Icestar/History

==History==
===In the Power of Three arc===
====Dark River====
:Icewing is a heavily pregnant queen, and she attends a Gathering with Willowpaw fussing over her. Later, after Icewing has her kits, Beetlekit, Petalkit, Grasskit, and Pricklekit, Hollypaw sees her in the RiverClan camp as Mothwing tells the queen to keep Petalkit away from pine needles.
===In the Omen of the Stars arc===
====The Fourth Apprentice====
:Icewing has returned to her warrior duties after spending time in the nursery. Three of her kits are now warriors: Petalfur, Beetlewhisker, and Grasspelt.
====Sign of the Moon====
:Icewing and a few other Clan cats are training in the Dark Forest with Hawkfrost. When Ivypool sees her, she wonders why she was training in the Dark Forest, because she had seemed nice at Gatherings and looked friendly. When Hawkfrost asks a question, Icewing raises her tail and is the one to give the correct answer.
====The Forgotten Warrior====
:Icewing is in the Dark Forest with Beetlewhisker and Hollowflight when Brokenstar warns the Clan cats to be ready for the final signal. When Ivypool questions Brokenstar under her breath in the Dark Forest, Icewing asks if she doubted Brokenstar's decisions. At a Gathering, she nods to Ivypool. Lionblaze sees this and concludes that Icewing must be training in the Dark Forest.
====The Last Hope====
:She suggests that, in the battle, the Dark Forest trainees should scare the cats, and then scar them. Beetlewhisker congratulates his mother on this remark. When Mothwing tells Jayfeather that some RiverClan cats are being argumentative, Icewing is one of the cats mentioned, along with Hollowflight and Beetlewhisker. When Dovewing sends out her special senses, she repeats Icewing's words to the Clan leaders and medicine cats. Icewing says that she would rather train in her own Clan than in the Dark Forest. The leaders ask Dovewing who the traitor is, but Dovewing does not tell them it is Icewing when she sees her white pelt.
:Later, when Dovewing is spying on the Dark Forest with her powers, she hears Icewing telling the other cats training there to not let Tigerstar see that they are afraid, or else they will never see their home again. Mapleshade asks why they are not cheering for their leader, to which Icewing steadily responds that they are planning their strategy for the battle, though Mapleshade is not convinced.
===In the A Vision of Shadows arc===
====The Apprentice's Quest====
:Icewing returns to the nursery and has given birth to another litter of kits, Breezekit and Nightkit.
====Thunder and Shadow====
:Her kits are now apprentices, Breezepaw and Nightpaw, and Icewing has returned to her warrior duties.
====Shattered Sky====
:Icewing is one of the cats who battles Darktail's group of rogue cats. Due to being wounded, she is taken prisoner by Darktail, along with her mate Mintfur, Brackenpelt, and Reedwhisker. Darktail demands they swear an oath of loyalty to the Kin, and though they initially resist, they give in after days of starvation. However, Darktail continues to deprive them of food. When Violetpaw sneaks the RiverClan prisoners more food, she notices Icewing laying next to Mintfur, stretched out and still wounded greatly from their last battle. Violetpaw realizes upon seeing Icewing that Puddleshine, their medicine cat has not treated any of the wounded RiverClan cats because he has been forbidden from doing so.
:After Darktail takes Violetpaw and Needletail down to the lake, Icewing and the other prisoners seize the opportunity to attack their tormentors, along with the press-ganged kittypets and former ShadowClan cats siding with them. When ShadowClan and ThunderClan come to rescue the remaining RiverClan warriors, Icewing has a shallow scratch on her shoulder. She and the others are grateful to Rowanstar, Bramblestar, and the other Clan cats for driving out Darktail's cats and reclaiming RiverClan's territory for her Clan.
====Darkest Night====
:Icewing sits below the Highledge in ThunderClan camp with Reedwhisker, Mintfur, and Brackenpelt. The four warriors had been held captive and starved by Darktail and his rogues, and still look thin and hollow-eyed from their ordeal. Lakeheart and Mallownose flank their Clanmates.
