## History

### In the Super Editions

#### Tigerstar's Rage

Dawnstripe is the foster mother of Tigerkit, Mosskit, and Pouncekit, she is also the mother of Scorchpaw and Sandpaw. Tigerkit reflects on his first time going out into camp, and that Dawnstripe had told him to straighten his whiskers whilst she sleeps nearby. He then remembers that Stoneclaw is in fact Dawnstripe's mate, and Scorchpaw and Sandpaw's father. Later, she is sitting with Lilyheart, Tigerkit, Spottedfur, and Brackenclaw waiting for the sisters, Birdkit and Honeykit, to open their eyes. Tigerkit thinks she is strict, as he knows she will shoo him out if he dares say a word, and leaves to give Patchfur space when he enters, giving Lilyheart a farewell lick. The older cats remember Sparrowheart, and Patchfur says that he had given Dawnstripe a headache with his questions and his worrying.

When Tigerkit, Mosskit, and Pouncekit are being apprenticed, he hears her purring from nearby. Later, she is seen picking at the fresh-kill pile with Lightstep, later, Tigerpaw thinks of her and Lilyheart as a mother, since he has no idea who his actual one is. When Scorchpaw and Sandpaw's ceremonies are due, Brackenclaw says that Dawnstripe had been furious when she'd found out that they'd had to be delayed due to bad behavior. Before the ceremony, Dawnstripe and Stoneclaw are seen sitting together proudly as Scorchpaw and Sandpaw pass them with a short greeting.

Tigerpaw wakes up later to hear Dawnstripe's wail of grief, soon joined by Sparrowheart whilst Tigerpaw ventures outside to see what is going on. She is grieving over Mosspaw and Pouncepaw's dead bodies, but Tigerpaw guesses Stoneclaw must be soothing her as her wails have stopped, and Sparrowheart continues. He then feels bitter when he sees her washing the blood off of his littermates' fur. Dawnstripe comforts Sparrowheart by pressing her nose into his shoulder and begins to groom Mosspaw and Pouncepaw again, after leaving Stoneclaw's side to grieve with him and Tigerpaw. He reflects on his time as a kit, and remembers how Dawnstripe would leave him out, so that he'd end up sleeping with Lilycloud or Daisyface. She is then mentioned as one of the cats to sit vigil with them overnight. Later, whilst they are being carried out for burial, Dawnstripe presses her nose into their furs in an act of farewell. She is later seen sitting beside Daisyface watching Mosskit and Lynxkit play.

Dawnstripe is seen sitting alone, and it surprises Tigerfang, as her eyes are narrowed and small. He reflects that he had never had a good relationship with his foster mother, and sees that when she looks at him, she seems suspicious. He meets her underneath a pine tree when she leaves camp afterwards and she tells him that she had always preferred Pouncepaw and Mosspaw over him, as they'd been more easygoing and playful. She then reveals that she knows that he hadn't fallen into a thorn bush, but Mosspaw and Pouncepaw had attacked him, and that she had seen it happen. When Tigerfang questions her about it, she tells him that she had thought it would bring him out of his shell. She expresses her suspicion about what truely went on during the day when Tigerfang's littermates had been killed, and is shown to be quite scared when he argues back. In the Dark Forest, he proposes the idea to his allies, Shade and Vine, to 'get rid' of Dawnstripe, so that his secret does not get spread, and they agree. Later, when he visits the Horseplace, he tells them that they will meet at dawn, as she is going on patrol at that time.

Whilst on patrol, Dawnstripe tells Maplefall and Lightstep to leave her, as she had heard something, guessing it could be a squirrel. Shade and Vine attack her from the shadows, and she struggles, looks hopefully to Tigerfang as he approaches. She tells him to help her, but he refuses, telling her that it isn't personal, and that she was just in his way. She begs for her life, as she wants to stay with her family, but she trails off after losing all hope. He tells her that he will make it quick, and snaps her neck to keep his promise. Later, Stoneclaw, Sandface and Scorchclaw show their grief whilst the Clan mourns, they blame it on loners, and her kin sits vigil.
