Blackrain is a WindClan warrior, currently serving under the leadership of Goldenstar.

#### Appearance

Blackrain is a slim coal-black she-cat with one white ear and green eyes.

#### Family

Blackrain's parents are Fogdew and Mousenose, although her mother raised her with Ashleaf. She is the sister of Mistfur and Batstar. Blackrain mates with Troutleap, and the two have a daughter and a son: Robinclaw and Coldpool.

#### Comic Involvement

Blackrain tells Thorntail that Redstripe has just had her kits, Bubblekit, Willowkit, and Sparklekit.

Moons later, Blackrain walks with the rest of WindClan to a gathering.

Blackrain flirts with her secret mate Troutleap at a gathering.

Blackrain walks back to camp with the rest of WindClan, before Goldentail discovers that Bubblepaw, Willowpaw, and Sparklepaw have been killed. When her son Coldkit runs up to see the scene, she yells for him to get back.

Three moons later, Blackrain takes part in a midnight clan meeting called by Birchstar. She and Thorntail check the nursery and find that Redstripe and Forestkit are missing. Deerheart confirms that Coldpaw and Honeypaw are also missing. When Birchstar tells the clan that the two are dead and implies it was Coldpaw and Honeypaw's doing, Blackrain is horrified and outraged. However, this is a lie, and Birchstar is exiled.

Six moons later, Blackrain reveals the truth about Coldpool and Robinclaw's father to them. She tells them that their father is Troutleap and that they are half RiverClan. However, the two have already figured it out, so it's not a surprise. Blackrain then brings them to officially meet Troutleap at the border between WindClan and RiverClan. The meeting goes well until the group is interrupted by a RiverClan patrol made up of Beestripe, Birdsong, and Whitefang. Blackrain, Coldpool, and Robinclaw hide in the bushes as Troutleap is escorted back to camp by the patrol.

Blackrain stands in camp with the rest of WindClan as Thorntail assigns them patrols, with the goal of finding and killing Birchstar. Blackrain is assigned a patrol with Robinclaw, Bushberry, and Redstripe. After the meeting, she is seen conversing with her sister Mistfur. She then approaches a crying Redstripe, concerned, after she had a fight with her son Puddlepaw. She comforts her, standing by her side as Thorntail asks if everyone is ready to leave. However, Coldpool, Robinclaw, and Puddlepaw are missing. Redstripe makes the connection that the three have left on their own patrol.

Blackrain, Redstripe, and Thorntail find Robinclaw and Puddlepaw together on a cliff as it starts raining. Blackrain yells to her daughter before Puddlepaw slips and begins sliding down a slope toward a tall drop. Blackrain and Thorntail watch, panicking. Puddlepaw rights himself at the last minute, and he and Robinclaw make it back to the top before Blackrain and Thorntail arrive at the top of the hill, concerned.

One moon later, Blackrain arrives at a gathering with the rest of WindClan.

Coldpool tells Cloverpaw about his family tree, and a sprite of Blackrain appears when he tells her she is his mother.

Blackrain and Mistfur talk in camp as Goldenstar overlooks the clan. She and the rest of WindClan are shocked as ThunderClan cats flood into their camp, attacking. During the fight Blackrain is seen protecting Mistfur from Dustynose. She soon guides her sister to the medicine den and stays by her side as she passes out, before they are both cornered by Batstar. Batstar taunts her with a secret, and after a few moments reveals that he is her brother. Blackrain denies it and accuses him of lying, so Batstar begins to tell her about their parents, Mousenose and Fogdew.

#### Personality

Blackrain is outgoing and responsible, though doesn't mind taking a few risks, especially when she flirts with Troutleap at gatherings. Blackrain is very caring for other cats, doing her best to be a wonderful mate, mother, sister, friend and mentor. She is very protective of those she cares about and is not at all afraid to raise her voice if she feels one of her loved ones are being threatened.

#### Relationships

Troutleap: Troutleap is Blackrain's mate. They are deeply in love with each other and Blackrain openly flirts with him during gatherings despite it being frowned upon. She visits him at the border occasionally and is very understanding that he cannot leave his clan to be with her.

Redstripe: Redstripe and Blackrain are best friends and stayed in the nursery together while expecting kits. Blackrain can easily notice when Redstripe isn't doing well and is the only cat Redstripe trusts to train Puddlepaw.

Coldpool: Coldpool is the son of Blackrain and Troutleap. Blackrain cares deeply for him and is fiercely protective of her son, especially after the massacre. She tries to avoid giving him shocking news or any amount of stress when she knows he's already dealing with a lot - such as the massacre or carrying Redstripe back to camp - which is mainly why she didnt introduce him to his father sooner.

Robinclaw: Robinclaw is the daughter of Blackrain and Troutleap. Blackrain cares deeply for her and loves her daughter dearly. Despite not voicing it, it's clear she gets concerned whenever Robinclaw expresses how much she dislikes her own fur.

Mistfur: Mistfur is Blackrain's sister. They chat with each other very often and would do anything to protect each other in the blink of an eye.

Puddlepaw: Their relationships hasn't been explored, but Blackrain has been mentioned to be very patient with him during training.
