Softwing

Softwing is a small, lithe, white she-cat with light brown tabby patches.

Crookedstar's Promise

 * Softpaw is first seen going to weave reeds with Whitepaw into the tattered apprentice's den after the storm that destroyed RiverClan's camp. The kits volunteer to help them, and Softaw peers out from the structure, asking if they have a whole reed. Her tail quivers, signaling sarcasm, and she adds that they'll be finished quite quickly with help like this.


 * She is briefly mentioned to be on the dawn patrol with Whitepaw.


 * Softpaw drags stale moss from the elders' den, while the elders share fresh-kill with Hailstar and Shellheart. Her mentor, Fallowtail, waits at the entrance. Fallowtail calls to her apprentice, asking if she's almost done, for she wants to teach her a new battle move. Softpaw answers that it won't be long.


 * After Rainflower has convinced Hailstar to rename Stormkit Crookedkit, Hailstar gets ready to call a Clan meeting. Softpaw lifts her chin and hisses to Whitepaw that they might be getting their warrior names. Whitepaw glances at his mentor, but the guess turns out to be wrong.


 * Later, Fallowtail is teaching Softpaw how to climb a tree, and she complains that RiverClan cats shouldn't need to climb, because it wasn't natural for them.


 * When Crookedkit returns to RiverClan, Softpaw has already received her warrior name, Softwing.


 * Later, Softwing takes a mate, Owlfur, and together they have two daughters, Mallowkit and Dawnkit.


 * She does not appear in the Original Series, suggesting she must've died between this book and Into the Wild.

Trivia

 * Although she makes an appearance in Crookedstar's Promise and is in the allegiances, she is not listed in the allegiances in Bluestar's Prophecy. However, this could be because in Bluestar's Prophecy, only ThunderClan's full allegiance was shown.
 * She has been mistakenly described as only white.
 * It states that in Crookedstar's Promise that her kits had died but they became warriors.
