Snowdawn

Snowdawn is a main character in the book. She is the point-of-view in half the chapters, the others going to her sister, Flamepool. She takes after her mother heavily in all aspects, inheriting Moonstar's body structure, white fur and amber eyes. Snowdawn is the "blazing snow" mentioned in the prophecy.

Birth and Family
Snowdawn and her sister, Flamepool were born towards the end of leaf-fall. Her mother was Moonstar, leader of MoonClan, and her father is Dayflight. She takes on Sootstar as a mate, and they later have two kits named Spiderkit and Cloudkit.

Kithood
Snowdawn, as a kit, didn't like to get in trouble, but was dragged into it constantly by her sister. At only a moon old, her sister and her got in trouble for leaving camp with Sootlife and Lilacslash and was attacked by a fox. Luckily, Moonstar, Dayflight, Blackpelt and Foxwhisper were there to save them.

Apprenticeship
Snowdawn's mentor was Sunheart. She tried her best to keep out of trouble and helped her best friend, Mallowfeather as much as she could around the medicine den when she had nothing else to do. During her training, her friendship with Sootstar grew after he was attacked by Lilacslash. During her apprenticeship, she also found out that it was in fact Lilacslash and Lilyfur who were attacking and killing cats.

Warriorhood
Snowdawn begin to fall more in love with Sootstar as they aged. She figured out from Flamepool that there is a prophecy and that they were part of it, and finally confided to her sister about Lilacslash being the reason for the deaths. She goes missing for a period of time after looking for Branchflight in the Twolegplace and returns very weak, but alive. She survives the battle of MoonClan and her and Sootstar start a family of their own.
