Graypool

Graypool is a gray she-cat with patched fur, a scarred muzzle turned white with age, and yellow eyes.

Forest of Secrets

 * When Oakheart took his and Bluestar's kits to RiverClan to become RiverClan kits, he gave them to Graypool, who was then a queen, to nurse and raise them. He told her that they were abandoned in the forest, not revealing his and Bluestar's secret love. And since she had just recently lost her kits, Graypool agrees to nurse them, though she refused to believe that a mother would abandoned her kits in the middle of the forest, during the middle of leaf-bare. She then smelled ThunderClan scent on them. The kits grew up to be Mistyfoot and Stonefur. They knew Graypool as their mother, not Bluestar, and since they had the same colored pelt they never questioned that she was their mother.


 * Graypool later told Fireheart about their heritage, because he wanted to know why, at the battle of Sunningrocks, Oakheart had told Redtail that "No ThunderClan cat will ever harm Stonefur." Graypool said to Fireheart that she is proud of her two foster kits, mentioning that they kind of look like her. Graypool also earns Fireheart's respect, and she gets him to promise he will never tell Mistyfoot and Stonefur of their divided heritage.

A Dangerous Path

 * Because of her age, Graypool's mind starts to give way and she takes to wandering around aimlessly all by herself. She finds the ShadowClan leader Tigerstar on the Twoleg bridge, and mistakes him for being Oakheart. She accidentally reveals the truth about ThunderClan kits in RiverClan. Fireheart watches in horror as she realizes Tigerstar isn't Oakheart, and she begins to back up as Tigerstar threatens her. She then slipped off the halfbridge, hitting her head on a rock and dying instantly. A short while later, Graystripe and Mistyfoot come by and bring her body back to the RiverClan camp after Fireheart explains that she had slipped, not mentioning Tigerstar, although he is worried that because he was nearby, he will be thought partly responsible for her death. Fireheart then asks if he can help bury Graypool, but Mistyfoot says that he has done enough.

Cats of the Clans

 * Rock tells the StarClan kits about how Oakheart gave his kits to Graypool to raise. He knew that she would smell their ThunderClan scent, but trusted her to keep quiet, as she would not purposely let two helpless kits die. No one questioned she was their mother, because of their similarly colored fur, and she treated them like any other RiverClan kits. Other than Bluestar and Oakheart, only Crookedstar and Graypool were the only cats who knew Mistyfoot and Stonefur's true heritage.

Battles of the Clans

 * She and her sister, Willowkit, were given to their WindClan father, Reedfeather, by Hailstar. Hailstar secretly leads a raiding party to steal the two kits back. Hailstar finds them, along with Timberfur and Ottersplash, and they threaten to kill two WindClan warriors to get away alive. They get back to RiverClan after a fight.


 * Later, at the end of their apprenticeship, their mother, Fallowtail, comes to Hailstar asking that Graypaw be named Graypool and Willowpaw be named Willowbreeze, so they will forever remember that they carry the strength of both the wind and the water within them.
