Willowpelt

Willowpelt is a slender, very pale gray she-cat with unusual blue eyes.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Willowkit is born to Swiftbreeze and Adderfang along with her siblings, Redkit and Spottedkit. Later in the book, they all become apprentices, receiving the names as Willowpaw, Redpaw, and Spottedpaw. She is seen practicing battle moves with Thistleclaw and her brother Redpaw mostly throughout the end of the book.

Firestar's Quest

 * In this book, Willowpelt goes on a patrol with Firestar, her son, Sootpaw, Ashfur, and Thornclaw. After a few moments, they scent a badger, and while no one is looking, the badger confronts Sootpaw, about to crush him but Willowpelt knocks her son out of the way in time for him to live, sacrificing herself in the process. Her death is described with her shriek being cut off by a sickening crunch as the badger snapped her neck. Her three kits, Sootpaw, Sorrelpaw and Rainpaw are given several days off apprentice duties to cope with her death. She is noted to be the first cat to die after the battle with BloodClan. She is greatly mourned and One-eye wonders why such a young cat had to go to StarClan so soon when she had so much more to offer for her Clan.

Into the Wild

 * She makes her first appearance, being seen with Tigerclaw, Darkstripe, and Bluestar when they find Firepaw feeding a rabbit to Yellowfang, and helps escort her to the ThunderClan camp. When the Clans come back from the Gathering, she, along with many warriors of ThunderClan, believes that Yellowfang would harm the kits, due to Brokenstar's rumor at the Gathering.


 * Later, she is seen on the patrol that went to ShadowClan to get their kits back, fighting Brokenstar's gang, and then helping the kits walk when they stumble.

Fire and Ice

 * In this book, Willowpelt is shown to express contempt for RiverClan when she hears that they want to take over WindClan's territory, stating they have always grown fat on fish from the river and have no need for more prey. She is seen on many patrols throughout the story, such as being a part of the patrol that helped Fireheart and Graystripe fight off RiverClan at the battle by the gorge, being picked by Bluestar to be part of a raiding party to RiverClan, and being part of the patrol sent to help WindClan when they were being attacked at the end of the book. After the battle with WindClan, she is seen helping injured cats.

Forest of Secrets

 * She mentions that she will need to move to the nursery soon, meaning she is expecting kits. Fireheart, who wonders who the father is, figures out it is Whitestorm, whom is watching proudly from a distance beyond the warrior den.


 * She is also seen snarling at some WindClan queens who she had been sharing tongues with at the Gathering when Nightstar reveals that ThunderClan had sheltered Brokentail.

Rising Storm

 * She is seen outside the nursery, her belly swollen with Whitestorm's kits, with Brindleface and her two kits: Fernkit and Ashkit. She later gives birth to Sorrelkit, Sootkit, and Rainkit. She mentions to Fireheart that she misses being a warrior, though she loves her kits. It is suggested she thinks her mate, Whitestorm, should have been deputy, instead of Fireheart.

A Dangerous Path

 * Willowpelt is only mentioned twice in this book; she is seen watching her kits, Sorrelkit, Rainkit, and Sootkit, play with the older ones, making sure they do not accidentally get hurt. Also, when a hawk appears over the camp, she pushes her kits into the nursery so they are safe and secured. She is not seen after this.

The Darkest Hour

 * One of her kits, Sorrelkit, nearly died after being fed deathberries by Darkstripe. Willowpelt is seen pounding up the ravine with Bramblepaw, asking, worriedly, what happened and licking Sorrelkit's fur roughly. She spits, still angry about her kit, at her son Darkstripe as he leaves the camp. She was one of the cats who fought against BloodClan in the battle at Fourtrees, and is seen by Firestar, rolling on the ground, fighting with a BloodClan tortoiseshell she-cat. She let Sandstorm train her kits to fight just in case BloodClan attacked, and she left them with the elders when they went to fight BloodClan.


 * Whitestorm who was her mate, died in the battle while fighting against Bone.

Trivia

 * It was revealed on Vicky's Facebook page that Willowpelt was mates with Tawnyspots, and bore his only son, Darkstripe; and was also mates with Patchpelt, and gave birth to his son, Graystripe.
 * She has SkyClan blood, because her sister is Spottedleaf.
 * It is said in Rising Storm that she was expecting her first litter, but it is actually her third.
 * In Rising Storm, when Willowpelt gave birth to Whitestorm's kits, Sandstorm said Willowpelt gave birth to 2 she-cats and a tom, but really it was 2 toms and 1 she-cat.
