**Shimmerstar** is a large, battle-scarred, muscular, tawny she-cat with darker points and pale, icy blue eyes. She has broad shoulders and large paws, and one of her ears is torn.

## History

Born as Shimmerkit alongside her sister, Brightkit, to Willowstripe, Shimmerkit learns that her father was a traitor to RiverClan who sided with ShadowClan in an attempt to destroy RiverClan. The story haunts Shimmerkit and she vows never to be like him, to be loyal to RiverClan always. She becomes an apprentice to Birdflower and is close with Dapplepaw, Runningpaw, and Ripplepaw. She and Dapplepaw come across a fierce battle that involves ThunderClan and ShadowClan, and they watch as a young warrior is ruthlessly killed, showing them the reality of war. The two apprentices vow that they will stop the wars, no matter what. Shimmerpaw's life is saved by Dapplepaw in a battle against Cash, and the two apprentices receive their warrior names, Shimmerwing and Dapplewing.
When Cash attacks their camp, Otterstar leads a patrol to enact revenge and Shimmerwing easily defeats his henchmen. She helps her Clan when the island is flooded, building a mat for Honeyheart, Otterstar's mate, to give birth on. She joins Runningflame when the tom leads a patrol to attack the rogues, and is horrified when Runningflame gives the order to attack, resulting in the death of Flamestripe. Even though Runningflame's act terrifies her, she defends him fiercely to the warriors calling him a monster. She receives an apprentice by the name of Meadowpaw and helps the apprentice come out of her shell. She notes that Meadowpaw is the daughter of Snowstorm, and believes that their father is Peartuft, a warrior of ThunderClan, rather than the named Gooseclaw of RiverClan. Meadowpaw later becomes a warrior by the name of Meadowdawn. Shimmerwing participates in many of the battles RiverClan endures, honing her battle skills and her tact for strategy. Her loyalty to her Clan and her friends grows stronger, and she is a respected warrior in her Clan.
When WindClan invades, Shimmerwing tries to warn Otterstar against jumping into battle, but Otterstar ignores her and attacks Swiftstar. Shimmerwing comes to his rescue when Otterstar loses a life, and takes a life from Swiftstar before retreating with Otterstar. Otterstar apologizes for not listening to her and swears he'll trust her from now on. Shimmerwing helps Dapplewing implement the empty-fort strategy in the camp, and joins her in the silent attack on WindClan's forces as they rest. Sharppaw, Otterstar's son, grows jealous of Shimmerwing spending so much time with his father, wondering why Otterstar trusts Shimmerwing so much over him. Shimmerwing tries to convince Sharppaw that it was just because his father trusted her as a warrior, but realizes that Sharppaw's anger is being encouraged by Marshfoot, Dapplewing's brother, who had always had it out for Shimmerwing.
Shimmerwing's mother, Willowstripe, is killed by a lone ShadowClan warrior. Furious and grief-stricken, Shimmerwing tells Otterstar they should ask Cloudsong, Willowstripe's killer, as a hostage from Lionstar. Otterstar agrees and travels to the ShadowClan camp with Shimmerwing and Dapplewing. Lionstar vehemently disagrees and orders his cats to attack the RiverClan cats. Otterstar kills Lionstar, and Shimmerwing blames herself for what she thought would avoid bloodshed ending in the death of a Clan leader. Otterstar tells Shimmerwing that he is thinking of choosing Marshfoot as his next deputy. Shimmerwing recalls the arrogance and haughtiness of the tom, and his blatant hatred towards his sister, and she insists that Marshfoot should not be the deputy, but Dapplewing. She tells Otterstar that Dapplewing has ambition and drive, while Marshfoot only wants what is best for him. Otterstar, trusting Shimmerwing's judgement, agrees and makes Dapplewing deputy.
Shimmerwing overhears that Marshfoot is planning to kill Dapplewing with Shadefire and Crookedfang. She tells Dapplewing of this immediately, and Dapplewing forces Marshfoot to ingest the poison he had planned to give to her. Shadefire and Crookedfang flee the scene, and Shimmerwing and Dapplewing follow them. Shimmerwing fights Shadefire fiercely and drives her out of RiverClan. When Otterstar despairs over his choice, Shimmerwing convinces him that he chose the right deputy. When Dapplewing becomes leader by the name of Dapplestar, she chooses Shimmerwing as her deputy and gives her an apprentice, Minnowpaw. Shimmerwing accompanies Dapplestar to meet Swiftstar, where Swiftstar tells Shimmerwing she can make a great land with Dapplestar by her side. Shimmerwing, although startled at the cruel tom's friendly assessment of her leader and his decree that she can make a great land, takes his words to heart. Shortly after, Dapplestar brings a rogue to live in the camp by the name of Shellpaw, and although Shimmerwing is hesitant about his arrival at first, she warms up to him when she sees how intelligent and crafty he is.
