Whitestorm

Ch"Whitestorm was experienced, wise and brave. When Firestar had been made deputy, he had shown not a scrap of resentment that a lesser cat might have felt. He had supported him from the begginning, and he was the cat Firestar naturally turned to when he needed advice."



--Firestar's thoughts on Whitestorm in The Darkest Hour, page 99


 * Whitestorm is a large, thick-furred, broad shouldered, long-bodied, muscular white tom with yellow eyes and a scar behind his ear

When it is time for his apprentice ceremony, Bluefur asks Sunstar if she can mentor him, because she wants to make sure that he doesn't get any bad influences from Thistleclaw.

He replies saying that ShadowClan wasn't as weak as they thought they would be, and that Nightpelt has more abition than any cat expected. When Bluestar tells Fireheart and Graystripe to journey and bring WindClan back, Whitestorm tells them may they have StarClan's protection. He was seen again waiting near the entrance of the camp with Longtail, preparing for a patrol and calling Sandpaw over to join. Whitestorm was with Tigerclaw when he told Fireheart that Cinderpaw and Brakenfur should be assessed. He tells Fireheart that Cinderpaw is a keen apprentice, and that he's sure she'll bring enough food for the Clan. He approaches Fireheart and Graystripe telling Graystripe to get rest, and for Fireheart to train the apprentices.
 * When Fireheart says he was getting something from Yellwofang for a bellyache, he tells Fireheart to get it and to go hunt as well, because they can't have lazy warriors hanging around camp.

 * Rising Storm
 * When Darkstripe asks who is leading the sunhigh patrol, Whitestorm tells him that Fireheart would tell them who when he came back from hunting. Fireheart tells Whitestorm that he should've planned the patrols sooner, but Whitestorm tells him that everyone is used to Tigerclaw telling them what to do and when.
 * Whitestorm tells Fireheart that Brindleface thinks he kits are ready to become apprentices, and that she wants to tell Bluestar herself, but she hasn't been in the nursery lately. Whitestorm asks Fireheart if Cluodaw was out hunting for the elders, and he said yes, but didn't know what was taking him so long. When Cloudpaw returns at sunset, Fireheart gets angry at him, but Whitestorm tells Fireheart Cloudpaw will eventually learn.
 * When Fireheart has to go to Highstones with Bluestar, Longtail comments saying Fireheart is no Tigerclaw, and Whitestorm defends Fireheart telling Longtail that it's no good that he isn't.

 * When Whitestorm returns from the dawn patrol on the ShadowClan border, he tells Fireheart that there was no scent of ShadowClan but there were trampled undergrowth and pidgeon feathers near Snakerocks. He also said the whole place reeked like dog, and told Fireheart to make sure his patrols are catious around there. Then when Fireheart lets Brightpaw and Cluodpaw go hunting together right after they went on the dawn patrol Whitestorm says he wishes he had their energy.

When Sorrelkit, his daughter, is poisoned with deathberries by Darkstripe, the next day he tells Firestar that she is awake. When Darkstripe is driven out, he asks if they are allowed to chase him from the territory if they see him.
 * When BloodClan comes to the forest, he obeys orders to prepare with his normal calm efficiency, but privately asks Firestar if the cost of fighting BloodClan might be too high.

Firestar tells him there is no nobler warrior than him in all the forest. He is later cruelly slaughtered in the battle against BloodClan by Bone, the BloodClan second in command.
