Clouds

 * She is first seen by Rainpaw whispering in the center of the camp with her brother, Shade. Strike asks for the leader's den, and Rainpaw flicks his tail fearfully towards Ashstar's den. Strike leaves him fear-struck in the camp when she leaves to talk with the leader.


 * Strike is next seen finishing a conversation with the ShadowClan leader, Ashstar. She says that they won't be in ShadowClan by the next full moon, and the leader allows them to stay in ShadowClan. When they leave Ashstar's den, Shade teases her, saying she is getting worked up, which causes her to lose her short temper. After getting Shade to keep quiet and leave, she is ready to set a plan into action.


 * During the Clan meeting, she and her brother Shade are announced as warriors of ShadowClan. Rainpaw notices how she could have been acting like she was tough so she wouldn't get a weakling's introduction to the Clan, because now she is acting like a brand-new apprentice, until Rainpaw feels her gaze on him.


 * Strike and Shade are whispering in the night. Rainpaw eavesdrops on them, and lets Strike know of this the following morning, when they are put together on a dawn patrol, which Strike resents. When Rainpaw says Shade wants to take over ShadowClan, Strike is stunned for a moment. She then asks Rainpaw to observe Shade and tell her about whatever suggests he will attempt to take over the Clans immediately.


 * After pulling away from the group, she brings an eavesdropping Rainpaw into the bushes. She tells him about the new future she has in mind for the Clans, and makes the apprentice promise to get cats to join them as they bring about a different destiny for the Clans.
