29
30* {{Determinator}}: They have been driven out of their homes over and over, even ''going extinct'' at one point--yet they continue to endure, start over, and thrive.
31* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'', they takes it upon themselves to defeat the Twoleg who keeps abusing cats.
32* TheExile:
33** They are exiled from the forest years ago when Twolegs took over their territory. None of the Clans would help them.
34** [[spoiler:They are again exiled from their home in ''Hawkwing's Journey'' when Darktail and his rogues drove them out.]]
35* FightingForAHomeland: When they were exiled from the forest. [[spoiler:Again, when they're exiled from the gorge.]]
36* FromStrayToPet: A few of the last remaining members of Old [=SkyClan=] became kittypets when the Clan finally split up.
37* ItsRainingMen: The "Skydrop" move that they developed.
38* APetIntoTheWild: Many of New [=SkyClan=] were kittypets who left their homes to join the Clan.
39* TraumaCongaLine: Out of all the Clans, [=SkyClan=] has perhaps suffered the most. They were abandoned by the other Clans and exiled from the forest when Twolegs destroyed their territory. They were driven out of the gorge, their new home, by rats, [[spoiler:and more permanently by Darktail. They endured a long journey, losing members, and when they thought they found a new place to settle, had to flee from there too]]. Even their beginning was rough--their [[Literature/WarriorCatsDawnOfTheClans first leader]] [[spoiler:was a tyrant, and when he reformed, he was temporarily exiled and the Clan taken over by an even worse tyrant]].
40* {{Unperson}}: After their exile from the forest, the other Clans ceased talking about [=SkyClan=] entirely out of shame for what they'd done. Since the Clans have no written records, only oral tradition, this meant that [=SkyClan=] was eventually forgotten by the later generations and had no trace of their existence left.
41* WalkingSpoiler: Any mention of [=SkyClan=], the lost "fifth Clan" that was once disbanded and reformed, whose very existence is a massive spoiler for Firestar's Quest and the sixth series.
42* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Due to the battle with the rats at the end of ''Firestar's Quest'', most of [=SkyClan=] is scared of rats.

