"Our elders, and our elders' kin, and their kin before them, fought to keep Sunningrocks in our territory. Many of them lost their lives, giving up their last breath for the stones that belong to us. Can we give up where they did not, turn tail and flee when they kept fighting so that their kits could hunt and play and bask on these rocks? Will you fight with me now, in honor of all our elders and unborn kits?" |
— Darkstar to her Clan about Sunningrocks in Code of the Clans, page 33 |
Darkstar is a small brown she-cat.[1]

In the Field Guides[]
Code of the Clans[]
- "It is only lost when we stop fighting!"
- ―Darkstar talking about the battle between RiverClan and ThunderClan Code of the Clans, page 34
- Enraged by the behavior of the ThunderClan cats, the RiverClan leader orders her Clan to attack once more. When they protest, saying the battle is already lost, she replies that it is only lost when they stop fighting. She then speaks of their elders, and how they fought and died so that their Clan and kits could hunt and play and bask on Sunningrocks, and that they must keep fighting to honor them. Then, a tabby springs at Darkstar, but she sidesteps, spins around, and sinks her claws into the cat's back, making him crash to the ground. The battle is over after that.
- After the battle, in which the RiverClan cats win, Darkstar summons her warriors to the center of the summit, and announces that they will take home prey to their youngest and eldest cats of the Clan, saying that this victory is for them, to the surprise of many cats. This leads to the third law of the warrior code: that kits and elders are to be fed before everyone else.
