Graystripe

Graystripe is a long-haired gray tom with yellow eyes, broad shoulders, a broad face, furry, muscular shoulders, a stripe of darker gray fur running down his back, a torn left ear, and a bushy tail.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Graypaw is seen very briefly, playing with Sandpaw, Dustpaw, and Ravenpaw.


 * At the end of the book, Bluestar sees Rusty sitting on his fence post. She tells Whitestorm to tell Graypaw to keep an eye on Rusty.

Firestar's Quest

 * Graystripe is deputy when this book begins. When Firestar asks if the patrols are back, Graystripe says that the last one has come in. Graystripe tells him that the hunting patrol had caught lots of prey, and that Thornclaw was going to send the apprentices to collect it. He then asks Firestar why he wanted the patrols, and Firestar said that he wanted to know if there was anything to report. Firestar asks Graystripe if they'd seen any rogues on their territory, and Graystripe says not a trace. He asks if something was bothering Firestar, but Firestar says he is fine. He reports that there is a fox that had crossed over to ThunderClan territory.


 * Sandstorm tells Firestar that Brambleclaw had been hunting with Ashfur and Graystripe all afternoon. When Longtail gets his eyes scratched by a rabbit, Graystripe and Mousefur are seen coming out of the warriors den to see what was going on. Graystripe offers to lead a hunting patrol.


 * When they are attending a Gathering, Graystripe tells Brambleclaw to calm down because he is so excited to go to his first Gathering as a warrior. Graystripe tells Brambleclaw that the Clans might not believe it if he kept on acting like an apprentice. Once the Gathering ends, Firestar tells Graystripe and Sandstorm to bring the Clan back to camp so that he can go to the Moonstone. Graystripe offers to go with Firestar, but Firestar tells him that he'll be fine on his own. He tells Firestar to tell Ravenpaw that he said hello when he passes his farm.


 * When Firestar decides to tell someone about the journey he would be embarking on, Graystripe is one of the three cats he told, along with Sandstorm and Cinderpelt. Before Firestar can finish telling the three cats, Graystripe and Sandstorm accuse him of abandoning his Clan to return to his kittypet life, as that is what they believe he is going to tell them. He wants Sandstorm to come with him and she gladly accepts, while Graystripe and Cinderpelt promise to watch over the Clan. When Firestar leaves, Graystripe is left in charge of the Clan along with Cinderpelt until Firestar and Sandstorm returned from rebuilding SkyClan. When Firestar and Sandstorm are leaving, Graystripe tells Firestar that he will wait for him forever.

Into the Wild

 * On Graypaw's first night out as an apprentice, he meets Rusty, a flame-colored kittypet. Rusty strayed out of the Twolegplace. He gets into a small fight with Graypaw who tells him he fought a good fight for a kittypet and tells him about the Clans. He then scents cats from his Clan and tells Rusty to go away. Unfortunately, Rusty didn't take to the warning in time and Bluestar and Lionheart find the two, making Graypaw crouch under their presences. He is then pleased with Bluestar's praise as she tells them that they've been watching them and is glad to see how he reacted bravely towards an intruder. Bluestar asks Rusty to join the Clan, but Rusty says he wishes to give it some thought. The next day, when Rusty arrives at ThunderClan camp, Graypaw watches him fight Longtail. He congratulates him on his victory along with other cats of the Clan. He is interrupted, however, when Ravenpaw arrives back to camp from a battle against RiverClan without Tigerclaw and Redtail. He is shocked along with the rest of the Clan when Ravenpaw announces Redtail's death by Oakheart. He and Firepaw visit Ravenpaw, who is being treated by Spottedleaf. After talking to Ravenpaw, he and Firepaw are asked to leave the den by Spottedleaf and the two retire to bed in the apprentices' den as cats go to sit vigil for Redtail.


 * Two moons after Firepaw joined the Clan, Graypaw runs into him, on his way to deliver a message to the patrol along the WindClan border from Bluestar. Graypaw hunts with Firepaw for a bit, then runs off to deliver the message. When Graypaw meets Firepaw and Yellowfang with the patrol, he was reassured his friend that Bluestar would give him a fair punishment. Later, when Bluestar calls a Clan meeting, he is in awe when Bluestar takes Firepaw on as her apprentice. Once Firepaw's training is started again, Graypaw and his two friends attend the first Gathering since the disappearance of WindClan and meet all sorts of cats. After returning from the Gathering, Graypaw, Firepaw and Ravenpaw accompany Bluestar and Tigerclaw to the Moonstone. When the cats return, they meet Barley. He tells them that the dogs are unleashed at night, and the safest way to get back to ThunderClan is through the fields. They are attacked by rats, and Bluestar loses a life. She says that was her fifth life, and then Tigerclaw accuses Barley of leading them into a trap. They then travel back to camp, then reliaze that the camp is being attacked by ShadowClan. After the battle, Lionheart is seriously injuried, and he dies from blood loss. Graypaw is grief-stricken, but finishes his training with Ravenpaw's mentor, Tigerclaw. One day, when Firepaw returns from hunting Graypaw shows him his paw he cut on a sharp rock in the stream.


 * A few days later, Frostfur's kits have disappeared and their kidnapper killed Spottedleaf. In addition to that, Yellowfang has disappeared and is accused of killing Spottedleaf and taking the kits to ShadowClan. Bluestar assigns Firepaw to find her. Firepaw then explains to Graypaw, when they're out of camp, that Tigerclaw had killed Redtail, and Redtail had killed Oakheart, then told him of Tigerclaw gossiping about how Ravenpaw 'sneaked away and told ShadowClan that ThunderClan's strongest warriors were away' and how Tigerclaw threatened to kill Ravenpaw. They take Ravenpaw to live with Barley the loner, and look for Yellowfang afterwards. They find her in ShadowClan territory and find out that Yellowfang didn't steal the kits, and she is trying to save them. Then, a patrol from ThunderClan finds them and agrees to help rescue the kits. The cats attack and manage to drive out Brokenstar and his warriors. When they get back, Graypaw is the one who points out that Spottedleaf was not attacked by Yellowfang, and Whitestorm tells Bluestar about Graypaw and Firepaw's courageous fighting and the two are made warriors. Graypaw receives the name Graystripe, and Firepaw becomes Fireheart.

