"StarClan appointed me the leader of ThunderClan. And that means I'm willing to risk anything, even if it means I die, or get trapped here forever. I must save my mate, and ThunderClan, and all the Clans. I have to put this right." |
— Bramblestar to Rootspring about rescuing Squirrelflight in the Dark Forest in The Place of No Stars, page 261 |
Brambleclaw is a dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes.[18]
Brambleclaw is the former leader of ThunderClan in the lake territories, now retired as an elder. He was born as Bramblekit to Tigerclaw and Goldenflower in ThunderClan with his sister Tawnypelt. His father was exiled from ThunderClan after he attempted to murder Bluestar, and Bramblekit constantly attempted to prove himself free of his father's shadow. As an apprentice, Bramblepaw was mentored by Fireheart so the latter could keep a close eye on him. As a warrior, Brambleclaw was chosen to go on a quest to find Midnight, and he grew close with Squirrelpaw. At their new home, Brambleclaw became deputy with the promise to mentor Berrynose, and he killed his half-brother, Hawkfrost, when the RiverClan tom trapped Firestar in a fox trap for Brambleclaw to kill.
Brambleclaw became a father to Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf, but later broke up with Squirrelflight when it was revealed their true parents were Crowfeather and Leafpool; for a time, Brambleclaw was furious about this. He became leader of ThunderClan as Bramblestar after Firestar died in the Great Battle, and appointed Squirrelflight as his deputy. They forgave each other and had four kits of their own: Alderheart, Sparkpelt, Juniperkit, and Dandelionkit. Bramblestar eventually fell ill, and without the guidance of StarClan, he died. However, instead of coming back into his body, a different spirit possessed it, leaving Bramblestar trapped as a ghost and the spirit posing as the ThunderClan leader. He sought help from Rootpaw who was able to convince multiple cats of Bramblestar's situation. The impostor trapped Bramblestar in the Place of No Stars until he was freed by Shadowsight. Squirrelflight revealed his body is inhabited by Ashfur seeking vengeance on Squirrelflight. However, Bramblestar's spirit remained missing, and the Clans decided to kill Ashfur, but he escaped with Bramblestar's body into the Moonpool with Squirrelflight. Bramblestar remained trapped in the Dark Forest, under control by Ashfur until the intervention of Shadowsight, Rootspring, and eventually the Dark Forest spirit Snowtuft. Bramblestar was reunited with his body and escaped back to the Clans with Squirrelflight. However, Bramblestar remained traumatized by his time in the Dark Forest and how Ashfur used his body and name to wreak havoc on the Clans, adopting a more pacifist approach to matters and opting to avoid violence when possible. He later stepped down to an elder, regaining his warrior name, Brambleclaw, with Squirrelstar taking his place.