Cash's group becomes a heavy presence, and Dapplestar decides to lead a patrol to attack him, much to her Clans' chagrin. Shimmerwing joins her in the attack and kills Cash. She tells Dapplestar that she has defeated Cash, and asks her what she will do next. Dapplestar replies that she will defeat WindClan, and when Shimmerwing questions her on what she will do after, Dapplestar is silent. Shimmerwing tries to think of a way to defeat WindClan and decides that it would be best to work together with another Clan to defeat them, since Swiftstar had passed away and had grown weak in his old age when his younger and stronger son, Scorchstar, took over. Shimmerwing suggests to Dapplestar they ally with Talonstar and ShadowClan, and Talonstar agrees. The next day, on the battlefield, they find out that Talonstar betrayed them and is allying with WindClan instead. Shimmerwing and Shellpaw agree to lead the rear guard to let Dapplestar escape. Shimmerwing is prepared to fight for her life, but Shellpaw assures her there is another way to defeat WindClan and save their lives. Shimmerwing takes half of her patrol and leads WindClan to the waterfall, where they lure the moor cats into the raging waters. Shimmerwing waits out the night and goes back to camp, where she tells Dapplestar that she does not think this battle was a loss, but a sign that Dapplestar had to keep living.
With Shellpaw's help, Shimmerwing decides to try again with an ally, this time heading to Rootstar in ThunderClan. Rootstar denies her request, and Shimmerwing is about to leave with Shellpaw when she sees a ThunderClan apprentice being attacked by a fox. She and Shellpaw drive the fox off, saving the apprentice's life. Rootstar and Brookfeather, astonished by her bravery, change their mind and say they will join Shimmerwing in attacking WindClan and ShadowClan. Shimmerwing tells Dapplestar of her plan, who is less than impressed, but agrees to go on with the battle anyway. They defeat WindClan and ShadowClan with ThunderClan at their side. Shellpaw becomes a warrior with the name of Shellfall, and Shimmerwing is proud of him, and helps him when he comes up with an idea to take down Penny's camp from the inside. She leads the outer attack while Shellfall takes the inner fight. She defeats Penny easily and comforts Shellfall when they watch Dapplestar lose a life in front of them. Later, Shimmerwing joins the battle against ShadowClan when they accidentally send a fox that kills Redfern. She also manages to help convince Dapplestar that WindClan needs their shelter, and becomes unlikely friends with the WindClan apprentice, Hawkpaw.
Shimmerwing is fishing one day when Sharpfang tells her that Minnowflight was drowning in the river. Shimmerwing follows him and tries to save what she thinks is Minnowflight, but falls into the water and hits her head on a rock. Runningflame finds her and brings her back to camp, and while in the medicine den, Starlingfern and Dapplestar agree that she simply did not fall in the river. When Shimmerwing comes to, they ask her what happened, but Shimmerwing's memory is foggy and she cannot recall. Dapplestar concedes that Shimmerwing will tell her when it is time. Minnowflight is the cat accused of harming her, but the gray cat insists she would never harm her former mentor. While out on patrol, Dapplestar and Shimmerwing see two motherless kits in the snow. Shimmerwing convinces Dapplestar to take them in, and they bring the two kits back to camp, giving them to a RiverClan queen to nurse. They name them Moonkit and Sunkit and raise them as one of their own, with Shimmerwing showing an unlikely maternal side to her. Later on, with Shellfall's help, they drive away a dog attacking the WindClan warrior Hawkfire, and say they probably should not tell Dapplestar.
Shimmerwing watches as Peartuft rebels against ThunderClan and asks Dapplestar what she will do. Dapplestar replies she will side with the cat who comes to her first. Later, Shimmerwing receives another apprentice, Sunpaw. While hunting with Sunpaw, they find Thistlestorm and Stoneheart trespassing and bring them back to camp. Dapplestar decrees she will hold them until Talonstar comes to rescue them, and if they make a single move, they will face the price. Thistlestorm and Stoneheart are caught trying to escape, and Dapplestar orders them to be executed. Shimmerwing is nervous, unable to think execution is right for two cats, and hopes that Dapplestar is just kidding. When the time comes for them to be killed, Talonstar attacks the ShadowClan camp, and a fight breaks out. Eagleflight taunts Dapplestar about losing a life, and Shimmerwing kills him in a fit of rage, much to her dismay.
