Silverstream

"You're obsessed with Clan loyalty. If you could see beyond your nose, you'd realize...there's a lot more to life than what we've got in one little Clan. Graystripe is a great and worthy warrior. If the warrior code can't deal with this...then maybe the warrior code needs to change. I know you're worried because you love me. And I love you too. I'll always be your daughter. But you have to let me choose my own future."

Silverstream is a silver-and-black tabby she-cat with blue eyes.

Silverstream was a RiverClan warrior under Crookedstar's leadership in the forest territories. Silverkit was born to Crookedstar and Willowbreeze alongside her sisters, Minnowkit and Willowkit, though she was the only kit to survive after her mother and sisters died due to greencough. Sunfish took her in as if she were her own, and she gained two adopted sisters: Vixenkit and Grasskit, and later Whitekit. She was apprenticed as Silverpaw, and after becoming a warrior, Silverstream fell in love with a ThunderClan warrior, Graystripe, after she saved him from nearly drowning in an icy river. The two often met in secret, much to the displeasure of Mistyfoot, Leopardfur, and Fireheart. After, she became pregnant with Graystripe's kits, however, their bond only became closer, but Silverstream soon died of blood loss during her kitting. This left their children, who would later be named Stormfur and Feathertail, without a mother. Graystripe initially kept his and Silverstream's children in ThunderClan, but he soon relocated to RiverClan in an attempt to keep Stormkit and Featherkit within their mother's Clan, RiverClan.

After ascending to StarClan, she participated in the leadership ceremonies for Leopardstar, Firestar, and Mistystar, giving all three leaders one of their nine lives. Silverstream is also the cat to visit her son, Stormfur, and tells him that he must return to the Tribe of Rushing Water to help them. She later reunited with Feathertail after her daughter gave her life to save the Tribe, and she welcomes her daughter to StarClan. After Feathertail's passing, the two StarClan she-cats sit together and watch over Crowpaw during his warrior ceremony. Silverstream was proud when Graystripe found a new mate, Millie, and reunited with him during the battle against the Dark Forest. Silverstream later joined StarClan during their mission to the Dark Forest, and she was present during the defeat of Ashfur. After Graystripe's death as a result of the overall conflict, she and Feathertail reunited with him, although both she-cats appeared unwelcoming to his affection towards his last mate, Millie.

The Prophecies Begin

"I can't stop seeing him. I love him."

―Silverstream to Fireheart about Graystripe ^{Fire and Ice, page 163}

Silverstream rescues Graystripe when he accidentally falls into an icy river, and the two begin meeting in secret, having fallen in love. During a battle, Graystripe's friend Fireheart refuses to attack Silverstream, causing Tigerclaw to suspect he is a traitor. Despite Mistyfoot and Fireheart pressuring them to stop meeting, they are soon expecting kits, and Silverstream is confident that the kits will be accepted as her father is Clan leader. However, the kits come early, and Silverstream does not survive. RiverClan demands ThunderClan give them kits, and Graystripe prevents a battle by allowing this, but he joins RiverClan to raise them. Moons later, Silverstream appears in StarClan, giving Firestar one of his nine lives, the gift of loyalty to know what is right.

The New Prophecy

"Don't you know? I am your mother, Silverstream. And as for what you must do — Stormfur, remember that a question can have many answers..."

―Silverstream to Stormfur ^{Moonrise, page 240}

Silverstream visits Stormfur in his dreams, encouraging him to return to the Tribe and to fulfill their prophecy. She mourns for her daughter's death and guides her to StarClan. Leafpaw spots her and Feathertail watching Crowfeather's warrior ceremony, and later at the Moonpool.

Omen of the Stars

When Jayfeather recalls the cats that gave Firestar his nine lives after the leader's death, he says Silverstream gave him a life of loyalty.

Quotes

"Silverkit is quite a pawful, but so cute!"

―Beetlenose about Silverkit ^{Crookedstar's Promise, page 487}

Graystripe: "You followed me!"

Fireheart: "What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous this is?"

^{Fire and Ice, chapter 14}

Fireheart: "But you come from different Clans! You can't ever claim these kits as your own, Graystripe. And Silverstream, you won't be able to tell anyone in your Clan who the father is."

Silverstream: "I don't care. I'll know. That's all that matters."

^{Forest of Secrets, chapter 14}

Graystripe: "Silverstream!"

Silverstream: "Good-bye, Graystripe. I love you. Take care of our kits."

^{Forest of Secrets, page 222}

Silverstream: "Hello, beloved."

Graystripe: "Silverstream! It's so good to see you...I've missed you so much."

^{The Lost Warrior, pages 52-53}

"Millie is close to joining us. What can we do? Graystripe doesn't deserve to have his heart broken again."

―Silverstream ^{Long Shadows, chapter 11}

"It's so like Silverstream to care."

―Graystripe to Jaypaw about Silverstream ^{Long Shadows, page 149}

Graystripe: "Silverstream!"

Silverstream: "I'll be waiting."

^{The Last Hope, page 326}

Ravenpaw: "I... I'm not going to see my home again, am I?"

Silverstream: "No. But you must not be afraid of dying somewhere else. All that matters is that you are not alone, and that you know you are loved."

^{Ravenpaw's Farewell, chapter 9}

"Silverstream was a feisty, headstrong young cat who could bend her father to her will with little effort. But her impulsive nature was tempered by gentleness inherited from her mother, and she was loved by all her Clanmates. Silverstream was a RiverClan warrior through and through, with freshwater running through her veins, and she never intended to fall in love with a ThunderClan warrior."

―Narrator describing Silverstream ^{The Ultimate Guide, chapter 9}

"It is hard to know if Silverstream would have been happy to live in ThunderClan, closed in beneath trees and out of sight and sound of her beloved river. But if love could give her courage to break the warrior code, it might have given her a chance of happiness with Graystripe."

―Narrator ^{The Ultimate Guide, page 123}
