Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
"I've told you the most important lesson. To love. You must open yourself to love again. And I sent you the dream of Hawkfrost and Hollyleaf to show you how much you care about all your kits, whatever happens to them. You must reopen your heart to Breezepelt and be a father to him. [...] I'm proud of you, Crowfeather. At last, you're beginning to change."
— Ashfoot to Crowfeather in Crowfeather's Trial, pages 355-356


Ashfoot is a broad-faced[10] gray she-cat[12] with blue eyes.[13]

Ashfoot was a WindClan deputy under Onestar's leadership in the lake territories. She was born to Stagleap and Wrenflight along with her siblings Onestar and Morningflower. She later became an apprentice named Ashpaw with Larksplash as her mentor. Ashpaw became Ashfoot and afterwards became mates with Deadfoot. They eventually had kits, who they named Eaglekit, Hillkit, Downkit, and Crowkit. Ashfoot participated in the Great Journey, and was selected by Onestar to be his deputy after Tallstar's death and Mudclaw's rebellion. She acted as a voice of reason, helping ThunderClan find Sol. Ashfoot died fighting in the Great Battle, where she remained as a spirit, and her deputy position was succeeded by Harespring. From there, she taught Crowfeather to reopen his heart to love, and when her deed was finished, she managed to join the ranks of StarClan.

The Prophecies Begin[]

"Peace? Here? With fire and monsters? My kits won't be safe!"
―Ashfoot to Tallstar about their new shelter Fire and Ice, page 2
Ashfoot is a WindClan queen who has a kit. When Brokenstar and ShadowClan drive out WindClan from their territory, Ashfoot frets about the safety of her kit as the Clan travels through dangerous Twoleg territories. Tallstar and her mate, Deadfoot, insist they had no choice and they needed to escape, and Ashfoot begrudgingly holds her tongue. Later, Fireheart and Graystripe arrive to lead the Clan back to their home, and Ashfoot helps carry Morningflower's kit across a Thunderpath.

The New Prophecy[]

"You couldn't hope for a better sign than this. StarClan sent lightning to strike the tree and kill the cat who would have taken your place. There's no doubt now that you're the cat StarClan has chosen to lead WindClan."
―Ashfoot to Onewhisker Starlight, page 319
Ashfoot has given birth to another litter of kits, but only one, Crowkit, survives. Young Crowkit eventually becomes an apprentice named Crowpaw, who embarks on a journey to help save the Clans. She participates in the Great Journey to the lake territories. When Onewhisker is appointed leader by Tallstar, he announces Ashfoot to be his deputy, insisting he wanted a cat who is humble and does not yearn for power. Firestar and Brambleclaw quietly approve of Onewhisker not selecting an overly ambitious cat to help strengthen his leadership.
She participates in Mudclaw's rebellion and fights for Onewhisker. After Mudclaw is killed by a fallen tree, Ashfoot reminds her leader that Mudclaw was a traitor and that StarClan approved Onewhisker's leadership. She worries for her son when he disappears and wonders why he vanished with a ThunderClan medicine cat. She, Tornear, Squirrelflight, and Brambleclaw try follow Crowfeather and Leafpool's scent trail, but they quickly lose it.

Power of Three[]

"I want my own Clan to be safe. Sol must be dealt with before he causes more trouble."
―Ashfoot to Brambleclaw Sunrise, page 50
Ashfoot's son, Crowfeather, is now mates with Nightcloud, and Breezekit is their only surviving kit. During a border skirmish with ThunderClan on a piece of forest Firestar had given Onestar, Ashfoot fights Spiderleg and Thornclaw and insists they should take up the controversy with Firestar. She, Harespring, and Owlwhisker deny a ThunderClan patrol from seeing Onestar. Firestar and a patrol of ThunderClan cats later visit WindClan's camp to ask about Ashfur's murder, but Onestar orders Ashfoot to escort them out. Ashfoot orders Tornear and Breezepelt away so she can speak to Firestar alone. She explains how she saw Sol along their border a quarter-moon prior, but she did not want trouble between their two Clans, so she did not mention it. When Brambleclaw leads a patrol to find Sol, Ashfoot greets them and leads them to the horseplace where she last detected Sol's scent.

Omen of the Stars[]

"That's enough. We're working together now. The patrol must do whatever they can without risking their lives."
―Ashfoot to Mistyfoot and Russetfur when they fight The Fourth Apprentice, page 123
Lionblaze on reflects how he and Ashfoot are kin after discovering that Crowfeather is his father. Ashfoot brings Whitetail and Sedgewhisker to meet the others for their journey to the beaver dam. Ashfoot prevents a fight from escalating between Mistyfoot and Russetfur, and another outburst between Breezepelt and Jayfeather, two of her grandchildren. When Dovewing uses her powers to see the WindClan cats and Sol attacking through the tunnels, she notices how Ashfoot was not present, implying Sol only tricked some of WindClan to follow his lead. She participates in the battle against the Dark Forest, but is slain in the fight.

