Moonlight/Main article

Moonlight is a huge gray she-cat.

She was the former leader of the Sisters. She gave birth to Tree and an unnamed daughter but abandoned Tree in the forest when he was old enough to hunt. In the moons that pass, she meets a kittypet named Jack and becomes pregnant with his kits. After coming close to Clan territory, Moonlight refused to let the Sisters move because the Clans wanted them to and reunites with Tree, but her son condemns her for abandoning him. When a war breaks out to drive out the Sisters, Moonlight goes into labor and gives birth to Leaf, Squirrel, and Moon, but dies due to injuries sustained during the battle.

A Vision of Shadows

 * While not appearing the arc itself, she is mentioned numerous times by her son, Tree, who explains that she taught him how to hunt, and later abandoned him, taking his sister with her to parts unknown. Tree resents his mother for ditching him as soon as he could hunt.

 * In Squirrelflight's Hope, Moonlight is the heavily pregnant leader of the Sisters, and shows distrust of the Clans. After the Sisters take Squirrelflight and Leafstar captive, she briefly reunites with Tree, but her son condemns her for abandoning him as a kit, but Moonlight defends her actions and refuses to move her group until her kits are born. Attempts at a peaceful resolution cannot be brought forth due to the Clans' unwillingless to work together, Tree's bias towards his mother, and Moonlight's stubbornness.


 * Eventually, tensions between the Clans grow to a point where they are willing to force out the Sisters, but Moonlight, long overdue for her kits, goes into labor, giving birth to two she-cats and a tom, but as soon as they are born, she leaves her kits and goes to fight in the fight instigated by the Clans, but dies due to her injuries.
