Brightstar is a ginger and white she cat

In the Series
Biightkit is born with her brother Redkit. She is harassed by the older kits, Cinderkit and Treekit from another litter. She is also tormented by the apprentice Stonepaw, but soon she begins to develop feelings for him, but worries about this as a kit.

Brightpaw is apprenticed to Lionfur, a very young warrior who is nervous about an apprentice. She maintains a strong relationship with Redpaw and Stonepaw throughout her apprenticeship.

Right after she becomes a warrior, she finds she is pregnant with the kits of Stoneclaw and does not tell Redclaw in fear. She gives birth to two kits who she gives to another queen, Palefur, and names them Graykit and Icekit for their fur color. She tells Stoneclaw, and he is angry at her for not letting him be a father.

Brightclaw and Stoneclaw grow distant, especially when Stoneclaw is named deputy. She begins to feel hatred towards Cindertail who has made advances towards him. However, she begins to feel love towards Stoneclaw again and she tells her kits, Graypaw and Icepaw, who their real parents are and why she gave them away.

Her daughers reject her at first but tell her they love both her and Palefur as their mothers, and Stoneclaw as their real father. Stoneclaw shows affection towards his kits and forgives Brightclaw.

Stonestar becomes leader and names Brightclaw his deputy. Feeling happy, Brightclaw notices that Redclaw has been missing lately and then sees him with the BreezeClan medicine cat Sunheart. She grows furious before noticing a kit, who Redclaw says is his with Sunheart and is named Nightkit.

Brightclaw thinks this is odd seeing Nightheart is the name of the BreezeClan deputy, and Redclaw said that is why Sunheart asked for that name. They take home Nightkit and Brightclaw says she found him abondoned. Stonestar is suspicous since she lied before, but notices it is Redclaw's scent on the kit.

Stonestar dies years later and Brightstar becomes leader with Redclaw deputy. She has a peaceful reign before she is trapped and killed in a battle with TreeClan by Cindertail who hoped to take the leadership herself.
