"How dare a WindClan cat judge RiverClan after what Onestar did! Cats died when he closed WindClan's borders. He deprived them of herbs that could save them, all because he couldn't face the fact that he'd fathered Darktail."
— Sneezecloud about Onestar in Darkest Night, page 121


Sneezecloud is a thick-furred[6] broad-shouldered[6] gray-and-white tom[7] with a long tail,[6] and glossy fur.[6]

Sneezecloud is a RiverClan warrior who has served under Mistystar's, Splashtail's, and Icestar's leaderships in the lake territories. He was born as Sneezekit to Graymist alongside his brother, Mallowkit. As an apprentice, Sneezepaw was mentored by Otterheart, and he later earned his warrior name, Sneezecloud. He became mates with Havenpelt and sired Fogkit and Splashkit with her. He participated in a secret meeting questioning the impostor's behavior towards the codebreakers. After Tigerstar and ShadowClan's takeover, Sneezecloud and Havenpelt had another litter of kits: Floatkit, Rapidkit, and Troutkit. Sneezecloud followed his son's cruel reign for the safety of his newest litter, though Sneezecloud came to regret his actions.

History[]

In the Power of Three arc[]

Dark River[]

Sneezekit: "Graymist! Graymist!"
Swallowtail: "Sneezekit! What are you doing away from your mother?"
—Swallowtail worried about Sneezekit, who wandered away from Graymist Dark River, page 134
Sneezekit and his brother, Mallowkit, are the two young kits of Graymist, a RiverClan queen. When Hollypaw and Lionpaw arrive on the island for a Gathering, he had become separated from his mother, and wandered the island looking for her. Swallowtail, who had been keeping an eye on Mallowkit, notices Sneezekit looking for his mother, and snatches him up, taking him to safety. During Hollypaw's stay with RiverClan on the island, Sneezekit is seen with his mother and brother, who were heading down to the shore of the island to get a drink from the water.

Long Shadows[]

Sneezekit becomes an apprentice, Sneezepaw, along with his brother, Mallowpaw. His mentor is Otterheart.

In the Omen of the Stars arc[]

The Fourth Apprentice[]

«They all looked thin and exhausted, but their eyes glittered with hostility and their fur was bristling as if they would leap into battle for a couple of mousetails.»
—Narrator about Sneezepaw, Reedwhisker, and Otterheart The Fourth Apprentice, page 19
His brother has become a warrior named Mallownose. Sneezepaw goes on a patrol around the lake that consists of himself, Reedwhisker, Graymist, and his mentor, Otterheart. They confront Cloudtail and his patrol from ThunderClan, who are there to fetch water from the lake, which has dried up from a drought. Although initially showing distrust, Reedwhisker allows Cloudtail and the other ThunderClan cats, Berrynose and Lionblaze, to pass their patrol and obtain water from the lake.

In the A Vision of Shadows arc[]

The Apprentice's Quest[]

He is now a warrior named Sneezecloud.

Darkest Night[]

Sneezecloud is part of a border patrol consisting of himself, Duskfur, and Shimmerpelt. The RiverClan cats confront Jayfeather, Alderheart, Puddleshine, and Kestrelflight, who claim that they need to speak to Mistystar, Mothwing, and Willowshine. The medicine cats tell RiverClan's patrol that they need to deliver a prophecy sent from StarClan to RiverClan's leader and medicine cats. Shimmerpelt tells them that the border surrounding RiverClan is closed, but when Jayfeather asks if it is closed to StarClan too, Sneezecloud looks past the medicine cats, noting that he does not see any StarClan cats behind them.
The medicine cats continue to try to convince RiverClan warriors to let them see Mistystar, but without success. Jayfeather states that they must share StarClan's news, but Sneezecloud shows his teeth and answers that if it is important, they will let RiverClan know. Kestrelflight points out that StarClan may have only wanted to share with cats behaving like a real Clan, and Sneezecloud angrily asks how a WindClan cat dare judge RiverClan after cats suffered from Onestar closing his border, all because he could not face the fact that he fathered Darktail. Kestrelflight answers that it has nothing to do with Onestar, who is now dead.

In The Broken Code arc[]

Lost Stars[]

He and Havenpelt have become mates, and he is now the father to Splashkit and Fogkit.

The Silent Thaw[]

"Bramblestar has only been trying to make sure the Clans follow StarClan's message about the codebreakers. It's going to be hard convincing every cat that he's an impostor when StarClan's on his side."
―Sneezecloud about Bramblestar The Silent Thaw, page 239
His kits are now apprentices. He and Dappletuft appear at a secret meeting of cats concerned about Bramblestar's behavior. Sneezecloud is critical against Bramblestar's wishes to punish the codebreakers. He agrees to overthrow Bramblestar and is surprised to learn that he is an impostor. However, he questions if they will gain enough support though Stemleaf insists they will. At a Gathering, Rootpaw spots Sneezecloud and Bristlefrost. When Bramblestar's impostor adamantly insists punishments for the codebreakers, Sneezecloud and others from the meeting shrink away in fear.