:At the Gathering a few days later, Icewing challenges if Rowanstar should even be sitting on the Great Oak, and she bristles with anger. Some of her Clanmates also add their protests, asking if ShadowClan is even a true Clan anymore after they chose to align themselves with the rogues, a decision which caused so much suffering. Rowanstar explains that he hopes StarClan will forgive ShadowClan, but does not expect the other Clans to; Icewing yowls that they will never forgive.
====The Raging Storm====
:During a large storm, cats from all Clans volunteer to try and convince SkyClan to return, so that it might stop. Icewing goes with her Clanmates, Willowshine and Lizardtail, as they follow the trail back to the gorge. The patrol comes across an overflowing stream, and they debate how to cross it. Willowshine notes that even RiverClan cats likely would not be able to swim through, and Icewing agrees. The patrol finds a tree that spans the length of the stream, and crosses over that. Icewing and her Clanmates keep trekking for the rest of the day with those from the other Clans, then find shelter in a cave.
===In The Broken Code arc===
====Veil of Shadows====
:Icewing and Harelight join the rebels wishing to overthrow Bramblestar's impostor. During a devastating battle between the Clans, Icewing and Harelight fight against the impostor and RiverClan. At the following Gathering, despite the impostor being overthrown, Mistystar exiles Icewing and Harelight for betraying RiverClan. Tigerstar welcomes them into ShadowClan, and Icewing is hesitant to follow them after the Gathering.
====Darkness Within====
:When the Clans gather for a vigil to mourn the cats who died in the battle against the impostor, Icewing and Harelight attend along with the rest of ShadowClan. The only RiverClan cats to attend are Lizardtail, Gorseclaw, Willowshine, and Reedwhisker. Rootspring pads over to Harelight and Icewing and asks if Mistystar is there, but Harelight replies that he has not seen her. Icewing says that she guesses the leader did not want to honor the rebels, but growls that they do not care, as they are ShadowClan cats now. Mothwing tells her that they will always be RiverClan cats at heart, and asks her if she wants to come talk to her former Clanmates. Icewing sniffs that it is okay for Mothwing to do so, as Mistystar was going to let her go back to RiverClan. Rootspring points out that Mistystar let Softpelt's kin come to the vigil, but Icewing reminds him that Softpelt fought for the impostor, and asks if he thinks she would have let them come if only Dappletuft died.
====The Place of No Stars====
:Bristlefrost notes that Mothwing had refused to join RiverClan until Icewing and Harelight were let back into the Clan, holding on to the belief that they were risking their lives fighting for a good cause. Later, Icewing arrives in the ShadowClan medicine den to ask Shadowsight for help in removing a small bone from between her teeth. The medicine cat swiftly removes the bone, but Icewing lingers afterward, asking Shadowsight about the rumor that he volunteered to enter the Dark Forest. Shadowsight confirms it, and Icewing praises his bravery. However, she warns Shadowsight about the dangers of the Dark Forest, asking him if he knew that her son, Beetlewhisker, was killed there. Shadowsight is shocked, and attempts to give his sympathies, but Icewing cuts him off, saying that she just wants him to understand the risk he is taking. She reveals that those who are killed in the Dark Forest die for real, and asks Shadowsight if he understands what his death would do to his loved ones. Before leaving, Icewing affirms that she believes in Shadowsight, but urges him not to make his parents suffer as she has.
====A Light in the Mist====
:At the Moonpool meeting, Mothwing mentions to the other medicine cats that Mistystar had already let Harelight and Icewing back, and that she would be leaving ShadowClan to rejoin RiverClan after the meeting.
===In the A Starless Clan arc===
====River====
:Icewing is now mentoring her first apprentice, Mistpaw. After Mistystar's death, Icewing asks if someone should fetch Reedwhisker and his patrol, but Mothwing insists they will be back soon. Following Curlfeather's death, Mistpaw huddles near her mentor.
