Sootstar

Sootstar takes after his father, Scorchfur, with his dark gray pelt and amber eyes. Sootstar was the third cat attacked and the first (and only) attacked cat to survive. Nobody ever really questioned him about what he saw, and he claims he never got a good look at his attacker. But Lilacslash and Lilyfur knew he knew it was them, and for that, he became terrified of his sisters, although he became considerably braver throughout the course of the book.

Birth and Family
Sootstar was born toward the end of leaf-fall. His father was Scorchfur, the deputy of MoonClan, and his mother was Kindheart. He was apart of their second litter. His sisters were Lilacslash and Lilyfur, although Lilyfur came from the litter before him. He takes on Snowdawn as a mate, and they later have two kits named Spiderkit and Cloudkit.

Kithood
Sootstar mainly followed his sister, Lilacslash, around when they were kits. She bullied him a lot, but he would allow her to. He always went where she went no matter the consequences because he was afraid of her.

Apprenticeship
Sootstar's mentor was Blackpelt. He tried his best to stay away from Lilacslash during his apprenticship. While he was an apprentice, he was attacked by the so called "rouges" that had killed Whitefoot and Coldheart, and found out it was actually Lilacslash and Lilyfur. He survived the attack, becoming the only cat to do so, and told Snowdawn the truth, making her promise not to tell anybody else in fear that Lilacslash would kill her.

Warriorhood
Sootstar's warrior name was Sootlife. As a warrior, he stayed by Snowdawn's side and tried to help the clan through the troubling times. He went missing for a period of time while with a patrol looking for Branchflight in the Twolegplace, and when he returns, it is revealed that after the previous leader of the patrol died from a dog attack, he took leadership. This later sways Moonstar to choose him as the next deputy after Scorchfur dies. In the battle of MoonClan, Sootstar attacks his sister, Lilacslash, and kills her.

Leadership
After Moonstar dies in the battle of MoonClan, Sootstar becomes the new leader of MoonClan.
