"If I'm bloodying my paws already, why stop at one cat?"
This article contains major spoilers for the recently released book, Wind. Please proceed at your own discretion.
"Cats can only thrive with the help and support of others. We should accept that. We must help each other and share what we have instead of competing over land and prey. It needs to be part of our way of life. I want RiverClan to be like that. To be something new, something different, something better. That's why choosing the right leader is so important."
— Frostpaw to Nightheart about choosing the next leader in Thunder, page 290


Frostpaw is a light gray[6] she-cat[3] with darker color points,[12] blue eyes,[13][14] and a scar on her throat.[15]

Frostpaw is a temporary member of ShadowClan under Tigerstar's leadership in the lake territories, having previously served as a medicine cat apprentice under Mistystar and Owlnose in RiverClan. She was born in RiverClan as Frostkit to Jayclaw and Curlfeather alongside her littermates Mistkit and Graykit. Her mother's belief that Frostkit demonstrated a connection with StarClan prompted her to be trained by Mothwing as her new medicine cat apprentice following Willowshine's death. As her Clan's sole connection with their ancestors, Frostpaw had a major role to fulfill. Following Mistystar's and Reedwhisker's sudden deaths, Frostpaw believed that StarClan told her that she alone had to choose RiverClan's next leader. Shortly after receiving signs that Curlfeather should be RiverClan's leader, Curlfeather was killed by dogs while journeying to the Moonpool. Frostpaw then chose Owlnose to be leader, which fell through when Owlnose decided that he did not want to go through with receiving his nine lives.

Frostpaw's insecurities about her inability to speak to StarClan led her to doubt if she even had a connection to them at all, and she stepped down from her medicine cat duties to train as a warrior apprentice with Harelight as her new mentor. However, after experiencing a vision from Reedwhisker about his murder, Frostpaw was attacked by Splashtail in WindClan territory on her way to ask Whistlepaw for advice. Realizing that her attempted murderer believed her to be dead, she became a loner and went on a journey to the Cats of the Park with Nightheart as instructed by Riverstar to learn how to meditate and choose RiverClan's proper leader. Frostpaw learned that her mother, Curlfeather, was behind the corruption and murders in RiverClan, and that Curlfeather had lied about Frostpaw being destined to be a medicine cat. The other Clans refused to believe her, and Frostpaw sought out refuge in ShadowClan, vowing to one day save her Clan from Splashtail's claws.

The Broken Code

Frostkit is born to Jayclaw and Curlfeather alongside her littermates, Mistkit and Graykit.

A Starless Clan

"To begin with, I was manipulated by my mother. No cat is manipulating me now."
―Frostpaw arguing with Podlight Wind, page 104
Frostpaw is chosen to be Mothwing's new medicine cat apprentice following Willowshine's death. Her mother Curlfeather has insisted on her daughter's connection to StarClan ever since she dreamed of her father's death. Shortly after her apprenticeship, Mistystar abruptly dies and Reedwhisker goes missing. In their absence, RiverClan was thrown in a leadership crisis. Frostpaw interprets a dock leaf in the shape of a star in her nest as a sign she and Mothwing should temporarily lead. After Reedwhisker's body is found in a ravine, Frostpaw interprets a small curled white feather near the Moonpool as a sign that Curlfeather should be leader. However, her mother is killed by dogs on the way to the Moonpool, and she warns her daughter to not trust anyone. Frostpaw's attempts to contact StarClan are fuzzy, and she appoints Owlnose as RiverClan's newest leader. However, Owlnose flounders under the pressure, and he steps down before receiving his nine lives. Frostpaw realizes that her dreams with StarClan were conjured from her imagination, prompting her decision to train as a warrior under Harelight when Tigerstar of ShadowClan takes over RiverClan until they can find a proper leader.
Frostpaw enjoyed her warrior training and aspired to one day become mates with Splashtail. However, she experienced a vision of Reedwhisker's murder and, upon Splashtail's encouragement, she decided to visit Whistlepaw from WindClan for advice. Frostpaw was brutally attacked on her journey to the moor, though Whistlepaw brought her to Smoky at the horseplace for treatment. After the Twolegs treated her, Frostpaw was instructed by Riverstar to travel to the Cats of the Park to learn how to save RiverClan and choose its next leader. Nightheart of ThunderClan accompanied her, and Frostpaw learned how to meditate and found her own peace after moons of turmoil. However, Frostpaw realized that it was Splashtail who attempted to kill her and he was plotting with Curlfeather to take over RiverClan's leadership. She, Nightheart, Waffle, and Wasp returned a moon later. Frostpaw challenged Splashtail for killing her mother and attacking her, though the other Clan leaders agree with Splashtail's leadership. Splashtail turns Frostpaw away for attempting to disrupt the Clan, and Tigerstar of ShadowClan welcomes her instead. Frostpaw attempts to convince the other Clan leaders that Splashtail and his medicine cat Podlight are frauds, but she soon realizes that RiverClan itself must turn on Splashtail.

