Oakheart/Main article

Oakheart is a large, thick and sleek-furred, plump, dark reddish-brown tom. He has a broad head and shoulders, massive paws, and clear amber eyes.

He is born as Oakkit to Rainflower and Shellheart, along with his brother, Stormkit. When he and Stormkit sneak out of camp to Sunningrocks, they disturb Goosefeather who is out collecting herbs. Goosefeather chases them back to the stepping stones, and along the way, Stormkit slips and falls, breaking his jaw. Oakkit stays very close to his brother during his recovery, but when Hailstar renames Stormkit to Crookedkit, Oakkit gets named an apprentice Oakpaw, and receives his father, Shellheart, as a mentor.

When Crookedkit returns from living away from RiverClan with loners, Oakpaw receives his warrior name, Oakheart, for defeating dogs on a patrol. He tells Crookedpaw that he'll get his name next, and Rainflower pulls Oakheart aside, cruelly telling him that Crookedpaw will never be as good as him due to his injury. When Crookedjaw receives his warrior name, Oakheart congratulates him, and says that it's Rainflower's loss if she can't be proud of Crookedjaw.

Oakheart grows very close with a ThunderClan warrior, Bluefur, often sneaking off in the night to see her. She gets pregnant with his kits, and when she decides to give them to RiverClan, he supports her lovingly and takes Mistykit and Stonekit to Graypool to foster, mourning the loss of his third kit, Mosskit.

During a battle between RiverClan and ThunderClan over Sunningrocks, he is crushed by a rockfall, but ends up in a conspiracy that Tigerclaw made up, where Oakheart killed Redtail and Tigerclaw killed Oakheart to get revenge. He goes to StarClan, and when Bluestar dies, he guides her to StarClan where they become mates again.

 * quote b = I've got other things to worry about.
 * speaker c = Oakheart
 * quote c = Really? You can't avoid her forever, you know. She's going to be racing around camp playing hunt the frog before you know it. Don't you want her to know who her father is?
 * speaker d = Crookedstar
 * quote d = What? Like your kits knew who their father was?
 * speaker e = Oakheart
 * quote e = That was different. I was always there for them, hunting for them, playing with them. Silverkit hardly knows you exist.
 * speaker f = Crookedstar
 * quote f = Leave me alone. It's none of your business.
 * speaker g = Oakheart
 * quote g = Actually it is my business. You're my littermate! Silverkit is my kin, too! You're being a fish-brain and every cat knows it. I'm just the only cat brave enough to tell you!
 * speaker h = Crookedstar
 * quote h = Brave? You? You couldn't even tell me that Bluestar was expecting your kits. If she hadn't dumped them on you so she could be deputy, it'd still be a secret. [...] Don't pretend you understand how I feel, because you don't!
 * speaker i = Oakheart
 * quote i = No, I don't! But I do understand there's a kit in there whose father doesn't want anything to do with her. How can you lead a Clan when you won't even take responsibility for your own kit?
 * speaker j = Crookedstar
 * quote j = Like you did?
 * speaker k = Oakheart
 * quote k = Like I've done! I don't know how you can let her grow up thinking you don't love her. You, more than anyone, should know how terrible that feels. But you're doing it to your own kit.
 * speaker l = Crookedstar
 * quote l = How dare you accuse me of that? [...] How can I love her when every cat I love dies?
 * speaker m = Oakheart
 * quote m = I'm still here.
 * speaker n = Crookedstar
 * quote n = You're here for now.
 * speaker o = Oakheart
 * quote o = It's a risk every cat has to take. Would you rather have no feelings at all? Do you wish you'd never loved Willowbreeze? Where's your courage, Crookedstar?
