Brightstar

## Summary

Brightstar is a white and ginger she-cat with a missing right eye, shredded skin around her eye, and a single blue eye. She is the current leader of ThunderClan.

Brightstar was born to Frostfur and Lionheart in ThunderClan. When she was young, she and her littermates were stolen by Clawface and brought to ShadowClan, but was saved by Firepaw and his patrol. She eventually became an apprentice and was trained by Whitestorm. She became good friends with the older apprentice, Swiftpaw, and even Cloudkit when he came to ThunderClan. When Bluestar refused to make her, Thornpaw, and Swiftpaw warriors, she set out with Swiftpaw to find out what was taking ThunderClan's prey and prove herself to Bluestar. However, their plan backfired when the dogs attacked them at Sunningrocks, killed Swiftpaw, and gravely injured Brightpaw. She survived, but her right eye was torn away as well as the fur covering it. Her friend, Cloudtail helped her feel better about herself and the two became mates after the battle with BloodClan. She gave birth to Whitekit and traveled on the journey to the lake territory. There, she was appointed deputy after Firestar accepted Graystripe was not coming back. She fought in the Great Battle and took Firestar's place when he died, gaining nine lives and her leader title. She gave birth to three more kits after the battle and appointed Brambleclaw as her deputy. She was poisoned by a strange substance and laid unconscious for a while, continuously being kept under by a possessed Brambleclaw. She reawakened after Ashfur returned to the Dark Forest and appointed Squirrelflight her deputy when Brambleclaw became too unstable after being possessed.
