Mistystar

Mistystar is a pale blue-gray she-cat with ice-blue eyes.
Mistystar was a leader of RiverClan in the lake territories. She was born in the forest as Mistykit to Bluefur and Oakheart alongside her littermates, Stonekit and Mosskit. Although raised as Thrushpelt's kits in ThunderClan, Bluefur led them through a blizzard to join their father's Clan. Mosskit perished in the cold, but Mistykit and Stonekit survived and were raised by Graypool. As an apprentice, Mistypaw was mentored by Echomist and became a warrior named Mistyfoot. She served under the leaderships of Crookedstar and Leopardstar and became mates with Blackclaw. Together they had Pikepaw, Primrosepaw, Perchkit, and Reedwhisker, her only kit who lived to be a warrior.
Mistyfoot, Stonefur, and their apprentices, Featherpaw and Stormpaw, were imprisoned by TigerClan for being half-Clan. Through Stonefur's sacrifice, they escaped to ThunderClan until Mistyfoot accepted Leopardstar's offer to be RiverClan's deputy. Mistyfoot trained two more apprentices, Mothwing and Dapplenose, and participated in The Great Journey. She became leader as Mistystar with Reedwhisker as her deputy. Because Mothwing was absent from her leadership ceremony, Mistystar discovered her lack of faith in StarClan and stripped her of her medicine cat title until an omen encouraged her otherwise.
Mistystar led RiverClan through the Great Battle and The Kin's campaign. She closed RiverClan's borders after her Clan suffered severe losses under Darktail, but reversed her decision after the other Clans rescued them from a fire. When Bramblestar's impostor demanded punishment of codebreakers, Mistystar reluctantly exiled Mothwing. However, she was named a Light in the Mist for her bravery entering the Dark Forest to defeat Ashfur. As RiverClan struggled with changes to the warrior code, Mistystar suddenly lost her ninth life and Reedwhisker was killed by the cats who hoped to lead RiverClan next: Splashtail and Curlfeather. Following Splashtail's defeat, Mistystar gave Icestar a life for courage.
==History==
===The Prophecies Begin===
:Mistyfoot is a warrior of RiverClan. She and her brother, Stonefur, participate in a battle at Sunningrocks where their father, Oakheart, perishes. Later, she gives birth to Blackclaw's kits, Reedwhisker, Primrosepaw, Pikepaw, and Perchkit. During a flood, two of her kits drift away in the high water, but they are rescued by Fireheart and Graystripe. Mistyfoot helps Fireheart find out the truth about the death of ThunderClan's previous deputy, Redtail. Mistyfoot is devastated when her best friend and cousin, Silverstream, dies giving birth to Graystripe's kits, and she becomes a mentor to Silverstream's daughter, Featherpaw, while her brother, Stonefur, mentors Stormpaw. All four of them grow a strong bond and Misyfoot treats Featherpaw and Stormpaw like her own kits.
:Ultimately, it is revealed to her and Stonefur that Bluestar, the current leader of ThunderClan, is their true mother, and the two refute the claim initially. They eventually accept Bluestar as their mother shortly before her death and forgive her. Tigerstar, having witnessed the revelation, imprisons Mistyfoot, Stonefur, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw, as the four are half-Clan. Stonefur is killed while Firestar, Graystripe, and Ravenpaw help Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw escape to ThunderClan. She participates in the battle against BloodClan, and Leopardstar makes her deputy in place of Stonefur, as she feels guilty over Stonefur's death and believes Mistyfoot would do the job well.
===The New Prophecy===
:Mistyfoot carries out her deputy duties for many moons until she is captured by Twolegs and her position is temporarily replaced by Hawkfrost. She escapes with help from ThunderClan and resumes her place as deputy, much to Hawkfrost's anger, and he often argues with Mistyfoot and defies her orders. She participates on the Great Journey to their new home. With Feathertail dead and Stormfur remaining in the mountains, Mistyfoot is chosen as a representative of RiverClan to scope out potential territory. She takes part in Mudclaw's rebellion on the side of Onewhisker and helps her Clan settle around the lake. Her only surviving kit becomes a warrior as Reedwhisker. When Stormfur and Brook's place in RiverClan is questioned, Hawkfrost accuses Mistyfoot of wanting Stormfur to remain because he is the best choice to succeed her as deputy.
===Power of Three===
:Dapplepaw is Mistyfoot's new apprentice. She assists Leopardstar helping to move the Clan to the island when a Twoleg kit terrorizes them. She is friendly yet suspicious of Hollypaw when she is held captive in RiverClan for trespassing. Her apprentice later gains her warrior name, Dapplenose. 
===Omen of the Stars===
:During a drought that dries up the lake, RiverClan suffers the worst due to the lack of fish. Leopardstar dies due to sickness, and Mistyfoot succeeds her as Mistystar. She appoints her son, Reedwhisker, as deputy. She and Mothwing travel to the Moonpool where Mistystar discovers Mothwing does not believe in StarClan. The pair stop by ThunderClan to share the news, and she is later welcomed warmly by the other leaders at a Gathering. Several of her warriors train in the Dark Forest, including Beetlewhisker, Icewing, Hollowflight, and Minnowtail, and Mistystar is confused why any of her warriors would fight for the Dark Forest. She participates in the Great Battle.
===A Vision of Shadows===
:She is present at the Gathering when the medicine cats reveal the prophecy to clear the sky. When Twigkit and Violetkit are brought to the Clans, Mistystar suggests ThunderClan and ShadowClan should each take a kit. She helps her Clan during the reign of the Kin, but is forced to shelter with ThunderClan when the Kin's forces prove too powerful, and they drive RiverClan out of their own territory. Some of her Clanmates, including Reedwhisker, are injured and taken prisoner after the battle, greatly distressing the leader. She helps lead the attack to drive the Kin away, and when they succeed, Mistystar closes RiverClan's borders, as the Clan needs time to recover from the actions of Darktail. Mistystar feels betrayed over the other Clans for not stopping Darktail sooner and she remains firm in her choice, but she reopens the borders soon after when RiverClan gets help from SkyClan, WindClan, and ThunderClan during a massive fire in their camp.
===The Broken Code===
:Mistystar is troubled by the lack of connection to StarClan, though voices doubt that Shadowpaw of all cats can still retain a connection to their ancestors. While initially hesitant about punishing the codebreakers, Mistystar agrees to listen to Bramblestar's suggestions and exiles Mothwing for having a non-RiverClan heritage. After a battle between the Clans and the truth about the impostor being revealed, Mistystar still exiles Icewing and Harelight for fighting against RiverClan in the battle. During a vigil Gathering to honor the fallen cats who died in battle, Mistystar refuses to attend and instead sends Reedwhisker in her place. When the identity of the impostor is revealed to be Ashfur, Mistystar suggests that the Clans send two guards of their own to help ShadowClan with the dark warrior, and when the leaders hold a vote to kill Ashfur or not, Mistystar disagrees with killing Ashfur in Bramblestar's body, though she and Squirrelflight, the only other leader who wishes to still try and restore Bramblestar back, are outvoted by the other three leaders. After Bramblestar reunites with his body, Mistystar and others elect to venture into the Dark Forest to stop Ashfur from destroying StarClan, the Dark Forest, and the living world. She joins several StarClan and Dark Forest cats to defeat Ashfur, and StarClan agrees to listen to changes to the warrior code after three moons.
===A Starless Clan===
:Mistystar and the other Clan leaders agree on changes to the warrior code, including provisions for cats to switch Clans to be with their mates and a process for leaders to be voted out by their Clan. Some of RiverClan's warriors are not pleased with these changes, and a party of them confronts Mistystar about them in camp. She is defensive about the changes and her role as a Light in the Mist, and soon Mistystar collapses and dies shortly after. Her son and deputy Reedwhisker is assumed to be leader, but he mysteriously disappears from a hunting patrol. Mothwing and Frostpaw temporarily lead the Clan, and decide to keep everything a secret from the other Clans. Reedwhisker's body is found in a gorge, and Frostpaw receives a sign from StarClan that Curlfeather is to be leader. However, Curlfeather is killed by dogs, and RiverClan decides to inform the other Clans what is going on. Mistystar watches over RiverClan from StarClan, and while she fears for its safety, she carries faith in her Clanmates to help RiverClan move past their succession crisis. After Splashtail's defeat, Frostdawn chooses Icewing as RiverClan's next leader and takes her to the Moonpool to receive her nine life. During the ceremony Mistystar appears before Icewing, overjoyed to see eachother again, then proceeds to grant Icewing her final life for courage. Mistystar then pulls away to stand beside her brother, Stonefur, and hails her by her new name, Icestar.

