Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
"It killed one of their campmates too. [...] Leafpool died alongside her."
— Hawk remembering the rockfall that killed Moonlight in Darkness Within, page 193


Hawk is a large,[6] long-furred,[7] well-muscled and broad-shouldered,[8] ginger-brown[6][9] she-cat with wide paws,[10][8] and golden eyes.[4]

Hawk is a Sister under Moonlight's and Snow's leaderships and the mother to Flurry, Sparrow, Chestnut, and Snail. When Sunrise was badly wounded by Stonewing, a ShadowClan warrior, Hawk, Snow, and Tempest brought their injured campmate to ThunderClan in hopes that Squirrelflight's medicine cat could treat her. However, Bramblestar refused to fully treat Sunrise for fear that it would anger Tigerstar or StarClan. Hawk, Snow, Tempest, and Sunrise were sent back to the Sisters with some herbs from Leafpool. Hawk later fought in the battle against the Clans, where Moonlight was killed and her kits were orphaned. When Squirrel, Leaf, and Moon were old enough, Hawk and the Sisters took the kits and left the lake. She later went back to the Clans with the other Sisters and performed a ceremony to find Bramblestar's ghost.

History[]

In The Broken Code arc[]

Darkness Within[]

"Squirrelflight was as brave as a Sister. I'd like to pay my respect to her."
―Hawk wanting to see Squirrelflight Darkness Within, page 194
When Rootspring and his travelling group first meet the Sisters, he notes that Hawk is among them. Hawk and Flurry glance at Spotfur with concern due to the gray she-cat's injuries, but do not offer to help her. When Furze accuses the Clans of being responsible for Moonlight's death, Hawk reminds her that one of their campmates, Leafpool, also died in the rockfall. As the Sisters discuss whether to travel to the lake to help the Clans, Hawk remarks that she found Squirrelflight to be as brave as the Sisters, and she wants to pay her respects to the ginger warrior. When Moonlight suggests that they should find out what is threatening the Clans' ancestors, Hawk agrees, pointing out that their own ancestors might be affected soon as well. This idea causes the other Sisters to shift in discomfort. Rootspring asks the Sisters if they really will come to help, and Hawk affirms it after a brief pause.
Later, when Rootspring and Bristlefrost share prey, Sunrise tells them they do not need to be shy about their feelings. She exchanges a glance with Hawk, who twitches her whiskers in amusement. Bristlefrost is embarrassed, insisting that they are just friends, but looks at Hawk and Tempest, who are sharing a squirrel, and wonders if they share Sunrise's thoughts. Bristlefrost explains that warriors cannot be mates with cats from other Clans, and Hawk looks up from her meal to ask what would happen if they fell in love with a cat from another Clan. Bristlefrost says that they are not supposed to, and Hawk stares at her, questioning again what would happen if they did. Hawk frowns as she asks if warriors are only allowed to love cats within the borders of their Clan territory.
On the journey, when Moon gets tangled up in silver vine, Rootspring runs between Hawk and Tempest as he rushes to see what has happened. When Bristlefrost arrives at SkyClan's camp for the summoning ritual, she sees Hawk sitting between Snow and Sunrise. Sunrise says there is a strange energy present, and looks at Hawk, who nods in agreement. After the ritual, Hawk stares at Snow and demands in outrage to know why the spirits were in so much pain.

Squirrelflight's Hope[]

Squirrelflight: "The Clans are coming."
Hawk: "How can we leave now?"
—Squirrelflight warning Hawk and the Sisters about an attack on their camp Squirrelflight's Hope, page 311
Hawk and the Sisters move into the territory that was near SkyClan's. When Sunrise is severely injured by Stonewing, Hawk and Tempest transport her to ThunderClan's camp, asking for help to heal Sunrise. Bramblestar is reluctant to do so, but when Squirrelflight and Leafpool finally persuade him to shelter Sunrise until she is well enough to travel, Hawk and Tempest come to transport her back to the Sisters' camp before Bramblestar returns to camp. Hawk asks if Sunrise was well enough to travel, and Squirrelflight says she hopes so. Squirrelflight also explains to them that the other Clans might start a war if they find out ThunderClan is sheltering Sunrise, but Hawk is puzzled and asks why, so Leafpool reminds her that the Sisters attacked ShadowClan's warriors. As Tempest, Snow, Hawk, and Sunrise leave, Leafpool sends an herb bundle with them in case of emergency, while Squirrelflight escorts them to the border. When they arrive at the Sisters' camp, Flurry and Sparrow greet Hawk warmly.
Later on, when Tree is trying to bargain peace with the Sisters, Squirrelflight sees Sparrow, Sunrise, and Hawk share a thrush, and, when Moonlight is kitting, Hawk returns from collecting raspberry leaves and drops them beside Leafpool, catching her breath. Squirrelflight warns her that the Clans are coming to drive them out, but Hawk asks how the Sisters could leave now, considering that Moonlight was kitting. When the battle patrol arrives, Hawk is uneasy as the Sisters prepare to fight the Clan cats. During the battle, Hawk takes one of Moonlight's newborn kits from Squirrelflight while Leafpool looks for the third kit during the rockfall on the cave, but only Hawk seems to escape.