In the A Starless Clan arc[]

River[]

"Of course not, Cloverfoot. We have no reason to think he's here. But he went out on a hunt and Mistystar wanted him back in camp. There's nothing to worry about."
―Sneezecloud to Cloverfoot when Reedwhisker disappears River (book), page 103
His kits are now warriors, Splashtail and Fognose. When Mistystar collapses, Mothwing orders Sneezecloud to fetch water, but by the time he returns, Mistystar is already dead. With Reedwhisker missing, Sneezecloud and Brackenpelt arrive in ShadowClan's camp to ask if they've seen him, though Sneezecloud brushes off Cloverfoot's concerns. When Sunbeam brings Hopwhisker to RiverClan to treat her wound, Sunbeam asks Frostpaw if Sneezecloud had found Reedwhisker, and Frostpaw lies that he's fine.

Sky[]

Sneezecloud is in camp when Sunbeam, Hopwhisker, Snaketooth, and Scorchfur arrive in their camp asking for catmint. While reflecting about who should be leader, Frostpaw briefly thinks about Sneezecloud. Sneezecloud hunts with Owlnose, Splashtail, Brackenpelt, Podlight, and Mallownose, though Podlight and Brackenpelt fall into the river when the riverbank collapses. Owlnose decides to send a patrol to check the riverbanks, though he, Sneezecloud, and Splashtail disagree on the patrol size. When Owlnose picks Splashtail to be deputy, Sneezecloud echoes his son's name in disbelief.

Shadow[]

Mothwing tells Frostpaw that Havenpelt is expecting another litter with Sneezecloud.

Thunder[]

Ivypool mentions how Splashtail claimed he only showed up for the truce meetings because his parents are expecting another litter.

Wind[]

Sneezecloud: "What's all this training for, Splashtail? No Clan is threatening us."
Splashtail: "Do you want ShadowClan to come back Do you want us to be invaded and humiliated again? Remember, you’ll have new kits to protect soon."
Sneezecloud: "No, Splashtail."
Splashtail: "Then get on with it. Am I leading a Clan of mice? Tigerstar and ShadowClan invaded us for no reason. But one day, we'll have our revenge!"
—Sneezecloud to Splashtail Wind, chapter 4
When Frostpaw announces at the Gathering that she spoke with StarClan, Sneezecloud questions this, since Frostpaw is not a medicine cat apprentice. Later, Sneezecloud questions his son Splashtail why they are rigorously training for battle, though Splashtail argues that his father will soon have new kits to protect. Later, his mate Havenpelt gives birth to Rapidkit, Floatkit, and Troutkit. Sneezecloud and Gorseclaw later escort Wasp back to ThunderClan after he is caught trespassing.

Star[]

Sneezecloud: "It's going to be okay. Floatkit's tough. Harestar will find her and bring her home."
Havenpelt: "How could Splashtail do this? He's our kit!"
Sneezecloud: "We can never truly know what is in another cat's heart."
—Sneezecloud and Havenpelt after Splashtail escapes with Floatkit Star, chapter 13
While helping Mothwing and Duskfur escape to ThunderClan, Nightheart spots Sneezecloud and Fognose stealing Ridgekit and Duskkit from SkyClan's nursery. Sneezecloud is unconvinced they should be stealing kits, though his daughter insists they will prevent SkyClan from retaliating. When Nightheart offers himself as a hostage over the kits, Sneezecloud relents. Nightheart attempts to escape, but he is caught by Sneezecloud and Fognose.
Sneezecloud, Brackenpelt, Gorseclaw, and Breezeheart nearly killed Nightheart when the other Clans arrive in RiverClan's camp. Splashtail's threats to kill his younger sibling Troutkit prompt Sneezecloud and the other RiverClan warriors to attack. After Splashtail escapes the camp with Floatkit, Sneezecloud reassures his mate that Harestar will bring her back. While RiverClan debates its future, Sneezecloud and Havenpelt agree that RiverClan is their home.
Later, Nightheart, Bayshine, Sunnypelt, Beepaw, Oatclaw, and Appleshine arrive in RiverClan's camp to help them rebuild. Sneezecloud greets them, though he and Nightheart feel uneasy as they both recall their previous encounter. Sneezecloud apologizes for what happened. Nightheart accepts his apology, much to Sneezecloud's visible relief. He instructs the other Clan cats on their rebuilding process. When they pause to eat, Sneezecloud argues they are still warriors despite not having a proper leader and hypothesizes that perhaps they might not need one.

In the Novellas[]

Spotfur's Rebellion[]

At the secret meeting, Sneezecloud agrees with Whorlpelt, and says that Bramblestar is the one who wants to make an example of the codebreakers.