48[[folder:Leaders and Deputies]]
49!!Skystar
50->"[=SkyClan=] will never end! We have suffered great losses before, only to rise and thrive again."
51
52The legendary founder of [=SkyClan=]. Mentioned in ''Cloudstar's Journey''. For more information about him, see his entry [[Characters/WarriorCatsDawnOfTheClans here.]]
53----
54* FamedInStory: Still remembered many years after his death as the cat that founded [=SkyClan=].
55* FounderOfTheKingdom: He founded [=SkyClan=].
56* TheLeader: Clear Sky was the first leader of [=SkyClan=].
57* {{Retcon}}: Was called Sky in ''Code of the Clans'', but ''Cloudstar's Journey'' has him called Clear Sky. Can be {{hand wave}}d or justified by ''Secrets of the Clans'', which says that the Dawn of the Clans happened so long ago that each version is told differently.
58
59!!Beechstar
60->"They won't be safe for long. [=RiverClan=] will not be content with my death. [=SkyClan=] must attack before they do. Take the battle into their territory this time. And make sure we win."
61
62The leader of [=SkyClan=] shortly before the code about the deputy replacing the leader was established.
63----
64* KingOnHisDeathbed: As he dies of an injury, he spends his last breaths naming his successor.
65* TheLeader: Of [=SkyClan=].
66* {{Nepotism}}: Appointed his son, Mothpelt, to succeed him as leader.
67
68!!Maplestar (Maplewhisker)
69->"And I'm not mouse-brained enough to think that my Clan doesn't need me. If Mothpelt agrees, then I'll lead [=SkyClan=]."
70
71The deputy under Beechstar, and eventually, after Mothpelt's disastrous attempt to attack [=RiverClan=], the leader of [=SkyClan=].
72----
73* TheCameo: Appears in ''Cloudstar's Journey''.
74* TheLeader: Of [=SkyClan=].
75* NumberTwo: To Beechstar, before his death, and briefly to Mothpelt, before realizing she, as the most qualified, should be leader herself.
76* UndyingLoyalty: To [=SkyClan=], and to its leader, regardless of who it is. Despite sharing Robinwing's doubts about Mothpelt's leadership skills, she agrees to follow him. After he attacks [=RiverClan=] in a flood, she realizes she is a better leader, but decides to assume command if Mothpelt himself agrees.
77
78!!Darkstar
79->"No other leader should have to face such insubordination in front of the other Clans. I propose a law that the word of a leader is the warrior code. What we say must never be challenged. [=StarClan=] gave us the power to lead; [=StarClan=] would wish it to be so."
80
81The leader of [=SkyClan=] at the time the thirteenth code was established.
82----
83* FamedInStory: He's remembered, at least until [=SkyClan=] was driven out, as the reason for the thirteenth code. He claims in [=StarClan=] that his contribution to the code was the greatest.
84* TheLeader: Of [=SkyClan=].
85* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His decision to give some of his Clan's territory to [=ThunderClan=], while well-intentioned, ended up costing [=SkyClan=] its home when Twolegs started destroying their territory. While they would have lost it anyway due to Smudge's home being built on the location of their camp, the missing territory caused them to be forced out quicker.
86* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are two [=RiverClan=] leaders, one in ''Code of the Clans'' who led at the time of the inspiration for the third code to be created, and one during Mapleshade's time, who were both named Darkstar.
87* SeriesContinuityError: He's called Duskstar in ''Cloudstar's Journey''.
88* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In addition to the NiceJobBreakingItHero above, the thirteenth code has also allowed cruel leaders like Brokenstar, Tigerstar and Bramblestar's imposter (Ashfur possessing Bramblestar's body) to rule unchallenged because thanks to him, the code says a leader's word is law.
89
90!!Raincloud
91->"Did you really want this, [=StarClan=]? What happens when a leader comes who wants to change everything? Turn the Clans against one another, wipe out all the values we have ever lived by? What will you do then?"
92
93Darkstar's deputy at the time the thirteenth code was established.
94----
95* ArmorPiercingQuestion: She questions [=StarClan=] about allowing the thirteenth code. As seen by the actions of some future leaders, she was right to do so.
96* CommanderContrarian: Disagrees with Darkstar's choice to give up a quarter of [=SkyClan=]'s territory, to the point of challenging it at a Gathering.
97* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While [=SkyClan=] would still have lost the territory, if she hadn't publicly challenged Darkstar, he would never have proposed that a leader's word be unchallengeable law. Without that code, a lot of problems caused by Brokenstar, Tigerstar, and Ashfur (possessing Bramblestar's body) could have been avoided.
98* NumberTwo: To Darkstar.
99* OnlySaneWoman: In her story, she questions Darkstar's choice to give up territory and silently is against the thirteenth code. Unfortunately, all the other leaders agree to it despite her thoughts, and it becomes law.
100* RageAgainstTheHeavens: See her quote.
101
102!!Flystar
103
104The leader of [=SkyClan=] before Cloudstar.
105----
106* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Once he finds out his Clan has dealt with the kittypet problem while he was away, he doesn't tell them what [=StarClan=] told him, or if they said anything at all.
107* TheLeader: Of ancient [=SkyClan=].
108
109!!Petalfall
110->"I will fight alongside you, and with [=StarClan=]'s blessing, we will win. But if I were you, I'd be careful about dismissing our ancestors so lightly. We owe them everything, and it is a debt that will never be repaid."
111
112The deputy of ancient [=SkyClan=] under Flystar, before Cloudstar.
113----
114* CommanderContrarian: Wonders if attacking the kittypets is the right thing to do, and would rather place her faith in [=StarClan=] to handle it, though Cloudstorm convinces her it's the right thing.
115* CoolOldLady: As an elder, she gives up food when the territory is being destroyed so the queens won't go hungry.
116* ICouldaBeenAContender: Had to step down from the deputyship due to a sickness that caused her to have seizures.
117* NumberTwo: To Flystar, before she retired.
118
119!!Cloudstar (Cloudstorm)
120->"[=StarClan=] may go where they please. They have ''betrayed'' [=SkyClan=]. From this day on, I will have nothing more to do with our warrior ancestors. [=StarClan=] allowed the Twolegs to destroy our home. They look down on us now, and let the moon go on shining while you drive us out. They said there would always be five Clans in the forest, but they ''lied''. [=SkyClan=] will never look to the stars again."
121
122[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7126d55b689d61586ac73678a073ae65.jpg]]
123[[caption-width-right:278:"I have waited long for you to come, a strong cat, a leader, and one who bears no taint of our betrayal in his blood. You are not descended from the cats that drove us out, and yet you are a true Clan warrior. It is your destiny to rebuilt [=SkyClan=]."]]
124
125An ancient leader, and the last [=SkyClan=] leader of the forest. As a young warrior, he questioned [=StarClan=], but he grew to become a very devout believer in their guidance and power. However, when his home was destroyed and his Clan was driven from the forest, all his old doubts returned and he swore that [=SkyClan=] would never follow [=StarClan=] again. He led his Clan on a long journey and they eventually found a new home, but it was not enough and they died out.
126
127After his death, he watched over the Clans for years, bitter because of [=SkyClan=]'s exile. Finally, in ''Firestar's Quest'', he appeared again, this time speaking to Firestar. Firestar was born a kittypet, and thus was a leader not descended from the cats that had driven [=SkyClan=] from the forest. Cloudstar begged Firestar to rebuilt [=SkyClan=] as penance for how the other four Clans had driven them from the forest. This began Firestar's longest and greatest journey.
128----
129* ADayInTheLimelight: He got his own eBook novella called ''Cloudstar's Journey''. Earlier, he got two stories in ''Battles of the Clans'': "The Defeated Clan" and "A Lesson to Kittypet Thieves".
130* BrokenAce: He was confident, strong, and charismatic, but [=SkyClan=]'s exile completely broke him and shattered his belief in [=StarClan=]. [[spoiler:He finally gets better once his spirit is reunited with the spirit of his mate during Leafstar's nine lives ceremony.]]
131* CrisisOfFaith: His novella ''Cloudstar's Journey'' features him losing his faith entirely in [=StarClan=]. Unlike most examples of this trope he never regains his faith until after his death.
132* DisappearedDad: He ultimately becomes this to his kits Gorseclaw and Spottedpelt, as he's forced to leave them behind in [=ThunderClan=] because they wouldn't survive the journey.
133* TheExile: He and his Clan were driven out of the forest.
134* HappilyMarried: To Birdflight. Having to leave her and their kits behind in [=ThunderClan=] while he found a new home for his Clan broke him, to the point of describing his dreams as empty, and that his fresh-kill as tasting like nothing.
135* IWillWaitForYou: He promises Birdflight that he will wait for her until they are reunited in death.
136* TheLeader: He was the leader of [=SkyClan=] many moons before ''Into the Wild'' happened.
137* NayTheist: Vows that he and his whole Clan will cease to worship [=StarClan=] since he feels that they betrayed [=SkyClan=] by allowing their territory to be destroyed and by allowing the other Clans to drive them out.
138* ThePromise: With her dying breaths, Petalfall asks Cloudstar to promise her that he won't let Twolegs drive them from their territory. He promises that "as long as I have my nine lives, we will never leave the forest", but is ultimately unable to keep that promise.
139* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Blames [=StarClan=] for [=SkyClan=] being driven out and swears that he will never follow them again.
140* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As leader, he renounces [=StarClan=] after his Clan is driven out, but allows his warriors to keep looking to their ancestors, reasoning after everything they have lost, he can't take their faith away too.
141* RousingSpeech: He gives one to his Clan in ''Cloudstar's Journey'' after they lose an important battle, in order to keep their spirits up and encourage them to fight another day.
142* SensingYouAreOutmatched: In ''Cloudstar's Journey'' he realizes that his starving, weakened Clanmates cannot win against strong, healthy [=ThunderClan=] warriors.
143* SpiritAdvisor: Appears to Firestar and tells him to rebuild [=SkyClan=].
144* StarCrossedLovers: Was separated from his mate Birdflight and believed that he would never see her again. [[spoiler:However, they do end up reunited in the afterlife.]]
145* TooUnhappyToBeHungry: After he and his Clan are driven out of the forest, having to leave his mate and kits behind in the process, he laments in his inner monologue, "When I sleep, my dreams are dark and empty, and whatever I eat tastes of nothing."
146
147!!Buzzardstar (Buzzardtail)
148->"Even after watching the heartbreaking defeat of the Clanmates who came after me, I knew that [=SkyClan=] could live again, strong and proud and preserved by the warrior code."
149
150The leader of Ancient [=SkyClan=] after Cloudstar.
151----
152* GoodParents: To his kits, mentioned to have been soft when they were born. Also very concerned when Mintpaw, one of them, is injured by a falling tree.
153* InformedAttribute: As an apprentice, he had a reputation for taking on cats twice his size, according to Cloudstorm. While he is eager to fight the kittypets encroaching on their territory, this doesn't come up again.
154* TheLeader: To [=SkyClan=], while they lived in the gorge.
155* MrExposition: As a spirit, he's the one who tells the kittypets about [=SkyClan=]'s battle strategies in ''Battles of the Clans''.
156* NumberTwo: To Cloudstar.
157* SpiritAdvisor: A variation. In ''Battles of the Clans'', his spirit is the one who tells the kittypets about his Clan's ways of fighting.
158
159!!Spiderstar
160->"May [=StarClan=] light a path for all of us. We still live on, but our Clan has died."
161
162The last leader of the Ancient [=SkyClan=]. He disbanded his Clan after it became clear that they could not survive the threat of the rats. Appears in the DistantPrologue of ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny''.
163----
164* BreakingTheFellowship: He disbands [=SkyClan=] in a flashback sequence.