Fire and Ice

 * Graystripe and Fireheart finish their warrior vigils and go to the warriors den to get some sleep. Later, they attend the Gathering. The next morning, Bluestar assigns them the task of finding WindClan and bringing them back. They are able to locate the WindClan camp and pick up their scents. With the WindClan scents on their noses, they follow the trail and find a tunnel and discover that the Thunderpath are right above them. The next day, Graystripe and Fireheart follow cats into another tunnel and find the entire Clan sleeping in it. Once the Clan is ready, Graystripe leads the Clan to the final Thunderpath. Once they cross, Graystripe and Fireheart meet their old friend, Ravenpaw. Ravenpaw and Barley welcome the Clan to stay and hunt for the night. The next morning, Graystripe and Fireheart lead WindClan back to their camp. Once they return, Graystripe and Fireheart travel to Fourtrees with Deadfoot and Onewhisker. He and Fireheart plan to take a risky route in RiverClan territory, along the gorge, to get home sooner. Unfortunately, the cats run into a RiverClan patrol. The cats leap into battle, and a ThunderClan patrol comes and assists the four cats. During the battle, Graystripe fights Whiteclaw, and Whiteclaw falls over the gorge to his death.


 * Graystripe and Fireheart return to ThunderClan camp and they receive apprentices, Brackenpaw and Cinderpaw. Later, he is seen saying that Brackenpaw was a quick learner and enjoys being a mentor. The day after that, Cinderpaw runs out on the frozen river to look at it. Graystripe runs out on the ice to get her Then, in between two pieces of ice, he sees a water vole. He runs out to catch it, but the ice beneath him breaks and he falls in the river. As he flows downstream, Silverstream, a RiverClan cat rescues him. Graystripe could barely take his eyes off of Silverstream, and only starts to feel the effects of the ice water when she leaves, and sees Yellowfang when he returns to camp and must stay in camp because he has a chill. All out through leaf-bare, Graystripe often sneaks out of camp, even though he is sick, and begins to neglect Brackenpaw's training. Curious, Fireheart follows his scent and sees him talking with Silverstream. Graystripe says goodbye to Silverstream and starts arguing with Fireheart about his loyalty and then the two head back to camp.


 * When Brokentail and a group cats still loyal to him, including Clawface, attack the camp, Graystripe pulls Clawface off of Fireheart when he is attacking him, and kills Clawface. Fireheart asks him where Bluestar is and Graystripe tells him she had sent him back to fetch Tigerclaw because they found bones with rogue scent on them.


 * Later, Graystripe, along with the other warriors of his Clan, fight against RiverClan and ShadowClan, who were attackg WindClan camp. Graystipe looks over and sees Silverstream attacking Fireheart. Graystripe tells her to stop, and when she does, Fireheart instinctively pins her down, to the horror of his friend, but Fireheart lets her go, and Graystripe goes after her to make sure she wasn't hurt. When he returns to camp, he is critisized by Darkstripe and Tigerclaw, and goes to Fireheart for support. The two friends make up and continue to stay friends even though Graystripe continues to see Silverstream.

Forest of Secrets

 * Graystripe and Fireheart visit Ravenpaw after a Gathering to learn more about Redtail's death. They found out that Oakheart wasn't killed by Tigerclaw, he was killed accidently by a rock fall. It was also said that Redtail had Stonefur pinned down, and Oakheart saved him, saying that no ThunderClan warrior shall harm Stonefur. Graystripe asks Silverstream about this, who doesn't know anything. Though her friend, Mistyfoot, who knows about Graystripe and Silverstream's affair, confirms her father's death, but she can't explain why no ThunderClan warrior could harm her brother. She believes her mother,Graypool might know. When Silverstream and Mistyfoot bring the old she cat to meet the two ThunderClan cats, she asks Silverstream, Mistyfoot, and Graystripe to leave so she can talk with Fireheart alone. A few days later, the river starts to rise. Graystripe insists on seeing Silverstream to make sure she's alright. Fireheart goes with him. As they travel downstream, they find two small kits in the river. They manage to rescue them and are brought to RiverClan camp, and are revealed to be Mistyfoot's two missing kits. Crookedstar thanks them grudgingly, and refuses to accept anymore help from ThunderClan, even though their camp is flooded and their fish are poisoned by Twoleg junk. However, thanks to Graypool, Crookedstar allows Graystripe and Fireheart to hunt for them, though it will be a challenge to hide it from there own Clan.


 * The next day, while bringing prey to RiverClan, Graystripe receives some news; Silverstream is pregnant with his kits. Graystripe and Silverstream are ecstatic about the news and Fireheart tries to tell them that it could be a bad thing, but both Silverstream and Graystripe are happy. He and Fireheart head back to ThunderClan, but are caught by Tigerclaw. He takes Graystripe and Fireheart to Bluestar, who punishes them by making them return to apprentice duties until they have learned their lesson to put their Clan first. Longtail teases them about this. Once their punishment was over, Graystripe returns from meeting Silverstream and finds that WindClan and ShadowClan have attacked. However, his apprentice is finally made a warrior, named is Brackenfur. The next day, Graystripe meets Silverstream on Sunningrocks. Her kits start to come early and Fireheart goes to fetch Yellowfang. She is out looking for herbs so Cinderpaw comes to help. Once the two kits are born, Silverstream is unable to be saved, and she dies on the RiverClan border. While he buries Silverstream, Fireheart and Cinderpaw take his kits back to ThunderClan, and gives them to Goldenflower for them to nurse.


 * When Fireheart comes back Graystripe tells him that he buried Silverstream by the river because she would have liked it. He is always in the nursery, to the annoyance of the queens. RiverClan later demands the kits to be in RiverClan because they would have if Silverstream didn't die. ThunderClan is prepared to fight for them, but to avoid a battle, Graystripe lets RiverClan take them. After Fireheart becomes deputy, he and Fireheart take his kits to Mistyfoot, who is waiting on the RiverClan border. Fireheart says that Graystripe should be with his kits. Graystripe agrees and goes with Mistyfoot to join RiverClan, leaving Fireheart heartbroken that he shall never see his friend again.

Rising Storm

 * Graystripe is not seen in most of the book, only mentioned a few times by Fireheart and his other former Clanmates.


 * Fireheart starts thinking about his best friend, and what he would say when Cloudpaw goes away to find food, leaving Fireheart to take his pigeon back to camp. When Fireheart goes to Bluestar about Ashkit and Fernkit's apprentice ceremonies, Bluestar suggests that Graystripe mentors one of the two, forgetting that he left the Clan for his kits.


