== Biography ==
=== Hawkwing’s Journey ===
Hawkpaw is a SkyClan apprentice under the mentorship of Ebonyclaw. After Duskpaw dies from smoke inhalation after trying to steal some Twoleg food, Hawkpaw blames himself for his brother's death, and Sharpclaw's distance doesn't help him cope any better. He earns his warrior name of Hawkwing, along with his siblings, Cloudmist and Blossomheart, and encounters Darktail who SkyClan assumes is apart of a prophecy that Echosong received. Hawkwing and his Clanmates go on a journey to find the Clans under Darktail's instructions. However, badgers attack them, and Billystorm is killed. Darktail later reveals his true nature by leading his rogues to drive SkyClan out of the gorge. Several of Hawkwing's Clanmates are lost or are killed, including his father. The remaining SkyClan cats begin their journey to try to find the other Clans.
Hawkwing becomes mates with Pebbleshine, and she reveals she is expecting his kits. He loses her after she gets trapped in a monster. Plumwillow asks him to help raise her kits, since her mate, Sandynose, had disappeared after the battle with Darktail. He raises Finkit, Reedkit, and Dewkit with her until Sandynose returns in the middle of the journey. He also mentors Curlypaw, where he saved her by killing Dodge when she was held captive, but eventually, she leaves to become a kittypet. After Waspwhisker is kidnapped by Twolegs, Leafstar appoints Hawkwing as the next SkyClan deputy, and he helps lead the Clan on the remainder of their journey. The meaning of Echosong's final prophecy is revealed to Hawkwing and Leafstar: streaks of "blood" across the sky, leading them to the Clans.
=== A Vision of Shadows ===
Hawkwing is the deputy of SkyClan as his Clan journeys to find the other Clans. Twigpaw, following the signs of Alderheart's dreams, finds the struggling Clan and brings them back to ThunderClan. Hawkwing realizes that Twigpaw and Violetpaw are his and Pebbleshine's lost daughters, and he lovingly reunites with them. Hawkwing becomes close to his daughters, as they had always desired to have a relationship with family.
After driving out Darktail, Hawkwing encourages his daughters to join SkyClan and finds himself relating more with Violetpaw through their shared grief caused by Darktail. He leads a journey to find their missing Clanmates and returns with them back to SkyClan, reuniting with his mother, Cherrytail, and sister, Cloudmist, along the way. Twigpaw leaves to return to ThunderClan, and Hawkwing promises to remain in touch. He helps settle in his Clan in their new territory and manages the growing tensions between the ShadowClan cats when the two Clans merge. Hawkwing participates in the conflict with ShadowClan and leads his Clan briefly back to the gorge until the other Clans bring them back.
=== The Broken Code ===
His daughter has given birth to Tree's kits, Needlekit and Rootkit. He and the other deputies organize their warriors to try to push a large rock onto the ice covering the Moonpool. However, their results prove fruitless, and StarClan is still silent. He stands by Leafstar and SkyClan when Bramblestar's impostor starts a tyrannical rule of ThunderClan. When the impostor's identity is revealed to be Ashfur, Hawkwing and the ShadowClan leader Tigerstar go to interrogate the dark warrior about him, making the ghosts of the fallen suffer. While questioning the dead warrior, Ashfur gaslights Hawkwing into attacking him by insulting Rootspring, and Hawkwing and Tigerstar nearly kill Ashfur until they are stopped by Shadowsight.
