| "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[2]-and-black[7] tabby she-cat[2] with blue eyes.[8]
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. 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.

Personality[]
- Silverstream is compassionate,[14] altruistic,[15] kind, and protective of those she loves,[16] but also stubborn,[17] proud, and impetuous.[18][19] Adored by her father and the rest of RiverClan, she believes herself to be above the warrior code. The fact that she is the leader's daughter sometimes makes her unreasonable,[20][21][22] insolent, and selfish. Silverstream is convinced that her forbidden relationship with Graystripe and their kits will be accepted thanks to her relationship with Crookedstar,[23] and is not worried at all of the consequences that their relationship could bring. However, Silverstream has a good nature. Her ideals are understandable; she places love above everything else, and questions the warrior code in a relevant way.[24]

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
