Silverpelt and Starclan

Silverpelt was how the cats describe the sky, the universe and the stars. Up in silverpelt where two clans, Darkforest and Starclan. When a clan cat dies it's soul goes to starclan, where it may hunt in peace for moons to come. Darkforest was introduce later in the series. This is a place where cats of the dark side, of murder and evil go. It is a place which haunts the dreams of young kits and lonely elders.

BrambleClaw

As said before, Brambleclaw is the son of Tigerstar and now leader of Thunderclan. While his apprentice life was rough, his sister (Tawnypaw) could not bare the insults and shame her clan threw at her. She fled for Shadowclan, looking for help and comfort. But Bramblepaw stayed true to his clan, and even in a time where the grass looked greener on the other side of the fence, he buckled down and fought for his mother and clan. One of my favorite moments is when Bramblepaw made the decision of which everyone knew was to come, whether to join his evil father or fight to the death for his clan and loyalty. Firestar was unsure of his decision, and when he chose to fight his father instead, you could imagine the surprise on the thunderclan leader's face. In the second series Brambleclaw was put to the test in a Journey to sun-drowned place in search of a new home. While on this journey he fell in love with Squirrelpaw,  a thunderclan apprentice and the daughter of Firestar. In the later books he proved himself noble and loyal and became deputy of thunderclan.

Firepaw and Spottedleaf~Together for Ever (Spoilers)

In the first novel, Spottedleaf was murdered by the Shadowclan warrior Clawface in an attempt to spread fear through the hearts of thunderclan cats. Firepaw was depressed after her death, and almost killed Clawface in the final chapters, but let him escape with his rogue-led life. After reading this I decided Spottedleaf and Firepaw were in a romance together. Mainly Firepaw, his desperate struggle to control his feelings wasn't apparent, but was defiantly revealed in Twilight when Spottedleaf revealed she had feelings for Firestar. But now that Firestar has put his past behind him and found new life with Sandstorm, has Spottedleaf taken offence? Will she plot revenge on this innocent she-cat? Most likely not, but with all the drama and relationships tangled in with this series, its very hard to say for sure.
