Brookfeather

**Brookfeather** is a brown tabby she-cat with white markings and soft green eyes.

## History

She is the mate of Foxstorm and as deputy of ThunderClan, she gives birth to Berrykit, Bearkit, Blossomkit and Sunkit.
When her children, Berrypaw and Sunpaw die during a ShadowClan ambush, she is distraught, and relies on her family for support. Bearpaw's isolation from his family and Clan terrifies her, and when she confronts her worries to her former apprentice, Littledawn, Littledawn makes sure Bearpaw gets himself up and moving again.
When Bearstep and Blossomfawn get their warrior names, she is overjoyed and full of pride for her remaining kits. However, she and Foxstorm feel a pang of grief, knowing that Berrypaw and Sunpaw should be with them.
Brookfeather is appointed deputy by Rootstar, even though their ideals often clash. Brookfeather is surprised, but serves him loyally. She is frustrated with him when he takes walks, decorates his den, collects items, and she creates an oath he must follow. Rootstar agrees, but refers to her as the Demon of ThunderClan.
Brookfeather agrees with Rootstar's decision to fight against WindClan. When the battle starts, Brookfeather faces off against Blackdove. Her tactics confuse the WindClan warrior, and she defeats her. Brookfeather looks up to see Rootstar against Scorchstar. She jumps onto Scorchstar and hisses at him to stay away from Rootstar. Scorchstar accidentally lands a killing blow to her, and the ThunderClan cats look up, horrified. Scorchstar quickly orders a retreat.
Rootstar stares over her dying body, begging her to get up. Brookfeather says quietly that she loved him, and passes away.
