"Sol's right! We've listened to Onestar for too long. He should let us fight now, do what we've trained for, and teach those ThunderClan cats that we're stronger than they think!"
— Owlwhisker supporting Sol in Hollyleaf's Story, page 62


Owlwhisker is a light brown[8] tabby tom[9] with yellow eyes.[10]

Owlwhisker was a WindClan warrior under Onestar's leadership in the lake territories. Owlkit and his brother, Weaselfur, were born in the forest territories under Tallstar's leadership. He was later apprenticed to Tornear as Owlpaw and participated on the Great Journey. He soon earned his warrior name, Owlwhisker. He partook in several skirmishes against ThunderClan and mentored Whiskernose. He died fighting in the Great Battle and joined StarClan.

History[]

In The New Prophecy arc[]

Dawn[]

Crowpaw: "I'm Crowpaw! What are you doing out here, Owlkit? Shouldn't you be in the nursery?"
Owlpaw: "I'm Owlpaw now."
Crowpaw: "But you can't be an apprentice! You're not six moons old yet."
Owlpaw: "And you can't be Crowpaw. Crowpaw ran away. [...] You smell strange."
Crowpaw: "We've traveled a long way. But we're back now, and I need to speak with Tallstar."
—Owlpaw speaking with Crowpaw as he returns to WindClan camp Dawn, page 10
Owlpaw is a WindClan apprentice. When the traveling cats, Crowpaw, Brambleclaw, Squirrelpaw, Stormfur, and Tawnypelt return to the forest, they cross into WindClan territory and run into Owlpaw. Tawnypelt nearly collides with Owlpaw, and stops dead to stare at him in surprise. She notices that he is barely old enough to leave the nursery, and he crouches in the center of the clearing, back arched and pelt bristling, although he is outsized and outnumbered by Tawnypelt and Crowpaw.
Owlpaw flinches as Squirrelpaw hurtles out of the heather, but stays where he is, and hisses that he scented intruders. Crowpaw calls him Owlkit, and asks him if he remembered him. Owlpaw tips his head one side and opens his mouth to scent the air, with Crowpaw then stating that he was too young to be out of the nursery. Owlpaw flicks his ears, and remarks by saying he's Owlpaw now. Crowpaw exclaims that he couldn't be an apprentice, as he wasn't six moons old yet, and Owlpaw replies that he couldn't be Crowpaw, as he ran away. However, Owlpaw loosens his muscles and pads over to Crowpaw, who stands calmly while Owlpaw sniffs his flank. After scenting Crowpaw's flank, Owlpaw comments that he smells odd.

Starlight[]

When Owlpaw first hears of Tallstar's death, he bows his head, too overcome to speak. Mosspelt, a RiverClan queen, touches Owlpaw on his shoulder with her tail tip, and murmurs that Tallstar was a noble cat, that he would be welcomed by StarClan, and that he would walk with the best of them. He is seen on a patrol with his mentor, Tornear, and Whitetail. After a brief skirmish over where the boundary line would be, the patrol brings Leafpaw to their camp so she could heal their sick elders, and Tornear notes that he would inform Onewhisker that Leafpaw was present, as he heads down the slope with Owlpaw.

Twilight[]

At a Gathering, it is announced that WindClan has held warrior ceremonies for two apprentices: Weaselfur and Owlwhisker. They also are mentioned to be present as full warriors of WindClan. He is also seen on a border patrol lead by Tornear. Included within this patrol are two other cats, Crowfeather and Webfoot.

In the Power of Three arc[]

The Sight[]

Owlwhisker helps chase away dogs from the WindClan camp, along with a black warrior. Brambleclaw mentions that he would take Spiderleg and Berrypaw with him, and help Nightcloud and Owlwhisker, which makes Lionpaw guess that they were the light brown and black he had seen near the rocks. After they chase the dogs away, Brambleclaw bounds out of the bushes, and Spiderleg, Nightcloud, and Owlwhisker follow him.