165* IChooseToStay: After he dissolves [=SkyClan=], he and Brackenheart stay behind to protect the elders, while most of the Clan leave to become kittypets or rogues.
166* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He realizes his Clan can't beat the rats, and they'll all be killed if they stay, so he disbands the Clan.
167* TheLeader: The last leader of the original [=SkyClan=], to be precise.
168
169!!Honeyleaf
170->"I never thought I'd hear a [=SkyClan=] warrior say that! The warrior code lives in all of us, when we hunt and fight and give thanks for the life of a Clan cat."
171
172The last deputy of ancient [=SkyClan=], under Spiderstar.
173----
174* CommanderContrarian: Disagrees with Spiderstar's decision to disband [=SkyClan=].
175* NumberTwo: To Spiderstar.
176* SoreLoser: After the Clan is disbanded, she leaves to live up the gorge where there may be better hunting, without saying goodbye to anyone.
177
178!!Leafstar (Leafdapple)
179->"The Clan is a family, Harry. A community."
180
181[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1878aed4af344fd7a50dbfbf060988e4.jpg]]
182[[caption-width-right:278:"Carry on fighting to the death and you'll only lose what you love most."]]
183[[caption-width-right:278:[[labelnote:Click here]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leafstar_8805.bmp[[/labelnote]] to see her appearance on the cover of ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny''.]]
184
185A character in the [[ExpandedUniverse Super Edition]] ''Firestar's Quest'', Leafdapple was the cat that [=StarClan=] chose as the leader of the newly re-formed [=SkyClan=]. She introduced the idea of "daylight-warriors" to her Clan (kittypets who help the Clan during the day and stay with their Twolegs at night), and while this was an idea that originally caused some conflict between the daylight-warriors and regular Clan cats, the daylight-warriors eventually were accepted into the Clan. Leafstar also defied tradition by taking a mate and giving birth to kits while still carrying out her leadership duties. She is currently still leader of [=SkyClan=], and [[spoiler:has three kits with Billystorm, a daylight-warrior]].
186----
187* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the original star of the modern [=SkyClan=] saga being the main character of ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'' and the ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger'' manga trilogy.
188* ActionGirl: She's a good fighter and hunter.
189* ActionMom: In the ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger'' [[OELManga manga]] series, [[spoiler:even though she has kits, she still fights with just as much strength.]]
190* BackFromTheDead: As with all leaders, she literally has nine lives. So far, we have only seen her [[spoiler:lose two lives; during her fight with Misha in ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'' she dies, but surprises her opponent great by coming back. The second life we see her lose is to raccoons in ''Hawkwing's Journey''.]]
191* BadassInDistress: In ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger'': ''The Rescue'', [[spoiler:an elderly woman takes Leafstar and her kits into her home. The other members of [=SkyClan=] have to rescue their leader.]]
192* BattleCouple: [[spoiler:With her mate, Billystorm. They fight alongside each other when it comes to battle.]]
193* BerserkButton: Telling her how to run her Clan or how to do her job, as [[spoiler:Ashfur found out poorly in ''The Broken Code''.]] She also gets annoyed when people waste her time or are just outright disrespectful to others.
194* CareerVersusMan: Clan tradition is that female leaders and deputies cannot have kits since it might get too in the way of their responsibilities to the Clan. Leafstar spends much of ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'' thinking about how unfair this is after she realizes she has feelings for Billystorm, and by the end of the book she decides that she doesn't care and that it's fine for [=SkyClan=], since the warrior code states "The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code".
195* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:Her banishing Sol in ''After The Flood'' can count as this. One of the reasons she keeps defending that Sol deserves a chance to be a warrior is because a great deal of [=SkyClan=] was made from cats who simply wanted to join or even gave up their kittypet life, such as Billystorm. But when she learns that Sol kidnapped her kit for the selfish intention of making himself look worthy, being the [[MamaBear mother]] she is, doesn't take it lying down. She then lets Sol know being a warrior is about more than wanting to join, it's about being a family.]]
196* CoolOldLady: Leafstar is one of the oldest cats in the series right now, but that doesn't stop her from taking part in most Clan affairs and being one of the most kind-hearted and reasonable leaders the Clans have ever seen.
197* DeathGlare: She's pretty good at giving these. She gives them frequently in the ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger'' trilogy. She's especially furious in ''After the Flood'' when giving them to [[spoiler:Billystorm, who suggested taking their kits back to his home while cleaning up the flood's damage]] and [[spoiler:Sol, who stole her kits so that he could prove himself by "finding" them.]]
198* {{Determinator}}: Billystorm wonders if anyone has ever been able to stop her from accomplishing her goals.
199* DreamingOfThingsToCome: At the beginning of ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'', Leafstar has a nightmare about the gorge flooding. Her dream eventually comes true in ''Beyond the Code''.
200* {{Foil}}: She is everything that Sol's mother Cinders never was. [[spoiler:Cinders was a pessimist who complained about her adverse life and treated Sol and his siblings with impatience.]] Leafstar on the other paw is a proactive leader who thinks of her cats' well-being, as well as a good mother who lovingly nurtures her kits.
201* TheGoodKing: Leafstar is pragmatic, kind, thoughtful, and cautious, but refuses to let herself or her Clan be pushed around.
202* GoodIsNotNice: Overall Leafstar is a very reasonable cat and a kind one at that, but when you push her buttons she ''will' retaliate and does not tolerate insubordination or people pushing her around.
203* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Echosong. The leader and her medicine cat.
204* TheLeader: The first and so far only leader of modern [=SkyClan=].
205* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: In ''Firestar's Quest'', she uses this as a reason as to why they should join the new [=SkyClan=].
206-->"Yes, I'll join," Leaf assured him. "If the Clan really works how you say it will, then cats will have a purpose. We'll be more than just rogues, just living to stay alive."
207* MamaBear: [[spoiler:When she learns that Sol kidnapped her kits in ''After The Flood'', she absolutely loses it and fights him with everything she's got. What really gets under her fur is the very thought that during this whole scheme, Sol left the kits unattended, which could've lead to them getting lost, hurt, or even killed.]]
208* MartialPacifist: She believes in peace and avoiding unnecessary battles, but she still fights to protect her Clan.
209* TheMentor: To Sparrowpelt.
210* MissingChild: In ''After the Flood'' her kits go missing after the flood and she has no idea where they are or if they're safe.
211* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Outlives [[spoiler:two]] of her three kits.
212* PragmaticHero: One of Leafstar's most defining traits is her overal pragmatism, which likely stems from her past as a self-sustaining loner. Luckily for [=SkyClan=], it carries over into her leadership.
213* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Leafstar is arguably this trope embodied.
214* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger: After the Flood'', she gives an epic one to [[spoiler:Sol after he steals her kits so he could ''rescue'' them.]]
215-->[[spoiler:'''Sol:''' "I'm always overlooked! Never made leader of a patrol...always scorned because I used to be a kittypet! I can be a warrior!"]]
216-->'''Leafstar:''' [[spoiler:"No. You can't. You have no understanding of the warrior code at all. What you've done here proves it. You've risked the lives of young kits...by leaving them alone here. Anything could have happened to them. They could have been lost. They could have ''died''. ''My kits could have '''died'''.'' But you didn't just betray me. You betrayed the entire Clan. You did all this...and you never considered how it would make any of us feel. The Clan is a family, Sol. A community. And you're incapable of thinking about anyone but yourself. I banish you from [=SkyClan=]. You've betrayed my trust, betrayed the warrior code...betrayed everything I thought you believed in."]]
217* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Works with her ReasonableAuthorityFigure status. Leafstar works hard to keep her Clan maintained and actively works against injustices.
218* SupportingProtagonist: In ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'', Leafstar is the perspective character, however Stick is the main character and the story centers around his struggles with the [[OffscreenVillainy evil]] Dodge.
219* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:Has a bit of one in ''Hawkwing's Journey''. She loses her home, her mate, two of her kits, and two of her deputies. Also, as the ending comic of that book reveals, she loses her life-long friend and medicine cat, Echosong.]]
220* UnnamedParent: Her mother appears and even gives her one of her nine lives, but surprisingly - especially considering that they name even minor characters that don't appear in-text - she is never named.
221* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:In ''After The Flood'', she isn't happy that her mate Billystorm would tell their kittens they would go to live with his Twolegs, or even suggest they all go live with his Twolegs. She calls him out on this.]]
222
223!!Sharpclaw
224->"Sharpclaw has pushed hard for the post of leader when he hadn’t completely understood the full meaning of the warrior code. He could make Leafstar’s life difficult if he had refused to accept her authority. But his fiery courage and fighting skills would balance well with Leafstar’s more thoughtful personality. And one day, when he had lived enough moons by the warrior code, he would make a good leader."
225
226[[quoteright:279:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/43549d74fb44833a8c268a18032df67d.jpg]]
227[[caption-width-right:279:[[labelnote:Click here]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharpclaw_721.bmp[[/labelnote]] to see his appearance in ''Cats of the Clans'']]
228
229A founding member of modern [=SkyClan=]. He was once a rogue named Scratch.
230----
231* BigDamnHeroes: His first appearance has him appear out of nowhere to help Firestar protect Clovertail and her kits from a fox.
232* TheBigGuy: He's a very talented fighter, and described as 'massive'.
233* CharacterDevelopment: In ''[=SkyClan's=] Destiny'', he's shown to be hostile and scornful towards the daylight warriors. But after that book and in the ''[=SkyClan=] And The Stranger'' series, he's now accepting towards them, even praising Ebonyclaw for using a clever trick on a border patrol.
234* CommanderContrarian: Opposed Leafstar mostly throughout ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny''. At the end, it's revealed that he challenges her because [[spoiler:he's testing her to see if she's doing the right thing]]. That, and he just [[spoiler:wanted what was best for the Clan.]]
235* HotBlooded: He's pretty much always willing to fight, and he's so naturally charismatic and strong-willed that Firestar seriously considered the notion that [=StarClan=] would choose him as [=SkyClan's=] leader. [[InTheBlood Hawkwing has apparently inherited this trait from him]].
236* LeaderWannabe: Hints to Firestar in ''Firestar's Quest'' that he thinks he should lead the Clan. By the end of the book he's learned about the warrior code and is content being deputy.
237* TheMentor: To Cherrytail and Egg.
238* NumberTwo: Becomes a loyal deputy to Leafstar, and (eventually) seems not begrudge her at all for being chosen as leader.
239* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:His son Duskpaw dies from smoke inhalation.]]
240* TeacherStudentRomance: Has kits with [[spoiler:his former apprentice, Cherrytail.]]
241