 * On their way to Highstones, Bluestar and Fireheart pass RiverClan and Fireheart gets excited that he might see Graystripe, though he is not spotted. At the Gathering, Graystripe does not appear, but Fireheart asks about him to Leopardfur. She says that he is getting used to the water and that his kits are very strong and clever.


 * Through the whole course of the story, Graystripe does his best to remain loyal to RiverClan, but deep down his loyalties still lie within ThunderClan. When a huge fire rages through ThunderClan camp, driving them into RiverClan territory, Graystripe is ecstatic to see Fireheart again. He shows him proudly how well his kits, Featherkit and Stormkit are doing. Graystripe hints to Bluestar that he would like to return to ThunderClan and help with the repairs, but she fiercely refuses, leaving him disappointed.

A Dangerous Path

 * Now that he is a warrior of RiverClan, he needs to remain loyal, though he struggles to do so. At the Gathering, Fireheart tells Mistyfoot that he hadn't seen Graystripe, and Mistyfoot tells her that Leopardfur was furious at him for the way he acted after the fire in ThunderClan camp, and that in Graystripe's heart, he will always belong in ThunderClan. Fireheart asks her then how he was doing, and she told him that Graystripe is fine, and so are his kits.


 * While Sandstorm and Fireheart were talking, Graystripe teases Fireheart by saying to watch out for Sandstorm or she'll claw his ears off if he's not careful. When Fireheart tells Graystripe that he startled him, Graystripe tells him that he saw him from across the river, and that he never thought he would see Fireheart catch prey for Sandstorm. Then, he asks Fireheart if she's special to him, but Fireheart tells him that they are just friends. Graystripe teases with him by saying, "Oh, sure, if you say so." and tells him that he's lucky because Sandstorm is a very impressive cat. Fireheart asks him what's going on in RiverClan, and Graystripe says that every cat is talking about Tigerstar. Fireheart says that maybe since Tigerstar is leader now, maybe he'll act different, but Graystripe says no one can trust him, and says what's the point of knowing the warrior code if all you do is ignore what it says. When Fireheart tells Graystripe about how Runningnose said Tigerstar was a sign from StarClan that he was to be leader of ShadowClan, Graystripe said that he'll believe that Tigerstar was sent from StarClan when hedgehogs fly. Graystripe tells him that if he was Fireheart, he would keep a very careful watch over his borders. Sandstorm greets Graystripe and asks how his kits were doing, he says that they are doing fine, and that they will be apprenticed soon. Fireheart asks him if he'll get to mentor one of them, and Graystripe says that he doesn't know. He says that Crookedstar may let him, but Leopardstar is still is angry at him for Whiteclaw's death, so she'll probably give them to other warriors. Before he leaves, Graystripe catches a fish for Fireheart because he knows that ThunderClan doesn't have much prey since the fire.


 * Later, he warns Fireheart about Leopardstar talking about invading Sunningrocks. Leopardstar is suspicious of him, and feels that he will betray them at some point soon. Soon, Leopardstar demands that ThunderClan repay RiverClan for shelter from the fire by giving up Sunningrocks. Naturally, ThunderClan refuses, and battle ensues. Graystripe finds that he cannot fight against ThunderClan. He warns Fireheart when Leopardstar attacks him. She then tells Graystripe to attack Fireheart or else he will have 'major consequences'. Graystripe refuses, and Leopardstar, furious, starts to threaten Graystripe until reinforcements from ThunderClan show up. She takes one look and flees. In fury after the battle, Leopardstar exiles him from RiverClan. Graystripe goes back to ThunderClan, but most of the Clan members do not accept him, much to his dismay.


 * Sandstorm, who is mad at Fireheart for not choosing her to mentor Tawnykit, spends a lot of time with Graystripe, and points this out loudly as often as she can. And when Fireheart wants to mentor Bramblekit to keep an eye on him, Graystripe says that he was just doing it because he didn't trust the son of Tigerstar.


 * At the end of this book, when Bluestar is dying after saving Fireheart from an attack by a dog pack, he keeps Tigerstar at bay, so Fireheart can share tongues with Bluestar one last time. When Bluestar dies, Graystripe stops fighting Tigerstar and goes over to comfort his friend.

The Darkest Hour

 * At the very beginning of the book, Graystripe scouts the territory to make sure that their is no scent of the dog pack. He tells Fireheart that everything's fine, and there was only broken undergrowth. Fireheart tells Graystripe to go to the Clan and tell them that Bluestar is dead, but nothing else.


 * After Firestar returns from the Moonstone, Graystripe tells him he'd understand if he didn't become deputy, since the Clan didn't really trust him that much, and Firestar tells him that he's happy he understands.


 * He becomes respected when he saves Sorrelkit from Darkstripe, when he tries to feed her deathberries. Graystripe claims that he saw Darkstripe feed her deathberries, but Darkstripe had claimed that he had tried to save her from eating them. Darkstripe knew that Firestar would always take Graystripe's side, but Firestar decided to make Sorrelkit say what happened when she recovered. He is one of the cats that has to stand guard for Sorrelkit while she's in Cinderpelt's den. Firestar knew that it was Graystripe who spread the news of Darkstripe through the Clan.


 * At the next Gathering, Graystripe came up to Mistyfoot and asked how his kits were doing, and she said Featherpaw was turning into a real fighter.


 * Although happy, Graystripe is desperate to get information about his kits, Featherpaw and Stormpaw. He is worried about them now that Tigerstar has taken over RiverClan. Firestar, Ravenpaw, and Graystripe go into RiverClan territory, soon seeing that Tigerstar wanted all half-Clan cats killed. Graystripe is horrified when he learns that his kits, along with Mistyfoot and Stonefur were going to be killed. They witness Stonefur killed and Graystripe wants to help, but he helps to rescue his kits and Mistyfoot and bring them to ThunderClan camp. Graystripe temporarily mentors Stormpaw while he stays in ThunderClan. He is delighted, but when RiverClan is freed from Tigerstar's clutches, his kits return to RiverClan. In the battle with BloodClan, Darkstripe attacks Firestar and tries to kill him, but Graystripe fights Darkstripe off and kills him. After he kills him, he says that there is one less traitor in the forest.


 * When Whitestorm is killed in battle, he tells Firestar that StarClan destined Graystripe to be the deputy of ThunderClan. Listening to Whitestorm, Firestar does a quick deputy ceremony and makes Graystripe the new deputy. Graystripe asks him if he's sure Firestar wants him as deputy, and he says that he wasn't more positive.
 * After the battle, he is seen saying farewell to his kits, and they learn that he is made deputy.

