Leaders
Springstar
Springstar was the first leader of DuskClan to ever be documented in stories told to kits. She became leader at the beginning of the Seventh Generation, and was leader all the way until the Tenth, when her great-grandkits were born. When she became leader, she chose the loyal Smallfeather to be her deputy, who served under Spingstar her whole reign. While in power, Springstar accomplished many great feats such as:
- Made allies with the Mercenaries
- Made DuskClan strong with many allies
- Kept peace over the Clan for many moons
Sadly, on her last life, Springstar was captured by Twolegs, along with Smallfeather, and died. She was beloved by all her clan members, and all were sad to see her go.

"Oh how I miss you. You were a great leader." ~ParrtyRockkin (Spottedheart's Bio)
"You were my leader, and I wish you rest in peace" ~mevsyouvsthem9 (Darkriver's Bio)
"Springstar. What can I say really? You were the best leader and I mourn you everyday. It was an honor to be your deputy and one day, I promise I will bury you where you belong." ~etis (Smallfeather's Bio)
Owlstar
Though technically not a leader, Owlstar played a large role in the leadership of DuskClan. He became leader after Springstar for a short while, taking command of the confused clan. He was courageous, for he was blind and not very popular in the clan to try and control it, for without a leader DuskClan would have fell to pieces. When he became leader, he made Brightpaw into Brightsoul, then into his deputy. Brightsoul was loyal and skilled, though some thought too inexperienced to be deputy. As leader, Owlstar did not accomplish much due to his short term, but there is some he did:
- Pulled together the scrambled DuskClan
- Set aside his disability of being blind, making him a role model
- Tried his best to make sure there were loyal cats in the clan
Most of the Clan though distrusted and hated Owlstar, thus starting their own uprising. Owlstar was killed during this, as it turned out he only had one life, for StarClan never made him leader.
Words on Owlstar:"I understand why you stepped down. The Clan was falling apart under your paws. I don`t understand why they all hate you so much. Even if you are mates Coalclaw, I will love and respect you forever. Rest in peace." ~SummerGlade (Summersong's Bio)
"Call yourself a leader? That's a huge lie! I'm surprised StarClan didn't reject you as soon as you stepped foot on your journey to the Moonstone. I abolutely hate you. If I see you in StarClan, it won't be pretty." ~ParrtyRockkin (Spottedheart's Bio)
"I don't know what to think of you. You lied about being leader, made and inexperienced warrior deputy, and exiled one of our most loyal clan mates. But you tried to do what you thought best for the Clan, so I can't blame you" ~mevsyouvsthem9 (Darkriver's Bio [Removed])
Darkstar
Darkstar was the third documented leader of DuskClan, and arguably the best. As a young one, Darkstar was aggressive, untrusting, and a great swimmer, a stereotypical DuskClan warrior. But as he grew up, he mellowed out, and became wise and skilled. After Owlstar died, the clan chose Darkstar, then Darkriver, as leader. After receiving his nine lives, Darkstar made Thrushwing his deputy, a young and loyal warrior. After a some moons though, Thrushwing became too out-of-hand, and Darkstar had to demote her. He then made Thrushwing's daughter, Lilyshine deputy, young but wise. Darkstar accomplished many things in his leadership, such as:
- Kept the Clan alive after all the others died
- Lead the clan into a time of peace
- Made the Clan more skilled then before
After many years, Smallfeather finally came back, escaping the twolegs which captured her. Graciously stepping down, the now Darkriver enjoyed life as an elder, happy to see his clan healthy. One day while taking a walk, a rogue by the name of Silent pushed him off a near by cliff, killing the ancient elder.
