SkyClan

SkyClan is the fifth Clan of the original forest territories, a fact that is unknown to all cats except for Firestar and Sandstorm. Their territory used to be located where the Twolegplace of Firestar's birth currently sits and they have the unique ability to jump, a technique that has been passed on to some kittypets and rogues in the rocky canyon. SkyClan were driven out when their part of the forest was excavated to create Twolegplace. SkyClan appealed to the other Clans for help, but none of them wanted to redivide their territory and as such SkyClan was forced to leave the forest. They traveled north along the river before finally settling in a rocky canyon. Before long, however, an intelligent rat pack attacked and killed most of the Clan, forcing the remnants to scatter across the nearby forest and Twolegplaces.

Modern SkyClan was reformed when Firestar set out to reunite the lost descendants of the Clan throughout the nearby area. Having drove off the rat pack, SkyClan currently live at peace.

Firestar's Quest

SkyClan's only appearance to date is in Firestar's Quest, although another SkyClan-centered book (rumored to be entitled SkyClan's Destiny) will be released in 2011 in the US.

Cloudstar (Ancient SkyClan)

A pale gray tom with white patches and very pale blue eyes, Cloudstar was the leader of SkyClan when they were driven from the forest. Cloudstar and his Clan used to live in what is now the Twolegplace Firestar formerly lived in and were forced to leave the forest because of human developments over that area, despite asking other Clans for assistance. Cloudstar's mate Birdflight stayed behind with ThunderClan because of her kits. Cloudstar came into Firestar's dreams to plead for help and to tell him that he must rebuild SkyClan, and also visited the dreams of Firestar's old friend Smudge, whose house is situated over the place where the SkyClan camp used to be. In the end, SkyClan was rebuilt and Cloudstar comes to give Leafstar one of her nine lives and reunites with Birdflight, as well as their kits, Spottedpelt and Gorseclaw.

Cherrytail

A tortoiseshell she-cat, Cherrytail was a former kittypet named Cherry, and teased Skywatcher(before they knew his name, they called him "Moony") for his strange behaviors, but later learns she is a SkyClan cat and becomes Cherrypaw, mentored by Sharpclaw. In the end she receives her warrior name, and mentors Rockpaw. She is the sister of Sparrowpelt.

Shortwhisker/Hutch

A dark brown tabby tom, Shortwhisker was formerly a kittypet named Hutch. During his time in SkyClan, Shortwhisker was nervous around other cats, similar to Ravenpaw in ThunderClan. He overcame his fear and fought in the battle against the rats. After the battle, he realizes that Clan life isn't suited for him, a decision that Firestar and Leafstar respect, and reverts back to Hutch. Hutch also promised to spread the word to other cats about SkyClan.

Petalnose

A pale gray she-cat with blue eyes, Petalnose was a former kittypet named Petal who was rescued by Firestar, Sandstorm, and SkyClan from an abusive owner. Her mate is Rainfur, who died in the battle with the rats, and her two kits are Mintkit and Sagekit. After she was rescued she decided to stay in SkyClan with her mate and serve as a warrior once her kits were ready to be apprenticed.

Echosong

A silver tabby she-cat with green eyes, Echosong was a former kittypet named Echo with no trace of SkyClan characteristics, but was given the role of SkyClan's medicine cat after she began to have dreams of the ancient SkyClan and StarClan. At first she was unsure of interpreting dreams from her warrior ancestors, but later grew into her role as a medicine cat. Later, Fawnstep, the medicine cat of SkyClan at the time of its exile, said she would be sharing dreams with her, implying that Fawnstep would be Echosong's mentor, in the way that Leafpool was Willowpaw's mentor when Mothwing could not teach her about StarClan.

Leafstar

Leafstar, a brown and cream tabby she-cat with amber eyes, was a rogue named Leaf before she came to SkyClan. After she joined, Firestar gave her the warrior name of Leafdapple, and she mentored Sparrowpelt. StarClan later chose Leafstar to be leader because of her thoughtful personality and understanding of the warrior code. Firestar at first doesn't feel comfortable with her being the leader, but he realizes how perceptive she is when she tells him that she knows his first loyalty is to his own Clan at home. During her leader ceremony, the ancient leaders of the four Clans come together to give her four of her nine lives as an apology to SkyClan for driving them out. Firestar's daughter, Leafpool, was named after Leafstar.

Patchfoot

A black-and-white tom, Patchfoot was formerly a rogue named Patch. Due to a rat attack, his shoulder was injured. When he recovered, thanks to Spottedleaf showing Sandstorm and Firestar how to treat rat bites with burdock root, Patchfoot joined the fight against the rats. At the end of the book, he mentors Bouncepaw.

Skywatcher

A dark gray tom with pale blue eyes, Skywatcher was also known as Moony. Skywatcher was an old cat who was the last true warrior of SkyClan, named Sky, until Firestar and Sandstorm rebuilt SkyClan. He was the one to show them around SkyClan territory. He died in his sleep, but Firestar believes that he wanted to live to see SkyClan rebuilt. He returns to give Leafstar one of her nine lives and he is also the cat to inform Firestar of the Power of Three prophecy: "There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws."