Midnight

 * In Midnight, it is revealed that he knows about the Fire and Tiger prophecy that Cinderpelt has received when a piece of Twoleg rubbish set alight a dried bracken bush when she was out with Leafpaw collecting some herbs. Even though Firestar is very worried about it, he appears to be okay with the knowledge.


 * At the beginning of the book, Graystripe asks Brambleclaw what he was yowling about in his sleep, and that he would scare all the prey from their camp to Fourtrees. He tells all the cats to get a move on in the morning, and that Brackenfur is organizing hunting patrols.


 * At Sorrelpaw's warrior ceremony, Graystripe was seen sitting proudly at the base of the highrock, as if it were his own apprentice becoming a warrior. Firestar was seen quickly talking to Graystripe before starting the ceremony. When the ceremony ended, Firestar went over to sit with Sandstorm and Graystripe beneath the highrock.


 * Brambleclaw overhears Speckletail starting to talk about the story when Graystripe and Firestar had been caught feeding RiverClan.


 * Before ThunderClan enters the Gathering, Graystripe and Sandstorm are seen talking to each other. Once the ThunderClan cats enter the clearing at the Gathering, Leafpaw notices Graystripe talking to a bunch of RiverClan cats. She saw two younger warriors pressing their muzzles to Graystripe's, and Mistyfoot comes over to her. When Mistyfoot asks Leafpaw if she's met Feathertail and Stormfur, Graystripe proudly says that they are his kits. Graystripe asks Mistyfoot if there was a problem in RiverClan, and Mistyfoot tells him he'll figure out soon enough. When Leopardstar tells Tallstar that they can drink out of their river, since WindClan has no water, she says that they will discuss it at the next Gathering, and Graystripe says that Leopardstar would find a way for WindClan to pay for the water somehow. When Leopardstar says that RiverClan has allowed a couple rogue cats into her Clan, Graystripe shoots Mistyfoot a questioning glance, but she just shrugged.


 * Firestar and Graystripe were seen talking at the base of the Highrock with Dustpelt and Squirrelpaw listening.


 * When Brambleclaw disagrees with Firestar about patrolling on the ShadowClan border, Graystripe tells him that ShadowClan has been quiet for too many moons, and that it's about time they started to make trouble. Firestar ends up taking Brambleclaw's side, and sends one patrol on the RiverClan border, and another, led by Graystripe, onto ShadowClan border. Graystripe tells them that he'll find more cats to go with him on the ShadowClan border patrol.


 * Firestar walks in quick movements after Squirrelpaw becomes free from the bramble bush and rebukes them for being together, his fear of her and Brambleclaw destroying ThunderClan making him stressed. Graystripe then arrives and tells Firestar that they weren't doing any harm.


 * His kits, Feathertail and Stormfur, went on a quest to find "Midnight" at the sun-drown-place. He is not informed of this, as only Leafpaw knows. He is stressed about his kits, wondering where they are.


 * He is still seen quite a lot with his long friend, Firestar and he continues to be ThunderClan's deputy.
 * In the epilogue, he is on a patrol when Firestar mentions the bad smell of twoleg monters is worse. Cloudtail looks in horror as he spots a huge monster coming off of the Thunderpath. It heads for the forest and smashes down a tree. They all scatter as they watch the monster rampage through their territory.

Moonrise

 * Graystripe worries about Feathertail and Stormfur often throughout the book, while Firestar worries the same about Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw. He provides support for Firestar, as he is going through the same thing.


 * At the beginning, Graystripe was one of the cats that Firestar called to his den, and was seen walking out of Firestar's den with Sandstorm, Cinderpelt, and Firestar. When Firestar tells the Clan that his patrol saw a Twoleg monster tearing through the Thunderpath, Mousefur didn't believe it, but Graystripe tells her that he saw it too. He goes on a patrol of Firestar, Cinderpelt, Brackenfur, and Leafpaw. Firestar reminds them that they are only going to talk to ShadowClan, and Graystripe says that when a ShadowClan patrol sees them, they'll tear their fur off. They see torn up ground, trees knocked down, the faint smell of Twolegs and their monsters on the territory just past the Thunderpath. Graystripe tells Firestar that maybe the Twolegs finished what they wanted to do, but Firestar tells him that he wouldn't count on it. They arrive to Shadowclan territory and try to speak with Blackstar. Russetfur accuses them of trespassing and the two group of cats break out into a fight. A few moments of the battle in, Firestar shouts for them to stop.


 * While he is hunting, he finds Leafpaw. Graystripe tells her that he can't get Stormfur and Feathertail out of his head, and wishes he knew where they were along with Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw. He thinks that it has something to do with the Twolegs, since many of them have invaded their territory. Leafpaw asks him if he ever met Sasha, and he told her that he did once, at a Gathering. Then, Leafpaw asks him what Sasha was like, and he told her that she was quiet, and ready to be friendly, but being around alot of cats spooked her. Finally, Leafpaw asks him if any cat knew who Mothwing's and Hawkfrost's father was, he replies that he assumed it was another rouge.


 * When Firestar calls a meeting to discuss Windclan, Firestar sends out a patrol of Graystripe, Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Thornclaw, Ashfur, and Cinderpelt to visit Windclan and talk to Tallstar. Thunderclan and Windclan both argue about Windclan stealing prey from Thunderclan territory. Mudclaw challenges this and Graystripe attacks him. Firestar stops them, and puts Graystripe down for disobeying orders.

Dawn

 * Graystripe appears in the prologue with Sandstorm, Dustpelt and Firestar. Sandstorm asks Graystripe if he thinks that Leafpaw and Squirrelpaw will know where they've gone, and he reassures her that they'll find them. When Firestar says he should've sent out another patrol, Graystripe asks him if he would risk more cats lives to find them. Sandstorm whispers to Graystripe that this is the hardest decision he's had to make, and Graystripe says that he had to put the Clan first. When the cats here a roaring sound, Sandstorm asks what the noise was, and Graystripe tells her that something was happening at Fourtrees.


 * His son, Stormfur, returns from the sun-drown-place. Stormfur tells Brackenfur that he wants to talk to Graystripe, and at first Brackenfur is suspicious, but Cinderpelt welcomes him in. When they reach Sunningrocks, Stormfur informs Graystripe on Feathertail's death. Graystripe turns to Brambleclaw in grief and anger and then puts the blame on him for "taking her away," but Squirrelpaw bravely defends Brambleclaw, saying it wasn't his fault and that StarClan chose Feathertail to go on the journey. Graystripe apologizes, and says that it's unfair and that Feathertail was so much like Silverstream.


