Rusty

Firestar is a ginger tabby tom with green eyes.

Into the Wild
Firestar is first seen as a kittypet, Rusty, when he ventures out from his garden in hunt of a mouse, and is attacked by Graypaw. Impressed at his ability to fight back, Rusty is then is offered a position in ThunderClan by its’ leader, Bluestar who allows him one night to contemplate. When morning comes, Bluestar is delighted to find Rusty has accepted her offer. Bidding farewell to his friend Smudge, Rusty strides into the forest, excited to meet his new clanmates. Most of the clan take to him right away, although the select few are disgusted at the idea of a soft kittypet living amongst honorable warriors. Among these doubtful cats is Longtail. Longtail and Rusty break out in a fight, though this ends quickly when Rusty leaves Longtail with a nasty nick in his ear; in turn, Longtail rips Rusty's collar off. Thunderclan sees this as a sign that Rusty truly belongs, cleansed of his kittypet ways, excluding Sandpaw and Dustpaw, who still resent him him. With a new name- Firepaw -and a new ambition, he breaks the warrior code by helping a Shadowclan outcast named Yellowfang, and as punishment from Bluestar, Firepaw must care for her. At the end of the book, he rescues ThunderClan kits and drives out Brokenstar to earn his warrior name: Fireheart.

Fire and Ice
He gets his first apprentice Cinderpaw who is caught in a trap by Tigerclaw, which cripples her leg, making her Yellowfang apprentice. He also finds his sister and starts to meet her.

Forest of Secrets
His sister gives him her first born son to be raised in ThunderClan. His best friend is meeting a RiverClan she cat and when they are bringing RiverClan ThunderClan prey, she tells Graystripe that she is having his kits. One night when they meet, Silverstream gives birth and she looses too much blood and after giving birth to a she-kit and tom kit, she dies. Fireheart’s suspicion of Tigerclaw was proved when Tigerclaw led a group of rouges and loners to attack ThunderClan and was exiled. Fireheart was named the new deputy, but he wasn’t that happy because Graystripe left to RiverClan with his kits.

Rising Storm
His nephew was old enough to be an apprentice and was given to Fireheart to train. At the end of the book, Tigerclaw is then Tigerstar, leader of ShadowClan.

A Dangerous Path
His best friend Graystripe comes back from RiverClan and joins ThunderClan again. Tigerstar had set a pack of dogs on ThunderClan so Fireheart thought of leading them over the gorge to their death and when it is his turn to lead the dogs, Tigerstar held him down and the dogs would have killed him if Bluestar hadn’t given her life to save him. Before she died she told him about a prophecy Spottedleaf told her that fire alone will save our clan and the he was the “fire”.

Darkest Hour
Fireheart gets his leader name and nine lives. Tigerstar brings BloodClan into the forest to help him but when he died, BloodClan demanded the forest and when they got all the clans to fight them and go to fight them, Whitestorm died so he made Graystripeis new deputy.

Firestar’s Quest
Firestar was having dreams of screaming cats running away and found out that there was a fifth clan named SkyClan and went to remake SkyClan. While he is rebuilding SkyClan, he was told a prophecy by Skywatcher that “there will be three, kin of your kin, who will hold the power of stars in their paws”. At end of the book, it is said that Firestar and Spottedleaf are mates and they have two kits together: Squirrelkit and Leafkit.
