Background
Lilyheart was born in Leafclan to Breezefur and Boulderstar. As a kit she noticed that her mother was harder on her brother Redkit [later Redstar] than she was on Lilyheart and her sister, Heatherkit [later Heathermist], Lilyheart wanted to defend her brother when their mother got mad at him but she didn't dare defy her mother. When apprenticed Lilyheart met a Stormclan apprentice named Spottedpaw [later Spottedhawk] at first she thought he was just arrogant and full of himself but over time she began to grow quite fond of the Stormclan cat. They started meeting with each other in secret and soon they had a litter of kits, Shrewkit [later Shrewstar], Bramblekit [later Brambleheart], Eaglekit [later Eagleclaw], and Snakekit [later Snaketail].

Lilyheart never told anyone her kit's father was Spottedhawk, she knew she and her kits would be in danger if she did. Lilyheart continued to meet with Spottedhawk when her kits were younger and the two cats decided to run away from the clans with their kits. The night Lilyheart was supposed to leave with Spottedhawk she was confronted by her brother, Redstar, he said that if she left he would find her eventually and he would kill her kits. Determined to protect her kits Lilyheart agreed to stay in Leafclan and to stop seeing Spottedhawk.

That night Lilyheart went to Spottedhawk and told him she had changed her mind and that her clan needed her, Spottedhawk was heart broken but he respected Lilyheart's decision. Moons later when Redstar became leader and made Lilyheart his deputy she was shocked because she thought her brother hated her, what she didn't know was Redstar's evil intentions. During a battle with Stormclan Lilyheart spotted Brambleheart fighting with Spottedhawk and she heard Spottedhawk tell Brambleheart the truth. When Brambleheart confronted her about it Lilyheart had no choice but to tell her that Spottedhawk was her father, soon after she told her other kits.

They were furious at Lilyheart and she couldn't blame them. Days later Lilyheart went with her kits and Redstar on a moonhigh patrol, she and Redstar split off from Shrewstar, Brambleheart, Eagleclaw, and Snaketail. As they walked Redstar suddenly attacked Lilyheart and killed her. After Redstar was later killed by Brambleheart and he went to the Dark Forest he and Lilyheart met at the border between the Dark Forest and Starclan. Lilyheart asked Redstar why he hated her so much and Redstar told her it was because she never defended Redstar from their mother.

Lilyheart was filled with guilt, she knew she should have defended her brother but she had been too afraid. Many moons later when Brambleheart was banished from Leafclan Lilyheart visited Shrewstar in a dream and told him what Redstar had done and told him why Brambleheart had killed him. Lilyheart served her clan loyally even after death and spent her days in Starclan with Spottedhawk.