 * He takes a ThunderClan patrol to rescue the ThunderClan cats Brightheart, Cloudtail, and Leafpaw, along with Gorsetail of WindClan, and Mistyfoot of RiverClan. Also among the cats rescued were Cody, a kittypet and many rogues including the RiverClan cats Hawkfrost and Mothwing's mother Sasha. Having rescued all the cats though, Graystripe is not able to get out of the Twoleg monster before the doors close and lock him in, getting captured and taken away by the Twolegs. When the ThunderClan patrol returns to camp, they explain to Firestar that Graystripe was captured by Twolegs.

Starlight

 * He remains ThunderClan's official deputy as Firestar refuses to appoint another until he has proof that Graystripe is dead.

Twilight

 * He remains ThunderClan's official deputy as Firestar still refuses to appoint another.

Sunset

 * Firestar appoints Brambleclaw deputy as Graystripe's successor, finally admitting that it most is likely that Graystripe is dead. A vigil for him is held.

The Sight

 * Graystripe and Millie arrive on the island, where the Clans are having a Gathering. At first, no one recognizes Graystripe, and attack them both, thinking they are rogues. But Firestar stops them with a yowl, suddenly recognizing his long lost friend. When Millie starts to get defensive, Graystripe tells her to calm down. Firestar is shocked, and jumps down from the Great Oak to greet him. Graystripe and Millie look very ragged, dirty, tired, and hungry. Cats from all the Clans swarm him with greetings and questions, but Graystripe seems hurt that Firestar and the rest of the Clan left him. Pain is shown in Firestar's eyes and he says that he had to leave to save the Clan. He then whispers to Graystripe that if it was just himself in danger, he would have waited. Graystripe introduces Millie and says that she came from Twolegplace. Squirrelflight is surprised that a kittypet had traveled with him, and Graystripe says he could've done it without her. When Brambleclaw asks if they followed their scent trail, Graystripe said that they found their way themselves. Graystripe tells them all that when they arrived at the old forest, he said that their was no cats, no prey, nothing but Twoleg monsters and torn-up trees. Everyone in the Clans welcome him back. Mistyfoot asks Graystripe how he knew they were there, and Graystripe tells her that it was good to see her again, and that they met a rogue who told them that cats were living by the lake. Then, when they looked at the island, they saw outlines of shapes moving around. Firestar immediately brings them back to the camp, and Cinderpaw says that the apprentices couldn't sleep until they heard about the Gathering. Graystripe says that him and Firestar would do the same thing when they were apprentices. When Mousefur said that Graystripe couldn't be back, he says that it really was him, and Mousefur wondered how he found his way back. Graystripe announces that Millie is his new mate. Many cats ask Graystripe multiple questions, even cats who he doesn't know, but Graystripe doesn't answer them. It is shown that Millie is nervous because Graystripe keeps pressing his fur close to hers. When they get back to camp, Graystripe and Millie eat and rest. It takes a while for them both to regain their strength.


 * Meanwhile, Firestar is worried about who's going to be deputy. He didn't know if he should appoint Graystripe the deputy as he once was, or leave Brambleclaw the deputy. After consulting StarClan and Leafpool, Firestar decided to let Brambleclaw remain deputy. Brackenfur wasn't happy about this at first, speaking up for his former mentor. But Graystripe didn't mind not being deputy. He understood that Brambleclaw knew the Clan and territory better, and would make a great deputy.

Dark River

 * He helps Birchfall expand the warrior's den. During the Clan meeting for Millie's warrior name, Graystripe asks anxiously if she plans to leave when she cuts Firestar off. Millie replies that she would never leave and brushes her muzzle against his. She then tells the Clan that she wants to keep the name Millie, and Graystripe is the first to defend her, saying that it doesn't matter what Millie is called, only about how she acts. When Stormfur asks if anyone would not trust Millie or Daisy to fight on ThunderClan's side, Graystripe yells "No!"


 * He is also seen dragging brambles to the half-finished den with Millie. Graystripe is seen again, chatting with Millie while weaving the roof of the new den into place. Graystripe tells Hollypaw to watch out, since him and Millie are carrying brambles. They are wrapping brambles around the already-dense tagled bush.


 * Graystripe is also seen with a bellyache and Millie is tormenting him about how he ate too much. He defends himself by saying that they hasn't eaten that much prey in moons. As Jaypaw is treating him, he thinks that it was strange for a kittypet to lecture a warrior.


 * When Poppypaw and Mousepaw return to the camp and say that Hollypaw is missing, Graystripe scrambles to his paws and asks them if they knew how long she was missing, to which Poppypaw replies that Hollypaw never arrived for training. When Brightheart says that Hollypaw might be hurt, Graystripe answers that no one was hurt, but Hollypaw is to be missing.

Outcast

 * Graystripe's mate, Millie, has moved to the nursery, expecting kits.


 * When Firestar tells Lionpaw he shouldn't go on the border patrol because he's worked so hard, Graystripe offers to go. Graystripe tells Firestar that they'll make sure that the scent markers are fresh and before he gets to say anything else, Berrypaw interupts him. Firestar says that they'll hold the warrior ceremony immediately, and Graystripe asks him about the border patrol, and Firestar says it can wait until dusk.


 * When Mousepaw, Hazelpaw, and Berrypaw are getting ready to be made warriors, Berrypaw is afraid that Firestar would name him Berrystumpytail. Graystripe tells them to be quiet and that the ceremony is about to start.


 * He later returns from a hunting patrol, carrying a squirrel and two mice in his jaws.


 * When the Tribe cats are caught in ThunderClan territory, he and the rest of his patrol, consisting of Birchfall and Whitewing, take them to the ThunderClan camp. When Whitewing tries to speak, he hisses threateningly at her. After they explain about needing help, Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight offer to go to the mountains with them. When Firestar asks to discuss it with them, he tells Graystripe, Sandstorm, and Leafpool to come listen too.


 * Brambleclaw chooses him to serve as current deputy while he is away, saying that he was an obvious choice, since he already knew how to do the deputy duties.

Eclipse

 * Brambleclaw tells Cinderpaw that he was going to ask Graystripe to lead the sunset patrol. Graystripe is seen repairing the nursery and asks Millie if she's okay, since she's heavily pregnant with his kits.


 * When Thornclaw asks if the Tribe will be able to defend their borders, Squirrelflight says that she taught them how to fight, and Graystripe says knowing how she fights, they probably will be fine.


