Warriors: Cats of the Clans: Graystripe

Graystripe

Graystripe, a solid long-haired gray tom with amber eyes and a dark stripe along his back, is Firestar's first and best friend in ThunderClan. He meets Firestar, known as Rusty at the time, in the forest close to Rusty's kittypet home and proceeds to attack him as if he were any other intruder. When Rusty joins ThunderClan as Firepaw, the two become great friends and often train and eat together. Graystripe's mentor was Lionheart, who was killed in Into the Wild. He become a warrior soon after the battle with ShadowClan to rescue ThunderClan kits with Firestar at the end of Into the Wild. Since then he has been a mentor to Brackenfur.

Shortly after being promoted to a full warrior, Graystripe falls in love with a RiverClan she-cat, Silverstream after she saves him from drowning, and starts to sneak out of camp to meet her which is against the warrior code. His friendship with Fireheart is strained due to Fireheart's need to cover for him while he is away, and for a short time the two quarrel with each other. Eventually Graystripe is able to settle his issues with Fireheart, and their friendship continues. In the end of the original series, he becomes ThunderClan's deputy, due to Whitestorm's death, but is replaced by Brambleclaw when he was captured in Dawn.

Graystripe is a friendly, hearty character. He often makes quips or jokes in order to provide relief to a tense situation, but is able to focus himself during battles and concentrate on the objective at hand. Graystripe often fights among the hardest of any cats during a battle, and is able to use his large weight to a great advantage. He usually returns from a battle with several wounds, having fought beyond the normal threshold of an ordinary cat and refusing to run. He does not have any qualms about killing hated enemies of the Clan, and is responsible for the deaths of Clawface and Darkstripe, among others.

Graystripe has lived in more locations than any other cat in the series. When Silverstream died bearing his kits, Graystripe went to live with them in RiverClan for a while. He returned to ThunderClan in A Dangerous Path. In Dawn of The New Prophecy series, Graystripe was captured by humans, or "Twolegs" and lived as a kittypet for a time, which is described in further detail in The Lost Warrior manga series. While living as a kittypet, Graystripe met Millie, another kittypet, who helped him escape. After a long journey, the two finally returned to the Clans living at the lake. He returned to ThunderClan in The Sight of the Power of Three series, along with Millie as his new mate.

He had two children with Silverstream, Feathertail and Stormfur. He mentored Stormfur for a while when his kits, along with Mistyfoot, fled to ThunderClan temporarily to escape Tigerstar's rule in RiverClan. Both are prominent characters in The New Prophecy series, while Stormfur maintains a minor role in the Power of Three series. Feathertail was killed in Moonrise. His mate, Millie, gave birth to three kits of her own, Briarkit, Bumblekit, and Blossomkit in Eclipse. Since it has been revealed that Spottedleaf is of SkyClan descent, that makes Graystripe of SkyClan descent as well. Spottedleaf is the sister of Graystripe's mother Willowpelt, making Spottedleaf his aunt. Therefore, he is, by blood, related to Tigerstar, as well as Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt, Hawkfrost and Mothwing.