"I've told you the most important lesson. To love. You must open yourself to love again. And I sent you the dream of Hawkfrost and Hollyleaf to show you how much you care about all your kits, whatever happens to them. You must reopen your heart to Breezepelt and be a father to him."
―Ashfoot to Crowfeather about Breezepelt Crowfeather's Trial, page 355
In Crowfeather's Trial, shortly after the Great Battle, WindClan builds a memorial for those fallen in the fight, including Ashfoot. Crowfeather struggles to process the grief of losing his mother by himself, and secludes himself from Breezepelt and Nightcloud, both of whom he has a terrible relationship with. Ashfoot visits Crowfeather in his dreams and he notices how she does not bear the starry pelt of StarClan warriors. She insists she cannot leave for StarClan until her son is happy, and encourages him to compromise on his relationships with Nightcloud and his kits. She appears to him many times, every time telling him to love. Crowfeather disregards her message after understanding, thinking that every cat he loved died or went away from him. When he starts to take her message seriously, he reconciles and mends his relationships with Nightcloud and his kits. After he finally does, Ashfoot goes to StarClan at peace.

Stand-Alone Graphic Novels[]

"If [Onewhisker] dies before StarClan makes him a true leader, Ashfoot won't have any right to succeed him. If she survives, that is."
―Hawkfrost indicating he plans for Ashfoot's death Winds of Change, page 152
Mudclaw resents Ashfoot.WOC

Mudclaw gets irritated with Ashfoot getting used to her new position as deputy.

In Winds of Change, Ashfoot is appointed as the new deputy to Onewhisker, and like her leader, Ashfoot struggles to find her footing in her new promotion. Having to watch them stumble and attempt to lead WindClan irritates Mudclaw, and in turn he grows to resent the two cats. He believes that both Onewhisker and Ashfoot are incompetent and a threat to WindClan's survival, even contemplating letting a fox kill both of them. This scheme fails when Tornear alerts them to the danger, and Mudclaw is later called out by Tornear for his actions against Ashfoot and Onewhisker. Hawkfrost and Mudclaw form a group who believe that Mudclaw is WindClan's rightful leader, and aim to kill Onewhisker before he can receive his nine lives. Hawkfrost believes that should Onewhisker die before he can claim his lives and name, Ashfoot would have no right to succeed him if she survives, implying he intends for her to die so he can become Mudclaw's deputy. Although initially uncertain about killing both Onewhisker and Ashfoot, Mudclaw agrees that they need to die. During the attack to usurp and kill WindClan's leadership, Mudclaw attacks Ashfoot, but he and his loyalists are eventually driven back by the intervention of ThunderClan.

Trivia[]

Interesting facts[]

Mistakes[]

  • She has been called Ashfur.[15]
  • She has been depicted with dark gray paws.[16]

Continuity[]

The following information is from sources considered non-canon, retconned, or from adapted material.

  • On Vicky's Facebook, Ashfoot has clear amber eyes.[17]
  • In Secrets of the Clans, a 2007 field guide, it is revealed that Ashfoot is a distant descendant of Windstar.[18] When ShadowClan attacks the WindClan camp, Ashfoot shoves Morningflower back into the nursery, growling at her that she is in no condition to fight. But when Morningflower protests, Ashfoot instructs her to protect Eaglekit, then rushes into battle. As Morningflower crouches in the nursery, she hears Ashfoot's enraged yowls coming from outside.[19]
  • In The Clans Decide, Ashfoot votes for the individual Clan leaders, along with Nightcloud and Tornear. Before she leaves, she tells Onestar that she has faith in him to keep the Clan safe.[20]
  • On Vicky's Facebook, Ashfoot is said to be born in Stagleap and Wrenfight's first litter alongside Morningflower.[21] This was changed in Onestar's Confession, where Onestar, Morningflower, and Ashfoot are mentioned to being born in the same litter.[5]
  • Before it was mentioned in Crowfeather's Trial,[22] twice Erin Hunter has mentioned that Deadfoot may have been Crowfeather's father. However, this has never been definitely confirmed.[23] It was later revealed in a letter that Deadfoot is Ashfoot's mate and Crowfeather's father.[24] Deadfoot being the father of Ashfoot's other kits—Hillkit, Downkit, and Eaglekit—was also originally revealed on Vicky's Facebook.[25][26]

Quotes[]

Ashfoot: "Thank you, Onewhisker. I'll do my best. I never imagined-"
Onewhisker: "I know. That's one reason why I chose you. I don't want a cat who thinks she deserves power. I want a cat who will help me make our Clan strong again when we reach our new home."
Ashfoot: "Then that is what I will do."
—Ashfoot and Onestar after Ashfoot's deputy ceremony Starlight, page 132


"You're needed for a hunting patrol. Or do you think the rabbits will come running into the camp on their own?"
―Ashfoot to Tornear and Breezepelt Sunrise, page 28


Ashfoot: "Goodbye, then, and good luck!"
Brambleclaw: "Thanks, Ashfoot. You've helped us a lot. What made you do it?"
Ashfoot: "I want my own Clan to be safe. Sol must be dealt with before he causes more trouble."
—Ashfoot on why she helped ThunderClan solve Ashfur's murder Sunrise, pages 49-50


Crowfeather: "Oh, Ashfoot. I miss you so much...But why are you here? Why aren't you in StarClan?"
Ashfoot: "I can't leave yet. There are tasks you must do. You could lose everything."
—Crowfeather and Ashfoot Crowfeather's Trial, page 104


Crowfeather: "You made it to StarClan!"
Ashfoot: "It was time. I'm so proud of you, Crowfeather. Proud that you're finally listening. No cat can be a good warrior, or a loyal Clanmate, with a closed heart. Now you have opened yours...and WindClan is better for it."
Crowfeather: "It scares me a little. Caring, when for so long I tried not to. Any cat you love, you can lose."
Ashfoot: "The loss is worth it. I loved you...so much...and now it hurts to part. But I'm better for it, and so are you."
—Ashfoot and Crowfeather Crowfeather's Trial, page 408