 * Graystripe is on the patrol with Sorreltail, Mousewhisker, and Jaypaw. When Mousewhisker said that maybe having Honeypaw, Poppypaw and Cindperpaw move into the den will stop the old warriors for having the softest moss. Graystipe teases him, saying, "We old warriors need the soft moss for our poor old ancient bones."


 * Graystripe's mate, Millie, has her kits. Before the kits are born, Graystripe sees Jaypaw and growls at him, "If you have to choose to save anyone save her." Although Graystripe is unaware of it, Jaypaw is pulled into his thoughts and it is shown that Graystripe is remembering the day when Silverstream had her kits and how she died, which shows that he is afraid that Millie's kitting will end badly as they did with Silverstream's kitting which shows what Graystripe means when he talks to Jayfeather.


 * However, their kits are born without a problem and they are named Bumblekit, Briarkit, and Blossomkit. Graystripe is overjoyed when he learns that both his mate and kits are alive and well.


 * When WindClan attacks, it is said that Graystripe is guarding the nursery and his face is daring any cat to come near. After the attack, Firestar orders Graystripe to stay behind and guard the camp. Graystripe is noticeably relieved that he can stay near Millie and their kits.


 * He seems worried when Millie catches whitecough that she will die, thus sending him into another flashback to Silverstream's death.

Long Shadows

 * Greencough has broken into camp, and Millie and Briarkit both catch it. He goes to the medicine den to find Millie. Graystripe asks Millie what is going on and that he heard her coughing from the other side of the camp. Leafpool tells Graystripe that Millie and Briarkit both caught Greencough, and he asks what he can do to help. She tells him that he can go talk to Daisy because she needs to eat since she's going to feed four kits, and Graystripe says he'll fetch fresh-kill for all of them, and that they could ask him if they needed anymore help.


 * Hollyleaf sees Graystripe going into Leafpool's den to check on Millie.


 * When Mousefur complains about ThunderClan taking in too many other Clan cats and strays, Graystripe tells the Clan that Tawnypelt, Flamepaw, Tigerpaw, and Dawnpaw are part ThunderClan and deserve to have a home there.


 * It is stated when Millie and Briarkit have serious greencough and are moved to the abandoned Twoleg den, he is depressed and really misses her, and so do the healthy kits.


 * When Jaypaw asks Graystripe if he still loves the silver cat that died, Graystripe tells him that he does and that her name was Silverstream and was the mother of Stormfur and Feathertail. Jaypaw tells him that Silverstream is watching over Millie, and Graystripe asked him how he knew all of that. Then Jaypaw tells him that he heard it in a vision, and Graystripe says its so like Silverstream to care.


 * He panics over Millie, worried that he is going to lose her, just as he had lost Silverstream.


 * When Millie is departing with the other sick cats, he has to be restrained from going to her by Hollyleaf and Lionblaze, and he had nearly attacked Lionblaze.


 * After they find Ashfur's dead body, Firestar orders Lionblaze, Graystripe, and Dustpelt to go fetch his body.


 * Firestar tells him that when it is time for Millie to go he will send for him.

Sunrise

 * When Firestar calls a meeting, Graystripe is seen coming out of the nursery along with Millie and his kits.


 * When Firestar takes a patrol to WindClan to ask if they know anything about Ashfur's death, he tells Graystripe to keep an eye on Thornclaw and the others. Graystripe then says that he will stick closer to them closer than their pelts. When Ashfoot tells the ThunderClan patrol that she saw Sol on the border that day that Ashfur was killed, so most of the patrol blamed Sol, but Graystripe tells them that just because Ashfoot spotted Sol, doesn't mean that he killed Ashfur and that they should find out more about what happened that day, and Firestar agrees with him.


 * Graystripe is chosen as stand-in deputy when Brambleclaw takes a patrol to go after Sol. When Bumblekit gets worried that Sol will come into camp, Millie reassures him that Sol is far away, and asked him if his father would let anything hurt him, and Bumblekit says "no" and that Graystripe is the best. Jayfeather passes Firestar, Sandstorm, Brackenfur and Graystripe on the way back to his den. When Sandstorm tells Firestar he should warn the patrols not to go to the WindClan border, and Graystripe agrees with her saying that they don't want to find another dead warrior in the stream. He seemed worried about not being able to do a good job, and he repeatedly asks Brambleclaw for help. Firestar tells Graystripe that he'll do fine and that he knows the territory well enough by now.


 * Graystripe calls the patrols the next morning, he tells Sandstorm that she'll lead the dawn patrol and bring Squirrelflight and Foxpaw. When Firestar asks about hunting patrols, Graystripe tells him that he'll lead one and bring Sorreltail and Mousewhisker. He whispers to Firestar that if either of them lead a border patrol, the Clan might think something bad is going to happen, and Firestar tells him that was good thinking. He tells Dustpelt that he shall lead another hunting patrol and to bring Cloudtail and Brightheart. When he reminds Dustpelt of what Brambleclaw said about the ShadowClan border, Dustpelt tells him that he knows and that he wasn't born the day before. Brightheart then asks Graystripe if they could take Icepaw with them, since she doesn't go out much because Whitewing is in the nursery, and he says she can. Graystripe tells Icepaw to stop batting a piece of bark around and to go on the hunting patrol with Dustpelt, Cloudtail, and Brightheart.


 * His daughter, Briarkit, strays too close to a crack in the sunning area, and nearly gets bitten by an adder. Honeyfern knocked her out of the way, losing her life in the process.


 * The whole Clan is tense over Sol; no cat wants to go on a patrol and those on patrol already, come back very quickly. Graystripe advises Firestar to go ahead and judge Sol for the murder of Ashfur.


 * When Hollyleaf announces the truth about her parents, Graystripe is just mentioned staring, his yellow eyes blank with shock.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * Graystripe is seen complaining about the drought at the Gathering. He is crouched next to Lionblaze, who tells Graystripe that Jayfeather hasn't had any dreams from StarClan about the drought. He later rebukes Lionblaze when he overhears him muttering to himself about Squirrelflight and the lies she told everyone, claiming that her sister Leafpool's kits as her own, and he wondered why Firestar picked her to mentor Rosepetal.


 * When Lionblaze feels sorry for RiverClan, Graystripe retorts that everyone is starving, not just RiverClan, however they are suffering the most as they rely on one type of prey; fish.


