Graypool/Main article

Graypool is a dark gray she-cat with yellow eyes.

Graypool was a RiverClan warrior under Hailstar's and Crookedstar's leaderships in the forest territories. She was born as Graykit in RiverClan to Fallowtail of RiverClan and Reedfeather of WindClan, along with her sister Willowkit. Reedfeather claimed the right to his kits as their father and took them to live with him in WindClan, but Hailstar stole them back. She became an apprentice named Graypaw with Brightsky as her mentor. When Brightsky died during her kitting, Graypaw briefly received Piketooth as her new mentor. She later earned her warrior name of Graypool. She bore Rippleclaw's kits, Morningkit and Splashkit, but they died very shortly after being kitted. She later had another kit who also died shortly after birth, and adopted Mistykit and Stonekit when Oakheart discovered them. Graypool eventually retired to the elders den when she began to lose her memory.

Tigerstar, ShadowClan's leader, ran into her at Fourtrees, where she mistook him for Oakheart. She revealed the secret of the ThunderClan kits she adopted, but realized that she wasn't talking to Oakheart when Tigerstar pushed for more information. Graypool slipped trying to get away and hit her head on a rock, dying instantly. Fireheart discovered her, and alerted her death to Graystripe and Mistyfoot who mourned her back in RiverClan's camp. After her death, Graypool ascended to StarClan.
