Two of these kits die prematurely, one death is unknown but is described to be breathing poorly, and the other comes out a stillborn, while her only son remains healthy and alive besides being born with a broken tail, hence the name “Brokenkit”. Yellowfang inevitably chooses a foster mother, Lizardstripe, for her only surviving child. He is teased by his littermates with names and insults and his foster mother is shown to be malevolent and mean-spirited toward him, further continuing to be neglectful toward her adopted son. He is later given a mentor who he is shown to disobey, he continues this hyper-aggressive behavior by instigating physical altercations with others, despite being not entirely trained and showing little self-restraint he is given his warrior name, a right of passage for cats within the clans, early. As time passes the prior deputy of Shadowclan, Cloudpelt, is killed in battle and Brokentail is appointed to his position by his biological father, Raggedpelt, who had become Raggedstar, the then curent leader of Shadowclan. As Brokentail's reign begins Yellowfang proves their son's evil spirit to Raggedstar; before something can be put to action about this behavior Brokentail murders his father in cold blood and takes his place as leader, dawning the name Brokenstar. Brokenstar would later appoint a deputy under circumstances that break the warrior code, another Hippocratic Oath-esc code that warriors of this universe must take before they dawn their names, this deputy is Blackfoot, who has never mentored an apprentice and is thus not deemed fit by the code for deputy. Within this book he later goes on to announce his clan will train for only battle, deeming hunting as unimportant, he follows this by then appointing kits too young to train for strenuous drilling and banishing elder cats from the clan including his biological mother, Yellowfang.
