Biography

Bramblestar is a dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Bramblestar is the current leader of ThunderClan in the lake territories. He was born as Bramblekit to Tigerclaw and Goldenflower in ThunderClan with his sister Tawnypelt. His father was exiled from ThunderClan after he attempted to murder Bluestar, and Bramblekit constantly attempted to prove himself free of his father's shadow. As an apprentice, Bramblepaw was mentored by Fireheart so the latter could keep a close eye on him. As a warrior, Brambleclaw was chosen to go on a quest to find Midnight, and he grew close with Squirrelpaw. At their new home, Brambleclaw became deputy with the promise to mentor Berrynose, and he killed his half-brother, Hawkfrost, when he trapped Firestar for Brambleclaw to kill. Brambleclaw became a father to Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf, but later broke up with Squirrelflight when it was revealed their true parents were Crowfeather and Leafpool. He became leader of ThunderClan as Bramblestar after Firestar died in the Great Battle and appointed Squirrelflight as his deputy. They forgave each other and had four kits of their own: Alderheart, Sparkpelt, Juniperkit, and Dandelionkit. Bramblestar eventually fell ill, and without the guidance of StarClan, he died. However, a spirit possessed his body instead, leaving Bramblestar trapped as a ghost and the spirit posing as the ThunderClan leader. He sought help from Rootpaw who was able to convince multiple cats of Bramblestar's situation. The impostor trapped Bramblestar in the Place of No Stars until he was freed by Shadowsight. Squirrelflight revealed his body is inhabited by Ashfur seeking vengeance on Squirrelflight. However, Bramblestar's spirit remained missing, and the Clans decided to kill Ashfur, but Ashfur escaped with Bramblestar's body into the Moonpool with Squirrelflight. Bramblestar remained trapped in the Dark Forest, under control by Ashfur until the intervention of Shadowsight, Rootspring, and eventually the Dark Forest spirit Snowtuft. Bramblestar was reunited with his body and escaped back to the Clans with Squirrelflight. However, Bramblestar remained traumatized by his time in the Dark Forest and how Ashfur used his body and name to wreck havoc on the Clans, adopting a more pacificist approach to matters and opting to avoid violence when possible.