====Sky====
:Following Curlfeather's death, Icewing and the other experienced warriors are reluctant to take leadership. Icewing supports Frostpaw's choice of Owlnose as leader. When Tigerstar and his warriors arrive in RiverClan to temporarily lead, Icewing and Harelight support Tigerstar since he allowed them to join ShadowClan when Mistystar exiled them. During the battle, Icewing and Mistpaw fight Tawnypelt and Sunbeam. She and Harelight later flee into the river.
====Shadow====
:After the battle, Icewing stands up for Owlnose's decision to step down from leadership and goes along with Tigerstar's idea for a continued ShadowClan presence in RiverClan. Because of this, Tigerstar chooses her to co-lead with Cloverfoot while he returns to ShadowClan's camp. After Tigerstar and his warriors leave, Icewing asks to speak with Frostpaw in private. At the emergency Gathering, Icewing speaks up how Tigerstar's rule has brought order to RiverClan after days of turmoil within the Clan, though not all of her Clanmates agree, and the other Clans agree to re-discuss ShadowClan's occupation at the next Gathering. 
:After days of avoiding Icewing, Frostpaw finally decides to speak with her. The white she-cat is repairing the elders' den for Mosspelt, commenting how she will move in one day. In private, Icewing commends Frostpaw's dedication since the death of her mother Curlfeather, though Frostpaw finally admits that she has never had a connection with StarClan. Dismayed, Icewing confronts Mothwing about this secret. She tells Tigerstar and the rest of the Clan the next morning, though she chides her Clanmates when they question Frostpaw. When Tigerstar declares them all ShadowClan cats, Icewing is dismayed. Later, Icewing quiets her Clanmates when they bicker during Frostpaw's apprentice ceremony. When Sunbeam and Lightleap hunt on RiverClan territory, Icewing proposes a compromise that they must also hunt for RiverClan as well.
:Icewing continues to work with Cloverfoot over the shared leadership duties, though they struggle to keep the peace amongst the senior warriors. After a training session with all three apprentices, Icewing compliments Frostpaw's progress. When Graypaw, Mistpaw, and Splashtail question Frostpaw's decision to change careers again, the gray she-cat feels embarrassed that they brought it up with Icewing listening in. At the next Gathering, Icewing sits with Cloverfoot with the other deputies. Tigerstar invites her to speak for RiverClan, and she explains how RiverClan is eager to find a new leader and Tigerstar has been assisting with affairs as needed. However, Mallownose, Duskfur, and Splashtail speak out against her report. Leafstar questions why Cloverfoot is involved if Icewing is capable of handling herself, though the Gathering ends when WindClan and ThunderClan refuse to attack. When Scorchfur accidentally ingests a mouse with a thorn it in, Cloverfoot confers with Icewing about the possibility of several RiverClan cats plotting against them. Icewing is aware something is going on, but has limited power on what she can do.
====Thunder====
:At the island meeting where Tree attempts to mediate between RiverClan and ShadowClan, Squirrelstar recalls how Icewing attended the meeting, though Splashtail and Mallownose did most of the talking for RiverClan. Her Clanmate Duskfur is chosen by RiverClan and the other Clan leaders to be RiverClan's temporary leader.
====Wind====
:When Frostpaw announces that she had to leave RiverClan because she was unsure who to trust, Icewing lets out a hiss. After another Gathering where Frostpaw accuses Splashtail of lying about receiving his nine lives, Icewing and Duskfur speak with Frostpaw in private. The two she-cats reveal they are gathering supporters to stand against Splashtail. At some point, Icewing, Duskfur, and Mothwing leave RiverClan, and Splashtail rallies his warriors to find the traitors.
