History
Cinderkit had nightmares of her future she never told anyone. One day, in a dream, a pretty white she-cat appeared and pushed her into the Dark Forest. Cinderkit was an apprentice then. She was fully aware of this horrid place, but since she was the weakest kit, she trained there.

She was taught to not show mercy and kill. As a warrior, she killed multiple cats. The Dark Forest, though mainly Ivyshade, pushed her into taking over WindClan. There, she killed multiple cats in her invasion with a army of corrupted spirits.

Her mentor, Willowdapple, died in her claws. Snowdust, her main mentor, highly disapproved of this and stayed out of it. Finally, Scarnose and Foxstripe had Sorrelstar and Sleekrunner hostage. She ordered Ivyshade to kill both.

Cindershade then went to the Moonpool and received her lives, all from Dark Forest cats. She chose Mothnose as her deputy. After about 10 moons of leading, she called her sister over.

Explaining quietly what she was to do, Cinderstar quickly left and sat outside of camp in her favorite spot - by the lake.
With murmurs of prayer, she unsheathed her claws and cut her neck, killing herself.

At sunrise the next day, a patrol of cats- Sootspirit, Rosethorn, Hawkblossom and Dewstorm, all cats important to her, found her body. She was given a warrior's farewell. Cinderstar woke in StarClan.
