If Crowpool was like water - calm, deep, reflecting the stars - then Brambleclaw was like fire. She had enough energy to scorch every tree in the forest, and a tongue that could leave scars in beech bark. She was passionately loyal to her Clan and incapable of doing anything but what she believed to be right - including taking on her sister's kits and making their Clanmates believe they were Brambleclaw's own.
Bramblepaw was still an apprentice when she insisted on joining Squirrelflight on the quest to sun-drown-place, following the message from Starclan that they must "listen to what midnight tells you." Midnight turned out to be a wise, old badger who steered the cats toward their new home by the lake. Bramblepaw proved herself to be a brave, feisty companion to the other cats on the quest, demonstrating the courage of her father, Sandstar, and the fiery determination of her mother, Fireheart. On the journey, she grew closer to Squirrelflight and began to see a special appeal in the Thunderclan tom.
Once the Clans had settled by the lake, Ashfur fell in love with Brambleclaw, noticing something behind the mischief and the fire, when Squirrelflight saw only a quarrelsome nuisance. But Ashfur failed to appreciate the strength beneath her impulsive ways. Brambleclaw needed someone to match her fire, not contain it, and that cat was always going to be Squirrelflight.
Brambleclaw watched Squirrelflight raised Cinderheart, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather as his own, a fair and devoted father. When the truth came out that the kits were Crowpool's, Squirrelflight couldn't forgive Brambleclaw for lying to him. Brambleclaw accepted his anger as her punishment. But she never stopped being unwaveringly loyal to her Clan and fought like a lion in the battle against the Dark Forest. When Squirrelflight became leader after Sandstar's death, there was only one cat he could choose to be his deputy: Brambleclaw, his former mate, the cat he knew he could trust to his very last breath. Working side by side as leader and deputy, Brambleclaw and Squirrelstar eventually came to love each other once again and raised two kits of their own, Alderheart and Larksong. Their relationship was always tempestuous as Brambleclaw was likely to do what she thought was right rather than what her leader ordered.
When Squirrelstar seemed to lose a life and was revived with a drastically changed personality, she learned that an imposter was controlling his body. Fighting the imposter, she was exiled from Thunderclan, only to return as acting leader when the imposter was exposed. Brambleclaw identified the imposter as the spirit of Ashfur, who had never given up her obsession with her. Ashfur kidnapped her and took her to the Place of No Stars, but she continued to fight her even there and managed to escape and to bring the real Squirrelstar through to the living world again. No matter what obstacles she has faced, Brambleclaw has always fought fiercely for her Clan and for those she loves.