 * When Jayfeather recalls how Firestar got attacked by a fox on the ShadowClan border, by the dead tree, Graystripe waited with him, Sandstorm and Thornclaw until Jayfeather arrived to attempt to save Firestar's life, but was unsuccessful. He later assisted Firestar back to camp.


 * Later, when a small fire breaks out in the camp, the Clan leader tells Jayfeather to get a patrol together and fetch water from the lake, but Graystripe disagrees and quickly tells everyone to kick dust on it.


 * When this doesn't work, they are all about to start panicking and Jayfeather moves towards the entrance to obey Firestar's order, Lionblaze and Cloudtail arrive with wet moss and the fire is put out safely.


 * When Dovepaw returns from hunting, and Graystripe praises her catch, and touches Millie on the shoulder when she complains about the lack of rain. He also sypathises with Dovepaw when everyone else accuses her of making up stories about the brown animals blocking the stream between ShadowClan and ThunderClan, kindly saying that all the apprentices played games, he then heads to the warriors den with Millie.


 * When Dovepaw, along with Lionblaze, is chosen to go on the special mission upstream to find out what is blocking the stream, and some ThunderClan cats protest against Firestar's decision, he asks if ThunderClan doesn't trust its leader, which silences the protesters.

Fading Echoes

 * At the beginning of the book, Graystripe is seen trying to fix the holes in the nursery wall. He tells Blossompaw to help instead of playing with the leaves, and Blossompaw apologizes to him. Graystripe tells them that there are more holes in the wall than a rabbit warren, and that he wants all of the holes to be stuffed with leaves before the cold comes.


 * When Poppyfrost and her kits come out, they race right in front of Graystripe and he tells them to watch out.


 * When Ferncloud scents RiverClan, Graystripe was seen dropping onto all four paws, staring curiously.


 * He, Thornclaw, Dovepaw, Lionblaze, and Briarpaw patrol the ShadowClan border to check the scent markers.


 * Graystripe's daughter, Briarpaw, is severely injured when a beech tree falls on the camp. Lionblaze moves a heavy branch and Graystripe gently pulls Briarpaw out of the tree. She is stuck under it, along with Longtail, an elder. Due to the tree, her backbone was broken, giving her no ability to feel pain in her legs, as well as not being able to use them.


 * Ferncloud tries to comfort Graystripe and Millie, telling them that Leafpool is helping Jayfeather. He then is seen comforting his mate, Millie, as she is very distraught over her daughter's injuries.


 * Later in the book, he appears to be very proud as his kits earn their warrior names: Bumblestripe, Briarlight, and Blossomfall.

Night Whispers

 * Graystripe is first seen guarding the entrance of the camp with Hazeltail. Lionblaze asks Graystripe if anything has happened since he was on guard duty, and Graystripe tells him nothing. When Lionblaze mentions prey, Graystripe says, "Mmm, prey," and licks his lips.


 * When Cinderheart and Lionblaze sneak out of the camp, Graystripe asks them where they are going, and Cinderheart tells him that they can't sleep.


 * On the way back to camp, Lionblaze ignores Graystripe and Hazeltail's welcome.


 * Graystripe pads past Ivypaw and Dovepaw, towards the warriors den. He glances towards the sky and says, "The chill is here to stay. Prey will be scarce before long." Then, he brushes muzzles with Millie, and tells her that she's warm. Millie tells Graystripe to go get some rest and she'll catch something nice for him when he wakes up.


 * In a dream Spottedleaf sent to Jayfeather, Dark Forest cats flood the ThunderClan camp, and Graystripe is seen fighting with a brown-pelted tom. He lunges for Graystripe's neck, and flings Graystripe, flailing to his death.


 * When Millie says that she has no faith in StarClan, Graystripe asks her if that was what she really thought about StarClan. She tells him that all she sees is her kit, broken and helpless, but Graystripe says that Briarlight's alive and with them.


 * He was seen standing alone in the clearing as the snow falls.


 * Before the foxes show up, Millie was seen sliding down the slope, right behind her was Graystripe with Brightheart, and their pelts were bristling.


 * After the battle with the foxes, Brambleclaw tells Graystripe to go find Firestar's patrol and tell them what happened.


 * Graystripe was in the rescue patrol, consisting of Firestar, Birchfall, and Brambleclaw. He sniffs Lionblaze and asks what happened to him. Lionblaze tells them that they chased the fox out of their territory, and Graystripe guides Lionblaze towards the thorn barrier and tells him to go see Jayfeather, and that Cinderheart's been preparing herbs for him. Graystripe nudges Lionblaze and tells him that they'll bring him home.

Sign of the Moon

 * Around the beginning of the book, Brambleclaw tells Graystripe to lead the dawn patrol.

Cats of the Clans

 * Rock questions whether Graystripe has any enemies, and that Graystripe was the first cat to befriend Firestar. Rock says that he and Firestar share the same kind of foolish generosity. He also says that Graystripe's life was not all full of heroics, however; he fell in love with a RiverClan cat, Silverstream.


 * Rock says that after fathering Silverstream's kits, he chose to take them to RiverClan. According to the old cat, this was probably for the best as ThunderClan are not always so welcoming to half-Clan cats.


 * Graystripe's choice to stay with his kits tore him apart, as he lost not only his birth Clan, but his best friend, Firestar. However, he later returns to his Clan when he realizes his loyalties lie with ThunderClan still, and not with RiverClan.


 * Rock says that now Millie is Graystripe's new mate, and he hopes that Graystripe will never forget how far Millie traveled with him, and how much she gave up, to bring him home to his Clan.


 * On Tallstar's page, Rock says that Graystripe and Firestar risked their lives to bring WindClan back home to the forest.


 * Rock says, on Crookedstar's page, that Crookedstar was less welcoming to Graystripe when he crossed the river with Stormfur and Feathertail.


 * On Silverstream's page, Rock says that she helped Graystripe out of the river before he drowned, and he fathered her kits. He says that Silverstream will always be a RiverClan cat, while Graystripe was rooted into the forest, as deeply as the oaks.

Battles of the Clans

 * Graystripe narrates the battle against the foxes. He represents ThunderClan at a Gathering while Firestar and Sandstorm are away. The Gathering is held at Snakerocks since foxes have made their dens at Fourtrees.


 * The other Clans are nervous about being so far into ThunderClan territory. In response to that, Graystripe has an idea about driving the foxes out.


 * The cats agree to attack when the foxes are focused on hunting or something of that nature since foxes are most aggressive when they are in their dens, guarding their kits. They will use each Clan's strengths to drive them out together and Graystripe would lead them into a battle for their homes.


