History
Moonkit was born to Graywind and Thornfire when Hawkstar was leader and ThunderClan was small and brand-new. Her sister Ashkit died soon after her birth, driving Graywind crazy with grief and guilt that she could not keep her daughter alive.

Also in the nursery was Hawkstar’s mate Briarflower and her kit, Stormkit. He had also lost his littermates and the two kits became close friends.

When Moonstar was an apprentice, Graywind was killed when she was struck by a falling tree. Her father Thornfire took a new mate after his grief had past, Leafstem.

Soon, Stormpaw and Moonpaw took their warrior names, Stormclaw and Moonshine.

Moonshine’s stepmother Leafstem had three new kits, Amberkit, Elderkit, and Sunkit,  playful little bundles of fur.

Time passed quickly, and when Moonshine blinked she was now the deputy of ThunderClan. Thornfire had died of greencough along with Elderkit and it was his daughter’s turn to take his place. Her new job kept her busy and she was content with her life. She even trained her sister, Sunpaw, and watched her become Sunmist.

But then, tragedy struck. The Clan’s beloved leader Hawkstar was killed on a Thunderpath. He bravely saved his son Stormclaw when he was chasing a squirrel and did not see the monster coming. His father shoved him aside but it was too late to save himself. The monster raced over Hawkstar, taking his last life.

Moonshine was now in charge of ThunderClan. She and her half sister and medicine cat, Ambershine trudged to Mothermouth and Moonshine received her nine lives and name, Moonstar, leader of ThunderClan.

As leader, Moonstar trained Brightsky, the kit of Sunmist, and then Flameheart the kit of Brightsky. Tragically, Flameheart was killed before he could have any offspring, so her current apprentice, Specklepaw is not his kit, but his sister.
