Tigershade

Tigershade is a dark, brown tabby tom, with tiger-like stripes and amber eyes.
Tigershade was a ThunderClan deputy under Pinestar's leadership in the forest territories. He was born in WindClan with his sister, Flamestream. Tigershade and his mate, Hollypelt, had four kits, Moonkit, Fallingkit, Fallowkit and Sagekit. When Clawkit was adopted, Tigershade was exatic but Hollypelt was infuriated, which led to a rift in their relationship. Though when Fallingkit fell blind, Hollypelt began to neglect him and Clawkit, causing Tigershade to break up with her after she cruelly renamed him to Blindkit. Tigershade defended his son from her and also became a mentor to Snowpaw. When Hollypelt died, Tigershade was distraught, having still loved her despite being able to recognize the abuse she put their sons through. Feeling his age, he retired to the elders' den as he felt he couldn't take the role of deputy any longer, with Snowpelt taking his place as deputy. Tigershade eventually passed away in a battle against ShadowClan warriors, losing blood from the battle and descending to StarClan, he gave Moonstar one of her nine lives.

===In the Super Editions
====Clawstar's Fury====
:Tigershade is grieving over the death of his two kits, Fallowkit and Sagekit. When Clawkit is brought into camp, Tigershade is optimistic but Hollypelt is bitter, deeming him not her real son. Tigershade confronts her about this but doesn't get much of a response, so he thinks nothing of it. He refuses to ignore his sister's complaints about his mate, defending her by stating that Hollypelt is simply grieving. When Clawkit, Moonkit and Fallingkit are about to sneak out, he and Pinestar are seen besides a tree, his head dipped in conversation. After Fallingkit gets blinded by a fox, he is let out of the medicine den where Tigershade comforts him. 
:When Tigershade asks Fallingkit how he's doing, he states that Hollypelt forced him to sleep in Clawkit's nest with him. Tigershade is furious by this and calls Hollypelt heartless, he declares that if she renames him Blindkit, they'll no longer be mates. She doesn't change her mind however, resulting in Tigershade walking out on her. Blindkit stumbles constantly due to his lack of sight and Clawkit states he's going to struggle being a warrior. Later, Timbershade explains to Blindkit that Tigershade suggested her to mentor him and Blindkit is furious. 
:When Moonpaw attempts to bring her father fresh-kill, Hollypelt stops her, portraying him as a traitor. Moonpaw is saddened by this and returns to Clawpaw. When Hollypelt is murdered, Tigershade grieves her death but can't forgive her for the things she's done, accepting the fact she's dead and walking away, telling Clawpaw that he wishes he could've had it better. Later, Clawblaze snaps at Snowpelt when she asks why he's so distant towards his father, exclaiming he's not his father and doesn't deserve to be. 
:Tigershade announces to Pinestar that he wishes to retire, feeling his age. Snowpelt is named his successor, which determines Clawblaze to get closer to her. After his murder of Redpaw, he sits besides Tigershade and chuckles to himself, talking about how he's glad Hollypelt's dead. Tigershade looks at him with concern, before Clawblaze states he never had a problem with him and walks away. When they storm ShadowClan camp, Tigershade decides to fight one last time. He is attacked by Lotusclaw, with a dangerous amount of blood seeping from his throat. Moonpelt rushes towards him and attempts to help him, but Tigershade dies, ascending to StarClan.
