*Autumnbreeze didn't say a word about StarClan. It was all just a myth anyways. Even if it did exist, why bless them? They were killing their cats!*

**Autumnbreeze** is a beautiful, fluffy reddish-ginger she-cat with black-and-white markings and sparkling green eyes. The lower half of her body had been amputated from severe burn wounds.

**Autumnbreeze** is a permanent NeedleClan queen serving under Snowstar and Codstar's leaderships. She was formerly a kittypet named Autumn, the replacement for her Twoleg's dead cat, Buster. When Birchfern had ran away and been taken by Twolegs, Autumn had happily greeted him, completely oblivious of his history, until Birchfern had informed her that he was a runaway NeedleClan warrior. Seeing his grief right through him, Autumn had tried to convince him again and again to return to NeedleClan, knowing cats probably miss him and are worried, however Birchfern isn't convinced until a search patrol consisting of his brother, Snakeheart, as well as Cypresswish and Gentlemist, find the two of them. Autumn is intrigued by the ways of Clan life and decides to come with the patrol. She seems to get close to Cypresswish right away, chatting with her eagerly. In NeedleClan, she is greeted by Snowstar and Rainpaw, which the former grants Autumn with her new Clan name, as an apprentice, **Autumnpaw**. Ivyshadow seems to taunt Snowstar, asking who her mentor will be, which the leader replies calmly that Snakeheart will train her. When Rookpaw rejects showing Autumnpaw around the camp, Cypresswish quickly offers to do so instead, which Snakeheart hesitantly agrees on. During her first training session with Snakeheart, Autumnpaw shows clear hesitation in fighting, and is curious if she could resort to ways that isn't violent. Snakeheart offers that Autumnpaw could become a permanent queen, and although hesitant at first, she becomes intrigued by the idea. Not long after, Autumnpaw becomes a permanent queen, taking on the name **Autumnbreeze**.

While Autumnbreeze and Cypresswish are eating, the two have a small chat with Eeltalon, who Cypresswish introduces as a cat who had fought Fatekeeper, the Clans' great rival, resulting in a broken paw. During this time, Autumnbreeze begins to grow feelings for Cypresswish, and becomes rather upset when Cypresswish suddenly leaves to the warriors' den, resulting in her being desperate to comfort her. She follows her, trying to tell her what's wrong, but it's to no avail, so the queen instead goes on a walk with Eeltalon, where she admits that she likes Cypresswish, and is finding herself unsure of what to do. Eeltalon tells her that she's sure Cypresswish will accept her, and to tell her whenever Autumnbreeze feels ready. After their patrol, Autumnbreeze returns to Cypresswish's side, admitting her feelings to her, which Cypresswish reciprocates. The two spend the afternoon together, watching Eeltalon and Nickflow converse, and Autumnbreeze catches on quickly that Eeltalon seems to have a crush on the warrior. Cypresswish goes to hunt and Autumnbreeze quickly grows concerned as she doesn't return for a while. Birchfern asks if she'd left to hunt, but Autumnbreeze feels something more is wrong. She ends up concerning more warriors, including Snakeheart, Eeltalon, and Nickflow. The five of them go searching for her, eventually finding Cypresswish being attacked by an unknown rogue, later being revealed as Whitestar, who is searching for Cream and her mate, Skunkstar, BoulderClan's current leader. Snakeheart gives out his location, shocking Autumnbreeze, although Snakeheart claims that Skunkstar had tried to kill him multiple times and he could care less if the tom lost one or two lives. Shaking it off, Autumnbreeze hurries to Cypresswish's side to help take her back to camp. They end up at the Twolegplace, where they meet a kittypet named Rose. They all are rather unamused by his flirtatious behavior, except Eeltalon, who seems to comment how he looks rather pretty, frustrating Nickflow especially. Autumnbreeze eventually leaves, weirded out by the whole situation, while everyone else follows, Nickflow dragging Eeltalon away as she does as well.

Not long after the incident, Autumnbreeze checks in on Ivyshadow and Honeysmoke, asking if she could get them anything, which Ivyshadow tells her to get his mate a vole, before leaving to hunt. Autumnbreeze is confused by Ivyshadow's odd behavior and asks Honeysmoke if something was bothering him, which Honeysmoke seems to be unsure herself, although thinks it's because of Rainshade's crush on Snowstar. While getting some soaked moss for the queen, she spots Snowstar being attacked by Ivyshadow, albeit is unaware of the latter's identity due to the distance, and rushes over, diving in the water to fetch her deceased leader. Snowstar comes back to life not long after and insists that the two return to camp. They are greeted by Honeysmoke and Ivyshadow, which Honeysmoke begins to fret by the information of Snowstar losing a life, resulting in an early kitting.

