Swoop of Chestnut Hawk

Swoop of Chestnut Hawk, more commonly known as Swoop, is a dark ginger she-cat.
==History==
===In the Power of Three arc===
====Outcast====
:Swoop of Chestnut Hawk is a kit-mother in the Tribe of Rushing Water, mentioned having two older kits. When the Tribe chooses to fight or flee from the intruders, Flight asks Swoop what they should do because her kits are too young to run. Swoop comforts her by saying that no one expects her to abandon her kits, and she adds that she won't leave her kits either. Talon comes over to them, and both look up at him with uncertainty in their eyes. He convinces them to fight, saying that the Tribe will protect them. He then escorts the two she-cats to the side of the cave where the cats that chose to fight gather. After this, more cats follow example of Swoop and Flight and divide into the groups.
===In the Omen of the Stars arc===
====Sign of the Moon====
:Swoop has returned to her duties as a cave-guard from being a kit-mother. When Screech brings up the topic of how the whole mountains should be the Tribe's territory, Swoop reprimands him, saying that things aren't how they used to be, remembering the rogues that the Clan cats tried to help drive off. Stormfur then mentions that these recent intruders have been stealing prey again, but Swoop shrugs it off, reasoning that there is nothing the Tribe can do about that, though Stormfur boldly objects.
:Dovewing spots some intruders who are having trouble fighting an eagle while on a patrol that consists of Swoop, Splash, Crag, Foxleap, and herself. Splash thinks that it serves them right and Swoop adds that they have to learn to defend themselves. Foxleap argues against this, talking about how the Clans unite to defend against a common enemy. While Swoop looks doubtful, Crag and Splash decide to help them. Crag tells Swoop to take the farthest wing with Splash, and he says to the Clan cats to stay out of the way.
:Swoop and Splash launch themselves onto the eagle's wing at the sound of Crag's call. Despite being told to stay out of the way, Foxleap joins the fight, and his claws get stuck in the eagle's wing. To save him, Swoop leaps up and grabs at the wing with one forepaw while trying to dislodge Foxleap with the other. Foxleap falls to the ground, but when Swoop drops to the ground, the eagle snatches her and flies away.
:Splash tries in vain to rescue Swoop, but the eagle is already out of reach, and Dovewing confirms her death by using her powers. Foxleap mournfully takes the blame, and Splash hisses at him, claiming that Swoop would've been alive if he had done as he was told and stayed out of their way. Crag is quick to say to her that blaming him will not help, saying what is done is done. When the patrol gets back to the cave, Squirrelflight questions them. Crag tries to explain gently what happened, but Splash cuts him off harshly, saying that Swoop is now dead. Dovewing mentions that she is too afraid to go to sleep, saying that she will keep on seeing Swoop's death haunting her in her dreams, the guilt driving her to stay awake.
====The Forgotten Warrior====
:A moon after returning to the lake, Dovewing is still having nightmares about Swoop and how she was taken away by the eagle. Dovewing eventually learns to cope with what happened, and slowly begins to move on from Swoop's death.
