BlogClan Tavern, The Ninth Life

I did some more family tracing things last night, and I discovered that Tigerstar I is related to Bluestar, Firestar, Redtail, Whitestorm, Lionheart, Cinderpelt, and even Ashfur!

Also mild spoilers toward the end regarding Ashfur ^^
[spoiler title=”This one is even longer than the last one”] It started with an unknown couple of cats, who had Sweetbriar and Fallowsong. Sweetbriar became mates with Oakstar, and they had Pinestar. Pinestar took Leopardfoot as a mate, and they had Nightkit, Mistkit, and Tigerstar I. Tigerstar I and Sasha had Tadpole, Hawkfrost, and Mothwing. Tigerstar I and Goldenflower had Bramblestar and Tawnypelt. Let’s follow Bramblestar’s side of the family, first- we’ll come back to Tawnypelt.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight had Dandelionkit, Juniperkit, Alderheart, and Sparkpelt. Sparkpelt and Larksong had Flickerkit, Flamepaw, and Finchpaw.
Now, back to Tawnypelt.
Tawnypelt and Rowanstar had Flametail, Dawnpelt, and Tigerstar II. Dawnpelt and Crowfrost had Strikestone, Juniperclaw, and Sleekwhisker. Tigerstar II and Dovewing had Pouncestep, Lightleap, and Shadowsight.
So far, we’ve found that Pinestar is related to some of the most important characters in the current Clans, including the second-ever female Warriors villain, Sleekwhisker! But it doesn’t stop there. Now we can chase Dovewing’s lineage back into ThunderClan- let’s see where that leads. To do that, we have to go all the way back to… Jake!
Jake and Nutmeg had unnamed kits, Firestar, and Princess. Princess and a kittypet named Oliver have unnamed kits and Cloudtail. Cloudtail and Brightheart had Ambermoon, Snowbush, Dewnose, and Whitewing. Whitewing and Birchfall had Dovewing and Ivypool. Ivypool and Fernsong had Thriftear, Flipclaw, and Bristlefrost.
As you can see, this makes Pinestar (and Tigerstar I!) very, very distantly related to Firestar! But that’s not all. The fact that Brightheart is in this family tree links even more cats to Pinestar’s family. Buckle up- we’re going way back in time again to connect these dots.
Robinwing and Fuzzypelt have Chestnutkit, Cherrypaw, Ravenpaw, Brindleface, Dustpelt, and Frostfur. Brindleface and Whitestorm have Tulipkit, Elderkit, Ashfur, and Ferncloud. We’ll come back to Ferncloud in just a second. Frostfur and Lionheart had Thornclaw, Cinderpelt, Brackenfur, and Brightheart. There’s our link to Pinestar again! Now, back to Ferncloud…
Ferncloud and Dustpelt had Larchkit, Hollykit, Shrewpaw, Birchfall, Foxleap, Icecloud, and Spiderleg. Spiderleg and Daisy had Toadstep and Rosepetal. 
Now we know that Pinestar is related- very, very distantly to- of all cats- Ashfur! But that’s not the only surprising thing about this. Here- let’s go back to Whitestorm, Ashfur’s dad. We know that Whitestorm’s mother was Snowfur… so let’s follow that. And by that, I mean we’re going all the way back to Daisytoe.
Daisytoe and Rooktail had Goosefeather and Moonflower. Moonflower and Stormtail had Bluestar and Snowfur. Bluestar and Oakheart had Mosskit, Stonefur, and Mistystar. Mistystar and Blackclaw had Perchkit, Pikepaw, Primrosepaw, and Reedwhisker.
This makes Pinestar related to Bluestar, Firestar, AND Tigerstar, along with Ashfur- the impostor himself!

I might write an article on this in the future- I love love love family tree tracing. If anyone has any suggestions of what cats I should try to connect, let me know!
