Quailfeather

**Quailfeather** is a pale silver tabby molly.

**Quailfeather** was a River Colony warrior under Salmonmist and Shadyfern's leaderships. She was born to Milktail and Kestrelstar alongside her brother Reedleap as **Quailkit**. She met Barleyspring while trying to take prey from the meadow territory. They became mates shortly after. Reedleap, disapproving, started many arguments with Quailfeather over the issue, but she stood her ground. She became pregnant with Barleyspring's kits, but during the birth, had a complication and died from bloodloss.

## History

### *Wind Whispers*

She is indirectly mentioned as Kestrelstar's kit when during a battle, Oakfoot remembers Talonclaw telling her about Kestrelstar and his legacy.

She is later seen cuddling up to Barleyspring at a gathering.

### *Flood Season*

*Coming soon...*
Quailfeather announces her pregnancy to the colony, avoiding questions about the father, and goes to the nursery; continuing to help around camp.

She starts to give birth and has two kits, but one breaches. It eventually comes out, but at that point, she had lost too much blood and the other two kits, too much oxygen. Her and the two last kits perished.

During her funeral, Blizzardspark and Brackenstrike are the ones to bury her.

When Cinnamonfur tells a Meadow Colony patrol the news, they react in shock and gossip about Barleyspring's reaction.
