SquirrelFlight

Squirrelflight is a dark ginger she-cat with one white paw, a squirrel-like, bushy tail, and green eyes. Squirrelflight is the current acting ThunderClan leader in the lake territories. She was born as Squirrelkit to Firestar and Sandstorm alongside Leafkit. As an apprentice, Squirrelpaw was mentored by Dustpelt. While her sister was calm and patient, Squirrelpaw was independent, brave, and fiercely passionate, which often got her into trouble. She followed Brambleclaw on the journey to the sun-drown place, where two grew close. When the Clans arrived at their new home by the lake, she was given her warrior name, Squirrelflight. She and Brambleclaw became parents to Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf. However, it was revealed that their kits were actually Crowfeather and Leafpool's. Brambleclaw was furious about being lied to, and the two broke up.

After the battle against the Dark Forest, Brambleclaw became leader and appointed Squirrelflight as his deputy as a display of forgiveness. They eventually had kits of their own: Alderkit, Sparkkit, Juniperkit, and Dandelionkit, though only Alderheart and Sparkpelt survived to adulthood. Squirrelflight eventually came at odds with Bramblestar when she defended the Sisters from ThunderClan and was almost killed by a rockslide. StarClan allowed her body to heal, but Leafpool died. After Bramblestar's unexpected death, Squirrelflight took over his duties but she relinquished them when he was revived. When she discovered Bramblestar was being possessed, she was exiled by the false leader and took refuge in ShadowClan. After deposing the impostor, Squirrelflight rejoined ThunderClan and became its acting leader. She revealed Ashfur as the identity of the impostor, and struggled to keep her Clan together, advocating for the return of Bramblestar's spirit. However, she somberly accepted his permanent disappearance, but Ashfur kidnapped Squirrelflight through the Moonpool, bringing her to the Place of No Stars.