Personality and traits

«All at once she could remember what it felt like to be the Frostpaw she'd been before Mistystar's death, before the tragedy of her mother. Before she'd been tasked with finding a new leader, before RiverClan's destiny weighed on her shoulders. She had been clever. Quick. Friendly. She had been able to let her guard down when she felt safe. She had been able to feel safe. It felt good to remember that.»
—Frostpaw's thoughts while with the park cats Thunder, page 236
Frostpaw (RC)

Originally timid and eager to learn, Frostpaw's personality hardened to become more resolved and determined to save her Clan from Splashtail

As a young apprentice, Frostpaw as eager and excited to learn about how to treat her Clanmates and communicate with StarClan, though she secretly thought the latter was more important.[18] She was passionate about helping her Clanmates.[19] However, following the deaths of Mistystar, Reedwhisker, and Curlfeather, Frostpaw began to feel the heavy weight of the burdens she carried as RiverClan's sole communication with StarClan.[20][21] She felt insecure about the importance of her decisions when she was only an apprentice,[22] which furthered when she realized her visions were fake.[21] She felt free from her burdens after she was appointed a warrior apprentice instead.[23] However, Frostpaw became distant and distrustful of others, even her own Clanmates and peers, after she was nearly killed.[24] Riverstar even encouraged her to learn how to trust again,[25] though she found that task quite difficult.[26] It was only after spending time with the Cats of the Park and Nightheart did Frostpaw remember how it felt to be safe and secure.[27] Upon returning to the Clans, Frostpaw became more resolved, determined, and outspoken to save her Clan from Splashtail.[28]

Relationships

Curlfeather

Frostpaw: "This is why I couldn't see her in StarClan. She's not in StarClan, is she?"
Riverstar: "She's in the Dark Forest. She knew the consequences of her actions. It was a price she was willing to pay."
Frostpaw: "Even if it meant never seeing me again? Did she ever care for me at all?"
Riverstar: "I'm sorry you have to suffer like this, little one. Just remember that her last act in life was to save you."
—Frostpaw learning the truth about her mother Thunder, page 296
Curlfeather doted on her three kits, especially after her mate Jayclaw died. When Curlfeather realized that her daughter Frostkit began to have special dreams,[18] Curlfeather used this knowledge to manipulate her daughter into thinking they were dreams from StarClan so she would train as Mothwing's apprentice. Curlfeather hoped to manipulate Frostpaw into convincing Mistystar that she should be deputy after killing Reedwhisker,[29] though Mistystar abruptly died.[19] She continued to rely on manipulating her daughter even after Mistystar's death, prompting Splashtail to plant a white curled feather near the Moonpool.[30] Frostpaw was insistent that it was a sign from StarClan that her mother should be leader,[31] though her mother was killed by dogs[32] lured by Splashtail.[30] Curlfeather's final act was to ensure her daughter's safety and warning her to trust no cat.[32] Witnessing her mother's death traumatized Frostpaw, who had the daunting task of trying to pick RiverClan's new leader while grieving.[33] Frostpaw even dreamed of her mother from StarClan, though this was from her imagination.[20] Eventually, Frostpaw learned the truth about her mother conspiring with Splashtail, resulting in her fate to the Dark Forest. Frostpaw's feelings remain conflicted between her mother's manipulations and her sacrifice.[30]

Graypaw and Mistpaw

«Frostpaw felt a surge of guilt. Graypaw and Mistpaw would be devastated. They'd already lost both their parents. When Curlfeather had died, the two had sneaked into the medicine-cat den to comfort Frostpaw. The three of them were all each other had now, they'd said.»
—Frostpaw's thoughts about her littermates Thunder (book), page 89
Graypaw and Mistpaw are Frostpaw's littermates.[3] Even as apprentices, Frostpaw was aware of the distance between her and her littermates when she decided to train as Mothwing's apprentice, and at times, Frostpaw felt lonely.[34] After their mother's death, Frostpaw feels guilty for not spending time with her littermates due to her duties in securing RiverClan's leadership, though she doesn't wish to bother them either.[22] After transitioning to training as a warrior, Frostpaw trains alongside her littermates. Graypaw and Mistpaw were a bit jealous of their sister due to her importance to the Clan, but they were both pleased she was training alongside them.[23] However, both were skeptical of her decision, since if her visions were wrong, then Curlfeather didn't have to die.[35] When Frostpaw decides to stay away from RiverClan after she is nearly killed, she feels guilty for lying to her siblings after their parents' deaths.[25] Her littermates warmly welcome her back,[36] and Frostpaw hopes her siblings will see the truth about Splashtail.[28]

