Whitestorm/Main article

Whitestorm is a white tom with yellow eyes.

Whitekit is born to Snowfur and Thistleclaw. Shortly after his birth, his mother is killed by a monster, traumatizing the young kit. Robinwing takes in the orphaned kit, but it is Bluefur who mainly takes care of him.

Whitekit becomes an apprentice named Whitepaw, and he is mentored by the senior warrior Patchpelt. Afterwards, he earns his warrior name Whitestorm, and maintains the close relationship he has with his aunt, Bluestar. Whitestorm is shown to be a patient and humble cat, wise beyond his years.

Whitestorm becomes mates with Brindleface and she bears him four kits: Fernkit, Ashkit, Elderkit, and Tulipkit. He becomes a senior warrior and gains the apprentice Sandpaw. He accompanies Lionheart to take the kittypet, Rusty, back to the ThunderClan camp. Firepaw slowly but surely earns the senior warrior's respect. Sandpaw becomes Sandstorm, and Whitestorm is granted a second apprentice; Brightpaw. When Fireheart becomes deputy, Whitestorm shows no resentment even though he was the more popular choice among the Clan. He eventually becomes the sole cat Bluestar trusts, and often tries to take care of her and reassure her when she doubts her own Clan's loyalty. He and his mate, Willowpelt, have three kits, who ultimately become Sorreltail, Sootfur and Rainwhisker.

When Bluestar dies, Whitestorm in particular is devastated, blaming himself for not watching over his beloved aunt. Upon receiving his nine lives, Firestar appoints Whitestorm as the Clan deputy. Whitestorm is pleasantly surprised and humbly accepts the position. His former apprentice, Brightpaw, who gained the name of Lostface upon being scarred by dogs, is given the new warrior name of Brightheart, much to Whitestorm's content. However, the new deputy is killed in the battle against BloodClan by Bone, however, before he passes, he tells Firestar that he wishes for Graystripe to succeed him as deputy, knowing that the gray tom was Firestar's best friend, before he succumbs to his wounds and dies. He continues to watch over the Clans in StarClan.
