* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In ''A Light in the Mist'', [[spoiler:when Ashfur is defeated, Shadowsight is surprised and sickened to feel what he mistakes as grief. Leafpool gently corrects him that it's loss. This mirrors the real-life confusion and tumultous emotions abuse victims (Shadowsight) can go through after their abuser (Ashfur) is cut from their life.]]

* TrainingFromHell: Brokenstar's method of apprenticing kits as young as three moons and forcing them to endure training sessions that involved being viciously attacked stands out as one of the most atrocious actions enforced by a Clan leader. Needless to say, this costed countless lives of kits too young to be training rather than strengthening ShadowClan's stance as the delusional Brokenstar had hoped.

* HonorBeforeReason: A form of AlternateCharacterInterpretation, as he is shown to have moments of decency but still support his leader's actions. At the time, the warrior code says that the leader's word is law.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In ''Yellowfang's Secret''...a slight subversion, though. He's actually not a jerk to his Clanmates, and he loves his brother Nightstar. This is brought up again with his mate Rowanberry and his son in Tigerclaw's Fury.

* AttackAttackAttack: During Brokenstar's reign, he sought to make the Clan stronger and more feared by focusing all of their energy on taking territory from the other Clans. Kits were forced to become apprentices as early as three moons, and warriors ate crowfood instead of fresh-kill to avoid hunting and save their energy for fighting. While they managed to drive [=WindClan=] out of their territory and coerce [=RiverClan=] into sharing some of theirs, it was not a sustainable strategy in the long run, as several of the kit-warriors died--some during Brokenstar's TrainingFromHell, others while fighting against fully trained [=WindClan=] warriors.