Shimmerwing, Shellfall, Rippleheart, and Runningflame are sent to investigate Peartuft's rebellion, and they meet Winterfall and Russetstripe doing the same thing. Shimmerwing chastises Winterfall when the silver tabby says he does not know the meaning of loyalty anymore. Shortly after, Moonpaw is kidnapped by the same ShadowClan warriors, Stoneheart and Thistlestorm. Dapplestar orders two patrols, one to attack, one to save Moonpaw. Shimmerwing goes on the patrol to save him and frets like a mother would. When Shimmerwing finds a small white she-kit on their territory, she is baffled but brings the kit to one of their nursing queens. She is even more shocked when Dapplestar says the small kit is a hostage for RiverClan, and finds her trust in her leader wavering. Shellfall is able to convince Shimmerwing that it is for the best, but Shimmerwing still harbors some doubts. Peartuft kidnaps Shimmerwing while she is out with Sunpaw, Runningflame, and Moonpaw. Dapplestar leads a patrol to rescue Shimmerwing from Peartuft, and just before Dapplestar is about to kill a surrendering Peartuft, Shellfall asks for mercy for the gray tabby, since he is surrendering. Dapplestar asks what Shimmerwing thinks, and Shimmerwing believes that they can help Peartuft learn what the warrior code really is. Dapplestar agrees and lets Peartuft live. The next day, Peartuft requests Dapplestar's assistance in his camp, and Shimmerwing comes with her. She hears Dapplestar declare her intention to become a living god.
Shimmerwing's thoughts on allying with Peartuft take a drastic turn when Peartuft poisons the island and is directly responsible for the death of a deaf WindClan apprentice. She begs Dapplestar to end her alliance with him, but Dapplestar states that she still needs Peartuft to unify the realm. Shimmerwing watches in horror as Peartuft and FierceClan attack ThunderClan and WindClan on the island. Later, Shimmerwing follows Runningflame into a tunnel when she sees the tom sneaking out of camp. Runningflame catches her, and confesses that he is going to visit Russetstripe, the cat he loves who is on her deathbed. Shimmerwing is hurt - she had an unrequited love for Runningflame her entire life, and Runningflame tells her that maybe, in a different world, things would change. Shimmerwing understands, loving Runningflame to the point where she just wants his happiness. She follows him and Blackdove through the tunnels and watches as Runningflame bids farewell to his dying, forbidden mate.
Dapplestar gives Shimmerwing another apprentice by the name of Petalpaw. Sharpfang is outraged, wondering if any other cat will have the chance to mentor an apprentice. Shimmerwing tries to defend herself, but Dapplestar gives Sharpfang Heronpaw as his apprentice and tells them that they will compete Petalpaw and Heronpaw against each other, to see who is the better mentor. Shimmerwing worries about Icepaw's treatment at Dapplestar's paws, seeing the cruel moves Icepaw learns and watching her blind her own father at Dapplestar's goading. She confides her worries to her friends, dismayed to learn that only Runningflame shares them. Shellfall tries to calm Shimmerwing down and tells her that Dapplestar is just teaching Icepaw the same moves she taught Iceshine and him.
While hunting, Shimmerwing is ambushed by Quickbreeze, discovering that the gray-and-white she-cat is trying to kill her and Dapplestar to take over RiverClan. Minnowflight comes to Shimmerwing's rescue, but she is knocked unconscious. Thistleflame and Rushfire take Shimmerwing and Minnowflight hostage and tell Shimmerwing that Dapplestar is dead. Shimmerwing refuses to believe it, declaring that Dapplestar is alive, and if it is true, that the toms must end their own lives in atonement. Shimmerwing is horrified to figure out that Blossomwing and Mistsong, her sister's daughters, are the ringleaders of the rebellion. She tries to appeal to Mistsong, but Mistsong simply states that she has to do what she must. She imprisons Shimmerwing in the elders' den with Runningflame and Rippleheart. Shellfall brings Icepaw and Moonshade and subdues Mistsong until Dapplestar, having lost a life but recovered enough, arrives back to camp. She executes the traitors, and although Shimmerwing is horrified at the ghastly punishment, she is even more terrified when she realizes that Dapplestar executed the expecting queen, Sparkfire.
