Palebird/Main article

Palebird is a thin, soft-furred, black-and-white she-cat.

Palebird was a WindClan warrior, a former tunneler, and the mother of Tallstar. Alongside Tallstar, she gave birth to a daughter, Finchkit, whose early death struck Palebird hard, causing her relationship with her son to be distant. She remained a queen even after he left the nursery, and when her mate, Sandgorse, was killed in a cave-in, Palebird found happiness with Woollytail. The two had four kits: Wrenflight, Flykit, Bristlekit, and Rabbitkit, and though her choice to start a new family deeply troubled Talltail, the two ultimately made amends.
