Runningwind

Runningwind is a swift light brown tabby tom.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * He is seen in the book as Runningkit, when White-eye gives birth to him and his sister, Mousekit. Their father is Sparrowpelt. It is mentioned that Mousekit and he were flicking snow on Bluefur's kits.

Into the Wild

 * Runningwind is first seen in Into the Wild as a young warrior.


 * When ThunderClan returns from a Gathering, after Brokenstar announces that a ShadowClan cat had gone rogue and was a threat to kits, Runningwind is seen poking his head out of the warriors den and asking his upset Clan what had happened.


 * He was later one one of the cats raiding ShadowClan to get Frostfur's kits back.

Fire and Ice

 * When Bluestar chose Fireheart and Graystripe to mentor Brackenpaw and Cinderpaw, Tigerclaw tried to convince her that Runningwind should mentor one of them. Bluestar disagreed, stating that even though Runningwind is a strong warrior, she believe that he has no patience for apprentices.


 * When Graystripe catches a cold and is unable to train Brackenpaw, Runningwind assists Fireheart in training the young cat and later assists in Cinderpaw's training.


 * Later on, Runningwind has his doubts that Cloudkit, who was then a nameless kittypet, could ever become a warrior. He stated that the fluffy tom would eat all of the fresh-kill during the worst of leaf-bare and then catch Greencough. Runningwind also stated that he believed that the kit wouldn't make it until the next morning. Throughout this book, Runningwind is a friend of Fireheart and Graystripe.

Forest of Secrets

 * Runningwind continues to be friendly to Fireheart, although he seems annoyed at Fireheart's apprentice, Cloudpaw, because he doesn't always follow the Warrior Code and he has little respect for authority. When Fireheart asks him to take Cloudpaw hunting he agrees hesitatingly.

Rising Storm

 * Runningwind went on patrol with Mousefur and her apprentice Thornpaw. He disappeared when the patrol was attacked by Tigerclaw and his rogues. When Fireheart came back with Mousefur and Whitestorm they found him dead with Whitethroat above him. He was then taken back to camp before being buried by the elders.

The Darkest Hour

 * Runningwind gave Firestar his fourth life during his leader ceremony. With it he gave the gift of tireless energy, so that the new leader could serve his Clan to the utmost. During the battle with BloodClan, Firestar senses Runningwind fighting and running along side him, as though he were really next to him.
