Cinderstar

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.*

**Cinderstar** is a gray tabby she-cat with a lighter muzzle, chest, and tail-tip. She has forest-green eyes, a pink nose, and long legs.

## History

### In the *Three Special Kits Arc*

#### *A Shining Dawn*

She is first seen entering a deserted clearing with Star and Antfur. It is noted their starry pelts echo the moonlight as they settle in the middle of the clearing. She asks Star what she needs to tell them. Antfur also asks a question and Star responds. After Star is silent for a few heartbeats, Cinderstar speaks up, mewing impatiently if she was going to tell them. Silvershade and Goldenfang then enter the clearing. She meows that Silvershade can tell them why he went ahead and barged into their meeting. A moment of silence meets her words.

When Flamestripe, Lightningpelt, and Gingersplash arrive with prey, she shares a rabbit with Star, Flamestripe, and Silvershade. Once everyone is done eating, she asks since every StarClan cat was there, she can tell them the prophecy, and asks isn't that why they're gathered there. Star delivers the prophecy and Goldenfang asks a question. Star replies but is interrupted by the tabby, who asks why she has to tell them more at the break of dawn than then. Star says she is tired, and asks her if she is tired too. All but Cinderstar nod their heads and walk out of the clearing, while she just stands there and shakes her head. But she reluctantly agrees and pads out into the forest.
