Sunfire

Sunfire is a dark ginger tom with dark ginger paws, tail-tip, muzzle and ear-tips. He was the mentor of Stonetooth.

Sunfire was a hot-headed, battle-hungry tom who often disagreed with Shellstar's pacifist attitude. In receiving Shellstar's son, Stonepaw, as an apprentice, Sunfire instilled in Stonepaw from the moment he became an apprentice that fighting and battle were the only two aspects of being a warrior that mattered. He unknowingly turned Stonetooth against his own father, poisoning his thoughts by insulting Shellstar's calm, endearing ways and his unwillingness to call the Clan into battle. When Shellstar began to grow elderly, Sunfire told his old apprentice to challenge his father to a battle, and that whichever tom succeeded would take over for ThunderClan as the true leader. When Stonetooth brutally murdered his father in his sleep, Sunfire was horrified, claiming that it was cowardly and unjust, and that a competition between father and son was the honorable way to win, not by murder.
