Hi! My name is Blossomshine, and this is my first article! Today, I’m going to be sharing my opinions on Clear Sky, a character in the Dawn Of The Clans arc.
Not all of us like Clear Sky (and with good reason), in fact I haven’t met any people who do (but I know you guys are out there) but if you think about it, Clear Sky isn’t all bad.
So I’m going to go over all of Clear Sky’s bad traits and mistakes, and then all of his good traits and stuff he actually did right.
I don’t think many people have done articles about Clear Sky, so I thought that it might be interesting to write one 🙂
Anyway, let’s get started!
**SPOILERS FOR DAWN OF THE CLANS AHEAD**

Clear Sky wasn’t always the fox-heart that he acted like.
During The Sun Trail, book 1 of Dawn of the Clans, he was actually pretty decent. He was a strong, confident cat, one that I could easily see becoming a good leader one day.
He was a loving mate, caring deeply for Bright Stream.
Clear Sky was an important cat on the journey through the mountains, staying strong even when Bright Stream died, an example of his resilience.
But then things went downhill.
Upon arrival, Clear Sky led a group of the mountain cats into the forest and started creating borders.
He kicked Jagged Peak, his own neither, out of his group just because of his broken leg, instead of caring for him and helping him grow confident and strong again.
He was willing to stand by and watch Fox kill Gray Wing over BORDERS.
Seriously.
And then he just stood by and watched Storm, who was expecting his kits, leave his group to fend for herself. Did I mention she was EXPECTING HIS KITS. I mean, who does that?
Then he rejected his son Thunder, though I suppose Thunder did have a better life with Gray Wing anyway.
But it doesn’t end there. Oh no. It just begins.
Then he pretended like neglecting Thunder was part of a bigger plan, brought Thunder to his own group, kicked Frost, a member of his group to die, and then started the Great Battle and KILLED his own Tribemate, who helped to raise him.
And all he had to say for it is, “I’m not greedy. I’m just powerful.”
Ummm, okay Clear Sky…
But he regretted that decision.
His third mate, Star Flower, softened him. She understood him, and was always by his side, which reassured him of his leadership skills.
He was a very loyal mate to her, loving her enough to put aside his own pride to beg the other leaders for help when Slash took Star Flower.
And his kits helped him realise what a horrible father he had been to Thunder.
And he DID save Gray Wing’s son.
By the end of Dawn of the Clans,
