History
In the New Prophecy Arc
Moonrise
- Stoneteller introduces Star to the journeying cats as a kit-mother caring for her two kits. Stoneteller informs her that when her kits have grown, she will return to being a cave-guard. She is the first cat to greet the Clan cats when they arrive, and is friendly towards the forest cats, not hostile, unlike some other cats of the Tribe. When Sharptooth comes to terrorize the Tribe, he attacks her, and she tries to free herself, but is captured by him. Sharptooth is seen leaving with her in his mouth as the Clan cats sneak out of the cave.

- "Sharptooth's jaws were clamped around a Tribe cat; with a shudder of pure horror Feathertail recognized Star, the kit-mother who had spoken to them when they first arrived. Her mouth was open in a desperate wordless yowl, and her claws scored the earth floor as she fought vainly to free herself."