Dapplestar receives news that FierceClan is not performing as well as they should be, and she sends Shimmerwing and Rippleheart to investigate. Shimmerwing is dismayed when she realizes that Peartuft recruited a rogue to be their medicine cat that has no knowledge of herbs. She joins Peartuft on one of his border attacks, and is shocked to see that ThunderClan has WindClan on their side, and also has a new recruitment of powerful cats from a faroff land. Dapplestar comes to FierceClan's camp and physically abuses two rogues that she believes are not fighting hard enough, and Shimmerwing tries to stop her leader. Dapplestar tells her that she has never lost a battle, and personally goes to confront ThunderClan. Shimmerwing watches as Dapplestar runs straight into Emberflame and his warriors, and she pulls herself into the battle to save Dapplestar. She is wounded in the fight, and Gooseclaw brings her back to camp. Shimmerwing recovers enough to join the next battle on the guardian cats that ThunderClan has. Dapplestar insists that they will bring them into the lake and drown them, since they are too powerful to beat in physical combat.
Shimmerwing catches her sister, Brightpool, leaving RiverClan territory, holding a quartz. Shimmerwing tries to get her sister back, but Brightpool says she cannot live in RiverClan anymore, now that her mate, Rowanshade, and her daughters, Mistsong and Blossomwing, are dead. Shimmerwing tries to convince her that she has Lightningcloud and Silverheart, but Brightpool is too traumatized by the execution of her mate and first litter. Brightpool tells her that if she loses the battle she plans to start, she wants the rainbow quartz to go to her. Shimmerwing begs her not to leave RiverClan, knowing she will have to fight her if she does. Brightpool does not listen and leaves the Clan. In camp, Sharpfang points out her disappearance, and Dapplestar sends Icepaw to look for her. Icepaw reports that she is in ThunderClan, and Dapplestar sends Shellfall to take care of her. Shimmerwing receives news that Brightpool had ended her own life. Dapplestar asks Shimmerwing if she knows where the quartz is, and Shimmerwing denies any knowledge of its location. Later, the ThunderClan warrior Lionflight brings Shimmerwing the rainbow quartz and says that her sister would have wanted her to have it.
Shimmerwing's apprentice, Petalpaw, is apparently killed by a ShadowClan warrior. Shimmerwing is outraged and wants revenge, but is horrified by Dapplestar's plan to torch the pine forest and kill every ShadowClan cat. Despite Shimmerwing's efforts to stop her, Dapplestar goes through with her plan and burns the pine forest. Shimmerwing is forced to fight in the battle, but spares the cats in her path and orders the warriors she sees to do the same thing. She comes across a young apprentice, fresh out of the nursery, who dies right in front of her. Shimmerwing realizes that this is wrong. When the battle is over, although the fire is still raging, Shimmerwing goes back to the border and sees Dapplestar walking out of the flames with Talonstar's head. For the first time, Shimmerwing is genuinely terrified of Dapplestar.
Shimmerwing realizes that Moonshade has been following her and has been passing her whereabouts to Dapplestar. Shimmerwing chastises Moonshade for this, driving a wedge between the two. Realizing that Moonshade has already told Dapplestar the truth, Shimmerwing gives the rainbow quartz to her leader, but Dapplestar simply dismisses it. Starlingfern asks Shimmerwing if she is tired of her role in the Clan, and Shimmerwing finds herself unable to answer the question. One day, while patrolling the burnt remains of ShadowClan territory, Shimmerwing comes upon Rootstar. She asks Rootstar if he will ally with RiverClan, and Rootstar denies her request, saying that if Shimmerwing led RiverClan, he would think about it. Dapplestar summons Shimmerwing and asks her what she spoke to Starlingfern about. Shimmerwing is determined to protect Starlingfern, knowing that the medicine cat said some things that Dapplestar may not approve of. She refuses to tell Dapplestar, and Dapplestar attacks her for it. Once Dapplestar calms down, and Shimmerwing stares at her, beaten and bloodied, the tortoiseshell leader states she will force Starlingfern to abdicate and find another medicine cat.
