Mothpaw has a look at Hawkfrost’s journey into darkness.


Welcome to my first article!
Here we shall look at how deep Hawkfrostās final act of attempting to murder Firestar goes!
It can go as deep as being Adderfangās fault.
Adderfang? What?
So, Hawkfrost was motivated by Tigerstar. He became more vicious and ambitious as he became to know what Tigerstar did. He was so sweet and innocent in Sasha and Tigerstar! He didnāt even act like Tigerkit! He was just the same as Tadpole. Which means that his father must be the one who motivated him.
After learning more about his father (some time between Sasha and Tigerstar and Dawn, I think), he started becoming a little more āIām going to become evil!ā and stuff. After he started visiting Tigerstar and chatting with Brambleclaw, he started becoming REALLY āIām going to be the least innocent and the most evil cat ever!ā and stuff. So it looks like Tigerstar is to blame.
But why Adderfang and not Tigerstar?
We hopefully all know that Thistleclaw is Tigerstarās mentor. The worst decision ever. So, Tigerstar was ambitious, yes, but why?
Well, Tigerstar was planning on being the best warrior ever since the moment he was born. But a few things lead up to Tigerstar going from āIām the best kit!ā to āIām going to lead all the clans and kill everyone in my way!ā And the main thing that changed this was Thistleclaw, which you saw coming.
So, Thistleclaw trained in the dark forest and trained Tigerstar (at the time Tigerpaw) in some of these ways. He taught Tigerpaw stuff like, āNo cat is to trespass on our territory!ā and āBluefur is the worst!ā This is shown when Tigerpaw injures Scourge. He sides with his mentor and shows no mercy. Pinestarās rejection and Goosefeatherās yelling were minor factors, but Thistleclaw is the main one.
Thistleclaw.
Oh, the worst cat ever.
And his ambitious mentor.
Itās his fault. Although Thistleclaw was bad, bad, bad kitty from the moment he was born, Adderfang taught him that the other clans were evil and stuff. This is shown in Bluestarās Prophecy, when he says, āāIn greenleaf,ā Thistlepaw snapped, āBut what about during leaf-bare, when we need every whisker of territory?āā Bluestar reflects that he is just repeating what Adderfang taught him.
So Adderfang, in conclusion, is the reason Hawkfrost tried to murder Firestar moons later.
Supporting cats:
Brambleclaw, for creating competition
Ashfur, for helping Hawkfrost with his plan
Squirrelflight, for infuriating Ashfur
Jake, for convincing Pinestar to move and giving birth to Firestar.
Firestar, for existing and giving Hawkfrost a victim
Mudclaw, for motivating Hawkfrost
Tallstar, for infuriating Mudaw
So, In conclusion, Hawkfrost is just the story of motivation and amplification.
Ohh nice article! Good points.
good points!
Adderfang is actually Tigerstar’s grandfather. Ambition runs in the family then..
Good article!
Good points.
So Adderfang started it all…..
Interesting!
Bad Adderfang. Bad, bad, Adderfang.
Hey, Tigerstar! my dad is your dads best friend!
I think there is a typo…
Jake didn’t give birth to Firestar.
Yes he did. He and nutmeg. Look it up on the fandom.
Hawkfrost is my favorite character
