"Joining the Dark Forest was the biggest mistake I could have made. I... I'm not sure I can forgive myself." |
— Blossomfall to Dovewing about joining the Dark Forest in Dovewing's Silence, chapter 8 |
Blossomfall is a long and thick-furred[12] tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat with petal-shaped white patches.[1]
Blossomfall is a ThunderClan warrior that has served under Firestar's, Bramblestar's, the impostor's, Squirrelflight's, Lionblaze's, and Graystripe's leaderships in the lake territories. She was born as Blossomkit to Millie and Graystripe along with her siblings; Briarkit and Bumblekit. She became apprenticed as Blossompaw, under the mentorship of Hazeltail. When a beech tree crushed Briarpaw's spine, Blossompaw was visibly jealous of the attention Briarpaw received from their mother. Even when she became a warrior named Blossomfall, she felt particularly neglected by her mother, and the dark thoughts she had on the matter led her to train in the Dark Forest, where she gained attention. There, she was trained by Brokenstar, Hawkfrost, and eventually Ivypool.
During the battle against the Dark Forest, Blossomfall was convinced by Ivypool that their loyalty should stay with the Clans. Blossomfall, feeling horrible, fought for ThunderClan and was eventually forgiven by the rest of the Clans for training in the Dark Forest. Later, she mentored Hollytuft and gave birth to Thornclaw's kits, Stemkit, Plumkit, Eaglekit and Shellkit. Later on, she, along with several ThunderClan cats, were exiled by Bramblestar's impostor after they stood up to him, but returned when Squirrelflight became ThunderClan's acting leader. Her son, Stemleaf, was killed in a subsequent failed assassination against the impostor, and her mate, Thornclaw, left to go on a wander.

The Broken Code
- "He felt suddenly hollow, as though claws had ripped out of his heart. He flinched as Snowbird let out a wail. Squirrelflight had finished talking, and Spotfur and Blossomfall lifted their voices to join Snowbird in her grief. Rootspring stared at them, his mouth dry. Without StarClan, they might never see their loved ones again. Without StarClan, this grief might just be the beginning."

Quotes
- Blossomfall: "Why should they? We won. What else should we be doing?"
- Ivypaw: "We should be learning how we could have fought better."
- Night Whispers
- "I don't know how loners and rogues manage on their own, do you, Dovewing?"
- ―Blossomfall on being a warrior Sign of the Moon
- "No. A good cat wouldn't be jealous of an injured littermate. So that's why I've ended up in the Dark Forest. I'm not stupid. I know it's where cats go if they're not allowed into StarClan. But I guess I won't get into StarClan either, because I hate my sister for being injured. So the Dark Forest is where I fit in, and I'm getting good training, better than anything we get here."
- ―Blossomfall explaining to Ivypool Sign of the Moon
- "Whatever. This is the way it is now. I'd better get used to it. At least I get noticed in the Dark Forest."
- ―Blossomfall to Ivypool Sign of the Moon
- "Excuse me, but who's your littermate? You could show a little loyalty, you know."
- ―Blossomfall when Bumblestripe partners with Dovewing instead of her The Forgotten Warrior

- ―Dovewing to Bumblestripe about Blossomfall Dovewing's Silence
- Blossomfall: "I saw what happened. Don’t try to fight this battle for us. It will take time to prove our loyalty, that’s all."

Notes
- ↑ It is unclear if Blossomfall mentored Hollytuft, or if it is a mistake. While Bramblestar's Storm states that Hollytuft's mentor was Cloudtail, The Apprentice's Quest states that Hollytuft was trained by Blossomfall. Hollytuft is listed under both cats due to not knowing which is the error and which is canon.
