Firewish is the matriarch of the largest family in Shadowclan, alongside her mate Flamestar, she raised many litters. After Flamestar became leader, he chose Firewish to become deputy, but after many moons of service to her clan, Firewish would step down, giving the role to her son Scorchedmask, who would go on to lead the new generations of Shadowclan warriors after the great journey.

Not many people know about it, but Firewish does suffer from a mild form of depression (Persistent depressive disorder). In her younger years she would take herbs to soothe her, but as she aged she found that she could cope with her illness without the use of herbs. After having her second litter Firewish does suffer from Postpartum depression as well.
