Cloudtail/Main article

Cloudtail is a heavy, snowy-white tom with blue eyes. He has fluffy, thick, and long fur.

Cloudtail is an elder of ThunderClan. He was the firstborn son of two kittypets, Princess and Oliver, and had four siblings named Zack, Nami, Livy, and Taylor. Princess gave her son to Fireheart to raise as a member of ThunderClan. He is given the name Cloudkit and Brindleface as his foster mother, along with two foster siblings, Ferncloud and Ashfur. He became an apprentice under Fireheart's guidance, given the name Cloudpaw. During his apprenticeship, Cloudpaw sneaked off to take food from Twolegs and was ultimately captured, but rescued by Fireheart, Sandstorm and Ravenpaw. Soon after, he became a warrior before the rest of his denmates, given the name Cloudtail. He cared for Brightpaw after she was attacked by dogs and helped her to see how beautiful she really was on the inside, even after Bluestar gave her the name Lostface. He vouched for Lostface's name to be changed to Brightheart, claiming that it suited her better. Cloudtail became mates with Brightheart, and they had a daughter, Whitewing, and the pair went on to have a second litter, consisting of Ambermoon, Dewnose, and Snowbush. He eventually retired with Brackenfur and Brightheart to the elders den.