With the war against WindClan still raging, Dapplestar decides to torch the moorland as well to force them to surrender. Shimmerwing is adamantly against this and once more tries to sway Dapplestar, but her protests fall on deaf ears as Dapplestar burns the moorland, killing many innocent cats, including their medicine cat apprentice, Mallowleaf. Starlingfern tells Dapplestar that StarClan does not approve of her actions, and Dapplestar responds by dropping a concoction in the Moonpool that forces its waters to evaporate. Shimmerwing watches in horror, and not even Shellfall can say anything to her to ease her doubts. Shimmerwing is summoned again by Dapplestar to discuss the forced abdication of Starlingfern, replaced by one of Ryefern's kits. Shimmerwing argues that it is unethical to force Starlingfern to retire when she did not do anything, and that determining the future of one of Ryefern's kits was wrong. Dapplestar ignores her and orders her to pick one of Ryefern's kits to replace Starlingfern. Shimmerwing speaks to Ryefern, recalling a nightmare she has about trying to knock down a tree that Dapplestar is perched on. Lost in her thoughts, Shimmerwing travels to the moorland where she sees a WindClan warrior, Heathercloud, searching for dead bodies. Shimmerwing out loud wonders to herself what Swiftstar would do, and Heathercloud tells her that Swiftstar would poison Dapplestar. She tells Shimmerwing that the Dapplestar she knows was created by Shimmerwing and Swiftstar, and that Shimmerwing has to atone for what she has done. Shimmerwing takes Heathercloud's words to mind when she leaves.
Shimmerwing is ordered to host a feast for Peartuft, and even though she tries her best, Dapplestar chastises her publicly in the middle of it, humiliating her in front of everyone. She orders Icepaw to take her away, and the next day, Dapplestar apologizes to her but says she just wanted to see how Peartuft would react. Then, Dapplestar tells her she wants her to kill Rootstar, the last leader standing in the way of total unification. Shimmerwing finds herself unable to do this - she respects Rootstar immensely and knows he has nothing to do with the battles. Instead, Shimmerwing turns on Dapplestar with Runningflame, Sunshine, and Minnowflight. She travels to the pine forest where Dapplestar is resting in preparations to attack ThunderClan. Dapplestar sets the forest on fire once she hears of Shimmerwing's betrayal, and the former friends face off in a final battle. Dapplestar attacks her first, and Shimmerwing is able to fend her off for a bit until Dapplestar turns and walks into the flames, knowing the battle is unwinnable. Shellfall comes at the last moment and sees Dapplestar burning. He tries to save her, but Shimmerwing pulls him back, telling him that Dapplestar is no more. Shellfall declares Shimmerwing a traitor who tried to kill Dapplestar and challenges her for her leadership in RiverClan. RiverClan breaks into two, one part led by Shellfall, the other by Shimmerwing. They face off in a final battle, where Shellfall's forces have the higher ground and the more manpower. Shimmerwing is hesitant to attack her Clanmates, but knows she has no choice. Sharpfang attacks her, and Shimmerwing finds out that he was the one who pushed her into the waterfall and tried to kill her. Shimmerwing offers to forgive Sharpfang if he surrenders, but Sharpfang refuses and falls into the gorge. Shimmerwing watches him plummet, wondering if he did it on purpose.
Shimmerwing's forces look as if they are about to fall when Swiftcloud gathers reinforcements from ShadowClan, WindClan, and ThunderClan. These reinforcements change the course of battle and forces Shellfall to flee with the cats that live. Many of Shimmerwing's cats have died, but she wins the battle and is the rightful leader of RiverClan. Overnight, Rippleheart arrives to her makeshift camp and tells her that Shellfall has surrendered. Shimmerwing asks what happened to him, but Rippleheart says nothing. Shimmerwing declares him dead and brings her cats back to RiverClan.
She becomes leader with the name of Shimmerstar, although Otterstar is only able to give her eight lives instead of nine, since there was no sign of Dapplestar in StarClan or the Dark Forest. Shimmerstar helps the other Clans defeat Peartuft and FierceClan for the final time, and Shimmerstar brings all four Clans onto the island, where she asks them to unite together in an era of peace and friendship, so the wars will stop. Scorchstar, Nightstar, and Rootstar agree, and there is peace within the Clans.
Shimmerstar takes on Shellpaw, Rippleheart's son, as her apprentice. She names him Shellheart, in honor of Shellfall.