Mothwing

"I'm sorry I can't help you with this. I'm your mentor. I should be able to teach you. But you have to master this skill alone. That means it'll be harder for you than for an ordinary medicine-cat apprentice. But you're smart, and you're quick, and your heart is in the right place. You can do this. I know you can. You just need to keep trying."
―Mothwing to Frostpaw Sky, page 307
Mothwing

Mothwing was Frostpaw's mentor, and Frostpaw knew she would be on her own to learn how to communicate with StarClan.

Mothwing was Frostpaw's medicine cat mentor, and Frostpaw knew she had big paws to fill after the death of Mothwing's previous apprentice, Willowshine.[18] Frostpaw was also her Clan's sole connection to StarClan due to Mothwing's lack of faith, and Frostpaw knew Mothwing would be unable to teach her about communicating with StarClan.[37] After Mistystar's sudden death, Mothwing relied on Frostpaw's limited knowledge that Mistystar's spirit was safe.[19][37] Mothwing was initially skeptical about Frostpaw's dreams that Curlfeather should be leader, recalling how her brother Hawkfrost faked a sign so she could be Mudfur's apprentice.[31] Following Curlfeather's death, Mothwing gave Frostpaw the space to grieve but also reminded her that her Clanmates need her.[33] Frostpaw felt daunted by the weight of her decision to choose RiverClan's newest leader, knowing that her mentor could not help her.[20][21] When Frostpaw realizes her visions were false,[21] she steps down from her training to train as a warrior.[23] Mothwing resented Frostpaw for telling Icewing and Tigerstar the truth about her visions,[38] During her self-imposed exile, Frostpaw longed for Mothwing's comfort and reassurance,[25] Mothwing believed Frostpaw's claims about Splashtail, but she refused to leave her Clan in Podlight's incapable paws.[28]

Harelight

«A shocked hiss came from Icewing; Frostpaw could see that many of her Clanmates were gazing at her, deeply offended at her failure to trust them. She felt her belly lurch with guilt as she saw the hurt on Harelight's face, as if her mentor was asking, Couldn't you have come to me?'»
—Frostpaw's thoughts about Harelight's pained expression Wind, chapter 1
Harelight was Frostpaw's warrior mentor,[39] and she considered him a friend.[40] At her ceremony, Harelight promised to teach her tricks he learned to conceal their light-colored pelts. Harelight trained her diligently to keep up with her littermates, and he rebuked their Clanmates when they publicly expressed doubts on Frostpaw's decision. He reassured Frostpaw of her progress, openly admitting that he was also new to mentoring.[39] Frostpaw was eager to learn from Harelight, and she flourished under his warm praise and thoughtful encouragement,[35] and gentle reprimands.[41] Harelight warmly welcomed his apprentice when she returned, though Frostpaw could tell he was hurt she didn't come to him after she was attacked.[36] When Harelight was appointed deputy by Splashstar, Frostpaw thought he was working with the false leader until she noticed the guilt in his eyes.[40] Frostpaw later witnesses his death after Harelight questioned Splashtail.[42]

Splashtail

«He cast his eyes over the assembled cats, and Frostpaw felt a chill as his gaze swept over her. Splashtail couldn't have seen her, but she felt his hatred. She felt his determination to be leader. Even though her crush on him was long gone, she saw him in a way that only a cat who had cared for him deeply could, and what she saw terrified her. He'd nearly killed her to get what he wanted. What else would be be willing to do? Who would he be willing to sacrifice?»
—Frostpaw's thoughts about Splashtail's leadership Thunder, page 338
Splashtail was aware of Curlfeather's plans to manipulate her daughter Frostpaw into their scheme.[29] While initially hesitant of her abilities as a medicine cat,[43] Splashtail became one of her biggest supporters when she was tasked with picking RiverClan's new leader,[31][33] knowing that she'll make the right choice.[22][23] She supported Owlnose's decision to name Splashtail his deputy,[44] After Frostpaw decided to train as a warrior,[39][45] Splashtail tried to convince her otherwise, privately knowing that she will be important in his plans to become leader.[46] Frostpaw developed a crush on him and wanted to be his mate, though Splashtail kindly dismissed her until she earned her warrior name.[47] Frostpaw trusted Splashtail enough that he was the only she told about her dream of Splashtail's death. Splashtail prompted her to seek out Whistlepaw alone at night,[48] only to attack her.[49] Frostpaw knew it was Splashtail who attempted to kill her,[24] but her trauma caused her to deny that fact until Riverstar helped her accept the truth.[27] She confronted Splashtail at the Gathering and attempted to reveal the truth, but the other Clans did not believe her.[36] After Harelight's death by Splashtail, Frostpaw resolved to do everything she could to save her Clan from Splashtail.[42]