====Star====
:Icewing, Mothwing, and Duskfur escape to the greenleaf Twolegplace after Splashtail had caught them speaking with Harelight to revolt against Splashtail's rule. While on their way to ShadowClan, they were chased by dogs owned by the Twolegs, and Nightheart helps to distract the dogs so they can escape. While Tigerstar is away at a meeting, Cloverfoot allows Icewing, Duskfur, and Mothwing to see refuge. When Frostpaw begins to argue with Duskfur, Icewing chides her for being harsh, though Frostpaw accuses them of not believing in her earlier. Frostpaw storms off, and Icewing wishes Frostpaw would blame her instead of herself. The following morning, Tigerstar returns with Puddleshine and Shadowsight with news of Whistlepaw's dream prompting a mission between all five Clans. Icewing is curious about the journey, especially since Splashtail refused to send someone to represent RiverClan. Icewing volunteers, much to Frostpaw's horror. Icewing insists that Whistlepaw's dream is important, and she has faith that Frostpaw will make everything right in her absence. 
:Icewing returns nearly a moon later. Splashtail is dead, Frostpaw is comatose, and RiverClan is on the brink of collapse. As Tree attempts to guide Frostpaw's spirit back to the living world, he encourages all the she-cats to begin singing. Icewing's loud cries lead Frostpaw back to her body, and the apprentice finally wakes up after nearly a moon asleep. A quarter-moon later, Frostdawn guides Icewing to the Moonpool so she can receive her nine lives, now confident that she made the right choice. Icewing wants to make RiverClan the way it was, as true honorable warriors, and she knows she and Frostdawn will accomplish that together. In StarClan, Riverstar welcomes them both, praising Frostpaw for making the right decision. Jayclaw grants Icewing her first life for intuition. Reedwhisker gives her the gift of sensing danger to protect herself and her Clan. Harelight grants her the gift of forgiveness, noting how their Clanmates felt they had no choice but to follow Splashtail. Leopardstar gives her a life for humility. The former medicine cat Mudfur arrives, commenting how he decided to train as a medicine cat after becoming a warrior. He urges Icewing to think about the strengths and weaknesses of her cats, giving her a life for wisdom. Willowshine appears, granting her a gift to resist evil influences. Riverstar steps forward to present a life for tranquility. Crookedstar bestows to Icewing the gift of resilience. Finally, Mistystar arrives and grants Icewing her final life: the gift of courage. Mistystar then welcomes Icewing as RiverClan's new leader, hailing her as Icestar.
:Back in RiverClan's camp, RiverClan warmly welcomes their new leader. Her first task is to appoint her deputy, and Icestar chooses Owlnose due to his humility and self-awareness of refusing leadership. Icestar also renames Graypaw and Mistpaw to Graysky and Mistpool. The new RiverClan leader then praises Frostdawn for her courage, loyalty, and determination in saving the Clan. Two moons later, Nightheart remarks how Icestar has become a confident leader, with Owlnose complimenting his leader's distance with his own warmth and humility.

====The Elders' Quest====
:
===In the Super Editions===
====Ivypool's Heart====
:Icewing catches up to Ivypool, Rootspring, Dovewing, and Whistlepaw when they set out on their quest prompted by an unknown dream. Having sought refuge in ShadowClan to escape Splashtail, Icewing heard about the mission from Tigerstar and Frostpaw, prompting her to follow the others to join them. Now with a cat from each Clan, the patrol sets out towards the fox-head mountain. Three sunrises later, Icewing overhears Ivypool and Dovewing discussing the fate of Bristlefrost, whose spirit is gone forever after her death in the Dark Forest. Icewing comments how serving her Clanmates helps her to remind Icewing of Beetlewhisker's memory, and she empathizes with Ivypool's grief. While traveling with Beach and Slate to the Sisters, Icewing silently recognizes the Dark Forest fighting technique Ivypool uses against the dogs. After getting lost in the forest and nearly trampled by horses, the patrol wearily rests in an apple orchard. However, Icewing wakes them up in a panic when a monster arrives. 