Dark River[]

During a battle, as Brightheart wrestles with Whitetail, Tornear, Ashfoot, Weaselfur, and Owlwhisker screech and hiss, claws flashing in dawn light. Afterwards, he is seen grappling with Brook, and she screeches in pain as Owlwhisker pins her to the ground and allows Weaselfur to clamp his jaws around her tail. However, Brook turns and sends Owlwhisker flying with a back-kick. As the battle continues, Lionpaw spots a pale tabby pelt among the fighting cats, and wonders if it was Heatherpaw, his heart lurching, but upon looking closer, he sighs with relief when realizing that it was just Owlwhisker.
Following that, Brook is shown driving Owlwhisker steadily down a slope, and balances on her hind legs as she aims slash after slash at his muzzle. When noticing that scents of WindClan cats were coming, Dustpelt mentions that Tornear, Harepaw, and Owlwhisker were with Nightcloud. When they arrive, Owlwhisker questions if it was just Jaypaw and Leafpool who were to come with them. Brambleclaw assures him that they would wait there for them, and Tornear replies slowly that Owlwhisker and Harepaw would wait for them then. On the border, Tornear and Owlwhisker pace up and down behind Crowfeather, Ashfoot, and Onestar. When Gorsetail's kits are rescued, Owlwhisker is seen picking up Swallowkit.

Eclipse[]

Owlwhisker, along with Harespring and Ashfoot, are seen finding Brambleclaw, Sandstorm, Hollypaw, and Brackenfur, who are coming to talk with Onestar. Although the wind slicks their fur, there is no doubt that they are furious, eyes glittering with rage. Brambleclaw claims that he would not go back into his territory until they have spoken with Onestar, and Owlwhisker narrows his eyes, stating that ThunderClan should stop believing they could come and go on WindClan territory as they pleased. He draws backs his lips, with yellow teeth beneath, and he remarks that he bet they didn't visit Blackstar that often.

Sunrise[]

Owlwhisker is on the dawn patrol with Gorsetail and Weaselfur when Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather come to see Crowfeather. Lionblaze requests for the ThunderClan patrol to wait at a certain spot, as he wants to speak with them. When Lionblaze angrily crosses the border, Owlwhisker demands what he thinks he's doing. When Lionblaze demands to see Crowfeather, he fluffs out his fur to twice his size, and Owlwhisker's voice becomes shrill as he tries to hide his fear. He tells him they would fetch Crowfeather, but that he can wait on his own side of the border.

In the Omen of the Stars arc[]

The Fourth Apprentice[]

Owlwhisker now has an apprentice, Whiskerpaw.

Fading Echoes[]

When two ThunderClan apprentices, Dovepaw and Ivypaw, sneak into WindClan so Dovepaw can visit Sedgewhisker, Weaselfur wakes up the rest of the Clan. Once Onestar hears what happened, he orders Leaftail, Owlwhisker, and Harespring to search the territory for any more signs of ThunderClan. The three cats race away, hackles up.

The Forgotten Warrior[]

Owlwhisker: "How do we know we can trust you? How do we know that you haven't told ThunderClan to attack us?"
Sol: "Of course I have. How else would I get them to trust me? But it's WindClan that I'll be leading into ThunderClan territory."
—Owlwhisker asking how WindClan could trust Sol The Forgotten Warrior, page 161
When Sol orders for WindClan to attack ThunderClan in the tunnels, Owlwhisker is skeptical, and asks how do they know they could trust him, and how they knew he hadn't told ThunderClan to attack them as well. Ivypool reflects that WindClan cats weren't completely mouse-brained to her, and Sol replies that he did, but it would be WindClan that he would lead into ThunderClan territory. Owlwhisker then hears Ivypool move a pebble, and asks what was that, who was there, and if some cat was eavesdropping on them. In the battle in the tunnels, he fights with Dovewing, and the latter charges into Owlwhisker's side and shoves him toward the nearest tunnel opening. Owlwhisker pushes back, but his paws are unsteady, and after a few heartbeats, he turns and limps away.

