The Mountain Clans Series

Clan Leaders
Deerstar is old, yet calm and light-hearted. Blizzardfur, her deputy, is serious and fiercely loyal, as is the medicine cat and brother of Blizzardfur, Sleetfoot.

Senior Warriors
Nettleclaw is a terse and aggressive tom, but rarely resorts to violence. Briairstep is his opposite, counterpart, and mate: nurturing and sympathetic. Duskflower and Mintwhisker are carefree and mischievous, but are incredibly careful and mature at heart. Gingertail is often exasperated with the previous two, and is by nature very serious.

Warriors
Runningbrook is incredibly energetic and daring, but is often careless. Brackenflame is a fierce warrior and is the strongest fighter in the clan. Snowdapple is very young and soft-spoken. Eagleheart, another new warrior, is agreeable and considerate.

Apprentices
Echopaw is almost a warrior and is dutiful and responsible. Mousepaw is admirable and intelligent, yet modest and noble. Owlpaw is sensitive and nervous, but very keen. Irispaw is adventurous and sarcastic, yet caring and slightly pompous. Moonpaw is bright and creative, yet anxious and easily annoyed.

Prologue
Blizzardfur notes with pleasure how new leaf arrived early this year.
