Hawk Swoop/Main article

Hawk Swoop is an orange tabby she-cat with amber eyes.

Hawk Swoop was a member of the ancient Tribe and later Tall Shadow's group on the moor. She joined others on the journey to the forest territories. Hawk Swoop agreed to raise Thunder with hers and Jackdaw's Cry's kits, Acorn Fur and Lightning Tail, and never stopped loving him even when he briefly left to join his father's group in the forest. She and her mate were slain in the Great Battle, and joined StarClan, watching over her kits until it was their time to join her.

Dawn of the Clans

 * Hawk Swoop is a member of the ancient Tribe of Rushing Water, and agrees to go on a journey to find a new home. She is one of the youngest members participating, and dislocates her leg while running from sheep. Hawk Swoop chooses to stay on the moor with Tall Shadow's group, and soon is expecting Jackdaw's Cry's kits. Despite her mate's protests, Hawk Swoop agrees to foster Thunder, Clear Sky's newborn son whom he disowned. She raises him with her own kits that are born shortly after, Acorn Fur and Lightning Tail.


 * When Thunder leaves the group to join his father in the forest, Hawk Swoop realizes she cannot stop him, and mournfully wishes him well. She encourages Gray Wing to become their leader after voicing Tall Shadow's faults. When Thunder returns to the moor cats, Hawk Swoop proudly welcomes him back. As Thunder tries to explain why he left, Hawk Swoop doesn't place any fault for him instinctively wanting to be with his kin. She is slain during the battle at four trees, but her spirit shortly thereafter appears, and she promises to never leave her kits. Her mate, Jackdaw's Cry, is also killed, and their kits mourn the loss of their parents.
