Biography
Battles of the Clans
Cloudstorm is a young warrior and comes up with a strategy to drive away kittypets from their territory. Petalfall, the deputy, agrees to his plan with Flystar away. SkyClan attacks the Twolegplace, and they successfully scare the kittypets away from SkyClan land. Cloudstorm is confident SkyClan's destiny lies within their own paws and not StarClan.
Cloudstar’s Journey
Cloudstorm is now Cloudstar, with Buzzardtail as his deputy. Maplestar, Darkstar and Rowanstar visit him in his dreams and insist SkyClan will endure through any challenge. Fawnstep begins to have troubling dreams, but Cloudstar brushes aside her worries. While training with the apprentices, a Twoleg monster uproots the tree they were in, and reassures his Clanmates' worries that StarClan wouldn't let anything happen to them. He orders his warriors to avoid the territory the Twolegs have commandeered, and denies any problems at the Gathering despite the lack of prey.
Cloudstar prepares his Clanmates for battle against ThunderClan in hopes to regain territory Darkstar had given them moons ago. They lose the fight, however, and Fawnstep confides she had a dream of SkyClan leaving the forest. As Twolegs have taken a majority of their territory, Birdflight gives birth to his kits, Gorsekit and Spottedkit. At the next Gathering, Cloudstar begs to the other Clans to give up land, but they refuse to help. Without another option, Cloudstar leads his Clan away and leaves behind his family to ThunderClan, the kits too young to travel.
Firestar’s Quest
Cloudstar is now part of SkyClan’s ancestors. He sends Firestar, ThunderClan's leader, unexplained visions of his Clan wandering to find a new home. Firestar is troubled by the visions, and after hearing Smudge has seen the strange cat too, Firestar sleeps in Smudge's yard. Cloudstar finally appears to Firestar and explains how SkyClan was driven out by the other Clans many moons ago. He asks Firestar, a cat who was not a descendant of those who betrayed him, to rebuild his Clan in their old home. Firestar accepts his quest. After successfully revitalizing SkyClan, Cloudstar appears at Leafstar's leadership ceremony to give her a life for endurance. He is also finally reunited with his mate, Birdflight, and children, Spottedpelt and Gorseclaw.
Hawkwing’s Journey
Cloudstar and Brackenheart meet with Skystar in StarClan to discuss SkyClan's impending doom. Cloudstar is insistent SkyClan will endure the coming trials, but Skystar replies it wouldn't be enough and the Clan needs to find spark that remains.