246
247A warrior of modern [=SkyClan=] who joined after being rescued by the young Clan. He's the father of Plumwillow, Nettlesplash, Rabbitleap, and Creekfeather. In ''Hawkwing's Journey'' he [[spoiler:takes over as deputy when Sharpclaw dies.]]
248----
249* TheMentor: To Mintfur and Duskpaw.
250* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:In ''Hawkwing's Journey'', he gets kidnapped by twolegs. It's mentioned that they don't look like twolegs that intend to do anything good with the cats they take. The entire Clan treats him as if he is dead.]]
251* NumberTwo: He becomes Leafstar's deputy after [[spoiler:Sharpclaw is killed.]]
252* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Possibly. Creekfeather vanished completely from the storyline after [=SkyClan=]'s Destiny, so we don't know if he's dead or not.
253* TookALevelInBadass: When he first met [=SkyClan=], Waspwhisker was a scared, lost kittypet. Ultimately he becomes a tough, skilled warrior and [[spoiler:Clan deputy.]]
254

258
259One of four kits of Cherrytail and Sharpclaw, Hawkwing is the protagonist of the Super Edition ''Hawkwing's Journey''.
260----
261* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the star of the Super Edition ''Hawkwing's Journey''.
262* AngstySurvivingTwin: Well, Angsty Surviving Quadruplet, after [[spoiler:Duskpaw]] dies.
263* TheApprentice: To Ebonyclaw.
264* AscendedExtra: He appeared in ''Ravenpaw's Farewell'' as a minor [=SkyClan=] apprentice. However, he may have been given a speaking role in that book specifically because he was destined to be the hero of a Super Edition, which would make him a RedHerringShirt.
265* DisappearedDad: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. [[spoiler:He's the father of [[Characters/WarriorCatsShadowClan Violetpaw]] and [[Characters/WarriorCatsThunderclanWarriorsAndApprentices Twigpaw]].]]
266* HappilyMarried: Pretty quickly gets together with [[spoiler:Pebbleshine]] once they become close friends.
267* HotBlooded: He has quite a temperament that got him into quite a bit of trouble more than once. He seems to have inherited this from his father and [[spoiler:his daughter, Twigpaw, is the same way.]]
268* KissingCousins:With Pebbleshine. The specifics are:[[spoiler:Cherrytail and Sparrowpelt are siblings, and Pebbleshine is Sparrowpelt's kit, while Hawkwing is Cherrytail's.]] As usual in ''Warriors'', this is never acknowledged InUniverse.
269* LetsYouAndHimFight: Hawkwing goads Dodge into fighting him, one on one, to let him release his apprentice. After an intense fight, Hawkwing ends up killing Dodge and gets his Clan safety in passing through the Twolegplace.

274* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: In ''[[Recap/WarriorCatsHawkwingsJourney Hawkwing's Journey]]'', Hawkwing and his father grew distant after [[spoiler:his brother Duskpaw's death, and part of why his father's death hurt so much was because Hawkwing would never get to speak to him again and make things right.]]
275* NumberTwo: To Leafstar as of the end of ''Hawkwing's Journey''.
276* ParentalSubstitute: He acts as Plumwillow's kits' father [[spoiler:until their actual father, Sandynose, returns]].
277* SecondLove: He thought he might be this to Plumwillow and Plumwillow to him, but then [[spoiler:her actual mate, Sandynose, returns]].
278* SurvivorGuilt: Constantly, particularly as a result of [[spoiler:Duskpaw's]] death.
279* ThrowTheDogABone: After ''lots'' of loss, [[spoiler:he finally gets reunited with his kits in ''Shattered Sky'', and his sister and mother rejoin [=SkyClan=] in ''Darkest Night''.]]
280* TraumaCongaLine: As with many, many ''Warriors'' protagonists. Specifically, in ''Hawkwing's Journey'', Hawkwing [[spoiler:loses his brother to a fire and blames himself for it because he saved Pebblepaw from the fire instead of saving his brother; fights with his father who then dies before they can make up; many of his other Clanmates die, are stolen, or choose to leave [=SkyClan=]; is betrayed by a close friend whom he considered almost a brother and is driven from his home by him; loses his pregnant mate when she's stolen by twolegs; journeys moons on end only to say goodbye to his mother, one of his sisters, and his apprentice; becomes friend with Waspwhisker, Duskpaw's former mentor, who then disappears; almost loses his other sister and foster son; and becomes close to Plumwillow and especially her kits, so much so that the kits think he's their father, only for their REAL father to show back up and the kits eventually becoming close to him instead of Hawkwing.]]
281* UnexpectedSuccessor: To [[spoiler:Waspwhisker]], as Hawkwing is still a young(ish) warrior at the time and also [[spoiler:never finished mentoring his apprentice.]]