:Later, Icewing leads the patrol to shelter near a lake and fishes for the group. While hunting the following morning, Icewing, Ivypool, and Whistlepaw notice a group of Twolegs on the other side of the lake and Whistlepaw is captured by a Twoleg kit. Working together to steal a Twoleg's food, the patrol manages to rescue Whistlepaw and continue on their journey. They eventually arrive at the sun-drown-place by following a gull. After a flock of gulls chase them from stealing its prey, the patrol is flabbergasted by crabs and flee into a crevice amongst the rocks. After escaping from the rising tide, the Clan cats continue away from the sun-drown-place and discover a strange Twoleg nest with odd creatures, including two wildcats named Stalk Purr and Tumble Leap. Icewing is skeptical that their mission involves rescuing the wildcats from the cruel Twoleg and is eager to return home to RiverClan. However, the others agree to help Tumble Leap and Stalk Purr escape after finding out more information about StormClan. Near the fox-head mountain, the patrol finds the Star Tree, the special place the wildcats used to communicate with their ancestors. They are attacked by weasels, prompting Icewing to take charge to organize the patrol to dive the weasels away. Inside the hollow tree, Icewing suggests they should think of something related to their Clans to help them communicate with the ancestors.
:They wake up in flourished forest with cats of varying sizes, and two wildcat spirits welcome them. In a crowded open clearing, Galestar introduces herself as a former leader of StormClan. She explains the tragic past of her Clan and that she was the one who sent Whistlepaw the dream. Galestar instructs them to guide Tumble Leap, Stalk Purr, and their kits to another group of wildcats beyond the mountains to repay the debt the Clans have when the wildcats saved Galestar and her kits long ago. Icewing is eager to return quickly to Stalk Purr and Tumble Leap before their kits are born. During the Clan cats' plan to free the wildcats, Icewing chews through the rope attached to a cage of a striped horse. The cats surprise the Twoleg and his dog just as the Twoleg opens the wildcats' cage, and the resulting chaos causes the other animals to escape from their loosened cages. 
:Icewing leads the way back to the sun-drown-place towards the path Galestar had mentioned. At the sun-drown-place, Icewing praises Stalk Purr's technique to catch a gull, commenting how it reminds her how the Tribe of Rushing Water hunts eagles in the mountains. As they continue their journey through the mountains, Icewing is eager to return home to RiverClan. When Stalk Purr begins to kit, Icewing fetches water-soaked moss for the queen. Ivypool asks how Icewing feels about Stalk Purr's kitting and if it reminds her of Beetlewhisker, but Icewing merely echoes that she lives her life to honor her son's memory. Ivypool admires Icewing's wisdom. That night, the five Clan cats share a vision of Icewing in RiverClan's desolate camp with Frostpaw providing an ominous warning before dying. Icewing worries about the implications of the dream and RiverClan's feature. As a result, Icewing politely but bluntly tells the wildcats that they cannot wait until the kits are weaned before resuming their journey. Tumble Leap agrees, suggesting that two cats go ahead to find the wildcat group, and Ivypool and Icewing volunteer. Icewing rushes Ivypool to hurry, with her emphasizing to Ivypool how she wants to restore RiverClan to the way it was under Mistystar's leadership. Ivypool acknowledges that there's not much she can do now but offer to listen, and Icewing appreciates her friend's companionship. 
:Ivypool grows to admire Icewing during their solo journey, believing that RiverClan is lucky to have the older warrior. After a restless sleep, Icewing fishes for the two of them and offers to meditate with Ivypool to ease her bad dreams. The two bond over a bat that Ivypool abruptly catches. Shortly after, the pair are angrily confronted by a wildcat named Strike Slash, who takes some time to warm up to their story. He leads them to their camp and to their three elders, Prowl Sleek, Hunt Leap, and Spring Claw. While the elders defer on their story, Icewing is content to calmly wait for their decision. While they wait, a wildcat kit named Hop Scratch eagerly bounds towards them. Icewing initially dismisses the kit until she mentions that her littermate died, prompting Icewing to change her mind and tell the story of their adventure to so far to Hop Scratch. Icewing is furious when the elders have decided to not believe their story and refuse to help the other Clans who wronged Galestar. That night, foxes attack the wildcat camp, and Ivypool and Icewing help to fight them off. Icewing gets a scratch on her forehead but is otherwise unharmed. Spring Claw treats her wound, and Prowl Sleek apologizes for doubting the two Clan she-cats. After the elders communicate with their ancestors, they guide Ivypool and Icewing to a special hollow log so they can enter the realm of the ancestors. There, Galestar warmly greets them again, and they convince her to travel back to StarClan to bring the StormClan ancestors back. 
