"Let Tigerstar say what he likes. I'll tell RiverClan myself today. We're not ashamed of our mother. She was a noble leader—and our father was a great deputy." |
— Stonefur to Fireheart in The Darkest Hour, page 11 |
Stonefur is a pale blue-gray tom[17] with blue eyes.[18]
Stonefur was a RiverClan deputy under Leopardstar's leadership in the forest territories. He was born as Stonekit to Bluefur and Oakheart alongside his sisters, Mistykit and Mosskit in ThunderClan; however, Bluefur gave her kits to Oakheart to be raised in RiverClan in order to become deputy, and Stonekit and Mistykit were adopted by Graypool. He became an apprentice and later a warrior as Stonefur. He mentored Shadepelt, and after becoming Leopardstar's first deputy, Stonefur mentored Stormfur. When Stonefur learned he was half-Clan, he was imprisoned by Tigerstar alongside Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw. To prove his loyalty to TigerClan, Stonefur was ordered to kill Featherpaw and Stormpaw; however, he refused and fought Blackfoot and Darkstripe to protect the apprentices, but in the end, Blackfoot and Darkstripe killed him. Stonefur ascended to StarClan and gave Mistystar one of her nine lives.

The Prophecies Begin
- "You'll have to kill me first, Tigerstar!"
- ―Stonefur to Tigerstar when refusing to kill Stormpaw and Featherpaw The Darkest Hour, page 169
- He becomes Leopardstar's deputy after Crookedstar's passing to greencough, and he becomes a mentor to Graystripe's son, Stormpaw, while his sister, Mistyfoot, mentors Featherpaw. During another battle over Sunningrocks, he and Mistyfoot attack Bluestar, but Fireheart intervenes, revealing that Bluestar is their mother. They reject Bluestar, saying that she is no mother of theirs, leaving Bluestar heartbroken. When Bluestar fell over the gorge in order to save her Clan from dogs, Stonefur and Mistyfoot, along with Fireheart, assist in bringing her to the shore where the two reconcile with their mother as she loses her ninth life. The two siblings stay briefly in ThunderClan to mourn their mother one last time before returning to RiverClan; however, Frostfur and other cats get suspicious when the two are sharing tongues with Bluestar. Fireheart admits they are Bluestar's kits, and the Clan remembers when Bluestar lost her kits those many moons ago.
- Under Tigerstar's influence, Leopardstar merges RiverClan with ShadowClan to become TigerClan. With Tigerstar taking more control, he imprisons all of the half-Clan cats, as he sees them as abominations. Tigerstar orders Stonefur to prove his loyalty by killing Graystripe and Silverstream's half-Clan kits, Stormpaw and Featherpaw. Stonefur refuses, and Tigerstar orders Darkstripe to kill him. When Stonefur overpowers him, Blackfoot is brought in and kills Stonefur. He joins StarClan and reunites with his mother, father, and his other sister, Mosskit.

- In Bluestar's Prophecy, Bluefur gives birth to Stonekit, Mistykit, and Mosskit, and the Clan believes Thrushpelt to be their father. However, Bluefur realizes that in order to save her Clan from Thistleclaw's tyranny, she must give up her kits to become deputy. She sneaks them out one night, but due to the heavy snow of leaf-bare, Mosskit dies of hypothermia along the way. Stonekit and Mistykit wail for their mother to come back as Oakheart leads them to RiverClan. Moons later, Crookedstar announces their warrior names at a Gathering, Stonefur and Mistyfoot.
- In Crookedstar's Promise, Oakheart "discovers" two kits and brings them to Graypool who decides to foster them after her other kits, Splashkit and Morningkit, died. The kits have trouble adjusting to eating fish, much to the Clan's displeasure, and they wonder what rogue would abandon her kits in the snow. Crookedstar discovers that they're Oakheart and Bluefur's kits from Mapleshade, and he confronts his brother. Oakheart confesses the truth, and Crookedstar agrees to keep his brother's secret. He becomes an apprentice, and moons later, the Clan congratulates Stonefur's bravery for chasing off a Twoleg.