Nightheart

«For now, he was her Clan.»
—Frostpaw about Nightheart Thunder, page 216
Nightheart (ASC)

Nightheart was one of Frostpaw's true first friends

Nightheart is a ThunderClan warrior and a close friend of Frostpaw.[30] He was chosen by StarClan to accompany Frostpaw on her journey to the cats of the park. Frostpaw convinced Nightheart to accompany her by implying he would help save the Clans.[25] While initially distrustful of him,[26] Frostpaw began to open up to him[50] and even confided about her mother's death relating to her fear of climbing trees.[51] She came to appreciate his companionship and loyalty,[27] encouraging her to take her time despite their lengthy stay with the park cats.[30] Over time, Frostpaw realized he was her friend.[30] When Frostpaw addressed the Gathering about Splashtail's schemes, Nightheart advocated for his friend.[36] Nightheart worried for his friend after they parted ways,[52] and he accompanied her to spy on RiverClan.[42]

Whistlepaw

Frostpaw: "You're a brave cat. I never had the chance to apologize to you for all the trouble you got into with your Clan. It was all because you wanted to help me, and I can never thank you enough for what you did."
Whistlepaw: "It was nothing."
Frostpaw: "It was everything. Without you, I would have died, and no cat would ever have known the truth about Splashtail. I just wish I could have convinced every cat, so that your sacrifice would have been worth it."
Whistlepaw: "It was worth it. I know the truth—even if my Clanmates don't believe me."
—Frostpaw and Whistlepaw Wind, page 238
Frostpaw met Whistlepaw at her first half-moon meeting, and she was relieved to meet another apprentice.[18] Frostpaw sought out Whistlepaw about her vision from StarClan,[41] and it was Whistlepaw who found Frostpaw wounded on the moor. She brought Frostpaw to Smoky.[53][24] Whistlepaw kept Frostpaw's promise not to tell the Clans that she was alive,[25][54] and Whistlepaw was punished by Harestar and Kestrelflight for lying.[55][56] Frostpaw treated Whistlepaw's wounds after she attempted to rescue her sister Leafkit from a fallen tree, and Frostpaw thanked Whistlepaw for protecting her secret.[57]

Riverstar

"You must trust them to take care of you when you can't take care of yourself. Meditation can show us things that are difficult to know. It can stir up powerful emotions. You mustn't let them consume you. RiverClan needs you to stay strong. And that means you must accept help when you need it."
―Riverstar to Frostpaw Thunder, page 229
Riverstar was RiverClan's founder, and he was one of the first StarClan spirits to visit Frostpaw. He promised to guide her on emotional recovery, urging Frostpaw to find trust in others. Riverstar prompted her on the journey to find the Cats of the Park,[25] where Riverstar appeared during her first meditation. He provided comfort, wisdom, and reassurance as she mentally recovered.[27] During her final meditation, Riverstar revealed the truth about her mother. Despite the pain, Riverstar promises that he would be with her.[30] Riverstar appeared to Frostpaw and Puddleshine at the Moonpool to signify that Splashtail and Podlight were impostors.[58]

    • Furthermore, she's expressed that he and Frostpaw are a joy to write.[71]

Mistakes

  • In the hardbound printed edition of River, Frostpaw was described with white-and-brown fur,[67] but this appears to have been fixed in the digital edition.[72]
  • There is a discrepancy on Frostpaw's eye color. The allegiances of Thunder,[13] the cover of Wind,[73] the cover of Star,[74] and the Warrior Cats website depict Frostpaw as having blue eyes,[75] though she is depicted with green eyes on the cover of Shadow,[76] and an undecipherable color on the cover of River.[77]
  • When Frostpaw recalls Cloudstar was a leader, she mentions that she has never met a leader she had only heard about,[78] but in River she meets Leopardstar, who she remembers being only told stories about, making Leopardstar a leader she has only heard of.[79]
  • She is mistakenly called a RiverClan warrior.[80]
  • Despite appearing in the book, Frostpaw is excluded from the allegiances of Wind.[81] She is also excluded from the allegiances of Ivypool's Heart, despite being a ShadowClan refugee.[82][9]

