ThunderClan is a group of cats that live in a part of the forest that is primarily deciduous woodland. Their founding leader, Thunderstar, got his name from how his mother, Storm, died in a storm of stone and dust, so by extension the name was thought to be given to the Clan.
ThunderClan is a mainly peaceful Clan, and respectful of the other Clans as well. In battle, ThunderClan is fierce, courageous, and loyal. They are known to often take loners and kittypets into their Clan to either swell their ranks or because the cat is in need of help or shelter, although this did not happen much until Firestar became leader of T...
In the forest territories
The ThunderClan forest territory is located in what Twolegs call the White Hart Woods. The territory also includes Twoleg places such as Windover Road and Chelford Forest. Landmarks in this territory include: •Camp - It lies at the foot of a sandy ravine, protected by thornbushes. The camp is easy to defend and hard to attack. This is also where the Clan lives and mainly functions. •Tallpines and Treecut Place - Pines near Twolegplace. Usually filled with Twoleg tree-eaters, the ground there rumbles and leaves deep gullies filled with muddy water. •The Great Sycamore - One of the largest trees with strong and thick branches. •The Owl Tree - A tree that serves home to a tawny owl, apprentices dare each other to climb its trunk here. •Sunningrocks - Rocks that absorb the sunshine and are a place of relaxation. Moons ago, it used to be an island belonging only to RiverClan, but when the river changed the current, ThunderClan wanted this territory, too. •Snakerocks - Home to venomous adders. The caves beneath the rocks can also be homes to other dangerous creatures. (For example, Tigerstar's dog pack.) •The sandy hollow - A training hollow with soft sand so apprentices don't harm themselves. •Twolegplace - The place where Twolegs live. This place is avoided at all costs, but useful catmint can be found here.
In the lake territories
The lake territory for ThunderClan is called the Hare Hill Woods by Twolegs. Twoleg landmarks nearby include the Hareview Campsite, Abandoned Workman's House, Quarry Road, and the Quarry. Landmarks here include: •Camp - The ThunderClan camp is well protected by the side of a cliff, and surrounded by a thorn barrier. •Greenleaf Twolegplace - This part of land was given to ShadowClan until ThunderClan fought for it back. •An abandoned Twoleg nest - Herbs and prey thrive here, though it is said to have an ominous aura inside. •Ancient Oak- An ancient oak where many animals call home. Squirrels nest in the branches, and it also has an old rabbit burrow, indicating rabbits. This large oak tree is also used by ThunderClan apprentices to practice their climbing skills. •Old Thunderpath - Marked with blue Twoleg markers, cats often stay away from this road. •The clearing - A training hollow much like the old sandy hollow in the forest territory. •Lake shore - ThunderClan has the north-eastern portion of the lake.
Thunderstar
Thunderstar's reign is the start of ThunderClan's era. His deputies were Lightning Tail and Owl Eyes, and his medicine cat was Cloud Spots. Thunder creates his group initially to live in the forest but separate from his father, Clear Sky, as Clear Sky's rule for him was much too demanding. Several cats follow him, including his best friend, Lightning Tail. He proves himself to be a strong and worthy leader, but never stops to help the other groups. When his foster father, Gray Wing, decides that "groups" are not an accurate term to describe each category of cats living in the forest, and instead replaces it with "Clans", so Silver Stripe renames Thunder's group to ThunderClan. During Thunder's rule as leader, tensions heighten between ThunderClan and SkyClan, due to Clear Sky's unwillingness to negotiate peacefully with other Clans, leading to an all out battle against WindClan. Although Thunder is much aware of his father's reckless actions leading to hostilities between the Clans, he is unable to come to terms with Skystar. Moons later, Thunder receives his nine lives and his new name, Thunderstar, signaling him as an official Clan leader. Lightning Tail is his deputy, and together, they lead ThunderClan into prosperity. At one point, dogs invade ThunderClan's camp, and Thunderstar fights them off, alongside Lightning Tail. However, they both fall victim to the dogs, with Thunderstar losing one life, and Lightning Tail his only. Thunderstar appoints Owl Eyes as his next deputy. Much respected for being the founder and the first leader of ThunderClan, Thunderstar is still remembered as a compassionate and courageous leader.
Redstar
Redstar was an ancient leader of ThunderClan, some time after Thunderstar, and his deputy was Seedpelt. He is one of the leaders responsible for driving out Cloudstar and ancient SkyClan. Redstar accepts Birdflight and her young kits, Spottedkit and Gorsekit, at Kestrelwing's urging. After his death, Redstar came to the realization that what he and the other leaders did was wrong, and he learned from the mistakes of his past. To atone for this, Redstar takes part in Leafdapple's leader ceremony, and gives her one of her nine lives. His life was that of wisdom, and Redstar wishes the new leader of SkyClan well, not wanting the new Clan to have the same fate as its predecessor.
Oakstar
Oakstar is the leader of ThunderClan before Doestar. His deputies were Beetail and Doefeather, and his medicine cats were Ravenwing and Cloudberry. Oakstar was a wise and honored leader. He fought in many battles for Sunningrocks, and guarded his borders vigilantly. He led his Clan during the time of Mapleshade's three murders. Oakstar's son, Birchface, drowns in a battle for Sunningrocks along with his apprentice, Flowerpaw. Oakstar believes Appledusk, a RiverClan cat and Mapleshade's former mate, to be responsible. When the Clan discovers that Mapleshade's kits are half-Clan, he makes the decision to banish her and her kits from ThunderClan. Later, Mapleshade returns and indirectly kills his daughter, Frecklewish, by tricking her into getting bitten by a snake. During Pinepaw's apprenticeship, Oakstar praises his son often and cares for him deeply, along with his mate and Pinepaw's mother, Sweetbriar. He gives his son his warrior name, Pineheart. After the death of Beetail, Oakstar makes Doefeather his deputy, and she becomes leader after him.

"Welcome to ThunderClan—the Clan of courage and loyalty. I was not a forest-born cat, but ThunderClan welcomed me, and once I proved myself as a warrior, they grew to respect me. I have risen to become their leader and I would lay down all my nine lives for my Clan, just as my Clanmates would lay down their lives for me and for each other. There is no Clan in the forest so true or so brave. I respect and admire the other Clans, but my heart is here, with ThunderClan- the Clan of heroes, the Clan of compassion, the Clan of destiny."
―Firestar on ThunderClan Secrets of the Clans, page 9
