Names: Shoe [kittypet], Tinypaw, Tinyclaw, Tinystar

Shoe began life as a kittypet, living in comfort but dreaming of the world beyond his fence. After encountering Graypaw, a warrior apprentice, in the woods, Shoe was given the opportunity to join the Clans - he was soon renamed Tinypaw, and the rest is history!

Tinystar isn't a cat to be underestimated - his small stature easily disguises his tremendous fighting abilities, which were honed to a fine point by his mentor Bluefur, who later became the villainous Bluestar. He also has a temper that is famous even outside of ThunderClan, and stories are often told of his powerful outbursts from elder to kit.

Tinystar is also famous (in ThunderClan, at least) for his love for his mate, Sandstorm. It is often joked by the warriors that Tinystar might be Clan leader, but when it came down to it, Sandstorm is his leader. He loves her, and their kits, unconditionally and unabashedly.

Trivia: The name "Shoe" is a reference to Shoe the cat from Phoenix Wright: Justice For All. It's also a clue as to how small Tinystar is - so small that he could probably fit in your shoe!
