Background
Redstar was born in Leafclan to Breezefur and Boulderstar. When he was a kit his mother was always harder on him then she was on his sisters, Lilykit [later Lilyheart] and Heatherkit [later Heathermist]. When apprenticed Redstar believed he could do nothing to make his mother proud and he hated that Lilyheart was always better at hunting and fighting than him. One night Redstar was visited by a gray tom in his dream by the name of Stormstar.

Stormstar said he could make Redstar a better warrior than anyone including Lilyheart. Redstar couldn't see past Stormstar's evil intentions and just saw a way to make his mother proud and to get out of his sister's shadow so he agreed to train with Stormstar and his Dark Forest clanmates. Though Redstar did his best it was never enough to make Breezefur proud and this made him angry and bitter. During a battle with Mountainclan Breezefur was killed, Redstar was angry because this meant he would never get a chance to prove himself to his mother. After his mother's death Redstar just got angrier and angrier, he began to think that the only way he could become better than Lilyheart was by becoming a better warrior than she could ever dream of being.

And so Redstar killed the Leafclan deputy at the time, Gorsehare, and pinned his death on a Mountainclan patrol. After that Boulderstar made Redstar deputy. Soon after Redstar found out his sister was having a half-clan relationship with a Stormclan warrior named Spottedhawk, he would keep a close eye on them and when he found out that Lilyheart was having Spottedhawk's kits and that Lilyheart was planning to leave with Spottedhawk Redstar threatened Lilyheart to stay in the clan, saying that he would find her eventually and when he did he would kill her kits. Lilyheart agreed to stay to protect her kits and told Spottedhawk she wasn't going with him.

Redstar really just did this to make his sister's life miserable and when her kits were older Redstar saw them sneak out of camp with Spottedpelt's kits, Sunkit [later Sunstripe] and Leafkit [later Leaffly], so he followed them. When he saw Lilyheart's daughter, Bramblekit [later Brambleheart] standing on the edge of the river he pushed her in hoping the small kit would drown in the river. Luckily a Stormclan warrior by the name of Ashpelt saved Brambleheart. Lilyheart knew it was Redstar who pushed her daughter into the river despite Brambleheart or any of the other kits not seeing another cat there, she confronted Redstar about it and Redstar denied everything.

When Boulderstar died Redstar became leader and he made Lilyheart his deputy, he had planned to kill Lilyheart all along he just made her deputy so he could keep an eye on her. Moons later Redstar overheard Lilyheart tell her kits the truth, that Spottedhawk was their father and he decided to use this against her as well. He took Lilyheart along with her kits on a moonhigh patrol, he and Lilyheart split from Shrewtalon [later Shrewstar], Brambleheart, Eagleclaw, and Snaketail and while alone Redstar attacked Lilyheart and kill her. He also took one of his own lives to make it look like they had just been attacked by a Cloudclan patrol.

When Redstar found out that Brambleheart suspected it was him who killed Lilyheart he attacked her but Brambleheart managed to fight him off. He tried again to kill Brambleheart during a patrol but this time Sunstripe came and saved her by taking another of Redstar's lives. While recovering from losing a life Brambleheart took Redstar's last life and he died and went to the Dark Forest. Moons later Redstar visited Brambleheart in a dream and told her that if she didn't tell the clan what she did he would kill her kits.

Brambleheart agreed and was banished from Leafclan but Lilyheart visited Shrewstar in a dream and explained to him what really happened and Brambleheart was let back into the clan. Moons later Redstar recruited Frecklepaw [later Frecklestripe], Lichenpaw [later Lichenwind], and Ivypaw [later Ivystripe] to the Dark Forest after gaining control of the Dark Forest after killing Stormstar. He took Ivystripe on as his apprentice and convinced her to kill Shrewstar and Brambleheart. Though Redstar is dead he continues to try and destroy the clans from within themselves.
