Fire

"'You did this to yourself. You could've been happy here, but you ruined it! For once in your life, why couldn't you have just kept your head down and behaved like a Pride huntress?! All I've ever done is protect you! Proud let you live because of me, you owe everything to me!' —Fire to Nothing in Episode 10: Pride Law."

Fire is an African lion and Nothing's brother.

Personality

 * As a cub, Fire was shown to be very cynical and didn't seem to like stories. Spark had said Fire didn't do much compared to his sister and Spark. Fire also didn't like fictional stories about his own folklore. Unlike Nothing and Spark, he agreed with his father, Starmane, when he said that he wanted to have a talk with Sharptongue due to the immense violence in her stories. He rarely gets angry, but is seen glaring at Powerstrike after she names his sister 'Nothing'. He also defends Nothing against Proud's insults at her for not being good at anything.


 * When forced to choose between Barkmane's Pride and his kin, Fire revealed a horrific and violent side of himself as he turned on Feather, attacking and believing he had killed him, all while insisting he was justified. He believes Nothing owes everything to him, as he cared for her in the Pride when no other lion would.


 * When confronted by Ghost, Fire confesses that he was at fault for Tangle's death back at the stretch. Fire killed Tangle because he was afraid that Tangle wouldn't share the piece of prey he had caught.

His father looks through the tall grass and sees that he finds the No-Mane, Fire runs out and leaves his brother and sister behind. He is later seen waking up his sister from his dream with Ghost and the Shifting Place he takes her to his mother who was fighting with the murderer of their father and brother, so after the argument Powerstrike leaves and takes Fire and Nothing with her.

Episode Two: Nothing

 * Fire is sitting beside his and grandmother, Sharptongue, speaking with Nothing about her huntress assessment. Quickmane eventually interrupts and calls his sister for the ceremony. In the middle of the ceremony, she trips on her injured and ultimately fails the assessment in the process, worrying Fire greatly. The assessment angers Powerstrike, and she in turns gives his sister the name 'Nothing'. He rushes to her side to see if she is well, but not before Quickmane interrupts him and orders him to leave the territory, rendering Fire a grown No-Mane. With no other choice, he says goodbye to his sister and promises that he'd come back for her, then leaves while the rest of the Pride wishes him luck.

Episode Four: Outsider

 * While Nothing cares for Feather and his sisters, Fire silently calls for Nothing, telling her to meet him by the watering hole. She is very reluctant to go, but decides to meet with her brother in the end. While Nothing and Fire are meeting, Feather appears and startles them. When Nothing picks him up to return him to the Sisters Steppe, Fire talks about the group of No-Manes he wanted her to meet. Nothing asks him if it's safe for Feather, and Fire reassured that he's under his protection.


 * When they reach the group's destination, he introduces his friends to them. Proud eventually takes interest in Nothing's name, saying that it's fitting for her. Fire and Tangle ask him to stop, at which Fire explains that Powerstrike, the Hunt Chief, only gave her the name to be cruel. When Nothing realizes that she is late for Hover's ceremony, she hurries away, and Fire asks who Hover is.

Episode Five: Escape

 * As Quickmane lashes out at Nothing, he shouts that he's going to kill Fire, and goes off to find him. Nothing begs for the Pride to help her stop Quickmane, saying that he's innocent, to no avail.


 * When Nothing finds Quickmane dead, Proud and Nothing argue about Nothing killing her. Proud points out that no Pride will take her in, and she argues that Fire will take her. He is again mentioned by Nothing when she asks Feather to find his trail, before going on the Prideless Stretch to find him.

Episode Nine: Fire

 * Nothing and Feather are hunting a gazelle on the border to a Pride, but stumble upon Fire, who catches the gazelle instead. Fire is overjoyed to see his sister, and asks what she's doing all the way out on the Stretch. Nothing tells him that Proud took over the Sisters Steppe, and Fire is sympathetic. He tells her how Quickmane had attacked him, but Proud saved him unintentionally. He says that after that, it was just him and Tangle, all alone on the Stretch. He admits that Tangle didn't make it on the Stretch. Feather asks if the Pride they're standing on the border of is his Pride, and Fire responds by saying that it isn't his yet.


 * Later on, Fire speaks with Nothing about the Pride that he has found and tells her about his plans to kill the Pride's Mane, Barkmane, to take over. He asks Nothing and Feather to help him, but Feather is reluctant, and points out that he keeps calling Nothing 'sister'. Fire says that when he takes over, he's going to give Nothing a proper huntress name. Feather then asks to speak with Nothing in private. Fire tells them to take their time, but looks unsure.


