History

In the Power of Three arc

Long Shadows

Owl Feather's kit: "Are we really going all the way to the top of the hill?"

Owl Feather: "That's right. And even farther than that."

^{Long Shadows, page 227}

Owl Feather is a queen with three unnamed young kits. After Jay's Wing and Half Moon share a blackbird, Half Moon suggests that they take it to Owl Feather. When they arrive, Owl Feather gives her kits some blackbird to try. Half Moon tells Owl Feather about the meeting that the cats were having to decide whether to leave or stay and Owl Feather is adamant that she will leave with her kits.

When Jagged Lightning, Owl Feather's mate, voices that he wants to stay, Half Moon comments that Owl Feather won't like that he wants to stay. At the casting of the stones, she is absorbed in her kits playing, while Jagged Lightning chooses to stay by the lake. Without looking at him, she casts her stone to leave. Owl Feather's kits ask if they are really going up to the mountains and Owl Feather replies that they are.

In the Omen of the Stars arc

Sign of the Moon

"I wanted to leave, too, but now I want to go back. I'm afraid my kits will die if we stay here."

―Owl Feather expressing her opinion ^{Sign of the Moon, page 229}

Owl Feather is mentioned by Stone Song when he mentions that she barely got their kits to the mountains. Most of the cats that journeyed from the Lake want to return, including Owl Feather. She says that she voted to leave, but now she just wants to go back.

When her kits attempt to suckle, they let out wails when they can't find any milk. Owl Feather sadly says that because she hasn't been eating well, she can't produce enough milk for her kits. Jagged Lightning then says that he must hunt for his mate so that the kits won't starve. When the cats decide to try hunting in groups Owl Feather says that they won't be practicing with her kits and she expresses worry that one of the strong birds would get her kits.

Owl Feather lays next to Shy Fawn, it is noted that Shy Fawn's belly is very swollen and that her kits will come soon. Shy Fawn's kits start coming and Jayfeather tells Owl Feather to go fetch a stick for her to bite on when she's in pain. When Jayfeather visits the Tribe of Endless Hunting he sees the faint outlines of Owl Feather, Stone Song, Rising Moon, and Half Moon farther back in the ranks of cats, their starry pelts barely visible.

The Last Hope

"I will fight beside Jagged Lightning and my kits to defeat this darkness."

―Owl Feather about the final battle ^{The Last Hope, page 4}

She, Half Moon, Broken Shadow, and Slant wait for the StarClan cats to come. When Bluestar tells the cats why she and Spottedleaf came to see them, Owl Feather narrows her eyes, suspicious of whether or not the StarClan cats would actually believe what they had to say. Spottedleaf quickly defends Bluestar against Owl Feather's accusations. Owl Feather also acknowledges Spottedleaf with a blink, since she had understood that the flaming star that brought Firestar into ThunderClan, saying that she had used her gift well. She is very unsure if the cats had done enough in trying to find the fourth cat, her tail twitching. While talking about the coming battle, Owl Feather says she will fight beside Jagged Lightning and her kits to defeat the darkness, her eyes sparkling.