295* SpiritAdvisor: Even though she's dead, she manages to mentor Echosong in dreams until she becomes a true medicine cat.
296
297!!Brackenheart
298->"One day, cats will return here and find a way to succeed where we have failed. This is the leaf-bare of our Clan. Greenleaf will come, but it will bring even greater storms than these. [=SkyClan=] will need deeper roots if it is to survive."
299
300The last medicine cat of [=SkyClan=]. Although he witnessed its end, he always believed that [=SkyClan=] would return.
301----
302* ArcWords: Triggers them for ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'' by saying, "[=SkyClan=] will need deeper roots if it is to survive."

304* TheMedic: He's a medicine cat, and he's also seen patching up Spiderstar's wounds.

312
313Echosong was once a kittypet named Echo. She was led by mysterious dreams to meet Firestar, and eventually became the first medicine cat of modern day [=SkyClan=]. She's Leafstar's closest friend and confidante.
314----
315* ActionGirl: Not always, but she ''is'' seen jumping through the trees in ''After The Flood''.
316* TheApprentice: To Fawnstep, though is only mentored in dreams due to Fawnstep being dead.
317* CelibateHero: Being a medicine cat means that she can never take a mate.
318* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Although [=StarClan=] picked the smartest cat they could for the role of [=SkyClan=]'s medicine cat, as a consequence of needing someone who would run off to join [=SkyClan=] because of a dream, they had to pick someone who was like this as well. Echosong ''is'' quite smart, but she has her moments, like believing that eating roots would mend the divide in [=SkyClan=].
319* DreamingOfThingsToCome: In addition to visions coming naturally with the job, she met and joined Firestar because [=StarClan=] sent her a dream saying that she should go and meet him.

329
330!!Frecklewish

343* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There's a [=ThunderClan=] warrior with the same name.
344* TheUnchosenOne: In a medicine cat sense, rather than a protagonist one. At first Leafstar says Frecklewish won't be allowed to train as a medicine cat until there's a sign indicating she should. Eventually, though, Leafstar allows it, and Frecklewish proves her mettle on her own.
345* WrongLineOfWork: Preferred being a medicine cat over being a warrior. Eventually Leafstar allows her to switch mentors.
346
347!!Fidgetflake
348->"It doesn't matter which Clan a warrior comes from. Or if they come from [=StarClan=] at all. If a dead cat has a message to pass on, we must listen to it and do our best to honor their wishes."
349
350[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fidgetflakeasc_2.jpg]]

375->"No! This battle will be fought now, before the memory of my father fades in our hearts. His death must be avenged!"
376
377The son of Beechstar, appointed as leader to succeed his dying father. However, his incompetence at leading the Clan led to the code about deputies replacing their leader being established.
378----
379* BroughtDownToNormal: After several warriors agree that the deputy, Maplewhisker, should be the new leader, they believe the Clan will still respect Mothpelt as a warrior, and he is demoted.
380* TheLeader: Of [=SkyClan=], for less than a day, before he was replaced by his father's deputy.

385

388
389A warrior of [=SkyClan=] at the time the code about the deputy becoming the leader after the death or retirement of the prior one was established.
390----
391* ADayInTheLimelight: Is the protagonist of "Follow My Leader", a short story in ''Code of the Clans'' which shows how the rule about deputies replacing leaders when they can no longer perform their duties became part of the warrior code.
392* HonorBeforeReason: Subverted, he refuses to follow his leader into the river, and tries to stop him, because he knows they cannot cross in the middle of a flood.
393* TheMentor: To Rubblepaw.
394* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There have been three other cats named Robinwing, a [=RiverClan=] warrior in the later series', a [=WindClan=] warrior mentioned in the allegiances of ''Dawn'', and a [=ThunderClan=] warrior in the prequels, who is the mother of Frostfur, Brindleface, Dustpelt and Ravenpaw with Fuzzypelt, and the mother of Longtail with Patchpelt, as well as Whitestorm's foster mother.
395
396!!Cherrytail
397[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cherrytail_ss_5.png]]

410
411!!Sparrowpelt
412[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sparrowpelt_ss.png]]
413->"The code gives us strength, and the certainty that [=StarClan=] watches over us."
414
415One of the founding members of modern [=SkyClan=]. He was formerly a kittypet named Boris, but he joined the young Clan after Firestar showed him the ways of a warrior.

416----
417* TheApprentice: To Leafstar.
418* FantasticRacism: He seemed to have taken a disdainful dislike towards those who weren't permanent gorge-bound warriors. But after ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'', [[CharacterDevelopment he got over it]].

420* OffScreenRomance: With Tinycloud. They have apprentice-age kits together by ''Ravenpaw's Farewell''.
421* OneSteveLimit: Averted. His name is the same as the [=ThunderClan=] tom who later became Halftail.

435* IWasNamedMyName: Most of the [=SkyClan=] cats are given new names by Firestar to sound more like Clan cats, however, Rainfur's name already sounds like a Clan name, so he isn't renamed, instead, his name is "confirmed".
436* IRegretNothing: When he appears in [=StarClan=] at Leafstar's leader ceremony, he doesn't blame Firestar for his death, even though if he hadn't joined [=SkyClan=] he'd still be alive, instead saying it was worth it and he knows his mate and kits will be taken care of.
437* MeaningfulName: His fur is light gray and speckled, as though covered in raindrops.

449* CharacterDevelopment: Fallowfern, Patchfoot, and Petalnose initially wanted to leave [=SkyClan=] in ''After the Flood'', because they feared what would come about if they experienced another flood or some other unforeseen problems. But later, during the battle against the rogues, they all join in the fight as TheCavalry. At the conclusion of the battle, one of the even [[ShutUpHannibal tells off a rogue]] that they are stronger as a Clan.

453** A possibly unintentional example done by Leafstar rather than her, but she and her mate are Petal''nose'' and Rain''fur'', while their kits, as warriors, have the names Sage''nose'' and Mint''fur''.
454* HerHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler:While her mate Rainfur gets killed off during the rat battle, Petalnose lives on and raises their two kits.]]

