Why Ripplestar mother like that? Like, I doubt that's something normal to say to a child; is she the reason he ended up in the dark forest? Also who is Ripplestar?

Ripplestar is a character from code of the clans, and the reason there is a truce during gatherings because he attacked all of the clans at once, he dies later that battle to a lightning strike sent by starclan.

Now in my own rewrite, Ripplestar used to be from Thunderclan, and his whole life was compared to his ancestor Thunder by his mother, and everyone around him. His mother hated him for the cat he wasn't. The new leader, Finchstar named him Ripplestorm as a reference to Thunder, and that was the last straw. He moves to Shadowclan and quickly rises in the ranks due to his skills and ambitions. The animation takes place during his first gathering as a leader, where his mother confronts him on his life.

Over time, Starclan continues to send signs and prophecies to Ripplestar, nightmares of thunderstorms. Ripplestar finally has enough, and wants to take revenge of Starclan, and attacks all of the clans at once, Thunder, his ancestor, sends the bolt of lightning that takes away eight of his lives, and in desperation, he clings to the great rock to try and save himself, but due to half his body being dead weight, he can't support himself and accidentally declaws himself and plummets to his demise.

Ripplestar becomes the oldest spirit in the dark forest, kept alive through the code that Finchstar created many moons ago.
