Warrior Cats/Characters/Wind Clan

WindClan is one of the clans in Warrior Cats. While not as important as ThunderClan or ShadowClan, they still have many major characters.

Main index can be found here.

Tallstar
Leader of WindClan for the first and part of the second series, Tallstar was already elderly when introduced. He is a fair leader who prefers diplomacy to battle, and is always ready to accept help from others, particularly ThunderClan, who saves him several times over the course of the series.


 * Amber Eyes
 * Cool Old Guy
 * King On His Deathbed: Is ill for quite a long time. Mudclaw looks forward to being leader, but when, Mudclaw doesn't believe it, and thinks that some scheming has been going on behind his back.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Still the Leader: Tallstar becomes so old and ill that his second-in-command, Mudclaw, makes most of the decisions for the Clan. With his dying breaths, Tallstar decides that he doesn't want Mudclaw to be the next leader, so since's still leader, he has the authority to make Onewhisker his successor instead.

Onestar
A friend of Firestar's, often meeting him and Graystripe at Gatherings. He was unexpectedly named as Tallstar's successor just prior to the latter's death, catapulting him to being leader of WindClan. Since then, he has been attempting to prove WindClan's independence and strength, primarily by distancing himself and his Clan with ThunderClan.


 * Nice Guy: Before he...
 * Took a Level In Jerkass: Does he EVER! His Jerkassitude started in Twilight, and (besides helping Firestar and his Clan against the badgers) seems to be getting worse.
 * Unexpected Successor: So unexpected that half the Clan rebelled because of it.

Mudclaw
A warrior of WindClan before being the deputy in The New Prophecy. After Onewhisker becomes the leader instead of him, he gets angry and leads a rebellion against him. But the rebellion ended when a tree fell down and crushed him, making a path to get to Gatherings. .


 * Commander Contrarian
 * Dropped a Bridge On Him: More like "Dropped A Tree On Him".

Tornear
A warrior of WindClan that appears several times in the series as a minor character.


 * Back From the Dead: Dies in the final battle during The Darkest Hour, but comes back to life in The New Prophecy.
 * Unfortunate Name

Morningflower
One of WindClan's queens. During the events of Fire and Ice, Firestar met her and helped her carry her son Gorsekit.

Whitetail
A senior warrior of WindClan. She joins the patrol in The Fourth Apprentice to free the water.


 * Ascended Extra: When she joins the water patrol.
 * Ship Tease: Has one with Onestar when she shares his den.

Crowfeather
A rude and prickly WindClan warrior, who was among the chosen cats to journey to Midnight and discover the Clans' new home. He is very disagreeable and obnoxious, but softens some after a relationship with Feathertail (he chose his warrior name in honor of her memory). Later, he has a short affair with Leafpool, and. He currently has a mate and son in WindClan, more to prove that he's loyal to the Clan than out of any real feelings, and is distancing himself from ThunderClan.


 * Blue Eyes, though the later part of The New Prophecy seemed to change his eye color to amber for a while
 * The Chosen One
 * Commander Contrarian: Was this during the first part of the journey in The New Prophecy - Brambleclaw even thought several times that Crowpaw argued just for the sake of disagreeing.
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: Though he's only shown it to Feathertail and Leafpool.
 * : Does it without even knowing

Breezepelt
Just as rude and obnoxious as his father, Crowfeather. Breezepelt is not well-liked by most cats. At least part of this is thought to be due to Crowfeather's coldness toward him. He despises and is quickly becoming an antagonist.

"Jayfeather: (thinking) He's waiting for his father to praise him."
 * Abusive Parents
 * Amber Eyes
 * Motive Decay: He first
 * The Rival: To Jayfeather and Lionblaze.
 * Rival Turned Evil
 * Well Done Son Guy: Implied in Eclipse, though definitely not anymore.

Heathertail
With Lionblaze, she was part of one of the few inter-Clan relationships that isn't a romance, though probably it would have developed into one as they got older. She hates Lionblaze now.


 * Romantic False Lead
 * Genki Girl
 * Purple Eyes - They're listed as blue in the Allegiances, but this is what the authors had in mind. The books mention that she is named for her eyes, and her Cats of the Clans portrait shows her with purple-ish eyes, as can be seen here.
 * Unlucky Childhood Friend

Sedgewhisker
A warrior of WindClan who was lost in the tunnels as a kit. After being rescued, she told the WindClan warriors about the tunnels, thus causing the battle during Eclipse. Later, she joined the patrol to defeat the beavers and free the water.

 * Gender Bender: Was female in her first appearance as a kit, male in the rest of Power of Three, and female in Omen of the Stars.
