**Whitetail** is a small pure white she-cat.

**Whitetail** was a WindClan elder who previously served as a warrior under Tallstar's and Onestar's leaderships in the forest and lake territories. She was born to Sorrelshine with an unknown number of littermates. As an apprentice, **Whitepaw** was mentored by Onewhisker, and after earning her warrior name, **Whitetail** gained a reputation for being clever, patient, and understanding. She and Onewhisker maintained a close friendship for many moons and relied on each other when Twolegs began poisoning rabbits that killed many of their Clanmates. The two eventually became mates. Unbeknownst to Whitetail, Onewhisker had been seeing the kittypet Smoke, but Onewhisker broke ties with her after realizing his feelings for Whitetail. He kept Smoke and their son Darkkit a secret from Whitetail out of fear of losing her. Whitetail supported Onewhisker when he was abruptly chosen to succeed Tallstar as leader, and the pair eventually had two daughters, Heatherkit and Galekit, though Galekit was stillborn. Whitetail later mentored Breezepelt and was chosen to go on the journey to the beaver dam. After the Great Battle, Whitetail retired to the elders' den. Following the reveal of Darktail's parentage, Whitetail forgave Onestar for keeping it a secret. Later, Whitetail died of unspecified causes and went to StarClan.

"*Calm down. Can't you scent the kits? He's only defending his nursery.*"
―Whitetail to the others when Smoky confronts them Starlight

While on a patrol with Tornear, and his apprentice, Owlpaw, they find three ThunderClan cats eating fresh-kill in what would soon become WindClan territory. While Tornear and Thornclaw argue over the border, Whitetail cuts them off by asking Leafpaw if she had the herbs she had used to cure bellyaches. Whitetail informs her that two of their elders, Morningflower and Darkfoot were sick. The WindClan patrol allows Leafpaw to come to WindClan to treat their elders.
Whitetail brings Leafpaw to the sick elders. Crowfeather, angry that Leafpaw is there, tries to push her away, but Whitetail tells him to leave her alone. She continues to watch until Onewhisker tells Crowfeather to stay with Leafpaw because he wanted Whitetail for a hunting patrol. On the way to a Gathering, Cloudtail and Mudclaw get into an argument with a loner named Smoky that steadily escalates. Before a fight can break out, Whitetail stops Mudclaw, asking if he did not smell the presence of kits, and explaining that Smoky was only defending his nursery.
#### *Twilight*

A WindClan patrol consisting of Crowfeather, Webfoot, Weaselpaw, and Whitetail meet a ThunderClan patrol at the border. They listen as Brambleclaw tells them that Firestar sent them to find out if Onewhisker had traveled to the Moonpool yet. Whitetail corrects him, saying he was called Onestar now. When ThunderClan is attacked by badgers, Onestar brings WindClan warriors to help fight them off, with Whitetail among them. As the battle finishes up, Whitetail sees that their missing Clanmate, Crowfeather, had returned.
### In the *Power of Three* arc

#### *The Sight*

**Whitetail**: "*Be gentle, Crowfeather. He's had a bad shock.* (to Jaypaw) *You're safe now, little one. I'm Whitetail. This is Crowfeather, and these are our apprentices, Heatherpaw and Breezepaw. We won't hurt you.*"

**Breezepaw**: "*I think he might have guessed that by the way we just saved his life!*"

**Whitetail**: "*I wish you’d teach your son some manners, Crowfeather!* (to Jaypaw) *What were you doing out here alone? Did you know you were heading for WindClan territory? Are you in trouble?*"

—Whitetail to Jaypaw after she, Crowfeather, Heatherpaw and Breezepaw rescue him from the stream The Sight
Whitetail is now mentoring Breezepaw. She and Onestar are now parents to Heatherpaw. Whitetail, Breezepaw, Crowfeather, and his apprentice, Heatherpaw, are on the patrol that finds Jaypaw wandering around in WindClan territory. Crowfeather rescues the ThunderClan apprentice when he falls into the lake and almost drowns. Whitetail is gentle to Jaypaw, trying to help him as he recovers from shock. Heatherpaw anxiously asks Whitetail if Jaypaw would be okay, in which she responds that the young apprentice would be fine. Whitetail asks Jaypaw if he could hear her.
When Crowfeather rounds on Jaypaw harshly for being away from his camp, Whitetail pleads to him to be gentle, as Jaypaw had just recovered from shock. She licks Jaypaw's ear, reassuring him that he was safe. As Jaypaw relaxes against her fur, Whitetail introduces herself, Breezepaw, Heatherpaw and Crowfeather, and adds that they wouldn't hurt him. When Breezepaw sarcastically says that Jaypaw should have figured that he was safe as the WindClan cats saved his life, Whitetail sharply tells Crowfeather that she wishes that he'd teach his son some manners. Turning back to Jaypaw, Whitetail asks Jaypaw several questions, but receives no information except that he would be in trouble when he went home. As Jaypaw begins to leave, Crowfeather instructs Whitetail to take Heatherpaw and Breezepaw back to camp while he guided Jaypaw home. She calls to Jaypaw, telling him to see his medicine cat as soon as he returns home.
After dogs attack WindClan, Whitetail is mentioned when Crowfeather asks Breezepaw if he had checked the barrier all around. Breezepaw tells his father that Whitetail had ordered him to do so. After Nightcloud tells Crowfeather to have more faith in his son, Breezepaw chimes in, stating that Whitetail was his mentor, not him.
#### *Dark River*

