Clawstar

Clawstar is a big, dark black tabby tom with many scars, emerald eyes. He has massive, sharp claws.
Clawstar was a ThunderClan leader in the lake territories. Clawkit was born to an unknown rogue, and was abandoned for dead. He was taken in by ThunderClan warriors, and was fostered by Hollypelt, alongside Moonkit and Fallingkit. He was mistreated by Hollypelt, usually starved and forced to sleep outside. Clawpaw was apprenticed to Ivyfall, who protected him from his mother. Shortly after becoming an apprentice, he accidentally caused his mother's death; leading to the Clan looking down on him as an outcast. After becoming a warrior, Clawblaze yearned for leadership. He became the mentor of Darkpaw, forcing him to fight and kill a rogue. Clawblaze murdered his apprentice when Darkpaw refused. After Darkpaw's death, he mentored Redpaw, who mirrored his ambition. He guided her and caused the death of a kittypet named Peach. However, he kills Redpaw at the Moonstone after she witnesses him speaking to Stoneclaw so that their secret is kept. He is then given Goldenpaw as an apprentice, and guides him in the Dark Forest. Following Moonstar's death, Clawblaze claims that Goldenstorm had killed her, and casts him out.
Upon his leadership, he announced that kits below six moons could become warriors. He also exiled any remaining elders, and demoted his medicine cat, Blindfall. The other Clans were deeply disturbed by his leadership, and as Goldenstorm returns, a riot outbursts and Clawstar is murdered by his Clanmates, as well as his followers. In the Dark Forest, Clawstar trained cats in their dreams such as Smallcloud, Roseheart, Blackstripe and Brackenfang. He eventually faded after being slain by Goldenstar during the battle, and has been claimed to be reincarnated into Razorpaw.
==History==
=== In Storm of Secrets arc ===
:Clawstar is a senior warrior of ThunderClan under the leadership of Thornstar. He is given an apprentice named Goldenpaw. Clawblaze is extremely scornful of him and trains him in the dark forest. Goldenpaw initially respects Clawblaze, but quickly realizes that he cannot trust him. It is revealed to Goldenpaw by Smallpaw that Clawblaze murdered Nightgaze, an RiverClan queen in order to keep his terrible secret, about his half-clan son, Soulheart. Despite all of this, Clawblaze is secretly the father of Cinderfoot's kits: Leafpaw and Nightpaw. Clawblaze rejects Cinderfoot, and appears to mourn her after it is revealed she is dead, but Blindfall knows that it's all an act.
:After Goldenstorm becomes deputy, Clawblaze is incredibly envious, and goes out of his way to murder Moonstar. After Moonstar's death, he blames Goldenstorm for her death. Despite Blindfall's protest, Clawblaze is backed up by his followers; Stoneclaw and Panthertail. He exiles Goldenstorm, alongside Crystalfur, Dapplepaw, Leafstep and Smallcloud. StarClan refuses to grant him nine lives, however, he lies to his clan that they accepted him as a new leader. However, this position of power isn't enough to satisfy him, and he schemes to murder Goldenstorm, as well as promote kits who are under six moons as warriors. He gives Dawnkit, Treekit, Patchkit and Fluffkit their unofficial warrior names, Dawnpelt, Patchstep, Fluffcry and Treeclaw. He plots with Stoneclaw, and attacks Goldenstorm. However, he is saved by Crystalfur, and Clawblaze slains her.
:Clawblaze eventually reveals to Leafstep that she's his daughter, and forces her to choose between sides - allowing her clanmates to die, or swearing loyalty. Leafstep reluctantly swears loyalty, but secretly plots with Goldenstorm to plan her father's downfall. He watches as Stoneclaw is poisoned by Blindfall, and leaps at him to attack him - however, is tackled by Goldenstorm. The two fight, and Goldenstorm announces to ThunderClan that he is their true leader. This provokes a riot, and Clawstar is eventually slain by his clan, including his remaining followers. As soon as Clawstar is slain, a lightning strikes camp as a symbol of bad omens to come. The camp bursts out into flames, and Blindfall dies as a result of the fire. 