 * Cloudtail leads the patrol consisting of Graystripe, Mousefur, her apprentice Spiderpaw, and Brightheart with her keen nose. Graystripe is happy when they see a flash of red fur and sends Mousefur with the dead rabbit since she is faster than him.


 * She leads the foxes to the ShadowClan ambush. Then Graystripe joins Mistyfoot and RiverClan and his patrol distracts the four foxes while WindClan attack the dens. The ambush traps the foxes.


 * Blackstar and Graystripe order the foxes to leave and never come back and they reatreat. Blackstar congratulates Graystripe, saying Firestar would be proud.

The Lost Warrior

 * In the "prologue" of the book, Graystripe is first seen helping save the cats from the Twolegs. When he tries to help Brightheart escape, he gets caught in the back of the truck, while she jumps out. In the first chapter, Graystripe has a flashback of when him and Firestar first met, and when the fire spread throughout ThunderClan camp. Graystripe wakes up to find himself in a Twoleg house. He is determined not to live the life of a kittypet and to find his way back to ThunderClan. He notices that he is starting to get softer and chases butterflies around, when he realizes only kits do that. He ends up getting into a fight with another kittypet named Duke, and loses. Then he meets Millie, who tells him that nobody ever wins a fight against Duke.


 * She leads him back to his Twoleg nest. He comments, "Lose a fight with a kittypet, then get too lost to find my way back here? I want to curl up somewhere and die." A few days later, Millie shows him a forest to make him happy. In that forest, Graystripe teaches Millie how to hunt and fight. Eventually, Duke sees them practicing and taunts them.


 * This time, it is three on two, as the black and white colored kittypet had brought some of his friends with him this time. While Millie fights off Duke's friends, Graystripe aims for Duke. This time, he wins.


 * Graystripe does not think that he is a warrior anymore, until Silverstream appears to him in a dream and tells him to return to ThunderClan. Millie doesn't come to accompany him on his journey at first, but after ten days, she catches up to him. Until then, Graystripe is so lost that he wanders in circles for days, starving and hallucinating. He thinks he saw Firestar, then imagines he heard Sandstorm, Cloudtail, and Bluestar's voices. Millie's eventually gets louder than the rest of them.


 * Millie wonders who Silverstream was, so Graystripe explains that she was his first mate, but died giving birth to his kits. He says he would never stop loving Silverstream, but since he met Millie, he isn't lonely anymore. Millie says that if Graystripe needed help, he had her.

Warrior's Refuge

 * Graystripe and Millie continue in their journey to find ThunderClan.


 * In the beginning, Graystripe and Millie are seen climbing up a brick wall and overlooking a huge Thunderpath. Graystripe tells Millie that they have to cross the Thunderpath, and Millie gets scared and asks if there was a second way to cross. Graystripe tells her that he'll help her across the Thunderpath and to just stay with him when they crossed. He asks Millie if she trusted him and she told him that she did. When Graystripe is in the middle of crossing the Thunderpath, he loses Millie, but when he looks she's still standing on the side of the Thunderpath. Millie tells Graystripe that its so loud and it smells so awful, but Graystripe tells her its not safe to stay there so they both cross the Thunderpath together.


 * He and Millie are separated in a corn field, after running from a huge combine. Graystripe runs into a barn in search of help to find Millie and enlists the help of cats living in the barn. The cats are Husker, his mate Moss, Moss' brother Splash, and their kits, Birdy, Pad, Raindrop, and Little Mew. The cats used to live in a house with the twolegs until new twolegs came and kicked them out.


 * One day Graystripe and Millie see the twoleg kit who is following a frog. The twoleg kit is going to fall into a pond and possibly drown because its parents aren't looking. Graystripe acts as cute as he can and gets the kit to leave the pond and come to him. The twolegs are very grateful to Graystripe and befriends him. Graystripe then gets the idea to bring them to the barn to see the other cats. He convinces Moss to bring her kits down and she does. Husker comes back and is mad at Graystripe, but calms down when he sees that the twolegs aren't harming his kits. Having done their job and ready to leave, Graystripe and Millie leave the barn behind.


 * Graystripe and Millie find the Great Sycamore tree, and Graystripe discovers the old ThunderClan camp, which is now deserted.

Warrior's Return

 * Graystripe sees that ThunderClan's camp has been destroyed, and that only the medicine cats' den made it through. He and Millie sleep in the medicine den.
 * Graystripe remarks that now he had lost Silverstream, he feels as if he had lost everything else, as well.


 * He and Millie go to the barn on WindClan territory, where they meet Ravenpaw and Barley. They offer to let Millie and Graystripe stay the night, and the next morning, they give him directions to where the Clans went. Ravenpaw and Barley told Graystripe and Millie that they will travel with them as far as highstones, then go back to their barn.


 * Graystripe and Millie go to Mac's Truckstop, where Millie gets food from a Twoleg house, because she's so hungry. She tells Graystripe that he should go in and eat too. When he does, he gets chased out by a Twoleg, and gets no food. Graystripe gets furious at Millie for even letting him go in there, and storms off, and gets hit by a monster, and is wounded.


 * The two cats stay at the truck stop while Graystripe heals. During this, Graystripe thinks of ways of how to tell Millie how he feels about her. He also soon becomes jealous of Diesel since he and Millie had become close friends. Graystripe later reveals his feelings to Millie and learns that she feels the same towards him. After he heals, he and Millie ride on a monster to sun-drown-place.


 * After, they meet a rogue who tells them that he saw the Clans coming through. They arrive at the Clans' new home, and see the cats on the way to the Gathering. Then, before they go down, Graystripe asks Millie to be his mate, and she accepts. Then, they go to the island, and see the Clans.


 * At the very end of the book, Graystripe tells Firestar and the other Clans that there is someone that he wants them to meet, which is Millie.

A Clan in Need

 * Graystripe is seen on a hunting patrol with Cloudtail, Ravenpaw, and Barley. He fights against the rogues when they attack and try to steal their prey. Graystripe notices that one of the rogues seemed to have recognized Barley and he asks Barley if he knew any of them.

The Heart of a Warrior

 * The next morning he fights the rogues along with the rest of the patrol. Graystripe flees when Firestar tells them to retreat, because there are too many rogues.


 * Graystripe is seen fighting along with the other ThunderClan cats when they attack the rogues for a second time. He later leaves with the rest of the ThunderClan cats once the rogues had left the barn for good.