Words on Darkstar:"You were the cat I originally met when I came to join DC. You trusted me to stay in your camp to await the approval of your leader. But now you`re the leader, and I`m sure you will be an amazing one at that." ~SummerGlade (Summersong's Bio)
"As my friends mentor, you were very mean to her and the rage inside of me just built up to where I couldn't stand you anymore. Now you have calmed down and you're a nice tom. Whenever that rogue attacked, I really wanted to help but I was bearing kits. When the rogue threatened me, you told me to go to LeafClan and stood in front of me so he wouldn't attack. I was confused at the time and if you didn't tell me to go to LeafClan, my kits and I might have died. I got help for you and I don't know your status as of now but I really hope you're okay. Thank you so much. You saved me and my kits lives. You are a great leader. I am glad I came back" ~ParrtyRockkin (Spottedheart's Bio)
"I know you've been through a lot, but I'll watch out for you, and be there to greet you when you come to StarClan." ~thrushtail (Thrushtail's Bio)
"You're an amazing leader. Lets keep it that way." ~bloodscar (Falconkit/paw/Wing's Bio)
"sigh- I love you and always will, I have watched you grow into the great leader you are." ~spiritsong (Spiritsong's Bio)
"you are very wise and helpful. I will always be in your debt for ultimately saving my life by bringing me to the clan. I hope you visit me more." ~houroftwilight123 (Skypaw's Bio)
"You are a great leader. You will defiantely be down in history when you pass away. The elders of each
generation will always tell stories about chu. And I am proud to be in the clan with you
leading. I am so sorry what Spirit has done to you. And knowing about your past love-life I don't know how I could bare to be in your position at the time. But now you have a new mate and I hope she treats you well." ~beth22222 (Lilyshine's Bio)
"I loved playing you in kit games, and you are my grandpa, so I obviously like you and respect you :3" ~houroftwilight123 (Frostwind's Bio)
"Dark, I respect you so much. You're such a strong, confident figure and I consider you a good friend. Take good care of the Clan untill I return" ~etis (Smallfeather's Bio)
Smallstar
Also not in leadership for long, there is not much to say on Smallstar. Shortly after she rejoined the Clan and became leader, she mysteriously died, never to be heard of again. The clan mourned though, for she was a beloved deputy before she was captured, and the Clan was sad to see her leadership come to an end so quickly.
Words on Smallstar:"Have fun leader the clan, and of course taking care of me" ~mevsyouvsthem9 (Darkriver's Bio)
"Wherever you are, come back! I need you. Darkstar is a great leader, however we should follow the warrior code and have you leader asap. I really hope you aren't dead, I'd like to say goodbye." ~ParrtyRockkin (Spottedheart's Bio)
"You will make a fine leader and I trust that you will lead DuskClan back to greatness." ~EmeraldDreams (Springstar's Bio)
Thornstar
Similar to Smallstar, Thornstar was not in leadership for long, and not much is known about him. He was leader for around a moon and then disappeared. It was said he was like a young warrior by the name of ThornNight though, scatter-brained and silly.
Words on Thornstar:"I dont know where you went, but I am happy that you arent my leader anymore" ~mevsyouvsthem9 (Darkpaw's Bio)
"I dont seem to understand why the previous leader chose you as deputy. Your obnoxious and dont really take things seriously, but I respect you because you are our leader." ~SummerGlade (Bumblepaw's Bio)
Lilystar
Formerly Lilyshine, the old deputy finally became leader when no other eligible warrior was available. But sadly, when Lilystar became leader, the clan died. As disease had been spreading around, killing off the Clan's since Springstar's time, had finally reached DuskClan. Lilystar died with the rest of her clan before her reign could begin.
Words on Lilystar: "I am happy you became leader, and proud that you are my mentor. I think you are really great, but I can only really trust you until you have a deputy. But I dont know who you could pick, so I guess Ill give you time" ~mevsyouvsthem9 (Darkpaw's Bio)
"I haven't really talked to you much but you seem like a great cat. And your leader so that's gotta mean something. I am very thankful that you allowed me in the clan" ~houroftwilight123 (Skypaw's Bio)
"You are my leader, but I'm not sure I am faithful in you. You hate me. When you snap at me, I snap back. I try to be nice, I try to impress you, I try to be the cat you want me to be, but there's just no pleasing you, is there? I don't give second chances, either." ~Phantompaw (Frozenpaw's Bio)
Onestar
Joining the clan as a rogue, Onestar quickly rose to power as her loyality and skill was shown. Making the grandson of Darkstar, Darknight her deputy, Onestar is slowly bringing back DuskClan.
