->"I wasn't doing anything wrong. Anyway, it's so hard to tell where our territory turns into ThunderClan. It's not like there's a river in the way!"

* LovableCoward: He's young, and not a bad cat, but gets worried about being punished. He hides behind his mother when [=ThunderClan=] comes to discuss his accidental crossing of the border.

->[[spoiler:"Your future lies ahead of you, where the Clans are. I'm not sure where my future lies, and I need time to work it out.]] Oh, my dear kits, you are all so brave and loyal. [[spoiler:I shall miss you dreadfully, but I can't follow you into a future I know is not the right one for me."]]

One of the first cats to join modern [=SkyClan=]. She was formerly a kittypet named Cherry, but after Firestar showed her and her brother the ways of a warrior, she eagerly accepted his offer to join the new Clan. She was mentored by Sharpclaw, but became a warrior at the end of ''Firestar's Quest''. She is descended from Ancient [=SkyClan=], as shown by her powerful haunches and thick pads.

After 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Seemingly has this relationship with Tangle.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Seemingly has this relationship with Lichenfur.

* APetIntoTheWild: The app states he, his sister, and their mother were kittypets whose Twoleg died, and forced to run away after being mistreated by her relatives, managing to adapt to life in the wild.

->"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."

* Nepotism: Appointed his son, Mothpelt, to succeed him as leader.

!!Darkstar
->"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."

The leader of [=SkyClan=] at the time the thirteenth code was established.

* 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.

* Nepotism: Was made the leader due to being the son of the prior leader, which was how leaders were chosen back then.

->"I am as loyal to SkyClan as I ever was. Too loyal to watch my Clanmates drown before they have a chance to fight. We can fight this battle another day."

!!Darkstar

'''Hunting Territory:''' Mountainus Forest\\

->"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."

->"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."

->"[=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."

->"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."

* SpiritAdvisor: A variation. In ''Battles of the Clans'', his spirit is the one who tells the kittypets about his Clans ways of fighting.

* TheMentor: To Mintfur and Duskpaw.

* 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 dies; 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.]]

->"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."

* UndyingLoyalty: Described as having "unflinching loyalty to the warrior code".

* TheApprentice: To Echosong.

* DisappearedDad: Her father left shortly after she and her littermates were born, which encouraged her mother to join [=SkyClan=] to protect them.

* DevouredByTheHorde: A variation, he's overwhelmed and killed by the swarm of rats in the final battle with them.

* DamselInDistress: She's being held captive by an abusive twoleg who is starving her when she's introduced in ''Firestar's Quest''.

!!Petalnose
[[quoteright:88:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/petalnose_7917.bmp]]
->"It always makes my heart just glow when new kits arrive in the Clan."

Mate of Rainfur and mother of Mintfur and Sagenose. She was originally trapped in the home of an abusive Twoleg, until [=SkyClan=] rescued her.

* HappilyMarried: To Birdflight. Having to leave her behind in [=ThunderClan=] while he finds 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.

* 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 did at all.

* OnlySaneMan: 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.

->"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?"

* 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 did at all.

* TheGhost: He's never seen, only mentioned by Cloudstar and Petalfall in conversation.

!!Flystar

!!Petalfall
->"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."

The deputy of ancient [=SkyClan=] under Flystar, before Cloudstar.

!!Cloudstar (Cloudstorm)
->"[=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.

[[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=]."]]

An 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.

After 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.

!!Spiderstar
->"May [=StarClan=] light a path for all of us. We still live on, but our Clan has died."

The 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''.
