Gleamstar (Also known as Starstar) is the protagonist of Starkit's Prophecy and is considered one of the biggest Mary Sues in fanfiction, probably because she breaks practically all laws of canon and genetics including her purple fur.
Appearance
Gleamstar is a sparkling, [1] purple she-cat with molten orange eyes, [2] long claws, [3] and a perfect white star on her forehead. [4]
History
Starkit was born to Jayfeather and Dawnsparkle. She is later apprenticed to Firestar and becomes a warrior in 3.14 days with the name Stargleam (though sometimes is called Starkit and Starpaw in the narration).
Stargleam dies while trying to defeat Tigerstar but is sent back to the Clans by StarClan with The Ten Commandments. Stargleam delivers the Commandments to the Clans at the gathering and Firestar is so intimidated by her charisma that he decides to leave ThunderClan and let her be leader instead, despite Brambleclaw being deputy.
Stargleam is given nine lives and renamed Gleamstar by Thunderstar, which Tallstar says was the first leader of Thunderclan, then called LionClan. She did not want her name to be Starstar, since she thought it was stupid (like this story.) She later was killed while getting married to Hawkfrost, even though she should've still had eight remaining lives.
She is reincarnated as Starkit. It is mentioned many times that Starkit dislikes the prospect of being gay, but she learns to overcome her discriminatory behavior and later becomes mates with Jazzstar. Starkit has kits with Jazzstar and, when the Dark Forest attack, sacrifices herself to save ThunderClan.
Love Interests
Gleamstar's first love interests were Firestar, Graystripe, and Blackstar. In the beginning, she is pressured by both Graystripe and Firestar to pick one of them, before Blackstar confesses his love for her as well, causing her to break down in tears. She then moves on to Hawkfrost, who she was engaged to before dying. Ashkit was a love interest for a short time before he was caught making out with Hawkfrost. In later chapters, when the author decided she was a lesbian, Jazzsong became Gleamstar's mate, even though being gay was established to be against the Ten Commandments. Later in death she married a dog named Jeff. Jeff is a Gary Stu from the series Survivors which is also written by Erin Hunter.