## Theme song

* **I See Stars** by Erika Henningsen

## Quotes

"*She’ll always hold out doing everything she can until the bitter end, that one. Always has. But, if you’re in a place where all is fair game... you’ll never meet a more terrifying warrior in all your life.*"
—Dapplestar about Shimmerwing

"*I didn't want to fight needlessly. But now I see clearly. That approach will get us nowhere in the world. No matter how lofty our ideals, we cannot change the world without the strength to back it up. In order to make a world without war, we have no choice but to fight for now. For now, we must continue to fight.*"
—Shimmerwing to Minnowpaw

**Shimmerwing**: "*Dapplestar. If you ask me, this battle was not a loss. You are alive. While you live, there is always a next time. So long as there is a next time, we will eventually make a great land. Once we have a great land, we will have peace. And then, the diamond dove will come.*"

**Dapplestar**: "*The diamond dove. I remember.*"

**Shimmerwing**: "*On my way here, as I fled through my pursuers through the night, I thought I heard its song.*"

**Dapplestar**: "*The diamond dove's song?*"
**Shimmerwing**: "*Yes.*"
**Dapplestar**: "*What did it sing?*"
**Shimmerwing**: "'*There will be a next time for Dapplestar.' So it sang.*"
**Dapplestar**: "*You heard it sing that, didn't you? You're a funny cat, Shimmerwing.*"
**Shimmerwing**: "*Report to your Clanmates. Even in the face of Talonstar’s betrayal, you brought back your entire Clan with only one casualty. No one but you could inspire such unity. You can report that to the Clan. You can tell them that you came back alive, and there will be a next time.*"

—Shimmerwing and Dapplestar

**Shimmerwing**: "*Swiftstar once told me that, with Dapplestar, I should make a new realm. I am nothing without Dapplestar. If I were to poison her, I would be poisoning myself. It amounts to the same.*"

**Heathercloud**: "*Then, that means, the Dapplestar you know was created by Swiftstar... and you. Now, she has started acting on her own, in ways you have never predicted. It must be done. The creators must answer for their creation. Am I wrong?*"

—Shimmerwing and Heathercloud