:Icewing is hesitant to travel down a floating log on the River of Spirits to reach StarClan's hunting grounds, but she reminds herself of Riverstar's bravery that resulted in the founding of the Clans. They drift by the Tribe of Endless Hunting and the Dark Forest, with Icewing forcefully reminding Ivypool that Bristlefrost is gone. Upon StarClan's shore, Icewing reminds Ivypool that they do not deserve to be in StarClan's hunting grounds, but they should honor this gift. Icewing warmly greets Mistystar and is in awe to meet Riverstar. As Galestar tells her story to the StarClan spirits, the apparitions of the faded StormClan cats reappear, and StarClan is once again reunited. Stripestar ominously hopes that their combined wisdom will save all the Clans, prompting more worry for Icewing about the safety of her Clan during her absence. After returning to the living world, Icewing is eager to resume their journey, and Prowl Sleek, Strike Slash, Wish Stalk, and Claw Stretch join Icewing and Ivypool back to the rest of their group. The wildcats leave the following morning, and Icewing presses her friends to hurry.
===In the Novellas===
====Mothwing's Secret====
:Prior to the battle against the Dark Forest, Mothwing sees Icewing and Minnowtail reinforcing dens with brambles. Moons later, Icewing, Petalfur, and Mallownose go on patrol together and come across a dog. While she and Mallownose fight it off, Petalfur is snatched by the dog and heavily injured. Icewing and her Clanmate tow Petalfur back to camp for medicinal treatment.
====Mistystar's Omen====
:After Mistyfoot announces the death of Leopardstar, she asks for a hunting patrol, and decides to take Icewing, but only if she feels like it. Icewing sniffs and states that of course she feels like it, saying that she was sick of being stuck in camp for three sunrises, so she would be more than ready. Mistyfoot purrs with amusement, saying that she deserves all the rest she can get after traveling to the beavers' dam. Mistyfoot adds that if she wants to go hunting, she can, as they will be grateful for her sharp eyes.
:Later, when Reedwhisker is briskly sorting out patrols, he wants to take his own patrol into the marshes and calls over Icewing and Pebblefoot after letting Mistystar tag along. When they are searching the ground, Icewing suddenly hisses as she sees a vole come out from some grass. She pounces milliseconds too late and the vole has a chance to scramble away from her while she trips on a muddy rut as well. Mistystar sees the vole coming towards her, and she traps the vole, killing it. Mistystar tells Icewing it was a group effort, and the white cat nods, out of breath.
:After Mothwing argues with Mistystar about Hollowpaw and Rushpaw's whereabouts, Icewing is chosen, with Grasspelt and Mintfur, to join Mistystar's patrol to go upstream. Icewing asks if she wants them to set border marks, but Mistystar tells the cats not to, since they are just looking for food. When they set out, it is mentioned that Mistystar has to messily claw her way through the land, while Icewing fares better, since she is lighter and is able to leap well. After Grasspelt hisses that there are kittypets, Icewing warns the patrol that there might be less prey thanks to them. Suddenly, Grasspelt hisses for them to follow him, and they do so to find a nest of mice. After Mistystar praises him, Grasspelt mews it can't replace a lake of fish; Icewing points out that it is a start.
====Dovewing's Silence====
:The Clan leaders organize a meeting to discuss what to do with the former Dark Forest trainees. Icewing arrives at this meeting with Mistystar and Mothwing. Mistystar defends her warrior, insisting that Icewing knows her loyalty was tested and she failed. She has learned from this, and there is no doubt now. Mistystar says that Icewing has always been a good warrior and she would like to give her a chance. The leaders agree that the former trainees will swear a new oath of loyalty to their own Clans, and they all head to their own camps to do so.
