Back in StarClan, Tallstar admits Onestar into StarClan where Onestar grants Harespring one of his nine lives.
:In Crowfeather's Trial, Onestar allows Breezepelt to remain in WindClan, who trained in the Dark Forest and fought against the Clans in the Great Battle. The Clan builds a memorial for their fallen warriors, and Onestar firmly believes WindClan will be reunited again. As if to prove his beliefs, he appoints Harespring, who also trained in the Dark Forest, as his new deputy following Ashfoot's death. Crowfeather constantly disagrees with Onestar's optimism and believes Onestar is foolish for ever thinking WindClan would easily move on. When stoats move into the tunnels and wreck havoc for WindClan, Onestar refuses to ask Bramblestar and ThunderClan for help, even going as far as to seal off WindClan's tunnel entrances in hopes the stoats will attack ThunderClan instead. When Crowfeather asks ThunderClan for help, Onestar instead insults Bramblestar and temporarily exiles Crowfeather. However, as the threat of the stoats becomes even more dangerous to WindClan's well-being, Onestar is left very little choice, and with Crowfeather's urging, finally accepts Bramblestar's offer of help. Together, WindClan and ThunderClan defeat the stoats.
===Stand-alone graphic novels===
:In Winds of Change, shortly before his death, Tallstar names Onewhisker his deputy instead of Mudclaw. Mudclaw is furious and refuses to be Onewhisker's deputy when offered. Onewhisker names Ashfoot his deputy, and struggles to help settle his Clan into their new home. Mudclaw ignores and challenges Onewhisker's decisions, such as when Onewhisker asks for his advice and when Onewhisker gives woodland territory to ThunderClan. He is set on maintaining friendships with the other Clans instead of being firm, much to Mudclaw's ire. Hawkfrost weaves ideas into Mudclaw's mind that Onewhisker is a puppet leader for Firestar so the ThunderClan leader can take over WindClan. Hawkfrost and Mudclaw resolve that Onewhisker must die so Mudclaw can regain leadership. As they begin their assault, Mudclaw is prepared to kill Onewhisker when Firestar and his warriors arrive to help. Mudclaw and his followers are outnumbered and they flee, and a falling tree kills Mudclaw. After the battle, Onewhisker goes to the Moonpool to receive his nine lives and Mudclaw gives him a life for determination.

*Though we didn't always know it, and Onestar tried to run from it as long as he could, this father and son duo were always fated to die at each other's claws. Onewhisker was a friendly, easy-going WindClan warrior and a close friend of Firestar's, but when Tallstar's deathbed decision left him as leader, he turned cold and hard to become the leader he thought his Clan needed - and to hide the shameful secret that had plagued him since his warrior days. Darktail's burning desire for revenge brought him to the lake, where he rained havoc down on the Clans. Through it all, his fierce longing for kin came out in him forming the twisted, dysfunctional Kin - though every cat understood that Darktail's favor was as fragile as a cobweb.
