I thought I'd provide some lore about the other Clan leaders in DaisyClan's world.

FireClan leader, Claystar

Claystar, formerly Claypelt is the oldest leader at 118 moons. He is well-respected, if feared, in his Clan and by the other Clans too. He's known to be articulate and intelligent but certainly grumpy and fiesty (like most FireClan cats are). Claystar received her famous scar when she was a warrior and was attacked, alone, by a patrol of rogues. He miraculously survived and his testimony led to FireClan, in collaboration with HavenClan, chasing the rogue group permanently from Clan territories. This incident inspired the then-leader to promote Claypelt to deputy when the position opened up. In her time as leader, Claystar had an on-and-off again relationship with one of his clanmates, which resulted in a daughter, Leafdapple, whom they raised together as co-parents. Leafdapple's death at the ire of a badger left the already-irritable Claystar a shell of his former self. She never quite recovered, though she is comforted by her grandchildren, one of which is FireClan's deputy, the very personable Plumstone.

HavenClan leader, Lakestar

Lakestar, formerly Lakeshimmer, is HavenClan's leader. HavenClan is the most religious of the five Clans and a lot more of their cats claim to receive visions or have contact with StarClan. Many moons ago, the former HavenClan leader, Thymestar, received a vision that the healer apprentice (then Lakepaw) would guide the Clan out of disaster. Lakepaw was pulled from healer duties and retrained as a warrior. When the deputy retired, Lakeshimmer was made deputy at only 24 moons. This was a very controversial decision not just in HavenClan but across Clans. However, Lakeshimmer eventully proved themself when it came to driving out the same rogue group that plagued FireClan. They had been friendly with many FireClanners, including Claypelt who had been brutally attacked, and was able to convince the often-tempestuous FireClan to work together to drive the rogues out, which was successful. This meant that when Thymestar died and Lakestar took over, the Clans at large were much more amenable to their leadership abilities. FireClan and HavenClan have a long-standing truce since their collaboration, and Lakestar and Claystar have long been good friends.

SnowyClan leader, Sealstar

Sealstar, formerly Sealspots, 90 moons (she/they), is SnowyClan's leader. SnowyClan live further up the nearby mountain range and have more luck with hunting in Leafbare than anyone due to their pale coats and unconventional hunting practices. SnowyClan suffered a plague from when Sealstar was a kit to an apprentice, and Sealstar has spent her whole leadership mending the emotional wounds that never quite healed in the wake of the sickness, which wiped out over half the of once-populous SnowyClan. Their numbers never quite recovered, but are now known to be very resilient (physically and mentally). This history led to Sealstar emphatising deeply with Sunstar and DaisyClan, and Sealstar made it their mission to have Sunstar feel welcomed and respected at Gatherings and when meeting at the border. The two Clans have become allies. SnowyClan is known to be quite isolated, and while Sealstar has tried to change this and make better connections with the other Clans, old habits die hard, and when political tensions arise, SnowyClan is more likely to stay out of it, afraid that they are still too weak to get involved with what might harm them.

RueClan leader, Blazingstar

Blazingstar, 75 moons, formerly Blazingbranch, was appointed as deputy at 32 moons, and became leader only six moons later when Horsestar, who was Blazingbranch's uncle and former mentor, lost his last life. Horsestar embodied the reputation of RueClan with his physical strength, battle prowess, and tough, charismatic and unforgiving nature. He was constantly pushing the borders of each Clan and when he received pushback, usually won in the end. He commanded a lot of upfront respect and a lot more behind-the-scenes criticism. His brightest spot as leader was back during SnowyClan's plague when RueClan was the only Clan willing to bring SnowyClan herbs and prey. It's suspected that RueClan's deputy-at-the time was the one to push for this movement.

Blazingstar desperately sought to live up to Horsestar's standards. He felt very proud of being the youngest leader in the history of the five Clans, as even HavenClan's leader Lakestar hadn't become leader until their 60th moon, despite being a young deputy. However, Blazingstar struggled to connect to StarClan and to command the same respect that Horsestar had. Then came the arrival of DaisyClan, whose leader was, when Blazingstar met her, a paltry 17 moons old, and yet seemed miles more mature than he and connected with StarClan. This meeting was the first crack in Blazingstar's psyche, as he became more and more convinced that the youth in RueClan were not living up to their potential, and that RueClan's fearsome reputation could be shown up by DaisyClan if he didn't make changes.
