Oakheart

Oakheart is a dark, reddish-brown tom with amber eyes.
Oakheart was a warrior and deputy of RiverClan under Hailstar's and Crookedstar's leaderships respectively in the forest territories. He was born as Oakkit to Rainflower and Shellheart, along with his brother, Stormkit. He and his brother were very close, but when Stormkit broke his jaw, Oakkit was suddenly favored by their mother. Oakkit became an apprentice known as Oakpaw with his father as his mentor, and later earned his warrior name, Oakheart. Oakheart grew very close to a ThunderClan warrior, Bluefur, and they met at Fourtrees one night. Bluefur ended up pregnant with his kits, and when she decided to give them to RiverClan, he supported her lovingly and took Mistykit and Stonekit to Graypool to foster, and mourned the loss of his third kit, Mosskit.
During a battle between RiverClan and ThunderClan over Sunningrocks, he was crushed by a rockfall, but ended up in a conspiracy that Tigerclaw made up, where Oakheart killed Redtail and Tigerclaw killed Oakheart to get revenge. Oakheart went to StarClan, and when Bluestar died, he guided her to StarClan where they became mates again. He later granted Leopardstar and Mistystar one of their nine lives.
==History==
===The Prophecies Begin===
:Oakheart is the deputy of RiverClan. He leads his Clan into battle against ThunderClan over Sunningrocks. When Redtail attacks Oakheart's son, Stonefur, Oakheart snarls that no ThunderClan cat would harm him. While fighting with Redtail, Oakheart is killed in a rockfall. Redtail realizes that ThunderClan is outnumbered and calls a retreat. Tigerclaw forces Ravenpaw to lie about what occurred, and he says that Oakheart killed Redtail and Tigerclaw killed Oakheart in revenge. Later, Fireheart asks Ravenpaw to retell the story, and he amends that Oakheart was killed by a rockfall but Redtail was not. 
:In a flashback, Oakheart brings two unknown kits to RiverClan on a snowy night. He brings them to the nursery for Graypool to nurse. Oakheart insists he found them in the forest abandoned, and Graypool agrees to take care of them but detects a familiar scent. In the present, Graypool confirms to Fireheart the she scented ThunderClan on the kits, but didn't tell any cat. Fireheart speaks to Mistyfoot who tells him how her father was a brave warrior, and their medicine cat confirmed that he was killed in a rockfall, solidifying Ravenpaw's story. Bluestar also reveals that Mistyfoot and Stonefur are her and Oakheart's kits but she gave them up to become deputy instead of Thistleclaw.
===The New Prophecy===
:In StarClan, Oakheart chooses Feathertail as the representative of RiverClan to go on a journey to the sun-drown-place. He teases Bluestar if he approves because she was mentored by their daughter, Mistyfoot. He speaks with Bluestar once again when the Clans arrive at the lake and insists the Clans are strong enough to face whatever challenges ahead.
===Super Editions===
:In Crookedstar's Promise, he is born in a storm to Shellheart, the Clan deputy, and Rainflower alongside his brother, Stormkit. When he and Stormkit sneak out of camp to Sunningrocks, they disturb Goosefeather who is out collecting herbs. Goosefeather chases them back to the stepping stones, and along the way, Stormkit slips and falls, breaking his jaw. Oakkit stays very close to his brother during his recovery, but when Hailstar renames Stormkit to Crookedkit, Oakkit gets named an apprentice Oakpaw, and receives his father, Shellheart, as a mentor.
:When Crookedkit returns from living away from RiverClan with loners, Oakpaw receives his warrior name, Oakheart, for defeating dogs on a patrol. He tells Crookedpaw that he'll get his name next, and Rainflower pulls Oakheart aside, cruelly telling him that Crookedpaw will never be as good as him due to his injury. When Crookedjaw receives his warrior name, Oakheart congratulates him, and says that it's Rainflower's loss if she can't be proud of Crookedjaw. He also gains an apprentice, Loudpaw. Crookedstar offers the position of deputy to him, but Oakheart turns it down.
:He becomes close with the ThunderClan warrior Bluefur, and she later becomes pregnant with his kits. Bluefur gives her kits to Oakheart to raise in RiverClan. Oakheart gives the kits to Graypool to nurse, and Crookedstar confronts Oakheart about the truth about the kits. Oakheart doesn't hide his identity from them. After Willowkit and Minnowkit die, Oakheart accuses Crookedstar of behaving distant like Rainflower to Silverkit. After his brother's death, Oakheart greets Crookedstar in StarClan.
:In Bluestar's Prophecy, Bluefur finds Oakheart resting on Sunningrocks and he flirts with her. She agrees to meet in secret with him at Fourtrees resulting in Bluefur becoming pregnant with his kits. Oakheart insists he could join ThunderClan, but Bluefur wants to raise their kits as pure ThunderClan cats. She gives birth to Stonekit, Mistykit, and Mosskit. When Tawnyspots falls ill and Thistleclaw poised as the next deputy, Bluefur gives up her kits to Oakheart but Mosskit dies in the cold. The two mates never speak again at Gatherings out of fear of some cat piecing it together.

===Shellheart and Rainflower===
:Both of Oakheart's parents love him, but after Stormkit, later Crookedkit broke his jaw, Rainflower shows blatant favoritism toward Oakheart. She calls him handsome, directs all her attention to him, and requests that his own father, Shellheart, be made his mentor. Rainflower even went as far to demean his brother by claiming that Oakheart will always be the former's better, much to the chagrin of Shellheart, Crookedpaw and Oakheart himself.

===Mistystar, Stonefur, and Mosskit===
:When Oakheart learns that Bluefur is expecting kits, he is ecstatic and willing to become a ThunderClan warrior to be with them. However, Bluefur knows that he wants to become deputy and then leader of RiverClan someday, and that she couldn't go to RiverClan with him because her Clan needed her. Bluefur instead takes the kits to ThunderClan, and everyone assumes that their father is Thrushpelt, a ThunderClan warrior who has shown interest in Bluefur before and is a good cat, but Bluefur has never felt for him as she does for Oakheart. Bluestar then realizes that she has to become deputy of ThunderClan instead of Thistleclaw, so she brings her kits to Oakheart in secret and tells him to raise them in RiverClan, and pretends that the kits she supposedly had with Thrushpelt were stolen by a badger. However, during the journey, one of the kits, Mosskit, dies in the snow. Oakheart gives the remaining two kits to a RiverClan queen named Graypool to raise, and says that he found them in the cold and that they were abandoned by a rogue she-cat. Oakheart is proud of his kits, and watches over them in RiverClan.

==Trivia==
:Did you know Oakheart's mother was originally a she-cat named Lilystem? However, this could have been changed to prevent an inconsistency in a scene in Crookedstar's Promise where Lilystem appears in the camp after Oakheart's mother is supposed to have died.