 * Feather expresses that he doesn't like that Fire wants to get rid of Nothing's name, and tells her that her name isn't what it was intended to be anymore, and that Fire doesn't have the right to change it. He says that Fire doesn't know her anymore, and points out that he asked them to help him kill someone. Nothing says that if he doesn't want to help defeat Barkmane he doesn't have to, but that Nothing is choosing to help Fire.


 * When Fire and Barkmane fight, Barkmane easily overpowers Fire and nearly kills him. Fire shouts for Nothing's help, but Nothing freezes and remembers the traumatic fight between Quickmane and Starmane. It is Feather who helps Fire kill Barkmane, even though Feather admits that he didn't do it for Fire. Fire berates Nothing after not doing what she is told, and has to stop himself from doing any irrational. Fire tells Barkmane's Pride that he is their new Mane. The Hunt Chief, Moonstrike, refuses to accept Fire as their new Mane unless he kills Feather. Fire is reluctant to end Feather's life.

Episode Ten: Pride Law

 * Fire ominously reminds Nothing of how good of a brother he was to her, and says that she needs to help him. Nothing turns around in a panic and tells Feather to run, before freezing up as Fire runs past her, chasing Feather and wounding his neck brutally.


 * Nothing, assuming Feather's death, challenges Fire to the right of the Pride. He is dismissive at first to her call, telling her she'll feel better once she calms down. After a few attack from her, he gives in and attacks her, scolding and demonizing her. After he nearly kills her, he demands her to drop the fight and join him, but she refuses and says that her place is challenging him. Another fight is about to begin, but Ghost jumps between them and ends the fight. Fire tells him to stay away from the Pride, to which Ghost uses his power to let Tangle's spirit reveal how he died by Fire's claws. Fire begs him to stop and asks Nothing once more to stay with him and his new Pride, only for her to leave him with the Pride who seems to have a distaste for him now.

Nothing

 * Although Nothing and Fire had a troubling relationship when they were cubs, they bonded after the death of their father and brother, and after Nothing's injuries. The two are shown to be very close and trusting towards each other.


 * Fire is later shown to be cruel, as not only had he murdered his friend, Tangle, he is more than willing to kill their younger cousin Feather if it meant getting the Pride he was after. He then reveals his true feelings about Nothing, seeing her as weak and unable to do anything without his help and calling her a curse. Nothing challenges him for the Pride he's trying to gain, and he almost kills Nothing in the process, being saved at the last minute by Ghost, who takes her away to go to the Shifting Place. Nothing's last words to her brother are that she couldn't believe that she couldn't see the lion Fire really was.

Starmane

 * Fire was very close to his father, and although his reaction to his death was offscreen and unknown, it could be assumed he was horrified.

Powerstrike

 * Fire loves his mother, Powerstrike. He was, however, very unhappy when his mother gave Nothing her name. Their current relationship is strained, as she was willing to let him die in the claws of Quickmane without lifting a paw to help.

Feather

 * Fire is intrigued by Feather and his antics. Feather looks up to Fire and is very friendly with him. However, in Episode 9, Fire was told he had to kill Feather to become a Mane, Fire agrees to killing Feather and quickly bites him assuming he wouldn’t be alive after the one bite.

Quickmane

 * Quickmane was supposed to kill Fire as a cub, yet Nothing bested him in combat. Despite his hatred towards him, Quickmane was forced to tolerate Fire's presence until he was old enough to become a No-Mane. When he learned that Fire entered his territory, Quickmane raged with anger and left to kill him. To his surprise, Proud was waiting for his opportunity to kill him.

Proudmane

 * Proud and Fire were on good terms and he considered Fire as a younger brother. Despite him being cold towards his sister, he told him that he has to fight in order to find a Pride for himself to survive as Proud knew Fire has no experience in fighting.

Tangle

 * Tangle and Fire were part Fire's bachelor group. Fire was close to Tangle, and during the confrontation with Quickmane it was Tangle who helped him escape. The two were separated from the rest of the bachelor group and spent a long time out on the Prideless Stretch together. Given the harsh survival conditions of the stretch and the scarcity of prey, Fire and Tangle began to starve out on the stretch. After awakening one day to find that Tangle had caught the first prey they'd seen in weeks on the stretch, Fire became convinced that Tangle was going to keep it to himself and let him starve. He lashed out at Tangle and killed him, an act that he would later come to feel great remorse for.