"*We have woodland in our territory. It makes sense to use it. And we don’t want to be dependent on one sort of prey anymore. The elders still speak of the hunger WindClan suffered when Twolegs started poisoning the rabbits before the Great Journey.*"
―Whitetail explaining why WindClan hunted wood-land prey Dark River

At the Gathering, Whitetail rushes over to Millie, Breezepaw keeping up with her, and greets her like they were old friends. She thanks Millie for sharing the rabbit at the daylight Gathering. Breezepaw is a little disgusted by how his mentor is so friendly with a warrior who had been a kittypet first. On a hunting patrol, Whitetail and Tornear watch as their apprentices, Breezepaw and Harepaw chase down a squirrel. They don't appear to notice how close they are to the ThunderClan border until a ThunderClan patrol stops them. This angers Tornear, who starts to argue with them. Whitetail smooths things over by commenting on how WindClan has a stretch of woodland in their territory and it would make sense to use it. When Dustpelt says squirrels were ThunderClan prey, Tornear gets angry again. Whitetail tells him to just walk away, and after hesitating, he nods and the hunting patrol leaves.
At a border skirmish with ThunderClan, Whitetail fights for WindClan, battling against Brightheart and Poppypaw. Poppypaw is seen holding onto her back while Brightheart slashed at her ears. She leaves with WindClan when Ashfoot calls for a retreat. When Leafpool and Jaypaw come to WindClan asking for Onestar, Onestar appears on a returning patrol with Whitetail and Weaselfur following behind him.
#### *Outcast*

Whitetail is on the patrol that escorts Squirrelflight and Hollypaw to WindClan's camp. When Squirrelflight asks how Breezepaw's training is going, Whitetail answers her by telling them that Breezepaw had led a patrol of apprentices to see if the dogs had come back without a single warrior for backup. Hollypaw remembers the story of Swiftpaw and Brightheart, who had done the same thing. Tornear goes on and explains how Breezepaw then caused a skirmish with RiverClan for which Onestar had to apologize to Mistyfoot. As they reach camp, Whitetail takes Squirrelflight and Hollypaw over to Onestar's den to see if he was there. Squirrelflight explains to Onestar how the Tribe of Rushing Water needed their help and asked Crowfeather to come with them to the mountains. Onestar decides that Crowfeather will go and bring Breezepaw with him, appointing Whitetail as Heatherpaw's temporary mentor.
#### *Long Shadows*

Her apprentice becomes a warrior, Breezepelt.
#### *Sunrise*

She, Tornear, Crowfeather, and Heathertail come across a ThunderClan patrol waiting at the border. Whitetail unsheathes her claws at the sight of them, suspicious. When Firestar requests to be taken to WindClan's camp to speak with Onestar, Tornear leads them there, while Crowfeather and Whitetail flank the patrol on either side. Once Firestar reveals that Ashfur had been killed at the border, her Clanmates are outraged that ThunderClan thought they had anything to do with his death. Whitetail says that none of them had any quarrel with Ashfur, and had no reason to kill him.
### In the *Omen of the Stars* arc

#### *The Fourth Apprentice*

«*She spoke with conviction, her air of authority reminding Lionblaze that she was the most senior warrior, even though she was so small.*»
—Lionblaze's thoughts about Whitetail The Fourth Apprentice