Autumnbreeze wanders around camp, confronted by Scorpionpaw and Gulfpaw, who begin to bully Autumnbreeze due to her kittypet history. It isn't until Cypresswish breaks up the fight, intimidating the two apprentices with her colossal size, that they leave Autumnbreeze alone. Eeltalon asks what had happened, which Autumnbreeze only insists that they were talking about her kittypet origin rather than the two actually teasing her for it. Eeltalon is curious on Snowstar's whereabouts, which Snakeheart replies while passing by that he was sure he saw him with Rainshade while hunting at moonfall. Autumnbreeze notes that Snowstar had been spending an awful lot of time with Rainshade, but doesn't seem too bothered by it. While Scorpionsting had disappeared, her kits are all taken care of by Autumnbreeze, who tries to reassure Covekit, the kitten thinking that Scorpionsting had purposely left them behind. Autumnbreeze reassures the kitten that she's young and it's only pressuring to her, and that she'll be back soon, but Covekit doesn't seem very convinced. After a fight breaks out between Beetlepaw and Tupelobill, Autumnbreeze decides to go on a walk alone, finding a whole abandoned litter. She returns to camp with the four kits, naming them Flowerkit, Skykit, Hollykit, and Honeykit. She watches as Floretkit, Covekit, and Softkit rebel against Scorpionsting, hiding her adopted litter away from sight. She tries to comfort Scorpionsting, but is only dejected. During an attack involving Cloudeyes and Snowstar, Autumnbreeze, alongside Snakeheart, Ravenspots, Jaysong, and Grayrunner, all attack the rogue, who launches himself at Autumnbreeze, who tries to slam him against the ground to stun him, but to no avail, as Cloudeyes slashes at her face. Eventually, the fight is broken up by the yowl of a mysterious cat, as Cloudeyes runs off.

During the NeedleClan fire, Autumnbreeze is told to run to the beach, however, ends up getting lost, shortly before being attacked by Ivyshadow. She tries to escape, but the tom tackles her to the ground, burning her with a large branch caught ablaze. As she is about to be killed, her life is saved by a DeerClan warrior, Butterslip, who slips beneath her and rushes to SwiftClan's camp to find help. Barely conscious, Autumnbreeze asks her kits where Flowerpaw is, but they seem clueless to her location. Realizing what must've happened to her, Autumnbreeze lets out a quiet and weak wail of grief, knowing her adopted daughter is very likely dead. Fire helps Autumnbreeze get to SwiftClan's camp, where Autumnbreeze reassures her living three kits that they're all so brave and she couldn't ask for better kits than them. During one of Autumnbreeze's exercises, she, as well as Codstone and Firepaw, end up getting lost, where they once again meet Rose. Instead of unamused, Autumnbreeze grows shy and timid, self-consciously hiding herself behind Codstone to hide her burn wounds. Codstone instead displays her to Rose, who seems rather unphased by the injuries, only saddened that it could happen to such a pretty she-cat like her. Autumnbreeze helps care for Jaykit, Leopardkit, Reefkit, and Torrentkit after the death of Snowstar, knowing it would be difficult for Rainshade due to her grief.

While out on a walk with Cypresswish, Autumnbreeze's mate is suddenly kidnapped by a Twoleg, and Autumnbreeze finds herself completely helpless, trying to chase after the monster Cypresswish was put in. However, the monster speeds off, recklessly crashing straight into a sign, crushing Cypresswish between the car and the sign. Once Autumnbreeze manages to catch up, she realizes quickly that Cypresswish had been killed in the crash, and lets out a wail of grief, believing she will never see her mate again. After this death, Autumnbreeze remains missing for several moons, eventually being found by Honeypuddle, Hollytree, and Skyfluff. Autumnbreeze tells the three kits that their adopted mother had been killed, and although upset, they prioritize on trying to comfort Autumnbreeze, who appreciates it but still feels dull. She is present at Snakeheart's death, and her mental health begins to deteriorate as Hollytree, Skyfluff, and Honeypuddle all pass as well. Out of her grief, she eventually finds a kit, Daffodilkit, lost with his leg stuck in a vine, and decides to adopt him, but panics when she finds he is lost not long after. Believing he's dead, she makes his mark along with all her other dead family members, however, is surprised to find him at the Gathering and pleas for him to come home, only for Snakewhisker to stop her and tell her to drop it. Autumnbreeze grows frustrated as Codstar doesn't mention Daffodilpaw's disappearance, understanding that he was there, not realizing Codstar didn't know Daffodilpaw at all.

After realizing Daffodilpaw wouldn't be coming back, she took in another kitten of which she named Wishingkit after Cypresswish, and shortly after took in another litter consisting of Slatekit, Turtlekit, and Cornkit.
