This page contains Breezepelt's personality and relationships. It contains conjecture due to being based off of general novel themes, and all statements must be sourced.

Personality

Breezepelt is described as ornery, vindictive, bitter, and brutal. He held deep grudges against all cats he believes had wronged him, especially his father. The Dark Forest appealed to his brokenness and he readily trained with them, determined to take down the Clans and every cat who hurt him. After realizing his mistakes, Breezepelt's true loyalty to WindClan and his desire to overcome his tainted reputation becomes apparent to every cat. He is also willing to give his life for those he cares about, such as fighting stoats in order to find his mother. Eventually, he reconciles his relationships wilt Crowfeather, and Lionblaze, and finds happiness in taking Heathertail as a mate. Though he still can be grumpy sometimes, he no longer holds resentment towards most cats.

Relationships

Crowfeather

"Listening to him, Crowfeather remembered the terrible moment in the battle when Breezepelt had attacked Lionblaze. That hadn’t been the action of a traitor, he realized now, but of a cat driven to desperation by his sense of failure and isolation. Now, looking at Breezepelt’s determined face, Crowfeather felt a wave of tenderness wash over him. He could see in his son something of the innocent kit— so eager for new challenges and adventures—that Nightcloud had first presented to him, before it had all gone wrong."

―Crowfeather understanding his son ^{Crowfeather's Trial}

Breezepelt is Crowfeather’s son, siren to prove his loyalty to WindClan. Due to his past failed relationships, Crowfeather struggled to connect with his WindClan son. At first, Crowfeather attempted to be close to Breezekit, even refusing to leave him when he once got sick. Though he made mistakes, such as playing too roughly, eventually making the protective Nightcloud push Crowfeather away from his son. This caused him to give up and become withdrawn.

As Breezepaw’s defiant personality developed, it clashed with Crowfeather’s strict parenting, creating a strained relationship, though still wouldn’t hesitate to save his son. Crowfeather grew weary of constantly scolding Breezepaw’s bad behavior, making him prone to harshness and lack of affection. Due to this, Breezepelt assumed his father hated him, conflicted between anger and desire for approval. Considering Crowfeather the source of the family's issues, he would never allow him to shift blame onto Nightcloud.

The tensions between them reached new heights when it was exposed Crowfeather had half-Clan kits. Initially he disowned them in favor of claiming Breezepelt was his only kit. Breezepelt didn't believe him, considering them his father's disgrace, therefore not having the right to exist. Spurred on by the Dark Forest, Breezepelt tried killing them several times. When Crowfeather stopped one of those attempts, he finally acknowledged Leafpool’s kits. Crowfeather admitted his feelings to Breezepelt, denying he hated him and he regretted not doing more. Despite this, Crowfeather held Breezepelt responsible for his actions as a grown warrior, chasing him away.

After the Great Battle, Crowfeather almost disowned Breezepelt, though with the encouragement of others, attempted to understand him instead. After multiple redeeming acts such as saving Lionblaze and finding Nightcloud, Crowfeather concluded Breezepelt wasn’t a traitor, but simply emotionally confused. The two went on better terms, able to remain calm in each other’s presence, with Breezepelt swearing to be a better mate and father than Crowfeather.

Nightcloud

Breezepelt: "We never would have given up on you."

Nightcloud: "I know you never would."

^{Crowfeather's Trial}

Breezepelt loves his mother, and she was often the only cat he got along with. She raised Breezepelt by herself, and told him all about his father’s unfaithfulness. Breezepelt would do anything for Nightcloud.

Heathertail

"Crowfeather caught a questioning look from Nightcloud, and responded with a nod. Yes, this will be the mother of our son's kits. Breezepelt was lucky, he reflected, to have such a strong warrior in his life, so loyal to him and to their Clan."

―Crowfeather's thoughts about Heathertail ^{Crowfeather's Trial}

Breezepelt and Heathertail quickly grow fond of each other during WindClan’s situation with the stoats, and Heathertail is able to curve his aggressive personality. Breezepelt and Heathertail have many kits, and Breezepelt is proud to be a father.

Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf

"This has nothing to do with Brokenstar. Lionblaze should never have been born. None of them should. Hollyleaf is dead, now it's your turn, Lionblaze."

―Breezepelt's response to Ivypool and Lionblaze ^{The Last Hope}

Breezepelt hates his father’s other kits, and tries to kill them many times. The Dark Forest uses his hatred for his kin to get him to join them, and Breezepelt even attacks Jayfeather at the Moonpool with the help of Brokenstar. In the Great Battle, Breezepelt tries to kill Lionblaze and laughs at the sight of Hollyleaf’s dead body.
