Stormfur

Stormfur is a large, muscular, long-haired dark gray tom with amber eyes. He has a broad head and shoulders, thick, sleek fur, with hints of silver on his muzzle.
Stormfur is a cave-guard of the Tribe of Rushing Water. Stormkit was born to Graystripe of ThunderClan and Silverstream of RiverClan alongside his sister, Featherkit. However, his mother died during the kitting, and after being temporarily fostered by Goldenflower in ThunderClan, Graystripe took his kits to RiverClan where they were fostered by Mosspelt, with Dawnkit as their foster sister. Stormpaw was mentored by the RiverClan deputy, Stonefur; however, he, Stonefur, Featherpaw, and Mistyfoot were held prisoner in TigerClan under Tigerstar for being half-Clan. After Stonefur's death, Stormpaw escaped to ThunderClan and was temporarily mentored by Graystripe. He fought in the battle against BloodClan before returning to RiverClan.
As a warrior, Stormfur took part on the journey to the sun-drown-place during which he met the Tribe, who believed him to be prophesied to defeat Sharptooth. However, Feathertail was the true cat of the prophecy and died fulfilling it. During the Great Journey, Stormfur decided to stay with the Tribe and Brook, whom he had fallen in love with. However, after failing to drive out invading rogues, he and Brook were exiled and joined RiverClan. After being exiled from RiverClan due to Hawkfrost's schemes, he and Brook joined ThunderClan before returning to the mountains. He and Brook became parents to Lark and Pine and later had a second litter of Breeze and Feather, where he later briefly reunited with his father during Graystripe's travel to the forest territories.

Stormfur returns to the forest with the others and informs their father of Feathertail's sacrifice. 
:During the Great Journey, Stormfur joins the Tribe, becoming a cave-guard and taking Brook as a mate. Stormfur and Brook eventually return to the Clans after being exiled and live with RiverClan for a short time.

But once you have his trust, he is a reliable friend you can count on. He is an honorable warrior, who does not hesitate to fight for what is right.
==Relationships==
===Brook Where Small Fish Swim===
:Brook is Stormfur's mate. She is the first Tribe cat Stormfur meets and she is friendly to him. As they hunt together, Stormfur grows to admire her skills, and wonders how he can feel so close to a cat he barely knows. When Stoneteller reveals that Stormfur is the prophesized cat to save them from Sharptooth and keeps him prisoner, Stormfur feels betrayed by Brook's closeness and Brook is hurt by his sharp words. However, after his friends rescue him, Stormfur feels guilty for leaving Brook and her Tribe to deal with Sharptooth, and when he returns to help the Tribe, Brook welcomes him. After Feathertail dies killing Sharptooth, Brook briefly comforts him. They joyfully embrace when they reunite as the Clans shelter with the Tribe on their way through the mountains. Stormfur decides to remain with the Tribe to be with Brook, realizing that he loves her and feels he is at home in the mountains. As the Clans leave the mountains, Squirrelpaw notices Stormfur and Brook moving in step with each other. 
:When rogues begin creating trouble for the Tribe, Stormfur suggests fighting them as a demonstration of strength. Brook supports Stormfur's idea, but the battle fails and Jag dies. Stormfur is exiled, and Brook insists she will leave with him. Stormfur and Brook arrive at ThunderClan after the badger attack and assist with the rebuilding before leaving for RiverClan. When Brook accidentally catches prey over the ShadowClan border, Stormfur defends her from Hawkfrost's angry rebutes, especially when he implies she does not belong in RiverClan. When some RiverClan cats suggest exiling her for breaking the warrior code, Stormfur insists he will go with her and reassures Brook that she is still learning their ways. He fights Hawkfrost when the dark tabby pushes him over the edge verbally, which is enough for Leopardstar to exile him and Brook. Brambleclaw follows them and offers them a place in ThunderClan. Stormfur and Brook become ThunderClan warriors. After the Tribe asks for Stormfur and Brook's help and they defeat the rogues, Stormfur and Brook stay with the Tribe. The pair go on to have two litters of kits: Pine That Clings to Rock and Lark that Sings at Dawn, and Feather of Flying Hawk and Breeze That Rustles the Leaves. 
===Squirrelstar===
:Stormfur admires Squirrelflight and considers her a friend. During their journey to find Midnight and return to their homes, Stormfur feels a stab of jealously when he spotted Brambleclaw curled up around Squirrelpaw. However, he told himself that he knew better than to choose a mate from another Clan. While they are with the Tribe, Stormfur realizes what he feels for Squirrelpaw is different from his feelings towards Brook. When Stormfur is reunited with Brook, Squirrelpaw worries that his heart will be broken again when they have to leave the Tribe. However, Stormfur asks Squirrelpaw to go hunting with him and reveals that he is staying with the Tribe to be with Brook. Squirrelpaw is distraught by his news, but Brambleclaw comforts her.
===Feathertail===
:Feathertail was Stormfur's sister, and she considered him her only friend for a while. After their father was exiled from RiverClan, Stormkit and Featherkit decided to remain in RiverClan. While Stormfur finds it easy to fit right into RiverClan, Feathertail cannot, which leads to some jealousy on Feathertail's part. Stormfur wishes to help his sister learn to forgive their Clanmates, and is pleased when she starts opening up to Sasha, Moth, and Hawk. However, she distances herself from him when she learns that Hawk and Moth's father is Tigerstar, but chooses not to reveal the truth to him. When Feathertail volunteers to join a patrol to kill the fox that's been menacing RiverClan, Stormfur immediately volunteers as well to protect his sister. When the fox injures his sister, Stormfur immediately jumps into battle. 
:He goes with her on the journey to find Midnight despite not being one of the chosen cats because he worries for her safety. He was skeptical of Feathertail's feelings towards Crowpaw, a WindClan tom. Feathertail vowed to rescue her brother when the Tribe took him hostage, and rushes in after Brambleclaw to rescue her brother. She is relieved to find him still alive. When Crowpaw is trapped by Sharptooth, Feathertail realizes what she must do and gives her brother a loving yet sorrowful look before flinging herself at a rock to kill Sharptooth. Feathertail dies and in her dying breaths, she urges Stormfur to go home. Stormfur is wrecked with grief and guilt that his original plan to kill Sharptooth failed and it resulted in Feathertail's death. On their way back home, Stormfur occasionally forgets that she is gone and starts to ask for her opinions before trailing off.
===Silverstream===
:Silverstream is Stormfur and Feathertail's mother. She died giving birth to her kits, and Stormfur never knew her. While in the mountains, Silverstream's spirit visits Stormfur in his dreams and encourages him to help the Tribe. After Feathertail's death, Stormfur briefly argues with Silverstream before his sister's spirit joins their mother.
