Reedwhisker

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

Forest of Secrets

 * Reedwhisker was one of Mistyfoot's kits that were floating on some Twoleg rubbish, twigs, and some leaves. It broke apart, dropping the gray kit into the rapid water. Graystripe went after the drowning kit while Fireheart looked after Reedkit. They were later returned to Mistyfoot.

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 hits his head and falls partially unconscious. After Mistyfoot pulls him out with Leafpaw, Hawkfrost and Mothwing arrive to help. Mothwing, the medicine cat apprentice, panics and forgets her training. Leafpaw takes over and saves him with the advice of her guardian, Spottedleaf, who was also her father's friend before she was killed by a ShadowClan warrior in Into the Wild. Mistyfoot, who is also Reedpaw's mother, escorts him home alongside Hawkfrost.
 * When Brightheart and Cloudtail go missing, Leafpaw wonders if they fell in the river, like Reedpaw did.

Twilight

 * He receives his warrior name, Reedwhisker, sometime in between Starlight and Twilight.
 * Reedwhisker first appears when he is sent to help Mothwing and Leafpool when the cats of RiverClan fall ill, along with his mother Mistyfoot. He asks Leafpool if she remembers who he is, because she pulled him out of the river when he was still a young apprentice. He reveals he is a warrior when she says she doesn't. He offers to collect yarrow and juniper berries for Leafpool and Mothwing with his apprentice, Ripplepaw, while Mistyfoot goes to explore the territory for anything that would've caused the sickness in the camp.

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.

Eclipse

 * Reedwhisker is seen with Mosspelt when they go and 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 had claimed the lake at the Gathering. Then Cloudtail says that they're just going to the lake for water, he hesitates, but then agrees to let them only take some water.


 * Soon after, 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.


 * Later, his former apprentice, Rippletail, is killed by the beavers.

Fading Echoes

 * Reedwhisker is named deputy by Mistystar after Leopardstar dies.

Battles of the Clans

 * Reedwhisker is revealed to be Mistystar's new deputy. He does not appear, nor is mentioned.

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.

Trivia

 * He has ThunderClan blood, since his grandmother, Bluestar, was born in ThunderClan.
 * In an Erin Hunter Chat, it was revealed that Reedwhisker would become deputy after Leopardstar's death and Mistyfoot's promotion to leader in the upcoming book, Fading Echoes.
 * In the same chat, it was revealed that he is Mistyfoot's son.
 * Kate Cary wishes that three of the four of Mistystar's kits would be Graymist, Rippletail, and Reedwhisker, but it has not been approved. Also, Rippletail is younger than Reedwhisker.