The Prophecies Begin
- "Join you? Join you? After everything you've done? I'd rather die!"
- ―Bramblepaw to Tigerstar The Darkest Hour, pages 223-224
The New Prophecy
- "Brambleclaw, think, will you? You're an amazing cat already; you're brave and loyal and you have tremendous warrior skills. Why do you need Tigerstar?"
- ―Tawnypelt to Brambleclaw in the Dark Forest Sunset, page 180
- StarClan chooses Brambleclaw, Feathertail, Tawnypelt, and Crowpaw to make the journey to the sun-drown place to hear StarClan's message from Midnight the badger, and Stormfur and Squirrelpaw accompany them. Brambleclaw naturally takes on a leadership role of the journeying cats and they grow to respect him, and he and Squirrelpaw become close. They return to the Clans with terrible news that the Twolegs were going to destroy their home and the Clans have to move to a new place. He helps lead the Clans alongside his friends from the journey to their new home by the lake.
- Brambleclaw becomes close to his half-brother, Hawkfrost, after learning that the RiverClan warrior was his kin. Squirrelflight distrusts Hawkfrost, and she and Brambleclaw fight about his relationship with Hawkfrost, and they end up breaking up. He and Hawkfrost train with their father in the Dark Forest, and Tigerstar plots his sons' takeover of the Clans. With Graystripe still missing after being taken by Twolegs, StarClan sends Leafpool a dream approving Brambleclaw as the rightful deputy of ThunderClan; despite having not trained an apprentice, Brambleclaw is named deputy and promised to mentor Berrykit. Hawkfrost, encouraged by their father Tigerstar, sets up a trap for Firestar so that Brambleclaw can kill him and become leader. Brambleclaw realizes his loyalty is to ThunderClan and his leader, and kills Hawkfrost, fulfilling the "blood will spill blood" prophecy. Squirrelflight begins to trust him again and they become mates.
Power of Three
- "If you want to be remembered for your strengths, you must work on them. And if that means proving yourself to those who doubt you, then do it. You can't force Hollypaw to believe in you. You have to show her that you are worth believing in."
- ―Brambleclaw to Lionpaw Dark River, page 72
Omen of the Stars
- "I will honor my ancestors in StarClan, but not those who have ever walked in the Dark Forest. Guide my steps wisely, warriors of the past. And warriors of now."
- ―Brambleclaw rising as a new leader The Last Hope, page 328
A Vision of Shadows
- "There is no use in blaming. What is important now is to remember that we came together to drive out the rogues. We would not let them destroy the Clans then, and we must not let them tear us apart now. Together we are strong. If the events of the past moons has taught us anything, they have taught us that."
- ―Bramblestar at a Gathering Darkest Night, page 29
The Broken Code
- "Speak up! Say something! You can't let this happen! Whoever's in my body up there, this is just the start. He's going to destroy the Clans! He'll turn the Clans against one another, and then he'll turn each Clan against itself. Some cat has to speak out!"
- ―Bramblestar to Rootpaw The Silent Thaw, page 183
- Squirrelflight reveals the impostor to be Ashfur who used Bramblestar's body to get close to Squirrelflight as revenge for her choosing Bramblestar over himself. While Bramblestar's ghost remains missing, several Clan cats wish to destroy Ashfur to get rid of him, but Squirrelflight holds hope for the return of her mate. After the Sisters fail to summon his spirit, the Clan leaders decide to kill Bramblestar's body, and Squirrelflight grimly accepts his fate. Ashfur, upon learning that the Clans had decided to kill him, forces Bramblestar to possess his body once more to convince Shadowsight to let him escape, though Shadowsight ponders if it was really Bramblestar, or Ashfur putting on the persona once more. Ashfur escapes with Bramblestar's body and kidnaps Squirrelflight, bringing her to the Dark Forest, where Bramblestar still remained and was subsequently put under Ashfur's control like the other spirits Ashfur had captured, until Bramblestar was able to escape with Squirrelflight from the assistance of Rootspring and Snowtuft, where Bramblestar was also able to get back into his body and return to the living world with his mate. Bramblestar resumes his position as leader of ThunderClan, and after the defeat of Ashfur, he names those who entered the Dark Forest as Lights in the Mist.
A Starless Clan
- "I'm humbled by StarClan's faith in me. But I don't have that faith in myself any longer. I've seen too much in the past few moons...too much fighting, too much bloodshed. I'm not the cat I was before, and I cannot lead like I once did. I want only peace, and that's not the right frame of mind for any leader, because a Clan must be willing to protect our kits and elders, and stand proud among the other Clans."
- ―Bramblestar to his Clan Shadow (book), pages 266-267

- «Close to him, [Firestar] could see that Bramblepaw's serious expression hid an almost unbearable excitement. He realized how much this ceremony meant to his apprentice; had Bramblepaw sometimes doubted that he would ever be accepted into ThunderClan as a full warrior?»
- —Firestar's thoughts before Bramblepaw's warrior ceremony Firestar's Quest, page 19
- "Firestar is dead. I am leader of ThunderClan now. And I am proud to uphold his legacy of preserving all the Clans in the forest. No Clan was left behind on the Great Journey to find the lake. No Clan was abandoned to fight alone against the Dark Forest. No Clan will be allowed to fall now, not if the rest of us can protect them."
- ―Bramblestar to the Clans at the Gathering Bramblestar's Storm, page 472
- "Don't talk to your mother like that! I don't care how upset you are. Hurting cats who love you isn't going to help Larksong. It's just going to make everyone as miserable as you are. I'm sorry Larksong is ill, and we'll do everything to make sure he gets well again, but don't accuse your mother of being a mouse-heart. She's one of the bravest warriors I know. And I'm doing everything I can to keep peace among the Clans. I have to stand up to Tigerstar, or he'll push SkyClan around forever. It's hard standing up for what you believe in, and it's even harder when the cats who are supposed to support you undermine you instead. I'm trying to lead a Clan! How can I expect my warriors to follow me if my own kin challenge me at every turn?"
- ―Bramblestar to Squirrelflight and Sparkpelt Squirrelflight's Hope, page 211
- In Squirrelflight's Hope, Bramblestar struggles to maintain the peace between the Clans and isn't as eager to have another litter as Squirrelflight is. The two continually argue when Squirrelflight seems to favor the Sisters over her own Clan, and even questions her legitimacy as his deputy. He and Squirrelflight find some peace spending time with Sparkpelt's kits, Finchkit and Flamekit, after Larksong and Flickerkit die. Squirrelflight convinces Bramblestar to not attack the Sisters, and he mourns for her after she is fatally injured from a cave in. After Squirrelflight returns from StarClan, the two reconcile.

- "Know this, warriors. The Dark Forest will win if we do not forgive those cats who were once their allies. Forgiveness is far more powerful than hatred and suspicion. United, we are as strong as we ever were. Divided, we will fall. Remember that the Dark Forest is still out there, ready to prey on our dreams. Hostility and distrust among us will give them more force than they deserve."