=== In A Vision of Stars arc ===
:Clawstar joins the Dark Forest for his treachery. He discovers a way to train other cats in their dreams. He orders Roseheart to kill Leafstep for her betrayal, and Roseheart attempts to feed her mother deathberries. However, she is stopped by Smallcloud, and flees - getting scolded and attacked by Stoneclaw. 
:Clawstar continues to walk in the Dark Forest, this time, with his equally ambitious friend for company. The final conflict takes place during a fight, Clawstar against Smallcloud, Goldenstar and Dappleheart. Clawstar seemed to have gotten the advantage at the beginning of the battle. Dappleheart retaliates and snaps Clawstar's neck, as he vanishes forever.

==== Clawstar's Fury ====
:Clawblaze is born to an unknown rogue, and is abandoned to die. He is later found by a patrol, and brought into ThunderClan where he is raised by Hollypelt. She immediately disapproves of the rogue kit, and usually insults him and mistreats him. She disapproves of him sleeping in the same nest as her and her "true" kits, so he sleeps outside. Clawpaw is apprenticed to Ivyfall, who shields him from his mother. As an apprentice, he is very aggressive and enjoys fighting. Ivyfall disapproves of this, and tries to teach him to fight without fighting. During a hunting patrol, he is followed by his mother - where she taunts him and wishes he had never been born. In a rage, he attacks her and kills her before he can see what happened, and claws himself in frustration, later blaming it on a fox attack. He is immediately disapproved of by his clanmates, and spends his time as an apprentice being an outcast. After he becomes Clawblaze, he trains Darkpaw. He is envious of Snowpelt, who is the ThunderClan deputy. He attempts to get close with her to fuel his ambition, before really falling for her. He kills Darkpaw after he refuses to hurt a rogue, and is given another apprentice, Redpaw. She fuels his ambition, and he immediately disapproves after a kittypet, Peach, is welcomed into the clan. He plots with Redpaw to befriend her and kill her, and Redpaw leads the kittypet into a fox trap - snapping her neck.
:Clawblaze stops by the moonstone to discuss his plan with Snowpelt with Stoneclaw, and Redpaw overhears. Suddenly, Clawblaze kills the young apprentice to ensure the secret is kept. He drags her body back to camp, and provokes a fight between ThunderClan and ShadowClan - claiming she was murdered by a ShadowClan patrol. Shortly after this, he confesses to Snowpelt - and the two become mates, much to her sister's, Cinderfoot's, dismay. 
:Clawblaze's ambitions finally start to fade, and he remains happy with his mate. He stays besides her while she gives birth, and a kit named Dovekit is born. Clawblaze is extremely protective of her, due to the fact she is born blind. Blindfall takes her in as his apprentice, being granted a bad omen from StarClan. Suddenly, Dovepaw dies from illness, and Clawblaze curses himself. Blindfall claims that it was a message from StarClan, a bad omen, that Clawblaze would never be truly good. Shortly after this, Snowpelt is struck by a monster - Clawblaze mourns her, and swears to avenge her death. His mind grows corrupt, and he goes back to his ambitious ways, knowing he has nothing left to lose. Blindfall sighs, and begs StarClan to help the future of ThunderClan. 
:Clawblaze meets Lilly, a kittypet, while on a hunting patrol. The two meet up night after night. Clawblaze is injured by foxes, and Lilly takes him to her two-leg den to rest. Lilly refuses to join ThunderClan, and Clawblaze scolds her coldly.
:Unbeknownst to Clawblaze, Lilly bears his son, Shadedkit. She sets out to RiverClan, where she gives him away to an expecting queen, Nightgaze. Terrified of what Clawstar would do if he found out, she begs her to raise him as if he was her own. After Lilly flees, she is found by Clawstar and slaughtered, as he seeks out to find his son- but to no avail. After discovering that Nightgaze had been behind this by Stoneclaw, he sets out to kill her, however, spares Shadedcloud.
