History
In the Original Series
Into the Wild
- Bluestar first appears near the beginning of Into the Wild along with Lionheart, and meets Rusty for the first time. Here she offers him membership in ThunderClan, which he later accepts. She dubs the young cat Firepaw, in accordance to a prophecy her medicine cat Spottedleaf received from StarClan. Tigerclaw later returned with the dead body of Redtail, much to the chagrin of Bluestar. After Redtail's death, Bluestar named Lionheart the deputy of ThunderClan. Bluestar later took Firepaw as her apprentice.
- When Brokenstar demanded hunting rights from all the other Clans, Bluestar refused to agree to his demands, and stood up for Yellowfang, despite the ShadowClan leader's insinuation that she might harm kits. Along with Tigerclaw, Firepaw, Graypaw, and Ravenpaw, Bluestar traveled to Highstones to share dreams with StarClan. During their return, the cats were attacked by rats, and Bluestar lost a life.
- As StarClan warned Bluestar, ShadowClan had attacked the ThunderClan camp in their absence, and in the battle, Bluestar's trustworthy deputy Lionheart was slain. She then named Tigerclaw ThunderClan's new deputy. Tigerclaw believed that she only had four lives remaining. After the battle, due to her brave defence of ThunderClan's kits, Bluestar granted membership in ThunderClan to Yellowfang. One day in her den, she revealed to her apprentice that she had really lost her seventh life, not her fifth, in the battle with the rats. When Yellowfang disappeared along with Frostfur's kits, Bluestar sent Firepaw to find her and get the truth. She then made Yellowfang the new medicine cat.
Fire and Ice
- In Fire and Ice, Bluestar makes sure that WindClan is found by sending Fireheart and Graystripe to go find them, and soon after she copes with many problems. The first is the threat of RiverClan and ShadowClan making an alliance with each other, during leaf-bare she comes down with greencough, a very serious disease. It causes her to lose her eighth life, meaning if she dies once more she is permanently gone. The last problem is that it is suspected that RiverClan and ShadowClan are hunting in ThunderClan territory. Riverclan has an excuse unknown by Bluestar, but instead of Shadowclan it turns out to be Brokenstar, the ex-leader of Shadowclan, and his band of rogues. After he his blinded by Yellowfang, Bluestar accepts the newly named Brokentail into to the Clan, under the care of his mother, Yellowfang, until he is healed.
Forest of Secrets
- In Forest of Secrets, Bluestar finds out about Tigerclaw's treachery when he brings the rogues to attack ThunderClan. While the other Clan cats are busy fighting them off, he slipped into Bluestar's den. He was planning on killing her, and probably would have succeeded if it weren't for Fireheart's interference. She exiles Tigerclaw from ThunderClan.
Rising Storm
- In Rising Storm, Bluestar has become a shell of her former self. She trusts only Fireheart and Whitestorm. She tried to go to Highstones to speak with StarClan, but was stopped by a WindClan patrol including Mudclaw.
A Dangerous Path
- Bluestar has now grown to loathe StarClan, believing that they had betrayed her. She portrays this hatred to her own Clan by only making giving Cloudtail his warrior name because he does not believe in StarClan(And because he is Fireheart's kin), and giving Brightpaw the name of Lostface. In the end of A Dangerous Path, Fireheart was being attacked by the leader of the dog pack, when Bluestar comes running full sprint and cannons into the dogs side, knocking the dog and herself off the side of the gorge, into the river. She dies naming Fireheart leader.
The Darkest Hour
- When Firestar is recieving his nine lives, Bluestar gives Firestar his ninth and final life, with the gift of nobiltity, certainty, and faith, and his leader name, Firestar. She then gives him the prophecy "Four will become two, Lion and Tiger will meet in battle, and Blood will rule the forest".
