"Thank you, Ashfoot. You taught me what I needed to learn. Everything I endured brought me to this, to give me something to fight for in WindClan. And if trouble does come, then WindClan will deal with it. After the Great Battle, and the fight against the stoats, there's surely no threat that our Clan can't face." |
— Crowfeather thinking about Ashfoot and WindClan's future in Crowfeather's Trial, page 418 |
Crowfeather is a dark smoky-gray, almost black, tom with blue eyes.[1]
Crowfeather is the current deputy of WindClan under Harestar's leadership in the lake territories. He was born as Crowkit to Deadfoot and Ashfoot alongside his siblings, Downkit and Hillkit, in the old forest. He later became an apprentice as Crowpaw, being mentored by Mudclaw. Crowpaw was chosen to represent WindClan on the journey to the sun-drown-place, and during the journey, he fell in love with Feathertail. At his warrior ceremony, Crowpaw asked to be named Crowfeather in honor of Feathertail, who had died saving him. Crowfeather later took an interest in Leafpool and they met in secret, and soon they decided to run away so they could be together. However, after they met Midnight, she returned to ThunderClan, unable to abandon her duties as a medicine cat. Crowfeather was heartbroken, but took Nightcloud as a mate to prove his loyalty to WindClan.
Unbeknownst to him, Leafpool bore his kits, Lionkit, Jaykit, and Hollykit, while he and Nightcloud had a litter of kits, though Breezekit was the only survivor. Because of the loss, Nightcloud was extremely protective of their son, and Crowfeather often felt left out of their relationship. He became a mentor to Heathertail, and during the Great Battle, Crowfeather made amends with Leafpool and acknowledged their kits as his own. Breezepelt and Lionblaze later forgave him as well, and Crowfeather established friendly terms with Nightcloud. He also mentored Featherpelt and Fernstripe, and following Onestar's death, Crowfeather was appointed deputy by Harestar. He later was exiled from WindClan after being listed as a codebreaker, taking refuge in ShadowClan, though Crowfeather returned to his position after Bramblestar's impostor was deposed. He ventured into the Dark Forest to help defeat Ashfur as a Light in the Mist.

The New Prophecy[]
- "Don't you know how I feel about you? And how much I hate myself for feeling that way about another cat so soon after Feathertail's death? I loved her, I really did! How can I love you too?"
- ―Crowfeather telling Leafpool of his love for her Starlight, pages 306-307
- After Midnight reveals that Twolegs are destroying the forest, the cats pass through the mountains on their way back to the forest. They meet the Tribe of Rushing Water, who hold Stormfur prisoner and force the others to leave. Before going to rescue Stormfur, Crowpaw and Feathertail decide to continue seeing each other once they return home. Sharptooth attacks the Tribe during their rescue mission, and when Crowpaw is cornered, Feathertail gives her life to save him. He blames himself for her death, and when the Clans pass through the mountains on the Great Journey, Tallstar holds Crowpaw's warrior ceremony, where Crowpaw requests to be named Crowfeather in honor of Feathertail.
- At their new home, Crowfeather develops feelings for ThunderClan's medicine cat, Leafpool, and during Mudclaw's rebellion, he saves her from death and confesses his love for her. The two meet in secret and ultimately run away from the Clans to be together. While traveling, they find Midnight, who warns them that her kin are planning to attack ThunderClan. The couple decide to go back and fight in the battle against the badgers. After the death of her mentor in the battle, Leafpool is left as her Clan's sole medicine cat, and the two mournfully decide to separate.

- ―Crowfeather challenging Mistystar River of Fire, page 194

- In Leafpool's Wish, Leafpool realizes that she is expecting Crowfeather's kits and wonders what kind of father he would've been to them. She dreams of Crowfeather teaching her to stalk rabbits and climbing trees, longing for them to be together. While gathering herbs near the border, Crowfeather reveals that he misses her and wishes things were different. Leafpool disagrees, much to Crowfeather's surprise, and she tells him to go away before he makes things worse. He leaves reluctantly and twines his tail with Nightcloud. As Leafpool gives birth, she wishes to name the black she-kit Crowkit, but Squirrelflight insists on Hollykit. She agrees, but admits she'll name Jaykit, Jayfeather, in honor of his father.

Leafpool & Crowfeather - Mini Collector Figures[]
- Series 5
- These star-crossed lovers, from their brief time together, gave the Clans two of the three cats they needed to survive the darkness to come. Leafpool knew from her kithood that she wanted to set her paws on the path of a healer, but her love for Crowfeather left her caught between what she wanted and what she knew she was meant to be. Crowfeather had already known the pain of losing love once through the death of Feathertail, and losing Leafpool to her healer's calling broke his faith in ever finding love again, at least for a time.
- Approximate individual price is $12.99 USD, and the three-pack bundle is $38.97 USD.