:In Bluestar's Prophecy, Mistykit is born to Bluefur in ThunderClan alongside Stonekit and Mosskit. Thrushpelt is believed to be their true father instead of Oakheart of RiverClan. In order to prevent Thistleclaw's brutal reign of ThunderClan, Bluefur takes her kits out in the snow to give to Oakheart. Mosskit dies along the way, and Bluefur gives Mistykit and Stonekit to Oakheart. Bluefur watches them grow up as she is appointed deputy and then leader of ThunderClan.
:In Crookedstar's Promise, Oakheart finds two kits lost and presumes a loner abandoned them. He is eager to raise them as RiverClan kits, and his brother Crookedstar agrees to let them stay, noting they have lost many kits already. Graypool raises them as her own, and Oakheart helps her. Later, Crookedstar finds out that the kits are Oakheart and Bluefur's, and confronts his brother about it. Oakheart tells him the truth about the kits, but Crookedstar decides to raise them as RiverClan warriors. Moons later, the two become warriors, Mistyfoot and Stonefur.
:In Leopardstar's Honor, Mistyfoot gives birth to Blackclaw's kits, Pikekit, Perchkit, Primrosekit, and Reedkit.

Mistyfoot and Stonefur later learn the truth about their parentage from Fireheart, and she and Stonefur question why their mother gave them up. Mistyfoot is named Featherpaw's mentor, though Leopardstar later wonders if that was the right choice since Mistyfoot is also half-Clan. Tigerstar questions their loyalty, and has Stonefur killed, with Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw escaping to ThunderClan. After Tigerstar's death, Leopardstar realizes her mistake, and asks for forgiveness from Mistyfoot. She also asks her to be her deputy, promising she will always listen to her. Mistyfoot is hesitant, but eventually agrees, promising to help rebuild RiverClan with her.
