Hawkheart

Hawkheart is a mottled dark brown tom with yellow eyes.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Hawkheart is first seen as the medicine cat of WindClan. It is revealed by Swiftbreeze, a warrior of ThunderClan, that he used to be the fiercest WindClan warrior, until StarClan called him to be a medicine cat. It is likely that he still wants to be a warrior because of his aggressive behavior.


 * When Bluepaw is helping drag the wounded Leopardpaw away from the battle between ThunderClan and WindClan, Hawkheart sees her and gasps, "ThunderClan has brought kits!". After Bluepaw tells the medicine cat that she isn't a kit, he begins stalking towards her tauting her, ready to fight, figuring that she will not know any fighting moves. Heatherstar, WindClan's leader, stops him, telling him he needed to help the injured cats. Just then, the ThunderClan cats break into the medicine den to destory his herbs. Hawkheart is forced to leave, and Bluepaw escapes, unharmed. Bluepaw is unsure that he is a medicine cat and Swiftbreeze explains his past.


 * Later, Hawkheart is seen attacking Bluepaw's mother, Moonflower, as she appeared from his den. He wounds her, and flings her across the blood slicked clearing, and in the end, kills her. When Bluepaw says that Moonflower should not have died, Hawkheart claimed the apprentice's mother destroyed the medicine supplies and that was reason enough to kill her. Bluepaw then says that StarClan gave Goosefeather, the ThunderClan medicine cat, a sign that they had to attack; Hawkheart snorts and says, "You would risk so much on the word of Goosefeather?"


 * At a Gathering a few moons later, he taunts Bluepaw, calling her a kit-warrior. Sunfall, the ThunderClan deputy, then tells Bluepaw that StarClan will be the one to judge him for his actions.


 * During a later Gathering, when Crookedpaw, an apprentice of RiverClan, asks why Bluepaw says Hawkheart's name hatefully, she tells him that Hawkheart killed her mother.

Trivia
