“I am no medicine cat; I cannot read the stars like Yellowfang or Cinderpelt, but I have always been willing to trust our warrior ancestors, wherever they might lead our Clan.” ―Whitestorm to Fireheart about the warrior code.
Whitestorm is a snowy-white tom with yellow eyes.
Whitestorm was a deputy under Firestar, and also served under Bluestar’s leadership in the forest territories. He was born as Whitekit to Snowfur and Thistleclaw, and shortly thereafter, his mother was killed by a monster. He was then fostered by Robinwing alongside Brindlekit and Frostkit; however, it was Bluefur who mainly took care of him. He was apprenticed as Whitepaw to Patchpelt and later earned his warrior name, Whitestorm. The tom continued to serve admirably and rose to become one of Bluestar’s most trusted warriors, being one of the cats to welcome Rusty, a kittypet tom, into ThunderClan.
After being a warrior for quite some time, he fathered Brindleface’s kits, Ashkit, Fernkit, Elderkit, and Tulipkit before mentoring Sandstorm and Brightheart. He later became mates with Willowpelt, and the two had three kits, Sorrelkit, Sootkit, and Rainkit. Despite blaming himself for Bluestar’s death, Whitestorm was chosen as Firestar’s first deputy, and fought in the battle against BloodClan; however, when he was killed by Bone, Whitestorm chose Graystripe as his successor, and ascended to StarClan.
Whitestorm in The Prophecies Begin
Whitestorm is a senior warrior and has an apprentice, Sandpaw. He is one of ThunderClan’s wisest warriors, and Bluestar often consults him for advice. He is also the father of Brindleface’s four kits; however, two of the kits die in kithood. Whitestorm accompanies Lionheart to take the kittypet, Rusty, back to ThunderClan’s camp. Firepaw slowly but surely earns the senior warrior’s respect. Sandpaw becomes Sandstorm, and Whitestorm is granted a second apprentice, Brightpaw. When Fireheart becomes deputy, Whitestorm shows no resentment even though he was a more popular choice among the Clan. He eventually becomes the sole cat Bluestar trusts and often tries to take care of her, reassuring her when she doubts her own Clan’s loyalty. He and his mate, Willowpelt, have three kits, Sorrelkit, Sootkit, and Rainkit.
When Bluestar dies, Whitestorm in particular is devastated, blaming himself for not watching over his beloved aunt. Upon receiving his nine lives, Firestar appoints Whitestorm as the Clan deputy. Whitestorm is pleasantly surprised and humbly accepts the position. His former apprentice, Brightpaw, who gained the name of Lostface upon being scared by dogs, is given the new warrior name of Brightheart, much to Whitestorm’s content. However, the new deputy is killed in the battle against BloodClan by Bone. Before he passes, he tells Firestar that he wishes for Graystripe to succeed him as deputy, knowing that the gray tom was Firestar’s best friend, before he succumbs to his wounds and dies. In an act of retaliation, Tawnypaw, Bramblepaw, Ashpaw, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw kill Bone.
Whitestorm in Bluestar’s Prophecy
Whitekit is the son of Thistleclaw and Snowfur. He befriends Tigerkit, the only other kit in the nursery, and the two maintain their competitive friendship throughout their apprenticeship. While chasing ShadowClan warriors off of their territory with Bluefur, Snowfur is killed by a monster, which traumatizes Whitekit. Thistleclaw blames Bluefur for leaving Whitekit without a mother and orders her to stay away from his son. Robinwing offers to nurse him in the meantime. Goosefeather warns Bluefur of Thistleclaw’s influence, so Bluefur fosters Whitekit and raises him to become a wise and patient tom. Patchpelt mentors him, a choice Bluefur approves of, and he earns his warrior name, Whitestorm. He and Bluefur remain close when she becomes deputy, and eventually, leader of ThunderClan.