772* DefectingForLove: [[spoiler:After the changes to the warrior code are made, she decides to move to [=ShadowClan=] to be with her mate, Spireclaw.]]
773* ShrinkingViolet: She's mentioned to be very shy as a kit.
774
775!!Violetshine
776->"Why did Clan cats have to call everyone names? Anger surged through her. Did no cat want her? She'd spent her life being passed around by other cats. First Alderpaw had taken her from her mother's nest. Then Rowanstar had snatched her from [=ThunderClan=]. Then Needletail had taken her to the rogues. This was the first time she’d had any choice in the matter, and she was choosing to join [=ShadowClan=]."
777[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vos_2.jpg]]
778
779One of the kits found by Alderheart and Needletail in ''The Apprentice's Quest'', believed to be part of a prophecy. She was separated from her sister Twigpaw and brought to [=ShadowClan=]. She later leaves and joins [=SkyClan=] when they settle around the lake.
780----
781* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: [=ShadowClan=] treated her like this in her kithood, as they were very wary and uncertain about whether she was special or could be trusted. They warmed up after she came back from the rogues, but not enough for her to stay when choosing between them and [[spoiler:her family in]] [=SkyClan=].
782* AntiVillain: Technically, being a member of the Kin, she's an enemy of the Clans. But she only stays because she wants to feel accepted, is one of the nicest cats there, and helps the other Clans drive Darktail out the moment they ask because she doesn't agree with the way things are run. She's a villain by nothing more than ''association''.
783* TheApprentice: First to Dawnpelt, then to Rabbitleap.
784* BabiesEverAfter: At the end of ''A Vision of Shadows'', she discovers she's pregnant [[spoiler:during a DeadPersonConversation with her mom]]. By the next arc, she's delivered her son and her daughter and is shown to be a loving, if somewhat anxious, mother.
785* BelligerentSexualTension: Has shades of this with Tree. She's thrown off-guard by his flirting and tells at him to be serious, but she also stands up for him and shows complete faith in [[spoiler:his [[ISeeDeadPeople abilities]]]].
786* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: A variation of ginger/black/gray:
787** Ginger Alderheart, black-and-white Violetshine, and gray Twigbranch.
788* BreakTheCutie: She started out as a sweet, quiet, and trusting kitten. She was found in a sewer as a newborn and was forcibly separated from her sister to live in a dysfunctional Clan. Her foster mother was caring and tried her best to look out for her, but clearly didn't love her. Her only friend manipulated her and dismissed her for a long time, and she was marginalized by [=ShadowClan=] during the conflict with the rogues. [[spoiler:She is then forced to attack her sister, who she believed was dead for a large portion of ''Shattered Sky''. Her mentor goes missing, and Needletail is imprisoned and starved by Darktail. Then Violetshine [[ForcedToWatch watches her be nearly drowned]] as a result of her own treasonous actions against the Kin, and then witnesses Needletail slaughtered at the claws of Darktail and his followers.]] Someone cut the poor thing a break.
789* BrokenBird: [[TheWoobie She was this before she was even a year old]], thanks to her ''very'' hectic kithood. She has abandonment issues from being passed around all the time, seems to believe she's unworthy of love, and is desperately lonely and afraid of not being accepted.
790* EarnYourHappyEnding: Does she ever! After her emotionally traumatizing kithood and apprenticeship, life becomes much better for her as a warrior: she moves to a new Clan that loves and accepts her without any of the baggage, [[spoiler:she reunites with her father]], she falls in love, and she becomes a mother.
791* {{Expy}}: She shares many parallels with Ivypool.
792* FamilyEyeResemblance: [[spoiler:It's been noted that she has the same yellow eyes as her father, Hawkwing.]]
793* ForcedToWatch: DoubleSubverted. [[spoiler:Darktail initially forces her to watch as Needletail is slowly drowned in the lake, as punishment for attempting to slip poppyseeds into his prey. He relents, and allows Needletail to live, if she was willing to kill Violetshine herself. Needletail attempts to protect Violetshine, before going out in a HeroicSacrifice against Darktail and his rogues, while Violetshine watches in horror.]]
794* FosterKid: After being taken to [=ShadowClan=] as a kit, she ended up being fostered by Pinenose.
795* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:It was stated in ''Darkest Night'' that she's just like her father, Hawkwing.]]
796* IJustWantToHaveFriends: All the poor thing wants is to be accepted and loved.
797* TheInfiltration: Attempts this in ''Shattered Sky''. [[spoiler:It works out well, for the most part, until she gets caught attempting to drug Darktail.]]
798* MeaningfulName:
799** She was given the name Violetkit because she smelled like violets when Alderpaw and Needlepaw found her.
800** She's given the warrior name "Violetshine" after [[spoiler:her mother Pebbleshine.]]
801* MirrorCharacter: To Darktail. [[spoiler:Both have been abandoned by a parental figure (his father, her mother) and felt unwanted by those around her. The difference is, Darktail's mother raised him to hate the Clans that abandoned him, while Violetshine was raised by them and desired their affection.]]
802* NiceGirl: She never approved of Darktail's way of running things, and only stayed on because [=ShadowClan=] was her home. But she is one of the kindest cats in the Kin, sneaking food to the prisoners, befriending [[spoiler:the kittypets]], and helping the Clans overthrow Darktail the minute she can.
803* OfficialCouple: With Tree.
804* OnlyFriend: Needletail, initially, though she later befriends Puddleshine and [[spoiler:Zelda.]]
805* ParentalAbandonment: She and her sister were found as kits under a Thunderpath, with no parents in sight. It's later implied in [[spoiler:''Hawkwing's Journey'' that Hawkwing and Pebbleshine are her parents]]. {{Subverted}} when [[spoiler: she is reunited with Hawkwing. Pebbleshine, however, is dead.]]
806* ThePerfectionist: Her narration mentions that she works harder than any cat in the clan to prove herself to them.
807* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:She resembles her mother Pebbleshine in her shoulders and long, thick tail.]]
808* SurvivorsGuilt: [[spoiler:She feels horrible about running and leaving Needletail to die like she told her to.]]
809* ThrowTheDogABone:
810** After getting caught up with the rogues, she returns to [=ShadowClan=] of her own will. They're impressed by her courage and loyalty, and slowly start to accept her. She even makes a friend with Puddleshine.
811** Though initially wary of them, she finally finds the acceptance, friendship and love, without any of the emotional scarring [=ShadowClan=] gave, that she was looking for in [=SkyClan=].

818[[quoteright:115:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dewpaw.png]]
819
820Plumwillow and Sandynose's son and the brother of Finpaw and Reedpaw. He's also Hawkwing's foster son since Hawkwing helped to raise him and his littermates when they were young.
821----
822* TheApprentice: To Macgyver.
823* HappilyAdopted: He was quite happy with Hawkwing, believing him to be his actual father. [[spoiler:When his real father returned, he and his littermates just saw him as a stranger because of their bond with Hawkwing. Hawkwing had to convince them to give Sandynose a chance.]]
824* KissingCousins: With Nectarsong. Dewspring's mother Plumwillow and Nectarsong's father Nettlesplash are littermates.
825* TheMentor: To Rootspring.
826

828->"Wasn't it amazing when the whole Clan called out our names?"

832----
833* TheApprentice: to Bellaleaf.
834* HappilyAdopted: She was quite happy with Hawkwing, believing him to be her actual father. [[spoiler:When her real father returned, she and her littermates just saw him as a stranger because of their bond with Hawkwing. Hawkwing had to convince them to give Sandynose a chance.]]