Sharpclaw

A dark ginger tom, Sharpclaw was originally a rogue named Scratch. Sharpclaw became deputy of SkyClan under Leafstar. Because of his bravery and tough fighting techniques, Sharpclaw was the obvious choice for Clan leader in Firestar's point of view but felt he didn't respect the warrior code enough. He mentored Cherrytail.

Sparrowpelt

A dark brown tabby tom, Sparrowpelt was formerly a kittypet named Boris. He and his sister Cherrytail teased Skywatcher for his strange behaviors. Later, however, he learns he is a SkyClan cat and is mentored by Leafdapple (Leafstar). In the end he receives his warrior name and mentors Tinypaw.

Rainfur

A light gray tom with dark gray flecks, Rainfur was formerly a rogue. At first, he didn't want to join SkyClan but later was forced to ask for the Clan's help to rescue his mate, Petal (later Petalnose), from her cruel Twoleg owner. In the end, he decided to join SkyClan but was killed in the battle against the rats. He appeared in Leafstar's warrior ceremony to reassure Firestar that his death wasn't his fault. He is also the father of Mintkit and Sagekit.

Clovertail

A light brown she-cat with a white belly and legs, Clovertail was formerly a loner named Clover. She first met Firestar and Sandstorm while defending her kits against a fox. Afterwards, she joins SkyClan, but initially only for protection. In the end, her loyalty for SkyClan is proven when she fought in the battle against the rats. Apparently, she is partly descended from RiverClan, given that she is an avid swimmer and the fact that Firestar saw that Birchstar and Heavystep looked very much like Clovertail at Leafstar's leader ceremony. She is the mother of Rockpaw, Bouncepaw, and Tinypaw.

Rockpaw

A black tom, Rockpaw is one of the three kits of Clovertail's litter, formerly a loner named Rock. His mentor is Cherrytail.

Tinypaw

A tiny white she-cat, Tinypaw is one of the three kits of Clovertail's litter, formerly a loner named Tiny. Her mentor is Sparrowpelt.

Bouncepaw

A ginger tom, Bouncepaw is one of the three kits of Clovertail's litter, formerly a loner named Bounce. His mentor is Patchfoot.

Sagekit

Sagekit is a pale gray tabby she-cat. She named after the sage in her former Twoleg's garden. She is one of Petalnose and Rainfur's two kits, formerly a kittypet named Sage. Her brother is Mintkit.

Mintkit

Mintkit is a gray tom. He is named after the mint in his former Twoleg's garden. He is one of Petalnose and Rainfur's two kits, formerly a kittypet named Mint. His sister is Sagekit.

BloodClan

BloodClan is a group of ex-kittypets, rogues, and loners (cats who are not kittypets or part of a Clan) living in the large section of human suburbs (Twolegplace) located outside the forest, distinguished by the fact that they wear collars laden with teeth. BloodClan do not have a warrior code, do not believe in StarClan, and do not have the organization structure found in the other Clans. As a result, BloodClan is run in the style of a dictatorship, and cats who either break the rules or desire to leave are punished or killed.

Original Series

Aside from the standalone manga The Rise of Scourge, BloodClan is only featured prominently in the final book of the Original series, The Darkest Hour.

Bone

Bone is a huge black and white tom with green eyes. He serves as the unofficial "deputy" of BloodClan, and is Scourge's main enforcer, performing his dirty work. He kills Whitestorm during the final battle in The Darkest Hour, before being swarmed and killed by a group of apprentices, Bramblepaw, Tawnypaw, Ashpaw, Featherpaw and Stormpaw.

Scourge

Scourge, (Tiny at birth) a very small black tom with blue eyes and a single white paw, rules BloodClan through fear and a survival-of-the-fittest mentality, and refuses to provide for any cat that cannot support itself - i.e., elders and mentally ill cats. (He permits the mates of she-cats nursing kits to hunt for their mates purely out of pragmatism, so that the Clan does not simply cease to exist when all the elder cats die and there are no old cats to replace them.) Despite his small size, he is a very capable and dangerous fighter, and neither any sort of warrior's ethical code or merciful impulses restrain him in battle; he is brutal and ruthless (Rock saying in Cats of the Clans that he lacks "any sense of right or wrong"). His weakness is revealed to be his skepticism towards StarClan. It has been confirmed by the Erins that Firestar is Scourge's half-brother (Scourge and Firestar share the same father), as implied in "The Rise of Scourge" when Quince wonders about why the litter did not share their father's ginger color, making Firestar also the half-brother of Socks and Ruby, Scourge's littermates. Scourge is then related to Cloudtail, Leafpool, Princess, Squirrelflight, Whitewing, Whitewing's kits Dovepaw and Ivypaw, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather. Scourge's evil behavior is explained in "The Rise of Scourge" when his brother Socks and sister Ruby treat him very badly, corrupting him at an early age. His mother tells them not to pick on him but never really defends him the way he wants her to. Scourge runs off and is attacked by Tigerstar (Tigerpaw at the time). Scourge has held a grudge against Tigerstar ever since.
