Lizardstripe

Lizardstripe

Lizarstripe is a light brown tabby and white she-cat with a narrow face and amber eyes. Rock mentions Lizardstripe when he is talking about Brokenstar. He tells the kits how Lizardstripe was asked to nurse Brokenkit, who was supposedly motherless, and Lizardstripe reluctantly agreed to take him in, but she never hesitated to make Brokenkit feel unwelcome, as he was the only kit who wasn't her own. Because of this mistreatment from such a young age, when he becomes a warrior, Brokentail sees aggressiveness as the only way to gain his Clanmates' respect, leading to him killing his father Raggedstar. It is also mentioned that she is very ambitious and Brokenkit may have learned to be a cruel leader from her.
 * Secrets of the Clans
 * Lizardstripe is seen as a Shadowclan Queen. She is nursing her own kits in the ShadowClan nursery at the time when Yellowfang gives birth to Brokenkit. She is the only nursing queen at the time, so Raggedstar asks her to take care of Brokenkit, because Yellowfang can't care for him herself. Lizardstripe is shown to be bad-tempered and mean, sneering and calling the kit an unwanted lump of fur. Raggedstar snarls at her that she should be honored to have the chance to nurse the Clan leader’s son, and Lizardstripe unwillingly agrees, letting Raggedstar set Brokenkit beside her.
 * It is said that Brokenstar's bad temper, ambition, and tendency to fight to settle problems is inherited from Lizardstripe. Several moons after Lizardstripe receives Brokenstar, she dies of greencough.

Fading Echoes

When Jayfeather enters Yellowfang's memories about Brokenstar during their visit to the Dark Forest, Lizardstripe is seen nipping, hissing, growling, and depriving him of milk to show she doesn't want the kit and hates him. This shows that when Brokenkit grew up he learned to hate and want revenge towards almost everyone.