841
842Tinycloud and Sparrowpelt's son from their second litter.
843----
844* TheApprentice: To Sandynose.
845* StrongFamilyResemblance: He has white fur like his mother Tinycloud.
846
847!!Kitescratch and Turtlecrawl
848
849Reedclaw's kits.
850----
851* TheApprentice: Sagenose was Kitescratch's mentor, while Blossomheart was Turtlecrawl's mentor.
852* TheBully: In ''Lost Stars'' they bullied Rootspring because of how much their mocking gets to him.
853* EarNotch: Kitescratch gained a torn ear from [[spoiler:the failed AssassinationAttempt on the impostor.]]
854
855!!Rootspring
856->"I thought I was the only one who felt like an outsider, not quite fitting into my Clan. Now here's Shadowpaw, and he's struggling too. It feels...sort of good, knowing there's another cat with the same problems."
857[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rootpaw_oa.png]]
858
859Violetshine and Tree's son. Rootpaw wants nothing more than to serve his Clan as a warrior, unlike his father, Tree, who still doesn't quite fit in to Clan life.
860----
861* AfraidOfBlood: In ''Veil of Shadows'', [[spoiler:it's demonstrated that he is not the right fit for the medicine cat role when he panics at seeing a bloodied Clanmate... who [[NotHisBlood just got back from hunting]] and has a thorn in his paw.]]
862* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Most of his irritation towards Tree is due to how he's affected by his father's embarrassing behavior.
863* TheApprentice: To Dewspring.
864* BeYourself: Part of his CharacterDevelopment is about learning to accept his [[ISeeDeadPeople powers]] and that he doesn't have to be like everyone else. By ''Darkness Within'', he's proud to be recognized as "the cat who sees ghosts".
865* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: A variation. We have yellow Rootspring, dark gray Shadowsight, and pale gray Bristlefrost.
866* CharacterDevelopment: He starts off overly sensitive to what others think of him, wanting to be like everyone else, and afraid to get involved with the events of the arc. By ''Darkness Within'', he's openly embraced his powers and is even eager to learn more about them. He's also become bolder and [[DefiantStoneThrow willing to]] [[WhatYouAreInTheDark risk punishment]] to do the right thing.
867* {{Claustrophobia}}: Has a panic attack while squeezing through some bushes in ''Silent Thaw''; he envisions himself getting stuck and no one being able to help him escape, as he's sneaking on [=ThunderClan=] territory at the time.
868* DeadGuyJunior: Possibly named after his paternal grandfather, Root.
869* DefiantStoneThrow: Does a verbal version twice, during two different Gatherings. The first time is completely by accident (he was trying to tell Bramblestar's ghost to shut up, not the impostor) but gets him noticed by LaResistance; the second, however, is [[CharacterDevelopment completely intentional]], when he decides that ''someone'' has to speak out against the impostor and all the other rebels are too scared to.
870* DistressedDude: He meets Bristlepaw by falling into a lake, almost drowning, and being rescued by her, which facilitates his crush on her. [[spoiler:He's also indirectly kidnapped by Ashfur during ''The Place of No Stars'', and rescuing him forms the second half of that book and the first few chapters of ''A Light in the Mist''.]]
871* EveryoneCanSeeIt: His feelings for Bristlefrost are so obvious that they actually ''use them as cover'' for why he's sneaking onto [=ThunderClan=] territory (it was to tell her about Bramblestar's ghost) or why they're staring at each other in Gatherings (rebel concerns about the shifting political landscape).
872* GentleGiant: ''Darkness Within'' mentions he and his father are much bigger than the other Clan cats [[spoiler:due to their Sister blood]], and Rootspring is very kind and even-tempered.
873* HeIsAllGrownUp: In ''Darkness Within'', Bristlefrost notes that his head and shoulders are now much more broad and he is no longer the gangly apprentice she'd rescued from the lake, or the awkward young 'paw who'd once crossed the [=ThunderClan=] border to bring her prey.
874* IAmNotMyFather: A downplayed version. He loves his dad, but he's embarassed by his behavior and sees first-hand how other Clan cats consider Tree weird; at best they're puzzled by him, at worst they scorn him, and Rootspring doesn't want to be treated the same way.
875* IJustWantToBeNormal: He initially wants nothing to do with his ghost-seeing abilities. Granted, the first ghost he saw frightened him by [[StalkerWithoutACrush stalking him and begging for help]], so it's understandable.
876* ISeeDeadPeople: He has inherited his father's ability to see and talk to ghosts.
877* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Though a romantic rival is actually not involved. [[spoiler:When Bristlefrost asks him why he's so determined to save [=ThunderClan=] in ''Darkness Within'', he says it's because he cares about her and she cares about them. She points out that if her Clan survives, she won't leave it, even to be with him. His response is a simple "I know."]]
878* LikeParentLikeChild: He shares quite a few personality traits with his mother, namely anxiety, wanting acceptance from the cats around them, and a kind heart.
879* NiceGuy: He's warm, compassionate, and sweet to every cat regardless of Clan; he offers to walk Shadowpaw (a stranger to him at the time) partially to the Moonpool in ''Lost Stars'' and lend him an ear just because he can tell he needs it, and he doesn't even hold a grudge against his bullies for more than a chapter or two!
880* NotHisBlood: [[spoiler:When they bring Shadowsight back to camp in ''Veil of Shadows'', Violetshine is worried that something happened to her son, because he's covered in blood, but it's Shadowsight's, not his.]]
881* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:In ''The Place of No Stars'', while in the Dark Forest, he falls into a strange type of water that saps his strength. He's literally able to escape by focusing on his love for Bristlefrost.]]
882* RescueRomance: A rare flipped example. He starts crushing hard on Bristlepaw after she saves his life.
883* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: A bit of a RunningGag in ''The Broken Code'' is cats [[EveryoneCanSeeIt recognizing his feelings for Bristlefrost]] and him downplaying it as a one-sided crush. [[spoiler:In the latter half of the arc, when she ''does'' return his feelings, the gag becomes cats [[EveryoneCanSeeIt assuming they're mates]] and ''both'' clarifying that [[StarCrossedLovers they love each other but aren't]].]]
884* SociallyAwkwardHero: For the first few books, his anxiety prevents him from interacting well with others or makes him accidentally commit social ''faux pas'', like when he embarasses Bristlefrost by bringing her prey in the middle of the [=ThunderClan=] camp. He grows out of it.
885* SpannerInTheWorks: Out of all the protagonists of ''The Broken Code'', Rootspring is perhaps the biggest thorn in the impostor's side. The fact that Rootspring can see ghosts, specifically Bramblestar's, is ''the'' reason the impostor's deception is uncovered--the rebellion would have started anyway, but no one had guessed [[DemonicPossession what was going on]] until Rootpaw told them. [[spoiler:Shadowsight would also have died of his wounds in ''Veil of Shadows'' if Rootspring hadn't been guided to him by Spiresight, so that's another of the impostor's plots foiled.]]
886* StarCrossedLovers:
887** [[spoiler:With Bristlefrost as she is from a different Clan, and the two of them are technically forbidden to be in a relationship. They both love their Clans too much to consider joining each other's.]]
888** [[spoiler:The relationship becomes even more tragic and star-crossed thanks to Bristlefrost's HeroicSacrifice in ''A Light in the Mist'', which renders her DeaderThanDead and robs them of even [[TogetherInDeath an afterlife]].]]
889* StrongFamilyResemblance: He has a yellow pelt like his father, Tree. As a kit, he was said to look like a tiny version of his father.
890* TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler:In ''A Light in the Mist'', he gives Firestar permission to take over his body temporarily, and Firestar ends up fighting and killing TheDragon Darkstripe. When Rootspring is given control again, he doesn't remember the fight, but he shivers uneasily at the taste of blood in his mouth and the realization that his claws have killed a cat. He gets over it pretty quickly, though: shortly afterward, he thinks about how his paws defeated one of the strongest Dark Forest warriors and is eager to see more of what they're capable of.]]
891* UnhappyMedium: As he inherited his father Tree's abilities, he starts out as this since he's regarded as the resident weirdo at the beginning of ''The Broken Code'' arc.
892* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:The morning of his warrior assessment, he's woken up by Spiresight, who tells him that Shadowsight needs his help. No one else can see Spiresight and leaving now means missing his assessment. Rootpaw doesn't even hesitate before following him.]]
893* YoungAndInCharge: In ''Sky'', he is the second-youngest cat on the catmint patrol after Nightheart, but the others tend to listen to him; [[spoiler:it's mentioned that his experience in the Dark Forest has given him an authority the others didn't have.]]