Whitetail is chosen alongside her Clanmate, Sedgewhisker, to represent WindClan to investigate why the lake is drying up. Shortly after patrol are chased by Twolegs and Whitetail defends Dovepaw from Toadfoot who blames her for them almost getting caught. She voices her own concerns and that they aren't helping the Clans by arguing instead of finding the cause of the shrinking lake. Rippletail takes offence to her comment, asking if she's blaming RiverClan for the water shortage. The WindClan warrior explains she wasnt blaming them, which sparks the group into a short argument. Petalfur states that they should continue on, voicing she is tired of watching her Clanmates starve and that finding the reason is giving her the courage to continue. Whitetail says she’s well spoken as the cats settle down.
Later, Lionblaze organizes the ThunderClan and ShadowClan cats to hunt to avoid breaking border rules. Whitetail points out that she and Sedgewhisker are more than capable of hunting for themselves. However, she sees the logic after Lionblaze allows the pair of she-cats to hunt for the patrol later on. The warrior offers her praise to Dovepaw's catch and eats her fill. After the cats eat their fill, the white she-cat suggests they take turns leading. Lionblaze agrees, and allows her to take the first watch. Under her lead, the cats find water but as they do, Lionblaze alerts the patrol to dogs. Whitetail, Sedgewhisker and the RiverClan cats don't move as they reveal they can't climb trees. Dovepaw helps her into a tree and after the danger passes, Lionblaze reassures the senior warrior that had they needed to run away, she and Sedgewhisker would have outpaced them all. At Whitetail’s suggestion, the cats rest where they are that night.
Whitetail and Sedgewhisker catch a rabbit as the patrol return from their respective hunts. She encourages the RiverClan cats to enjoy shared prey despite their protests of them not catching anything. However, after Rippletail and Petalfur manage to catch some fish to share. Whitetail tries some of the prey but states she would prefer to stick to her rabbit. Afterwards, the patrol continue on their way and Petalfur notices some strange animals. Whitetail tells her they're sheep and that they are seen all the time by WindClan cats. The she-cat leads them along the field but a dog sees them. Whitetail calls for them to head towards the sheep as the Twoleg won’t let their dog near the other animals.
The patrol find themselves near a Twolegplace. Whitetail and Sedgewhisker scent rabbits and find them near a Twoleg nest. Three kittypets appear and guard the rabbits, claiming they belong to the Twolegs. Whitetail argues with them for a bit, but Lionblaze gets the patrol to hunt elsewhere instead. By sunrise, the patrol soon find the brown animals causing the water shortage. Whitetail points out that they would need to be away from the water when the logs are moved. She agrees with Lionblaze’s suggestion to scout the area as the strange animals know the territory better than the Clan cats. Whitetail leads the patrol to investigate the animals, as she notes their large teeth. Thanks to Dovepaw, she alerts the patrol of Twolegs ahead of them. She watches in disgust and annoyance when Sedgewhisker and Petalfur get too close to the Twolegs and get touched by them. When the two warriors rejoin the patrol, she goes to reprimand them but a stranger informs them that the Twolegs are more interested in the beavers. Whitetail repeats the name of the animals as the loner introduces himself as Woody.
The patrol plan their attempt to dismantle the beaver’s dam. Whitetail, Sedgewhisker, Lionblaze, and Dovepaw, cross the stream while the others remain on the other side. The white warrior and Sedgewhisker head towards the top of the dam, but as they do the beavers attack. She falls from the logs, but catches herself before any serious injury. The warrior tears a claw in doing so as the Clan cats are overpowered by the brown animals. As they retreat, Whitetail limps as she joins the others to help Rippletail and his injury. When Woody scolds them for fighting foolishly, she steps between the loner and Tigerheart to stop the from fighting. Just after doing that, Rippletail succumbs to his wounds and passes away. Whitetail and Sedgewhisker move to comfort the tom’s Clanmate, Petalfur.
After they bury Rippletail, the patrol decides they have to destory the dam. Whitetail states they should act quickly, noting the weather is turning and that they still had to return to their Clans to reiterate what had transpired. She offers Woody her sympathy when he blames himself for Rippletail’s death. When they begin to plan how to destory the dam, Whitetail protests they can’t return to the Clans for additional help as it is too far and that water was their priority. Lionblaze suggests the kittypets they had met earlier and the white she-cat doesn’t dismiss the idea. They find the kittypets and begin planning. Lionblaze organizes Whitetail and Sedgewhisker to be the ones to distract the beavers due to their speed. Woody goes with the two she-cats to give them directions. With that, Whitetail and her two companions begin the plan and draw the beavers away from their dam.
However, the distraction doesn’t last long as the beavers return with the warriors in tow. The dam breaks, washing the patrol away as Whitetail and Sedgewhisker cling to a branch for safety. As the commotion settles, Whitetail gives her thanks to StarClan for helping them in their task and keeping them safe from the flood. The following day, the patrol make their return to the lake to bring news of their success. The patrol arrive back in ShadowClan territory and slowly part their ways. Whitetail and Sedgewhisker accompany Lionblaze and Dovepaw on the way back to ThunderClan before splitting ways at the border.
#### *Fading Echoes*

"*The quest is over. You must respect boundaries. Your loyalty should be with your own Clan.*"
―Whitetail to Dovepaw and Ivypaw Fading Echoes

When Dovepaw and Ivypaw go to the WindClan camp to see Sedgewhisker, Whitetail appears after Sedgewhisker and Weaselfur show them to the Clan. She tells Dovepaw that the quest is over and she must respect borders, and is more polite to Ivypaw and Dovepaw than Sedgewhisker was.

