Reedwhisker

Reedwhisker is a sleek, black tom with small, neat ears and blue eyes.

Forest of Secrets

 * He was one of Mistyfoot's two kits that were washed away by the flood, and rescued by Fireheart and Graystripe.

Moonrise

 * Reedpaw is seen as a young apprentice.


 * He accidentally falls into the river while swimming, which is somewhat ironic since in Forest of Secrets, he was washed away by a flood. He then hit his head and partially fell unconscious. After Hawkfrost and Mothwing helped pull him out, Leafpaw saves him with the advice of her guardian, Spottedleaf. Mothwing, who was an apprentice medicine cat, panics and forgets her training, and was pushed aside by her brother. Mistyfoot, Reedpaw's mother was also present and escorts him home.

Twilight

 * When Leafpool arives to help the sick RiverClan cats, Reedwhisker reveals that he is now a warrior, and once more thanks her for saving his life. He acts extremely friendly and volunteers to help Leafpool and Mothwing with the epidemic in RiverClan, gathering yarrow with the help of his apprentice, Ripplepaw.

The Sight

 * He also has a new apprentice, Pouncepaw.

Dark River

 * When Hollypaw wanders into the RiverClan camp, Reedwhisker confronts her, asking why she is there and trying to prevent Voletooth from attacking her. After she explains, he instructs her to go back to the Island and wash off the otter dung she had used to disguise her scent off.

Eclipse

 * Reedwhisker is seen with Mosspelt when they go help WindClan with the battle against ThunderClan and ShadowClan. He makes only one remark, reminding her to be silent during the attack. It is noted that all the RiverClan cats are increasingly uncomfortable in the thick undergrowth. He is beaten by Lionpaw in a fight.

Sunrise

 * When Blackstar, Onestar, and Leopardstar come to tell Firestar to get rid of Sol, Reedwhisker appears to help defend his leader. He along with Leopardstar and the others argue fiercely against ThunderClan taking in the rogue.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * Reedwhisker appears when a ThunderClan patrol goes to the lake for water. He seems to be very hostile, and reminds them that Leopardstar claimed the lake at the Gathering. But when Cloudtail says that they're just going to the lake for water, he hesitates, but then agrees to let them take some water.


 * Later, Dovepaw sees him on a patrol with Mistyfoot and Mothwing, using her extra-sensitive senses. When Dovepaw senses the sick cat in RiverClan she can also hear Reedwhisker, Mothwing, and Mistyfoot talking about Leopardstar's state. He is clearly worried about his leader and thinks she might die. He then asks Mothwing how many lives Leopardstar has left. It is made clear that he is very respected in the Clan.


 * His former apprentice, Rippletail, is killed by the beavers.

Battles of the Clans

 * He is revealed to be Mistystar's new deputy.

Ultimate Leader Election: Firestar

 * When he votes for Firestar, Reedwhisker says "You saved my life once before, in the flood. I believe you can do it again." Thus, it is believed that he was one of Mistyfoot's kits who were washed away in the flood in Forest of Secrets, and rescued by Fireheart and Graystripe.

Erin Hunter Chat

 * In an Erin Hunter chat, it was revealed that he would become deputy after Leopardstar's death and Mistyfoot's promotion to leader in the upcoming Fading Echoes. In the same chat, it was revealed that he is Mistyfoot's son. In the 6th Erin Hunter chat Kate Cary wishes that three of the four of Mistystar's kits would be Graymist, Rippletail, and Reedwhisker.
