The Dawntress Troop is a troop formed by the unification of a large portion of the Crookedtree Troop, Brightforest Troop and the Justice Troop. Berry gave Dawntrees its name when she succeeded Stinger as Crownleaf.
Hierarchy[]
Dawntrees Troop has the same ranks the other troops have, Highleaf, Middleleaf, Lowleaf, Goodleaf, Starleaf, and Crownleaf. The only different rank is Crownguard (see below).
Crownguard[]
The Crownguard his formed by Berry to provide more security for Dawntrees Troop. They serve as Dawntrees's first line of defense. Unlike the now-defunct Strongbranches,[1] the Crownguard doesn't abuse its power, nor does it usurp the council. However, they are revealed to be no better than the Strongbranches in The Spirit-Eaters. when they go behind Berry's back by undermining her authority and attacking a battered up Tendril against Berry's orders and leaving Seedling and her to fend for themselves.[2]
As of The Spirit-Eaters, the Crownguard rank was abolished and usurped by the Crownguard. However, the position of Crownleaf returned when the Crownguard was eliminated.
