Mosswing

Mosswing is a brown tabby she-cat with a white underbelly and green eyes. She is the daughter of Leafpelt and Yellowtail, the sister of Olivewing, the aunt of Eaglepaw and Kestrelpaw, the mate of Blackstripe, and the former mentor of Grasstail and Eaglefall.

Mosswing was mentored by her aunt, Emberstar (then Emberfoot). She received her apprentice name at the same time her sister, Olivewing, received hers. Mosswing was a warrior for only five moons when she saved a Clanmate, Deadtail, from drowning in the river after he had fallen unconscious and the SkyClan cats watching him did nothing to save him. For her bravery and courage, Mosswing received her warrior name before her sister Olivewing, beginning a cycle of hatred that would eventually lead to Olivewing's banishment from ThunderClan.

Mosswing originally was in love with Deadtail, but after Olivewing knew of her sister's affections she fooled Deadtail into loving her, taking the black tom from Mosswing as "punishment" for becoming a warrior before Olivewing. When Mosswing began to take interest in Blackstripe, Olivewing's former mentor, Olivewing attempted to turn him away from Mosswing as well, nearly leading to Blackstripe and Dewfoot's death. She was pregnant when she was banished, and eventually her two kits, Eagle and Kestrel, returned to ThunderClan. Mosswing mentored Eaglepaw (who eventually became Eaglefall) and her new mate, Blackstripe, mentored Kestrelpaw (who eventually became Kestrelwing).

Her mentor, Emberstar, wanted to make Mosswing deputy after she took Cloudstar's place, but Mosswing claimed that she was not fit to lead or control the Clan. She nominated her former apprentice, Eaglefall, instead.