The Last Hope[]

As Jayfeather is being attacked by Dark Forest cats, Owlwhisker is on a patrol with Nightcloud, Crouchpaw, and Gorsetail. He calls out to Jayfeather, asking if he was alright, and if he fell into a thorn bush, which Jayfeather confirms that he did. Owlwhisker brushes Jayfeather, and then briskly offers to escort Jayfeather to the border. He then ignores Nightcloud's comment, and sniffs Jayfeather's pelt, noting that it was only a few scratches, before heading down to the shore and telling the others to come with him.
Jayfeather quickens his pace, using scent to follow Owlwhisker's pawsteps. Once there, Jayfeather attempts to shake off the patrol of WindClan cats by assuring them that he can make it to camp on his own, but Owlwhisker insists that they go with him. Owlwhisker then calls to Nightcloud and Crouchpaw, and informs them to hunt, as he would catch up with them later. Jayfeather feels a prickle of relief, and silently thanks Owlwhisker. Jayfeather then assures Owlwhisker that he could make it home by himself, and Owlwhisker replies that he knew, but he desired to speak with Firestar. When they arrive, Owlwhisker informs Brambleclaw that Jayfeather had stumbled into a thorn bush.
As Crowfeather leads a patrol, Jayfeather tastes the scents of Whitetail and Owlwhisker as they join their Clanmate. Crowfeather states that Jayfeather was not a medicine cat, and Owlwhisker offers to escort him to their border. Whitetail states that he was not doing any harm, but Owlwhisker retorts that he was a murderer. During the battle with the Dark Forest, Owlwhisker states that they would deal with the other Dark Forest warriors, and he disappears through the barrier with Whitetail and Boulderfur on his tail.

In the Super Editions[]

Onestar's Confession[]

Owlpaw returns to camp with the morning border patrol. When WindClan's territory is attacked by Twolegs, Onewhisker saves Owlpaw, digging him out of the tunnels. Ashfoot later sends Owlpaw on patrol with Mudclaw and Tornear. On the way to a Gathering, Onestar recalls announcing Owlwhisker and Weaselfur's warrior names at the previous Gathering. Owlwhisker and Tornear lead Brambleclaw and Thornclaw to the WindClan camp with Crowfeather, and after the ThunderClan cats report Crowfeather's trespassing, Onestar sends Owlwhisker and Tornear to escort them back to the border.

Bramblestar's Storm[]

When the four Clans gather for their usual Gathering, Blackstar, leader of ShadowClan, mentions the fallen warriors for all four Clans in a tribute. Owlwhisker is among the fallen, alongside many of his WindClan allies.

In the Novellas[]

Hollyleaf's Story[]

Sol: "This is your chance for true glory! Onestar may want peace, but that is a sign of weakness! Attack ThunderClan through the tunnels, and victory will be easy over those mouse-munching idiots!"
Owlwhisker: "Sol's right! We've listened to Onestar for too long. He should let us fight now, do what we've trained for, and teach those ThunderClan cats that we're stronger than they think!"
—Owlwhisker supporting Sol's claim Hollyleaf's Story, page 62
When Hollyleaf spies on WindClan, Owlwhisker says that he believes Sol is right in his teachings, also adding that he thinks he has listened to Onestar for far too long. He claims that he should let them fight, do that they had trained for, and teach ThunderClan that they were stronger than they thought. Several cats agree with him in a chorus of yowls. As a sound is made in the tunnels, Owlwhisker asks what it was, and if some cat was eavesdropping on them.

In the Stand-Alone Graphic Novels[]

Winds of Change[]

After Tallstar's death, Firestar announces that Tallstar named Onewhisker deputy before he died, and Mudclaw angrily challenges that to the crowd, including Owlpaw. He attends Tallstar's vigil, and is excited when WindClan finally reaches their new home. Later, Onewhisker orders Mudclaw to train Owlpaw and Weaselpaw how to fight foxes, with Mudclaw instructing Owlpaw to aim for Weaselpaw's paws to trip him. Onewhisker stops the training session when Mudclaw orders Weaselpaw to attack Owlpaw as if he were fighting Firestar. He participates in Mudclaw's rebellion on the side of Onewhisker, and fights Blackclaw when Firestar topples the black warrior off of the apprentice.
