ForestClan/History

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.*
This page details the history and eras of ForestClan.

## Eras

### Ashstar

Ashstar's reign is the beginning of ForestClan's era. His deputies were Wood Of Oak Tree (**Oakwood**) and Bird Flying Between Vines (**Birdflight**), and his medicine cats was Feather Of Raven's Wing (**Ravenfeather**).

Ashy Remains Of Fire was chosen by Stonestar for his skill in shadows, speed along trees, and stealth within the forest. He selected cats that were willing to hunt in the shade of the forest and were strong enough to climb up trees while both hunting and fighting on them. He chose the most forested area as his territory, as his skills would allow his Clan to hunt well.

While tensions rose within the Clans, Ashstar was the one to manage to get the Clans to get along peacefully, though it took a few moons in order to do so. He was known as the kinder leaders, but also viewed as weak because of it. Windstar took advantage of this, leading his Clan into battle against ForestClan. This resulted in Ashstar losing one of his nine lives, while Oakwood lost his only one. Ashstar appointed Vineleap, Oakwood's sister, as the next deputy, as she was equal in strength and in smarts as her brother.

Ashstar is remembered and respected for generations to come for his kindness and ambition, and for being one of the founders of the five Clans. Stories, whether they be truth or myth, are still told to kits during the current moons.

### Dreamstar

Dreamstar was an ancient leader of ForestClan, many seasons after Ashstar and his deputy's. Her own deputy was Kestrelsong, and her medicine cat was Frostfern. She lived during the fall of NightClan, also being one of the leaders who had helped chase them far from the territory.

While she was once trustful and helpful when appointed leader, Dreamstar's soul blackened as she constantly lashed out at her own Clanmates and grew distrustful of the other Clans. On her last life, she starts a battle against StreamClan after smelling their scent on ForestClan territory. This resulted in her own death, by Shellstar.

### Nightstar

Nightstar became leader many seasons after Dreamstar had, more into the modern era of the forest. His deputies were Flowersong, Lionfang, and Oakmist. His medicine cats were Sunheart and Cinderleaf.

He was a more calm leader, refusing any battle that wasn't necessary and often helping Clans with what he considered minor things, such as sharing prey or offering a piece of territory for leaf-bare. He was viewed as both weak and cowardly for such things. Nightstar never fought unless it was a direct attack on his Clan.

His last life was taken by Darkrose of HillClan during a great battle at the Gathering Stones. He received a prophecy from an ancient leader, Moonstar, telling it to his brother, Flamesong in his dying moments. He was one of the StarClan cats to give Oakstar a life of trust and kindness. Nightstar was also one of the StarClan cats who gave Rockstar a life, one of adventure.

### Treestar

Distantly related to Nightstar, Treestar takes over leadership of ForestClan closer to the events of the Eternity Moon series. His deputies were Goldheart, Tigershade, and Petalstorm, and his medicine cats are Mintleaf, Cloudsong, and Lightfeather.

He led ForestClan through the reign of Froststar, as well as against Blue's rogue army. He was originally mates with Goldenbreeze, one of his childhood friends, and had five kits with her; Silverkit, Maplekit, Tigerkit, Leafkit, and Petalkit. **Mapleclaw** and **Silverfang** were exiled for planning against Tigershade and Treestar, changing their names to **Autumn** and **Bolt**.

When older, Treestar mated with another she-cat, Whiteflower, seasons after Goldenbreeze had passed. Together, they had three kits; Pinekit, Barkkit, and Oakkit. While Barkkit died of poisoning not many moons later, and **Oakpaw** during a badger attack, **Pineleap** grew to be quite a great warrior.

Treestar was a very protective leader of his Clan, not hesitating to attack anything that acted as a threat. During Froststar's attack, he fought off SunClan cats along with StreamClan, sparing any that decided to give up under his claws. During the rogue attack on ForestClan, he scratched up one of the rogues enough that they would die of blood loss, though he regretted it not too long afterwards.

On his last life, Treestar retired to the elder's den, allowing Petalstorm to take charge. He spent many moons in peace, enjoying the time as an elder. Treestar used his final life to do what he enjoyed; protecting his Clan. He was killed by injuries from an intruding fox. While he was unable to give his daughter a life, he gave one to **Rockstar** for protecting his Clan.

### Petalstar

Petalstar succeeded Treestar, her deputies were **Leafshine** and **Rockwind**. Her medicine cats were Lightfeather and Fireleaf.

Petalstar made sure that her leadership was like her father's; respected and remembered amongst the Clans. She was currently mates with Redfur during her time of being a leader, but she appointed her own sister as the first deputy in her era. Petalstar lost lives due to attacking rogue groups or traps set up by other Clans. On her last life, she appointed Rockwind as her new deputy, as Leafshine lost her life in a battle against Blazestar.

Her last life was taken away by her own sister, Autumn, after a sneak into camp and quick killing bite to the neck. While in StarClan, Petalstar hasn't given any leaders a life, but often visits Fireleaf, her nephew, a couple of half-moons when he comes to the Moonstone.

### Rockstar

Rockstar succeeded Petalstar, his deputy being Grassheart. His medicine cats are Lightfeather and Fireleaf.

Being a distant relative to Stonestar and half-son of Mountain, cat of almost all Clans were a bit wary of Rockstar becoming ForestClan leader, especially with the fact that Rockstar always refused to talk, or couldn't in general. While he was able to speak through actions and tail signals, he had Grassheart be his words for things that couldn't be expressed.

Rockstar accepted any cat willing to fight and protect the Clan, whether they were Clanborn or not. He's even allowed a wounded rogue to join ForestClan; Venomclaw, which resulted in a secretly planned attack on ForestClan, causing Rockstar to lose a life. But as soon as he got back up he chased the rogues away. Even so, he allows loners and kittypets to join, but rogues are to be chased off on sight.

During Blizzardclaw's attacks on the Clans, Rockstar is one of the few to confront him and attempt to use words rather than claws. This fails, resulting in another life being ripped away from Rockstar. He fought in the battle against Blizzardclaw's supporters, VenomClan, and a group of rogues together, losing a third life, but easily getting back up and continuing to defend the forest.

After the battle, Rockstar works with Grassheart to restore the camp, continuing his time as the leader of ForestClan.
