Firestar

Characteristics:

Firestar is loyal, kind, generous, heroic, and trustworthy. He will always do what he believes to be right or will help the most cats, even if that means disobeying orders or going behind his leaders back. He is the book series definition of good.

Motives:

Firestar used to be a kitty pet (what the cats from the books series call pets) until he one day set off to go on an adventure in the forest outside his territory where he was soon taken in by ThunderClan (the warrior cat series consists of six clans, ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, SkyClan and StarClan) and he was accepted into the clan and allowed to be trained as an apprentice and his name was changed from Rusty (his kittypet name) to Firepaw (the suffix, paw, means he is an apprentice). However, he was constantly ridiculed for growing up as a kittypet and he tried to prove his worth several times through out the book series and yet even in the current books they will still criticize and ridicule him for his backgrounds even though he proved to be a hero for the clans. Tigerstar, the main antagonist for the first six books, was discovered to be a villain by Firepaw, Graypaw and Ravenpaw. Firestar wanted to also save his clan and leader from the treacherous Tigerstar and to become leader. When Tigerstar was gone, he wanted nothing more once he was leader to save all the clans from BloodClan, led by another antagonist, Scourge. He did and in the next arc, he wanted to figure out the meaning of the prophecy, ‘There will be three, kin of your kin, who will hold the power of the stars in their paws’ and who those cats were which he eventually did. Firestar then wanted to save the clans yet again when the Dark Forest cats (where all evil cats that had died go who are not accepted into StarClan) who had figured out how to escape their prison and head into the world of the living, trying to destroy them all. Firestar fought and killed Tigerstar’s ghost once and for all and then he was struck by lighting and died of his injuries. In StarClan (where all good cats go after they die if they believe in it) all he wanted to do was hang out with his friend and family and be at peace until his world was yet again threatened by a new antagonist, Ashfur. Now all he wants is to make it so StarClan can access the living cats and communicate with them and to get rid of Bramblestar’s imposter.

Fears:

Firestar feared before he joined the clans that he would be taken to the cutter, or what the clan cats called the vet. He also had feared that the clan cats were cruel and vicious and would hurt him badly if he trespassed on their territory, which he was wrong about. He, once he was taken in by the clan, feared that he wouldn't be accepted by them and that he would always be patronized for growing up as a kittypet. He also feared about Tigerstar, who he and his two friends, Ravenpaw and Graystripe, had figured out that he was actually evil before anyone else and had to try to convince their leader that Tigerstar had killed her previous deputy to be next in line for leadership. When the cats had finally discovered Tigerstar was a villain they exiled him but before they did, Tigerstar threatened Firestar that he would kill him one day which also scared him. When they had defeated Tigerstar he had also feared how they would defeat BloodClan, a clan of rouges led by a tiny cat who was once a kittypet.

Dreams:

Firestar has had several prophetic dreams in his life, some of them just talking to his dead ancestors and them visiting his dreams. Those are the only ones the readers have been shown since those are the only really important ones. Other warriors have described various times in the books that when he dreams he often yowls out and sleep talks and makes it harder for everyone else to get shut eye. Desires:

Firestar has always just wanted to live a happy life with his friends, family, and clan where everyone is safe and at peace. He wants everyone to be happy and to save all cats from trouble. He also wants the clan cats to not look at other kittypets with disrespect and he has shown this several times during his life when he would bring in kittypets to join ThunderClan after he was made leader and during his life ThunderClan began to be known as the clan that harbored kittypets and loners. ThunderClan had also began to be known as a smug clan who always stuck its nose in other clans' problems while Firestar was leader since he would always try to help not only his clan but all the clans equally.
