Willowbreeze/Main article

Willowbreeze is a pale silver-gray tabby she-cat with soft fur and amber eyes.

She is born as Willowkit to Fallowtail of RiverClan and Reedfeather of WindClan, along with her sister Graykit. When Reedfeather reveals himself to be their father, he takes she and her sister away to WindClan, claiming right to them as their father. Hailstar eventually goes to retrieve them back, and they are reunited with their mother. She becomes an apprentice of RiverClan, now known as Willowpaw, and is given Owlfur as a mentor. During her apprenticeship, she becomes quite close with Crookedpaw, and the two flirt frequently together. When he becomes a warrior, she remarks that she'll miss him in the apprentices' den.

Eventually, she earns her warrior name, Willowbreeze, and becomes mates with Crookedstar after he becomes leader. While pregnant with his kits, she develops a cough that steadily gets worse. She has her kits, and Brambleberry announces that her cough has turned into greencough and that her body is rejecting the catmint given to her. Together, she and Crookedstar name their kits Minnowkit, Willowkit, and Silverkit, and Crookedstar spends the night with her. She passes away during the night, leaving Crookedstar distraught. Minnowkit and Willowkit die shortly after her, leaving Crookedstar to raise Silverkit by himself.