### In the *A Vision of Shadows* arc

#### *Shattered Sky*

"*I never knew that! Our Clan leader going off to make friends with kittypets!*"
―Whitetail outraged when Onestar reveals the truth about Darktail Shattered Sky

Whitetail is outraged when Onestar, her mate, confesses to sneaking out of WindClan territory to meet with kittypets, telling them stories, and eventually befriending them. She says that she never knew that Onestar would do such a thing, and is filled with anger at her Clan leader for doing so. Her anger is met by a more understanding comment from Gorsetail, who mews that Onestar wasn't a leader when he did any of this.
#### *River of Fire*

"*I thought things would get better with the rogues gone. But now I wonder.*"
―Whitetail at a Gathering with only ThunderClan, SkyClan, and WindClan attending River of Fire

At the Gathering, Bramblestar, Leafstar, and Harestar leap into the branches of the Great Oak. Cats begin to comment about there being only three left, and Whitetail mews that she thought the rogues leaving would make things better, but doesn't know anymore.
### In the *Super Editions*

#### *Crowfeather's Trial*

**Larkwing**: "*But just suppose our Clanmates did return as ghosts. What would we say to them, do you think?*"

**Whitetail**: "*I'd say we were sorry. Sorry that they never got to live out their lives as members of their Clan.*"

**Leaftail**: "*I'd tell them we loved them.*"

**Onestar**: "*That's enough. We must not look back, or we could drown in our grief. Perhaps that is what Kestrelflight's vision is about.*"
**Whitetail**: "*But how do we avoid grief? Our loss is all around us.*"
**Onestar**: "*We look forward. First we figure out what is really in the tunnels.*"

—WindClan discussing ghosts Crowfeather's Trial
Following the Great Battle, Whitetail has retired to the elders' den. Whitetail and Whiskernose emerge from the elders' den to hear what Onestar has to say after he calls a meeting. After hearing about the strange glowing white cat Hootpaw saw in the tunnel entrance, some cats suggest it was a ghost of one of the Clanmates they lost in the Great Battle. Larkwing wonders if was their Clanmates, what would they say to them. Whitetail responds that she would tell them they are sorry they never got to live out their lives as members of the Clan. As murmurs of regret continue, Onestar tells them must not look back or they could drown in their grief. Whitetail asks how they are supposed to avoid grief when their loss is all around them. Later, Featherpaw is injured in the attack on the stoats and left unconscious. Cats cluster around the medicine den with excited chatter, and Crowfeather wonders what is going on, and Whitetail turns to him with gleaming eyes, and purrs that Featherpaw is awake.
#### *Squirrelflight's Hope*

When Plumstone and Eaglewing wonder why WindClan hasn't marked the border, Squirrelflight says they're probably having Whitetail's vigil, as the elder recently died.

## Trivia

### Interesting facts

* Whitetail's name is a combination of the most common prefix and suffix for a warrior name.

### Mistakes

* She has been mistakenly called Whitewing.
* She has been mistakenly described as a ShadowClan warrior.

### Continuity

*The following information is from sources considered non-canon or retconned.*

* In Su Susann's "Missing Kits" on Vicky's Facebook, Whitetail and Webfoot were the kits of Crowfur and Larksplash, and her younger siblings were Nightcloud and Gorsetail. She was described with green eyes. Onestar and Whitetail had two litters while living in the forest territories. They had their first litter, Willowclaw and Emberfoot, not long after Whitetail became a warrior, and their second litter was Rustlepaw, a golden tabby tom with a white belly and chest and green eyes, and Drizzlepaw, speckled brown-and-white she-cat with amber eyes. Both apprentices died of poisoned rabbits and went to StarClan.

## Quotes

«*Through the crisis, the white she-cat had been as steady as a rock, helping wherever she was needed. Both she and Onewhisker had been incredibly busy, especially as Tallstar was too weak to exert himself much. Even when her mother, Sorrelshine, had succumbed to the poison, Whitetail had braced herself and carried on. It terrified Onewhisker to see her break down like this.*»

**Whitetail**: "*Of course I* mind*, but not for the reason you think. You were never her mate while you were mine. But I wish you could have trusted me enough to tell me the truth from the first—or at least when she turned up with her kit. It sounds like she needed your help, and we might have been able to work something out.*"
**Onestar**: "*I was so afraid of losing you.*"
**Whitetail**: "*Onestar, I love you. We share a kit, and you have been my closest companion for so many moons. I haven't always understood the decisions you made, especially lately, but I would never give up on you for a mistake like this. Our lives are too short. [...] You're going to give your last life tomorrow, aren't you?*"
**Onestar**: "*If that's what it takes. I have to do everything I can to remove the threat of Darktail. Too many cats have suffered and died because of him—because of* me*. That needs to be put right, one way or another.*"
