Goosefeather

Goosefeather is a speckled gray tom with pale blue eyes.
Goosefeather was a ThunderClan elder that served under Doestar's, Pinestar's, and Sunstar's leaderships in the forest territories as a medicine cat. He was born as Goosekit to Daisytoe and Rooktail alongside his sister, Moonkit. Even as a kit, he had an extraordinary gift of being able to predict the future and communicate with StarClan, and due to this, Goosepaw was apprenticed early to Cloudberry, the ThunderClan medicine cat. After four moons of training, he earned his full name of Goosefeather and became a mentor to Featherwhisker. Goosefeather's seemingly outrageous predictions caused his Clanmates to question his sanity, as many of them blamed him for Moonflower's death due to an omen. He also watched his Clanmates fulfill their destinies while he was unable to change the future, such as knowing Pinestar would abandon his Clan to become a kittypet. Goosefeather retired to the elders' den and ascended to StarClan after his death, giving Bluestar one of her nine lives.
==History==
===Super Editions===
:In Crookedstar's Promise, Goosefeather gathers herbs near Sunningrocks when two RiverClan kits, Stormkit and Oakkit, taunt him for trespassing. Goosefeather chases them off, causing Stormkit to slip and break his jaw. Later, Crookedjaw encounters the ThunderClan medicine cat in the Dark Forest confronting Mapleshade.
:In Bluestar's Prophecy, his sister Moonflower has two kits, Bluekit and Snowkit, whom he befriends. When Goosefeather spots flattened fur on a vole, he interprets it as ThunderClan being destroyed by WindClan. He convinces the Clan to raid WindClan, resulting in defeat and Moonflower's death. This failure and his continued ramblings cause his Clanmates to lose faith in their medicine cat. When Goosefeather informs Bluepaw of a prophecy, Snowpaw insists him to be crazy. During Leopardfoot's kitting, Goosefeather ignores her and declares Tigerkit should have never survived. He reminds Bluefur of her prophecy continuously and urges her to give up her kits to their father to prevent Thistleclaw from becoming leader. He later appears in StarClan after his death and gives Bluestar a life for patience.
