User blog:Aswaldi/Pure Good Proposal: Firestar

'''Who is he? What has he done?''' Firestar was the leader of ThunderClan from the Warriors book series and the most well known character in the series. He was the main protagonist in The Prophecies Begin Arc and a secondary character in The New Prophecy Arc. He may be dead but his spirit can still communicate with the clans. He was the father of Squirrelflight and Leafpool. His partner was Sandstorm.

Admirable Qualities? Firestar was courageous, loyal, brave, and kind. He’s been said to have a big heart, and was compassionate towards those who needed help. He worked hard to become one of ThunderClan’s most trusted warriors. He has been shown as very protective and brave. As a leader, he is notably lenient and forgiving. For example, Leafpool's only punishment was resignation from her position as a medicine cat on her own initiative. He saved all of the clans in the book "The Darkest Hour" and made ThunderClan into a stronger clan again. He went on a journey which helped to bring back SkyClan which succeeded. He trusted Bramblestar and chose him as clan deputy.

Mitigating Factors? He sometimes broke the warrior code but often for understandable reasons. Fireheart had a firm sense of doing what was right, even if it went against the warrior code and his leader. Curiously he has very few flaws. He has been shown as short-tempered at times. Sometimes his forgivingness brings harm to the Clan. For example, he refused to exile Darkstripe despite multiple red flags about his connections to TigerClan. He only did so when he found out that Darkstripe poisoned Sorrelkit.
