Willowbreeze

Willowbreeze is a pale, silver-gray, tabby she-cat with amber eyes.

Crookedstar's Promise

 * Willowkit was born to Fallowtail and Reedfeather along with her sister, Graykit. When she was two moons old Willowkit and Graykit were almost attacked by a heron but they were saved when Crookedkit dived on top of them and risked his own pelt to save theirs. As a young kit, she and her sister were taken back by their WindClan father, Reedfeather, from their RiverClan mother, Fallowtail. Reedfeather stated that he had much claim over the kits as Fallowtail did. The Clan argues, but Fallowtail stops them, not wanting to cause an unnecessary battle over them. Willowkit and her sister beg to stay, but Reedfeather takes them away anyways, promising RiverClan that they would be well cared for in WindClan. Crookedpaw was also shown to be very disappointed that they were gone.


 * Later, Willowkit and Graykit are taken back by Hailstar and his Clanmates when they sneaked into the WindClan camp and fled. After Hailstar nearly killed Reedfeather, she and her sister stare at their father's limp body, wondering if he's dead and Willowkit is quickly relieved when she sees that he's breathing. Willowkit and Graykit are overjoyed to see Fallowtail again, proving that they had still missed her.


 * Willowkit then becomes an apprentice, Willowpaw, and her mentor is Owlfur. On her first day as an apprentice, Willowpaw travels to the Moonstone with her sister and Crookedpaw, along with her mentor. While on their way, Crookedpaw spots prey and stalks it but it later appears to be a rabbit and runs past him. The rabbit runs straight toward Willowpaw and she catches it with a swift bite to the neck, killing it, proving her WindClan heritage. Everyone is shocked at this since no RiverClan cat can catch a rabbit, but no one says anything. Noticing their stares, Willowpaw says that it's still fresh-kill and they might as well eat it.


 * She helps her Clanmates fight off a dog, following Crookedpaw's plan to lure the dog into a pack of warriors using Softwing and Shimmerpelt, two of the fastest warriors in the Clan. During the attack, Willowpaw is cornered by the dog. Before the dog can do anything, Crookedpaw lures the dog away, saving her life and earning his warrior name, Crookedjaw. Willowpaw begins to show feelings towards Crookedjaw, which his brother, Oakheart, teases him about.


 * Crookedjaw helps Willowpaw with her warrior assessment, trying to help her learn the hunting crouch. Willowpaw is frustrated with it at first, but eventually she gets the hang of it. Thanks to Crookedjaw's training, she catches a bird during her assessment. She passes it, and receives Willowbreeze as her warrior name in honor of her WindClan heritage. Her sister becomes Graypool, after her RiverClan blood.


 * Later, Willowbreeze goes out with Crookedjaw and a few warriors on patrol, soon after her warrior ceremony. Mapleshade, the cat Crookedjaw had been training with, appears when a Twoleg kit had dropped its ball. Mapleshade dived for the ball and quickly sent it rolling in a different direction. The Twoleg kit tripped and began to cry. An adult Twoleg came to see the kit crying and picked it up. Then it spotted Willowbreeze, and snatched her, then headed to its Twoleg pelt-den.


 * After Willowbreeze is taken, Crookedjaw and Graypool follow the Twoleg to its pelt-den. They peer inside and see Willowbreeze inside a "trap," meaning a cage. The Twolegs were teasing her, but not hurting her. They soon left the room. Seeing their chance, Crookedjaw and Graypool quickly sneak in and open the latch of the cage. The Twolegs heard them, but the cats had already left.


 * Later in the story, Willowbreeze announces that she is having kits. An excited Crookedstar spreads the word. Moons later, Willowbreeze gave birth to three kits. They name them Minnowkit, Silverkit, and Willowkit, Willowkit being named after her mother. Brambleberry soon discovers Willowbreeze has greencough, and it spread to Willowkit and Minnowkit. Silverkit is moved to the elders den to prevent the illness from being spread. After a short amount of time, Willowbreeze, Minnowkit, and Willowkit die. A grief-stricken Crookedstar knows that their deaths was Mapleshade's doing for making a promise to be loyal to his Clan more than everything else, thus sacrificing all he loved. Silverkit, however, survived.


 * In the manga, Willowbreeze is seen welcoming Crookedstar to StarClan. She walks up to him and greets him warmly.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Her sister is Graykit, and her mother is Fallowtail.

Battles of the Clans

 * She and her sister, Graykit, were given to their WindClan father, Reedfeather, by Hailstar when he comes to RiverClan demanding them. Hailstar secretly leads a raiding party to steal the two kits back. Hailstar finds them, along with Timberfur and Ottersplash, and they threaten to kill two WindClan warriors to get away alive. They get back to RiverClan after a fight.


 * Later, at the end of their apprenticeship, the kits' mother, Fallowtail, comes to Hailstar, asking that Graypaw be named Graypool and Willowpaw be named Willowbreeze, so they will remember forever that they carry the strength of both the wind and the water within their souls.
