History: The Origional Series
Bluestar is seen at the beginning of Into the Wild, accompanied by Lionheart. She watches Lionheart's apprentice, Graypaw, attack the wandering kittypet Rusty. After the two stop, she comes in. After being asked a bit by the curious Rusty, Bluestar asks him if he wants to join ThunderClan, because they needed more apprentices to defend themselves from the growing ShadowClan. Rusty accepts, and Bluestar announces his arival to the Clan. After he looses his collar in a fight with Longtail, she names him Firepaw.
Bluestar then sees Tigerclaw return with Redtail's body, and in grief, Bluestar names Lionheart the new deputy. For a time, Firepaw shared mentors with Ravenpaw and Graypaw, until Bluestar took him as her own apprentice. Later, at a Gathering, Brokenstar (ShadowClan's leader) demands hunting rights from the other Clans, Bluestar refused to agree. She stood up for Yellowfang, believing she was no harm to their kits, as Brokenstar said she was. She then goes to the Moonstone to share tongues with StarClan, accompanied by Firepaw, Graypaw, Ravenpaw, and Tigerclaw. They were attacked by rats on the way back, and Bluestar lost her seventh life, but lied to Tigerclaw and said it was her fifth.
ShadowClan had attacked ThunderClan while they had gone, as StarClan had shown Bluestar in her dream. Lionheart, had been killed in the battle, and named Tigerclaw deputy. Later, Bluestar gave Yellowfang full membership to ThunderClan. Firepaw is then told by Bluestar herself that she has lied to the Clan that she had four lives left, when she only had two left. Yellowfang disappeared when Frostfur's kits were stolen, and Bluestar sent her apprentice to find out if she had taken them or not. Yellowfang became the new medicine cat, since Spottedleaf had been killed.

Bluestar gives the two newly named warriors, Fireheart and Graystripe, the task of finding the lost WindClan and bringing them home. In leaf-bare, she becomes sick with greencough and looses a life. She only has one remaining after this. And when ShadowClan is suspected of hunting in their territory (when it is really Brokenstar and his exiled friends from ShadowClan), Tigerclaw goes to send a patrol to attack ShadowClan, and Fireheart sends Brackenpaw to stop them. He, himself, had to fetch catmint for Bluestar and all the other warriors were on patrol.
When Brokenstar is blinded by Yellowfang, Bluestar accepts him as a prisoner, and names him Brokentail, though they cannot take his lives away.

Tigerclaw's treachery is revealed to Bluestar when Tigerclaw tries to attack her and murder her in her den. She helps keep him pinned to the floor of her den when Fireheart attacks Tigerclaw. She then exiles her traitorous deputy from ThunderClan, and, though none of her Clan knew this, her mind was beginning to shatter.

Bluestar becomes more and more unlike herself, for the shock Tigerclaw's treachery shook her to the core. She begins to mistrust all her warriors, except for Fireheart, her savior, and Whitestorm, her nephew. She and Fireheart travel to WindClan territory on their way to Highstones, but are stopped by a patrol led by Mudclaw.

Her hate of StarClan has grown, seeing that all they've done is betrayed her over and over. She still believes she can't trust any cat in her Clan, except for Whitestorm and Fireheart, and will not give the four eldest apprentices (Thornpaw, Brightpaw, Swiftpaw, and Cloudpaw) warrior names, except for Cloudpaw because he is Fireheart's kin. She even notes that the Clan could use more warriors like him, because Cloudpaw did not even believe in StarClan. She names Cloudpaw Cloudtail, but only does the ceremony because she knew the Clan wouldn't accept Cloudtail without one.
When Swiftpaw is killed, and Brightpaw is gravely injured, she gives her the warrior name of Lostface, to remind StarClan what they did to her to take her away from ThunderClan. Lostface lives though, and since regrets Bluestar giving her a horrible name.
A dog pack was stealing prey from ThunderClan territory, but Bluestar refused to believe it, thinking it was WindClan. Fireheart arranges a peace talk, to which Bluestar agrees to go, and realizes both Clans were suffering. The said dog pack were being led away from the camp by Fireheart, until Tigerstar came and held him down so the dog pack's leader could catch up. Bluestar then came, and drove the dog and herself over the edge of the gorge. She made it to shore, carried by Mistyfoot and Stonefur (her children) to the RiverClan side. The struggle had been too much, and she died, but her kits found it in their hearts to forgive her. She also named Fireheart leader, and found faith in StarClan. She mentioned the prophecy 'Fire alone will save our Clan' to her deputy before she died.

Bluestar is seen once more, in giving Firestar his last life. The life of nobility and certainty and faith.

Firestar's Quest
She is confronted by Firestar, in which he questions her about the cats in his dreams. Bluestar reluctantly tells him of SkyClan, and he breaks away from her, believing she and the rest of StarClan had lied to him.

The New Prophecy
Bluestar had little appearance in this series, since she had died a while ago, but still showed up in parts of the series.

Amongst StarClan, Bluestar chooses the ThunderClan cat that will go on the journey to the sun-drown-place to save the Clans. She appears to her chosen cat, Brambleclaw, in a dream and tells him of his destiny.

She is seen among their new sky to walk in, and meets Midnight, the cat-speaking badger. She warns Spottedleaf not too look to hard, because sometimes there was nothing StarClan could do.

She was among the many cats that came to tell Cinderpelt of her early death.

She, along with Lionheart and Yellowfang, tell Leafpool that she will walk a path few medicine cats have walked before. She tells Leafpool that the stars she has seen are cats she haven't met, but they will shape her future.

Power of Three
Bluestar has only appeared once, in The Sight, but might appear in future books...

Bluestar gives Leafpool a message for Firestar. That he must listen to his head, not his heart, to make the right choice for deputy.
