Cloudstar

Cloudstar (Cloudfoot) was a massive, scarred white tom with green eyes and long, thick fur. He was the mate of Swanwing and the father of Grasstail, Mallownose and Brownwhisker.

Cloudstar was the deputy and former mentor of Graystar, and became leader of ThunderClan after Graystar died. He was already an older tom when Graystar died, and he lived only two years after Graystar's death, leaving his deputy Emberstar to become leader.

Cloudstar became ThunderClan leader the same night Graystar died; as the two ThunderClan cats were traveling across WindClan territory to reach Mothermouth, a massive dog attacked, taking the last three lives of Graystar and badly wounding Cloudstar. Cloudstar buried Graystar beneath a tree near the Thunderpath, then traveled to Mothermouth to consult with StarClan. He received his nine lives at that time, being visted by Graystar himself and receiving a life from his old apprentice and leader. When Cloudstar returned home he was the new ThunderClan leader, and he was both accepted and rejected by his fellow Clanmates. Two cats in particular, Scorchfur and Dewfoot, believed that Cloudstar had killed Graystar purposefully, in order to become ThunderClan leader before he died of old age. Cloudstar died two years after he became leader, and when he died even Scorchfur and Dewfoot mourned for the old ThunderClan leader, claiming that he was a good, strong and confident leader with a heart set on bettering his Clan and maintaining balance between the other four Clans.

Cloudstar was said to be a descendant of Wind, the first WindClan leader, because his father was a WindClan cat and his mother was a ThunderClan cat. His father, Thrushfeather, was a grandson of Eagleheart, who was a nephew of Wind.
