"Not at first. But then I helped Kestrelflight when he was treating some sick cats, and he offered to train me. That was when I realized that the weird dreams I'd been having were actually StarClan trying to get in touch with me."
— Whistlepaw to Frostpaw in River, page 29


Whistlepaw is a gray tabby she-cat[1] with amber eyes.[5]

History[]

In The Broken Code arc[]

Lost Stars[]

Whistlekit is a WindClan kit, and the daughter of Oatclaw and Featherpelt along with her littermates, Songkit and Flutterkit.

The Silent Thaw[]

Whistlepaw is now an apprentice with Hootwhisker as her mentor.

Darkness Within[]

"I've been thinking about taking on an apprentice. Whistlepaw seems interested in herbs. [She's] been helping me take care of Emberfoot. [She] appears to have the right kind of instincts."
―Kestrelflight about training Whistlepaw Darkness Within, page 187
At the half-moon meeting, Kestrelflight announces that he has been interested in taking on an apprentice and has noticed Whistlepaw's skills when she helped him treat Emberfoot's whitecough. Shadowsight and the other medicine cats argue if it would be a good idea to train an apprentice without StarClan's approval since they are still silent. Mothwing suggests Whistlepaw can still learn the medicinal aspects, but Willowshine and Alderheart disagree. However, Kestrelflight firmly mews that it is his decision alone and he intends to train Whistlepaw despite the absence of StarClan.

A Light in the Mist[]

Kestrelflight has stated that there are reasons to celebrate, since StarClan has returned, and that he has finally made Whistlepaw his apprentice. He later reaffirms this, saying that StarClan has approved of his choice to train Whistlepaw and that she will become a fine medicine cat in time.

In the A Starless Clan arc[]

River[]

Whistlepaw: "It'll be good to have another apprentice here. I've only been training for a few moons. I started out as a warrior apprentice."
Frostpaw: "You didn't know you were chosen by StarClan?"
Whistlepaw: "Not at first. But then I helped Kestrelflight when he was treating some sick cats, and he offered to train me. That was when I realized that the weird dreams I'd been having were actually StarClan trying to get in touch with me."
Frostpaw: "And you get to talk to StarClan now?"
Whistlepaw: "Yes, at these Moonpool meetings. It's so amazing! Barkface, who was Kestrelflight's mentor, has come to me a couple of times, and he's already taught me a lot."
—Whistlepaw describing her medicine cat experiences to Frostpaw River, pages 29-30
Mothwing introduces her new apprentice, Frostpaw, to Kestrelflight and Whistlepaw. Whistlepaw is delighted that there is a new apprentice to speak with, explaining how she recently started her training and how she used to be a warrior apprentice. Whistlepaw explains how she used to help Kestrelflight in his den until he asked if she wanted to be his apprentice. Barkface, Kestrelflight's mentor, has already taught her many times from StarClan. Frostpaw thinks that Whistlepaw is nice, and Whistlepaw shows her how to communicate with StarClan by touching the Moonpool. At the next Moonpool meeting, Whistlepaw excitedly greets Frostpaw.

Sky[]

The medicine cats meet at the Moonpool for an emergency meeting to discuss the catmint shortage. They decide to send a joint-Clan patrol with Alderheart, Fidgetflake, and Puddleshine since Mothwing and Kestrelflight have apprentices and they would be too inexperienced to be left alone.

Shadow[]

"I could ask Whistlepaw, the WindClan medicine cat apprentice. She was always friendly to me when we met at Gatherings and the half-moon meetings. And she's been training longer, so she knows more about StarClan."
―Frostpaw about Whistlepaw Shadow, page 241
When Frostpaw receives a vision from Reedwhisker, Splashtail prompts her to speak with an experienced medicine cat to verify it as a true vision. Frostpaw decides to speak to Whistlepaw in the middle of the night. However, Frostpaw is attacked while on her way to WindClan.

Thunder[]

Whistlepaw discovers Frostpaw severely wounded on WindClan territory and provides aid to her injuries. Honoring Frostpaw's request for secrecy, Whistlepaw brings Frostpaw to the horseplace where Smoky resides. There, she teaches his kits, Little Daisy and Coriander, how to make a poultice to treat Frostpaw's wound. To protect Frostpaw's safety, Whistlepaw stages Frostpaw's death by placing blood and some of Frostpaw's fur where she found her, deceiving her Clan by informing them of Frostpaw's demise.

Wind[]

After Frostpaw reveals the murder attempt against her, Whistlepaw confesses to helping her when she was injured and keeping her secret, as well as faking Frostpaw's death. Harestar promises that she will be punished, and Kestrelflight is disappointed in her. Later, when Sunbeam's patrol meets Breezepelt's, Breezepelt mentions that Harestar and Kestrelflight are upset with Whistlepaw. At the half-moon meeting, Whistlepaw is not present, evidently left behind by Kestrelflight. When Sunbeam is caught on WindClan territory by Crowfeather and taken to WindClan camp, Whistlepaw sympathizes with her, saying she is still being punished for keeping Frostpaw a secret. When Harestar approaches, Whistlepaw wishes her good luck and leaves her.
After a tree falls on WindClan's camp, Whistlepaw desperately tries to save Leafkit. Frostpaw convinces her to come out so that they can figure out how to save the kit, and with help, Whistlepaw struggles back out, injured. Kestrelflight takes her to the medicine den. When Leafkit is rescued, Sunbeam and Nightheart go to see Whistlepaw, who is badly injured. Frostpaw helps care for her, telling her that she is fortunate to have survived and apologizing for involving her in her troubles. Kestrelflight returns and apologizes to both apprentices, before sending Frostpaw away.
