**Tigerstar** is a big, dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes.

**Tigerstar** is the leader of ShadowClan in the forest territories. **Tigerkit** was born to Sparrowheart and an unknown she-cat alongside his unnamed sister, Mosspaw, and Pouncepaw. He was apprenticed to Nightfog as **Tigerpaw**. But after growing bitter because of the constant abuse from his littermates, Crowmask recruited him in the Dark Forest to become a better warrior. He then killed Mosspaw and Pouncepaw after being manipulated and driven to hatred by his mentors, Dog-growl and Crowmask. He received his warrior name, **Tigerfang**, and became mates with Kestrelblossom. He ascended to deputyship when he killed Skyheart. Kestrelblossom, his former mate, had Thornkit, Willowkit, and Cherrykit, although he chose to remain absent from their lives.

After Pebblestar had died from being bitten by a snake, Tigerfng was rewarded his nine lives, and renamed to **Tigerstar**. As leader, he was cunning, and violet, and killed Owlstar whilst he was still a very young leader. Later, he took advantage of StarClan's silence by spreading that they are angry with the Clans for spoiling the warrior code.

#### Tigerstar's Rage

Tigerkit is born to an unnamed she-cat and Sparrowheart alongside his brothers Mosskit and Pouncekit, and also an unnamed sister. He grows up bullied and pushed out by his brothers, eventually leading them to attack him and causing a rivalry between them. He soon becomes an apprentice called Tigerpaw with Nightfog as his mentor. He begins to train in the Dark Forest through his hatred toward his littermates. He meets Jaypaw at a Gathering, and the two become friends. He is then eventually convinced that he has to kill his brothers, doing so and getting away with their murders.

As a warrior, Tigerfang becomes mates with Kestrelblossom, and helps plan an attack on ThunderClan. He quickly becomes a well respected warrior amongst his Clanmates, although he and his mate split after she admits to expecting kits. When Dawnstripe, his foster mother, suspects him of murder, he kills her through the help of his loner friends: Vine and Shade, and then later takes a life from the WindClan leader Gorsestar in a fit of blind rage. He soon grows ambitious, and takes it upon himself to kill the deputy, Skyheart, in hopes that he will be chosen to fit her place with the help of Ashstripe and Rowanclaw. He is then made deputy, and soon after that, Kestrelblossom has three kits: Thornkit, Willowkit and Cherrykit.Not long after, he helps Sparkfire off of the thunderpath after a monster cripples her leg, and enforces the idea that she can still help with warrior duties to her parents.

A snake is spotted inside of camp, and Pebblestar, oblivious, is bitten whilst his back is turned, he loses his last life. Tigerfang and Patchfur head to the Moonpool, where he receives his lives, before joining his brother, Mosspaw, on a walk inside of StarClan territory. Mosspaw apologizes, but Tigerstar refuses to listen. He then returns back to ShadowClan as their new leader and promises to become great.
