Cats of the Clans/RiverClan

==Chapter description==
:Rock tells Mosskit, Adderkit, and Blossomkit about RiverClan, the Clan Mosskit's father was part of. They love water and are the only Clan to eat fish, and because of this, they are almost always well-fed. However, Rock comments that they seldom share prey with others. Due to them living by the river, Twolegs often scare away fish and even capture warriors to be kittypets.
======
:Crookedstar was the leader of RiverClan when Firestar came to the forest. His jaw broke and became crooked when he was a kit, and because of this, he had to work even harder to earn respect. He always knew of Mistyfoot and Stonefur's true parentage, but he welcomed them into RiverClan since he saw how they could be beneficial in battles against ThunderClan. However, Crookedstar was less welcoming when Graystripe joined RiverClan. His farsightedness made him a strong leader.
======
:Leopardstar was Crookedstar's deputy, but she did not have his wisdom; she formed an alliance with Tigerstar that nearly destroyed the Clans. She realized this when the half-Clan cats were made to fight each other, but she did not want to admit she was wrong. However, she joined LionClan to save her Clanmates, but she has also not forgotten how much her mistakes almost costed everyone.
======
:Rock states that Mistyfoot and Stonefur are are Mosskit's littermates. Oakheart gave his two surviving kits to Graypool, and their parentage stayed secret for a long time. Leopardstar made Mistyfoot her deputy, and she and Stonefur also mentored Feathertail and Stormfur. However, it was revealed that they were half-Clan cats, so Mistyfoot fled to ThunderClan while Stonefur was caught and killed. She later returned to RiverClan.
======
:Silverstream was Crookedstar's only daughter, and she fell in love with the ThunderClan cat Graystripe. She did not want to be in love with Graystripe, but Rock notes that love makes cats risk everything for a few moments. In the end, Silverstream died at Sunningrocks while having her kits.
======
:Feathertail and her brother, Stormfur, were deeply affected by Tigerstar's brutality against half-Clan cats; after Stonefur's death, she temporarily went to ThunderClan for refuge. StarClan chose her to go on the quest to find Midnight, and Stormfur went with her. She was gentle while loyal and fierce and died saving the Tribe from Sharptooth.
======
:Rock says that Stormfur would not let Feathertail depart on her quest alone after almost losing her to Tigerstar. He found that he belonged in the mountains; he was also suited to their hunting style and could not forgive RiverClan for betraying him to Tigerstar. Only Brook trusted him within the Tribe, and they were forced out and instead followed the Clans.
======
:Hawkfrost was the son of Tigerstar and Sasha, and his mother took him to RiverClan in hopes that he would have a better life there. He aspired for leadership and became deputy but also knew he needed more to earn respect, so he faked an omen that made his sister, Mothwing, a medicine cat. Tigerstar visited Hawkfrost in dreams, leading to the plot to lure Firestar into a fox trap. In the end, however, Hawkfrost was killed by his half-brother, Brambleclaw.
======
:Mothwing is a medicine cat even when she does not believe in StarClan because of how greatly she values the well-being of her Clan. However, it also meant that she was unable to receive warnings or prophecies, so StarClan found Willowpaw as a solution. Willowpaw became Mothwing's apprentice and was able to receive training not only relating to healing through dreams, and Rock concludes that StarClan has finally come to a good solution.
