| "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, and 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 interest in Leafpool, and they ran away to be together. However, 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.

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, page 311
- 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.
Power of Three
- "You mean nothing to me, Leafpool. That moon has passed. My loyalty is only to WindClan, and I have no kits other than Breezepelt."
- ―Crowfeather disowning his ThunderClan kits Sunrise, page 306
Omen of the Stars
- Crowfeather: "This has to stop! I will not watch you harm a whisker on that cat!"
- Breezepelt: "I always knew you hated me!"
- The Last Hope, pages 308-309
- Crowfeather's son, Breezepelt, begins training in the Dark Forest, seeking revenge against Crowfeather and the cats who betrayed him. Breezepelt gets into a fight with Lionblaze at the border, and Crowfeather does nothing to break it up. Leafpool attempts to stop them, but Breezepelt attacks her. Crowfeather protects her, and the two share some words before Nightcloud drags Crowfeather away from Leafpool. During the Great Battle, Breezepelt fights for the Dark Forest and attacks Lionblaze, but Crowfeather chases him off. Breezepelt insists that his father always hated him, but Crowfeather snarls that it was Nightcloud who made him believe that. Leafpool approaches Crowfeather, sharing a brief moment with him, and Crowfeather says he never regretted anything.
A Vision of Shadows
- "That's all very well, Mistystar. But it's beginning to feel like you're using the other Clans. You wanted nothing to do with us until we came and saved your tails, and now that you need help, you want to be a Clan again!"
- ―Crowfeather challenging Mistystar River of Fire, page 194
The Broken Code
- Crowfeather: "Do you really think StarClan wants us to start throwing around accusations? They want peace in the Clans, not arguments."
- Ashfur: "You're just another codebreaker in denial about what's really going on!"
- The Silent Thaw, page 49
- Crowfeather is named as a codebreaker by Bramblestar's impostor, though the WindClan deputy refuses to to atone for anything until StarClan speaks again. At a Gathering, Harestar exiles Crowfeather, and Crowfeather bitterly tells the Clans that punishing cats won't bring back StarClan. Shortly thereafter, he is brought to ShadowClan as a refugee and is vocal about killing the impostor to prevent any more cats from being hurt. He later returns to his deputy position after the exiles are welcomed back to the Clans.