Quotes

«Frostpaw felt a wave of relief. In the crowd, she spotted her littermate, Mistpaw, watching her with sympathetic eyes. Graypaw stood close by. For a moment, Frostpaw wishes she could leave Mothwing's side and go cuddle with her littermates, like they had when they were small, before Curlfeather realized she was having visions. Sometimes she wishes she could join them in the warriors' den—both to be close to them, and for the chance to watch discussions like these with no responsibility for solving the problems. Sometimes being a medicine cat apprentice was very lonely.»
—Frostpaw's thoughts about her littermates River, page 123


Splashtail: "Are you sure you want to do this without the other medicine cats?"
Frostpaw: "No. I have to. I have to do this for our Clan."
Splashtail: "You're right, but it's tough."
Frostpaw: "Well, until we work on how we can choose a new leader, we can't let any cat in the other Clans know what's going on. It's up to me to speak with StarClan and find out who our new leader should be. Only…what if I can't do it? What if StarClan does send me a message, but I get it wrong? I'm only an apprentice, and what I say could affect the Clan for seasons."
Splashtail: "You should have faith in yourself. You're a bright, talented medicine-cat apprentice, and StarClan wouldn't guide you wrong."
—Splashtail and Frostpaw River, pages 212-213

Mothwing: "When Willowshine died, I thought my grief would never ease but, at some point, it does. It has to be. Life needs to get back to normal."
Frostpaw: "Do you call this normal? A Clan without a leader or a deputy? Whose next leader was killed before she could get the blessing of StarClan? There's no normal. Not anymore. There's nothing to get back to. Why even try?"
Mothwing: "Because our Clanmates are relying on us. Because no matter how bad you feel, they need you, and they'll keep needing you. And if you let them down, then everything you've worked for until now—everything Curlfeather worked for—will be wasted."
—Mothwing and Frostpaw Sky, pages 38-39


«His eyes shone with such warmth that her heart lifted. A rush of affection for Splashtail took her by surprise. She stiffened. Had her feelings for Splashtail gone beyond friendship? She pushed that thought away. Medicine cats can't have mates, she reminded herself. But, for the first time since she'd become a medicine-cat apprentice, the thought tugged at her heart.»
—Frostpaw about her feelings for Splashtail Sky, page 248


Frostpaw: "I can't do it! I can't speak to StarClan! I can't see anything except my own thoughts. I can't feel anything except my body. I thought I had a connection with them. Really, I did. But I was wrong, and now I can see that. My visions always felt wrong, and the more I hear other medicine cats talk about StarClan, the more I see I haven't spoken to them at all!"
Mothwing: "Take a breath. You're still just an apprentice. You need to give it time."
Frostpaw: "But we don't have time! RiverClan is depending on me, and Fidgetflake is about to tell every cat about Owlnose. What if—"
Mothwing: "Look at me. You mustn't tell any cat about this. We'll figure something out. But for now, no cat should know that you can't reach StarClan. It's happened to medicine cats before. It doesn't mean you don't have a connection to them, only that you can't reach them right now. I'm sorry I can't help you with this. I'm your mentor. I should be able to teach you. But you have to master this skill alone. That means it'll be harder for you than for an ordinary medicine-cat apprentice. But you're smart, and you're quick, and your heart is in the right place. You can do this. I know you can. You just need to keep trying."

«I'm going to be a warrior! I'm free!»
—Frostpaw's thoughts after she reveals her secret Shadow, page 60


«A warm glow filled Frostpaw's body from ears to tail-tip as she and her littermates headed back toward the RiverClan camp with their mentors. The sun was shining and there was a frosty tang in the air. This was going to be a really good day. Winning praise from Harelight and the others was one of the best things she had ever felt; their words filled her with pride at how well she was learning to be a warrior. She had struggled with doubts before she could imagine this life for herself, but she was enjoying every moment of her training. It was hard to believe she ever thought she was meant to be a medicine cat.»
—Frostpaw's thoughts about training to be a warrior Shadow, page 151


"Frostpaw is a strong young cat. She's had to be, because of everything that she's already gone through in her young life. Troubles that would have destroyed a weaker cat."
―Jayfeather about Frostpaw Wind, page 118