918->"Listen to me? A crazy old rogue who sits looking at the moon? No, you must speak to them. More than anything they need a leader to follow, and you can walk that path more easily than I."
919
920An elderly tom who lived in the gorge. Most local cats initially believed him to be strange and made fun of him, but it turned out that he had simply been following the ways of the old [=SkyClan=]. He joined the new Clan but died shortly afterward; he gave the ''Power of Three'' prophecy to Firestar the day of his death.
921----
922* {{Expy}}: His temperament is very much like that of Yellowfang. Firestar and Sandstorm both pick up on this and comment on it.
923* InSeriesNickname: Called "Moony" by the other cats around the gorge.
924* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's bitter and distrustful due to how the other cats treat him, but he's a nice guy deep down inside.
925* LastOfHisKind: Before [=SkyClan=]'s rebuilding, he was the only cat descended from the old Clan that still tried to live a life following the warrior code - in fact, he was the only cat in the area that even knew about the Clan.
926* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: For the longest time, the other cats near the gorge only called him "Moony".
927* WhatTheHellHero: Calls Firestar out for trying to leave the gorge without making amends by rebuilding [=SkyClan=].
928
929!!Clovertail
930[[quoteright:84:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clovertail_1862.JPG]]
931->"Leafstar was impressed with Clovertail's soothing words. She remembered what the she-cat had been like when she first joined [=SkyClan=]—lazy, spoiled, and selfish, and interested in Clan life only for the protection it offered herself and her kits. But since then she had become like a mother to all the cats, always ready with comfort and advice. She would never be a great hunter or fighter, but she kept the nursery clean and well-ordered."
932
933Clovertail, along with her three kits, is one of the first cats to join modern [=SkyClan=]. Although eager to join the Clan for protection, she is reluctant to learn to hunt and fight in order to protect the rest of her Clan, though she does come around eventually. She later has three more kits with Patchfoot. Like Daisy and Ferncloud, she stays in the nursery as a permanent queen.
934----
935* ActionGirl: Somewhat of an aversion, at least in this series; although she eventually learns hunting and fighting, she prefers to stay in the nursery and help queens raise their kits.
936* DamselInDistress: When Firestar and Sandstorm first meet her and her kits, they're being attacked by a fox.
937* LazyBum: Right after she joins the Clan. She only joined so that her kits would be protected, because she didn't think she could keep them safe by herself. She changes her mind after she saves Bouncekit from drowning.
938* TheLoad: She wanted to join the Clan for protection but had no interest in giving back to the Clan by hunting and fighting. She eventually got over it after saving her son from drowning and started to learn how to fight and hunt, though it's stated that she'll never be great at it.
939* MamaBear: Comes to believe in her own worth after she fearlessly saves her son from drowning. In ''[=SkyClan's=] Destiny'' Leafstar observes that Clovertail has become like a mother to all the Clan.
940* NeverFoundTheBody: In ''Hawkwing's Journey'', she gets kidnapped by twolegs. It's mentioned that they [[spoiler:don't look like twolegs that intend to do anything good with the cats they take. And with her now being an elder and all, the twolegs could have likely put her down.]]
941* OneSteveLimit: Averted, her original name, Clover, is the name of a [=ThunderClan=] cat in ''Dawn of the Clans''.
942* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:She outlives her kits Bouncefire and Honeytail. As of now, it's unknown what happened to Rockshade.]]
943* StrugglingSingleMother: She starts as this, explaining that her mate left her before her kits were born and that it's hard raising them on her own; it's why she's so eager to join the new Clan after Firestar and Scratch save her and her kits from a fox.
944
945!!Lichenfur
946->"Ridiculous. Bouncing about all over the place. We're cats, not rabbits. What does he plan to do, land on prey and squash it to death?"
947
948An elder who joins [=SkyClan=] prior to ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny''. She dies in a flood in the ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger'' series.
949----
950* [[GrumpyOldMan Grumpy Old Lady]]: Like her denmate Tangle, she comes across as this.
951* HeterosexualLifePartners: Seemingly has this relationship with Tangle.
952* NeverMessWithGranny: She is old, but still capable, defending Leafstar's kits in the fox attack in ''Beyond the Code'' when Sol freezes and is unable to help.

960* GrumpyOldMan: He is portrayed like this.
961* HeroicBSOD: He suffers this after Lichenfur's death.
962* HeterosexualLifePartners: Seemingly has this relationship with Lichenfur.
963* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Most likely happened to him, since he's elderly, and is gone by the time of ''Hawkwing's Journey''.]]
964
965!!Egg
966->"Er...Leafstar, Eggpaw's an okay name, but if you don't mind I'd like to stay as Egg. Stick said that's what he and his friends did."
967
968A loner who joins [=SkyClan=] in ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny''.
969----
970* TheApprentice: To Sharpclaw.
971* CulturalRebel: Joins [=SkyClan=], but keeps his original name, as shown by his quote.
972* EarAche: One of his ears is shredded in the battle with Dodge's cats.
973* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite enjoying being a member of [=SkyClan=], he's never seen or mentioned again after ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'', leaving his fate unknown. WordOfGod says he may have become a warrior, but had a loner's perspective on Clan matters, but it's unclear.
974
975!!Honeytail
976->"I'll see to the kits, Leafstar. Don't worry. We'll play a game or something."

978
979Clovertail and Patchfoot's daughter
980----
981* FriendToAllChildren: She loved to play with Leafstar's kits when they were in the nursery. Hawkwing stated that she always loved caring for kits, and lived in the nursery to help with them and the nursing queens.
982* KilledOffScreen: [[spoiler:She gets killed by Racoons in ''Hawkwing's Journey''.]]
983* NiceGirl: When Billystorm was accused of stealing Leafstar's kits in ''After the Flood'' she was the only cat who believed him to be innocent and went to warn Leafstar of what the Clan was doing.
984
985!!Snookthorn/Snooky
986->"I thought I could do it, but I can't. Living as a Clan cat is making me something I don't want to be- fierce and wild and unwelcome among Twolegs. I'm honored that you think I'm good enough to be a warrior, but it's not something that I want. Not anymore."
987
988A daylight-warrior in ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'', Snookpaw trained with [=SkyClan=], but after receiving his warrior name, ultimately decided that kittypet life was the best lifestyle for him.
989----
990* TheApprentice: To Billystorm.
991* ButNowIMustGo: Decides to leave [=SkyClan=] because he didn't want to become an enemy to twolegs.
