Bluestar, ThunderClan leader before Redstar.
In canon, Bluestar is almost killed by Tigerclaw, leading her to grow in distrust towards her Clan and StarClan. Ultimately she dies saving Fireheart from the dog pack.
In the Boon AU, Tigerclaw is exiled much earlier after his attempt on Redtail's life. Bluestar dealt with this better than in canon, as it wasn't her own life that was threatened. However as time went on, she and Redtail butted heads more and more often over how best to lead the Clan, and her sense of distrust towards the Clan grew as trauma from her youth resurfaced. She was also faced with resistance from Darkstripe and Longtail, who became thorns in her side after she exiled their friend Tigerclaw. She came to resent Redtail and distrust Tinyfrost, who was his strongest supporter.
She refused to give Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw their warrior names, same with Swiftpaw Brightpaw and the rest. When Redtail finally asked Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw to just go ahead and join the warriors den without their names, Swiftpaw felt like he and the others had to do something drastic in order to prove they could be trusted - so he and Brightpaw went to try and find the dogs. As a result, Brightpaw and Swiftpaw were both mauled, and Swiftpaw died, same as canon. When Bluestar gave Brightpaw the name Lostface, that prompted the biggest fight with Redtail that they'd had yet. Tinyfrost, seeing this, decided to take matters into his own paws. Redtail would be a better leader, and Tinyfrost was willing to do what it took to make that happen.
Bluestar was lured to the river by Tinyfrost, where he attacked and killed her. He then lead the dog pack to the river, so they could maul her body and he could stage it like they killed her. In Tinyfrost's mind, he was doing this for the good of the Clan, and removing a leader who had become tyrannical. When Redstar later found out the truth of Bluestar's murder, he was horrified.
When Boon came to StarClan, Bluestar had been one of the cats watching his progress with FireClan, as she remembered him from his days of watching the forest from his fence. She was glad to see how far he had come.
