"I'm so sorry that I hurt you. But thank you for keeping our secret. Do you want this life? [...] With this life, I give you acceptance. Accept your past so that you may leave it behind as you and your Clan move forward."
— Blizzardwing during Blackfoot's leadership ceremony in Blackfoot's Reckoning, chapter 2


Blizzardwing is a mottled white tom.[2]

Blizzardwing was a warrior of ShadowClan under Cedarstar’s, Raggedstar’s, and Brokenstar’s leaderships in the forest territories. He became an apprentice with the name of Blizzardpaw, and later attained the warrior name Blizzardwing. He was given Foxpaw as an apprentice, and participated in several battles for his Clan. Blizzardwing was praised for his mentoring skills when Foxheart became a warrior. While he was still mates with Featherstorm, Blizzardwing fathered Hollyflower's kits, Blackkit, Fernkit, and Flintkit. Blizzardwing kept his distance to avoid any speculation, and his son, Blackstar, kept his secret. Blizzardwing went on to have a litter with Featherstorm, Mosskit, Volekit, and Dawnkit. After his death, Blizzardwing joined StarClan and gave his son a life for acceptance.

History[]

In the Super Editions[]

Tallstar's Revenge[]

He is a ShadowClan apprentice. Blizzardpaw attends a Gathering with ShadowClan's patrol. As Shrewpaw boasts about his speed, Blizzardpaw lashes his tail and comments that any cat could run faster on the moor, as they had the wind at their tail and no trees to get in their way. Shrewpaw flattens his ears, and asks if him if he thought it was easy living on the moors.
Blizzardpaw becomes a warrior with the name of Blizzardwing. Blizzardwing fights with Talltail during a battle with WindClan, and lunges for Talltail's throat. The enemy cat rolls out of the way and Blizzardwing narrowly misses his target, snapping his teeth at Talltail's cheek and plucking out a few whiskers. Blizzardwing's ears are attacked by Talltail, who proceeds to kick at his opponent's belly. The WindClan warrior gets away, despite a second attempt to rip out more whiskers.

Yellowfang's Secret[]

"If you're not scared of badgers then you're a mouse-brain. They're the most ferocious animals in the forest—far worse than foxes."
―Blizzardwing to Foxpaw Yellowfang's Secret, page 142
When Yellowpaw and Foxpaw report that WindClan has stolen prey, he and his Clanmates go to investigate. Brightflower is told to follow the tracks with Blizzardwing in case enemies are still lurking. They report that paw prints from the Thunderpath tunnel have come from WindClan territory, and he goes back to camp to fetch reinforcements with Foxpaw and Wolfpaw. When the new cats come, Stonetooth says that Blizzardwing stayed to help guard the camp in case WindClan tries to attack it.
Later, Blizzardwing states that ShadowClan will soon get rid of the badger in the territory so that they can hunt freely again. When Foxpaw declares that she has no fear of badgers, Blizzardwing shoots her a freezing glare, saying they are the most ferocious animal in the forest, and that she needs to run if one chases her. Shortly after, when Red and Boulder come to the camp and ask to join ShadowClan, Blizzardwing says does not believe a single word of this, and exclaims that it must be a trick. At Foxpaw's and Wolfpaw's warrior ceremony, Blizzardwing affirms to Cedarstar that Foxpaw is worthy to be a warrior. The leader responds by stating that if he is telling the truth, it is due to his excellent training.
Blizzardwing takes part in the battle against rogues, being rescued by Raggedpelt when a rogue cat lunges for his throat. After it's over, Yellowfang tells Blizzardwing to find some cobweb to stop Cloudpaw's bleeding wound. Later, Blizzardwing guards the camp the night Yellowfang sneaks out to bear her kits. He next speaks to Amberleaf about Brokenkit, and she points out that Brokenkit never plays with the other kits. Blizzardwing comments that he's different, but will make a good apprentice.
Blizzardwing attends Raggedstar's first meeting as Clan leader, for Brokenpaw's warrior ceremony. In the battle against the rats in which Foxheart dies, he leaps out of his hiding place with Brokentail, Cloudpelt, and Finchflight. Later, Blizzardwing peeks into the nursery at his mate, Featherstorm, and his kits Mosskit, Dawnkit, and Volekit and asks if everything is okay and if he can do anything. Featherstorm says that they are all fine, but asks him to fetch a nice, tasty piece of fresh-kill. Blizzardwing disappears to fetch it.

In the Novellas[]

Blackfoot's Reckoning[]

«But what would happen if every cat knew? Blizzardwing would be ashamed—ashamed that Blackpaw and his littermates existed. His mate, Featherstorm, would be hurt and embarrassed. And what about Hollyflower? Would the other cats be angry with her? Was there a punishment for having kits with another cat's mate? What if they drove her away from ShadowClan?»
—Blackpaw's thoughts on revealing the truth about his father Blackfoot's Reckoning, chapter 2
While lying in the medicine cat's den sick after eating a bad frog, Blackpaw hears Blizzardwing enter the den, much to Hollyflower's dismay. Blizzardwing insists he is concerned about Blackpaw's illness, mentioning that he's their father and has a right to be worried. Blackpaw is horrified to learn the truth; as kits, he and his littermates never knew who their father was, despite asking their mother. Hollyflower insists that Blizzardwing left her to raise the kits alone out of fear of Blizzardwing's mate, Featherstorm, learning the truth of his affair. Blackpaw is furious, and desperately wishes to either attack or rush over to Blizzardwing for a father's comfort, but Blizzardwing leaves the den from Hollyflower's angry hisses.
Three sunrises later, Blackpaw decides to keep his parents' secret, despite Clawpaw's taunts that Blackpaw and his littermates might be half-Clan or a kittypet, and they have no proof otherwise. Blackpaw is tempted to reveal that their father is a ShadowClan warrior, but worries what kind of retribution his parents might face. Blackpaw storms away to Brokenkit, and the apprentice reveals that he does know who his father is, but Brokenkit insists it doesn't matter since Blackpaw will make his own destiny, hinting that Blackpaw might become a strong warrior to teach his father a lesson.
At Blackfoot's leadership ceremony, Blackfoot reveals to his parents that he learned the truth the night outside the medicine cat's den. Blizzardwing apologizes for hurting his son, but thanks him for keeping their secret. He gives him a life for acceptance, and he and Hollyflower turn away.
