BY: Dan Jolley, James L. Barry
When the Twolegs destroy the warrior Clans' forest home, Graystripe--second in command of ThunderClan--is captured while trying to help his comrades escape! However, Graystripe soon discovers that the captive life as a pampered kittypet isn't all that bad. The cozy Twoleg nest and his new, affectionate family help Graystripe put his Clan days behind him. Still, nothing compares to the life of a warrior! With a new kittypet ally, Millie, by his side, will Graystripe ever find his way back to the Clan?
Duke
An enormous black and white kittypet with a torn ear. He bests Graystripe in their first fight, but once Graystripe has Millie on his side, they make a good match.
Firestar
The leader of ThunderClan, Firestar is a handsome ginger tom. His vision of the destruction of the Clan lands by the Twolegs forces a change in the way the cat Clans work together, and he eventually leads the Clans to a new home. Though Graystripe was left behind, Firestar misses his old friend very much.
Millie
A neighboring kittypet who befriends Graystripe, and asks to learn the ways of the Warrior cats. But will she be willing to leave her comfortable life when the time comes? Millie is a brown tabby who starts off a little on the pudgy side, but quickly toughens up under Graystripe's tutelage.
Graystripe
Separated from the rest of ThunderClan by the Twolegs and their incursion into the forest, Graystripe has been taken in by a Twolegs family. His pride as a warrior of the Clan is very strong, but the life of a kittypet does have its charms. However, he is still haunted by his past and the responsibilities that wait for him back in the Clan lands. Proud and a fierce fighter, Graystripe has added wisdom to his list of characteristics since his first appearance in The Warriors series. His name comes from the darker stripe along his back.
Silverstream
A lovely, slender, silver female, Silverstream was Graystripe's star-crossed lover. A member of the rival RiverClan, Silverstream was killed before our story starts, but her spirit, now with StarClan still speaks to Graystripe occasionally to give him advice and guidance.
Erin Hunter - Creator
Property creator Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having a great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior, shaped by her interest in astrology and standing stones.

Mew! Hiss! Roowl!
I've always been interested in adapting a story to different media and formats. Whether it's a book to a movie, a comic to a movie, or in this case, a book to a comic, each new incarnation presents different problems and opportunities. So of course, I leaped at the chance to edit one of our first co-published projects with HarperCollins. And I have to say, it's been an adventure and a pleasure. The Warriors is one of the top children's series out there, chronicling the legend of several rival clans of cats and their struggle to survive on the fringes of human civilization. Over the course of the series, the characters age and grow, accept new responsibility and face serious obstacles and tragedy. Creating a manga that captures the spirit of these wonderful novels, but still adds something new to the world of Thunderclan was a real challenge.
Fortunately for me, my editorial counterpart at Harper is amazing and the rest of the creative team is top-notch. Erin Hunter, the original creator of the property, was incredibly supportive and enthusiastic about every step of the process. The team of James L. Barry on art and Dan Jolley on story really brought this terrific concept to life. Balancing the necessary realism—including the level of detail that Erin imparts to cat behavior and the world of the clans—with a manga sensibility was a lot of fun, and I'm thrilled with the result!
We present to you loyal readers a spin-off story that explores the fate of a beloved character who had disappeared from the novels series about halfway through, and whose fate had been left uncertain...until now!
Our tale starts with Graystripe, second in command of Thunderclan, several months after his capture, and we discover that he has been living with a Twoleg family as a kittypet. His wild instincts are being dulled by his easy life, but the pull to find his clan and rejoin his comrades is strong, and so a decision must be made, and a quest begun!