In the Novellas[]

Tree's Roots[]

Hawk: "Earth, you haven't been paying attention when I try to teach you, or when Furze does, or Snow, or any of us. We're to show you the skills you need to know."
Earth: "Sorry."
Hawk: "I know you are, Earth. But you'll need to stay alert. In a few days, you'll begin your wander. You need to learn to take care of yourself."
—Hawk lecturing Earth during a lesson Tree's Roots, chapter 3
Hawk bids her sons, Chestnut and Snail, good-bye for their wander, and presses against their faces as if she were trying to memorize their scents as her children leave. Hawk later tries to teach Earth to hunt for the shrews and mice, but Earth worries about Stream, and how he will now have to be alone on his wander. While he is daydreaming, Hawk comes up behind him, scolding him for his lack of attention to what is being taught to him. Earth's shoulders slump, and Hawk's eyes soften, but she still says that he will have to learn to take care of himself come his wander, insisting that he will manage if he pays attention to the hunting lesson.
The two resume their hunt, and diverge paths when Hawk detects voles and mice in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, Earth runs into a brown tabby she-cat and a lean gray tom, who are extremely hostile and attack him. Earth is terrified until Hawk shows up to defend him, grappling with the tabby she-cat, and orders Earth to run. She catches up to him, asking if he had any injuries, while licking a wound on her leg, but Earth says no as the former rubs chervil into her wound. He apologizes, but Hawk blows it off, saying that it is fine. When they arrive back, Moonlight notices Hawk's wounds and asks what happened. Earth tells her two rogues attacked them, and at this Moonlight reacts sternly and lectures him, and the two later have a private discussion.

Quotes[]

«Hawk pressed her face to each of theirs, hard, and closed her eyes as if she was memorizing her sons' scents.»
—Hawk parting with Chestnut and Snail Tree's Roots, chapter 1


Moonlight: "Do we need their respect? Aren't you curious about what's going on? If something is stopping spirits from wandering the forests, shouldn't we find out what it is?"
Hawk: "Yes. If it affects the Clans' ancestors, it might affect ours soon."
Snow: "Moonlight is right. The Clans are arrogant and foolish. But their lost spirits might be important to us as well as them. We should go with these cats and find out what's happening."
—Hawk and Snow agreeing with Moonlight Darkness Within, pages 196-197


Bristlefrost: "Warriors can't take mates from a different Clan. We can be friends."
Hawk: "But what if you fall in love with a cat from another Clan?"
Bristlefrost: "We're not supposed to."
Hawk: "But what if you do?"
Needleclaw: "A true warrior is loyal to their Clan above all things."
Snow: "But why?"
Bristlefrost: "How can we protect our Clanmates if our heart lies with another Clan?"
Needleclaw: "Each Clan has its own borders. We couldn't defend them properly if cats we loved were on the other side."
Hawk: "So you are only allowed to love what's inside your borders?"
Snow: "Who made such a rule?"
Needleclaw: "It's part of the warrior code. It's part of what binds a Clan together and keeps it safe."
Tempest: "It sounds like it must make life harder, not easier."
Needleclaw: "The warrior code isn't there to make life easier. It's to help us be the best warrior we can be."
—Hawk, Snow, and Tempest questioning Clan ways Darkness Within, pages 201-202


Rootspring: "I don't think it was meant to happen like that."
Sunrise: "I've never seen anything like it before. The spirits were angry."
Snow: "It was like they wanted to attack us."
Hawk: "Why are they in so much pain?"
Tempest: "I saw dead leaves lying on the grass now."
Snow: "Dead leaves mean bad spirits are around."
—Rootspring and the Sisters after the ritual Darkness Within, pages 247-248
