Daisytail

"I stood up for my Clanmates once so that I could protect their future. I led the queens against a leader who believed kits should be trained before they were six moons. There comes a time when we must stand and fight."

History

In the Omen of the Stars Arc

Night Whispers

Daisytail is seen by Jayfeather when he is walking in Kestrelflight's dream. She is there to help Barkface convince Kestrelflight that the Clans must break all ties. She tells him about the time when she led the queens against the leaders to protect the kits who were too young to fight. She states that the Clans must stand alone, and that WindClan's previous leader, Tallstar, was blinded by his friendship with other Clans. She warns Kestrelflight not to tell the other medicine cats about what he had been told, and Barkface states that betrayal could come from anywhere. She is last seen scenting the air, possibly smelling Jayfeather or something else.

In the Field Guide Arc

Code of the Clans

Daisytail is an ancient WindClan queen.

She is first seen watching her three-moon old kit, Specklepaw, train. She knows he is not old enough to even take on Adderpaw, a much older WindClan apprentice, who even purposely lets Specklepaw win, and fears for his safety in a real battle. She purrs at his accomplishment, and calls him her little nutkin. With more fears of what ShadowClan may do to him, Daisytail speaks to a fellow queen, Hawkfoot. She asks her if she'd let her kits go into battle, knowing that they'd face blood-thirsty ShadowClan warriors. Hawkfoot eventually understands and agrees with her, as her kits are too young. They plan to speak their real fears before the leaders get a chance to yowl, "Attack!".

When WindClan is just about to attack ShadowClan, Daisytail and Hawkfoot leap out and move between them. Oakleaf of ShadowClan joins them, along with some other queens, and Daisytail explains that their kits are too young to fight, and too young to be treated as warriors. Blizzardstar and Hazelstar exchange glances and let Daisytail speak her mind. She studies the apprentices, judging them on their size and age, then finally announces a new law to the warrior code - that a kit must be six moons old before it is apprenticed, leading to the fifth law in the warrior code. Hazelstar agrees, saying it will be unwise to lose the future of their Clan. The ShadowClan leader, Blizzardstar also agrees to this new law and leaves, ending any possible fighting at the moment.

As the battle is called off, Daisytail sees Specklepaw duck behind Adderpaw, embarrassed and frusterated. She silently promises him that he will have many more chances to fight, but only when he is ready. She comments that he is her "little warrior."

Quotes

"There's going to be another battle with ShadowClan. I can't let Specklepaw fight, I just can't!"

―Daisytail to Hawkfoot ^{Code of the Clans}

Hazelstar: "What are you saying? That we should never fight again? Do you really think that is how the Clans could live?"

Daisytail: "No. I know battle is part of our life. It's what warriors train for. But they should only be asked to fight when they are old enough to stand a chance of winning. What is the point training kits so young that they'll be lost in their first conflict?"

^{Code of the Clans}

"There will be other battles, my little warrior. But not yet. Not until you are ready."
