Warrior Cats characters by Clan and arc
Find a character by name, story Clan or first main arc. This starter index covers ten profiles, not every cat in the series. Clan labels describe story affiliations rather than a single current roster.
Last checked: 2026-10-24. Facts below were re-read on 2026-10-24.
Evidence and limits
First arc means the first main-series arc featuring the character, not the earliest event in their life or the publication of a later prequel. Afterlife categories and changing leader names are explained on the individual profiles.
Character finder
Some rows contain more than one Clan because a cat changes allegiance. Ravenpaw later lives outside the Clans; BloodClan is not one of the five living warrior Clans.
| Character | Clan | First arc | Role / story context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firestar | ThunderClan | The Prophecies Begin | Warrior, then leader |
| Jayfeather | ThunderClan | Power of Three | Medicine cat |
| Scourge | BloodClan | The Prophecies Begin | BloodClan leader |
| Hawkfrost | RiverClan | The New Prophecy | Warrior; later Dark Forest involvement is a spoiler |
| Ravenpaw | ThunderClan; later loner | The Prophecies Begin | Former apprentice; not a confirmed fully named ThunderClan warrior |
| Graystripe | ThunderClan; also RiverClan | The Prophecies Begin | Warrior, deputy and later elder at different points |
| Bluestar | ThunderClan | The Prophecies Begin | Leader during her first-arc storyline |
| Tigerstar | ThunderClan; ShadowClan | The Prophecies Begin | First-arc antagonist and later ShadowClan leader |
| Yellowfang | ShadowClan; ThunderClan | The Prophecies Begin | Medicine cat |
| Squirrelflight / Squirrelstar | ThunderClan | The New Prophecy | Warrior, deputy and later leader at different story points |
Names and generations
Rusty, Firepaw, Fireheart and Firestar are one cat. Squirrelflight later becomes Squirrelstar. The original Tigerstar was Tigerclaw; the later Tigerstar was Tigerheart, his grandson. The shared leader name is not evidence they share a biography.
Books, family trees and games
The official cats directory has far more entries and can contain major spoilers. Use the family guide for selected relationships, or the official family-tree tool for wider exploration.
The RPG store advertises nine familiar book cats; it does not promise that every character listed here is available as an NPC. Character drawings or Roblox player morphs are not sufficient encounter evidence.
Questions people ask
Why are there only ten profiles?
This is a selected starting index, not a claim that only ten characters exist or matter.
Why not sort everyone by their current Clan?
Current can mean the newest novel, a historical biography or an afterlife affiliation. The table uses clearly labelled story affiliations instead.
Are both Tigerstars on one page?
The Tigerstar page distinguishes the original Tigerclaw from the later Tigerheart so the shared name does not merge two generations.
