🪶. *. ꒰. Hawkfrost .

Hawkfrost is a highly ambitious, manipulative, and ruthless RiverClan warrior, designed as a "clone" of his father, Tigerstar, in both appearance and cold personality. He is charming and popular among his clanmates but secretly craves power, using deception and violence to secure a leadership position. While deeply loyal to his father’s dark legacy, he holds a complex, protective, yet manipulative bond with his sister, Mothwing.

In Winds of Change, Hawkfrost approaches Mudclaw at a Gathering, hearing rumors about WindClan's turbulent leadership. He asks Mudclaw to speak with him at the island later, suggesting that Firestar is controlling Onewhisker and plans to take over WindClan. He urges Mudclaw that they should find allies to secure Mudclaw's place as WindClan's leader, noting how Firestar is attempting to do the same thing Tigerstar did when he was alive. He suggests that Onewhisker must be killed, and hints to Mudclaw that he should name him WindClan's deputy when he becomes leader. Hawkfrost plans to take over RiverClan with Brambleclaw heading ThunderClan and Blackstar following in suit. However during the fight, Firestar and his warriors arrive to aid WindClan, and Hawkfrost and Mudclaw flee. Hawkfrost betrays Mudclaw to save Brambleclaw, lying that the rebellion was all Mudclaw's idea, and Mudclaw realizes too late that Hawkfrost manipulated him.

In A Shadow in RiverClan, Hawk joins RiverClan alongside Sasha and Moth. He becomes Leopardstar's apprentice, and Feathertail worries for him, so she keeps an eye on Hawkpaw's training. During a fox ambush and a territory quarrel against WindClan, Hawkpaw shows a great amount of fierceness and great skill in battle. Feathertail is continuously concerned by how much he resembles his father Tigerstar, but ultimately keeps his heritage a secret in order to protect him. He is among the patrol that tracks down the fox that had invaded RiverClan camp to try and get rid of it, and Leopardstar loses a life protecting him after he rushes in without thinking.

In Mothwing's Secret, Hawkfrost is determined to prove his worth to RiverClan and one day become leader. After Mothwing decides to become a medicine cat, Hawkfrost eventually accepts that her position will prove beneficial for both of them, and he fakes a sign signifying StarClan's approval of Mothwing's training.

When Stormfur returns to RiverClan, Hawkfrost believes Stormfur poses a threat to his future leadership and manipulates Mothwing to fake a dream to cast Stormfur out.

Hawkfrost is a new warrior of RiverClan and is popular among his Clanmates. His and Mothwing's heritage continues to haunt them as cats from other Clans distrust them for their mother being a rogue. When Mistyfoot is captured by Twolegs, Hawkfrost is promoted to deputy as her replacement. His ambition continues to drive his decisions when Mistyfoot returns. When his father being Tigerstar is revealed to the rest of the Clans, Hawkfrost insists he is a loyal warrior dedicated to the code, and Brambleclaw finds kinship in his half-brother. Hawkfrost decides to stay with RiverClan when Sasha arrives and asks for her kits to stay with her before the Great Journey.

When the Clans arrive in their new home, Hawkfrost suggests RiverClan should live on the island and openly challenges Mistyfoot when she disagrees. He sides with Mudclaw in his rebellion to overthrow Onewhisker, but later changes his mind to save Brambleclaw. The brothers grow closer and walk in the same dreams under the guidance of their father, Tigerstar, who wishes for them to be leaders of their Clans someday. When Stormfur and Brook, the former of which could become deputy in the future, return to RiverClan, Hawkfrost forces Mothwing to fake a dream foretelling the two outsiders to leave. During an argument, Hawkfrost reveals he faked a sign to Mudfur that helped his sister become the medicine cat apprentice.

After Brambleclaw becomes the deputy of ThunderClan, Hawkfrost is pleased, and Tigerstar's plans for revenge begin to fall into place.

Sasha gives birth to Tigerstar's kits in the forest and names them Tadpole, Hawk, and Moth. He is close to his brother, Tadpole, and bears a striking resemblance to Tigerstar. Sasha is fearful of ShadowClan discovering her kits' true heritage and confines them to their den. However, the kits decide to search for Sasha's former owner, Ken, but Tadpole drowns in a Twoleg nest. Grieving for Tadpole, Pine takes Sasha and her kits to a barn with other queens, but they are promptly chased out.

Sasha realizes the safest place for her kits to grow up is with the Clans, and she takes them to RiverClan and tells her kits about their father. Hawk and Moth are accepted within the Clan and soon made apprentices. They discover the remains of the Bonehill, and Leopardstar tells them the horrors Tigerstar committed. The two kits confront their mother, and Sasha makes them promise never to reveal who their father was. Recognizing her kits will be safer if Sasha was not around, Sasha leaves her kits in RiverClan, and Leopardstar promises to watch over them.

Brambleclaw

When Brambleclaw first sees Hawkfrost, it is at a Gathering where Leopardstar introduces him and Mothwing as warriors. Once Brambleclaw gets a closer look at the muscular tom, he exclaims that he would not want to face him in battle. Brambleclaw discovers that he is kin with Hawkfrost. They share a few sentences, before Hawkfrost orders Brambleclaw and the rest of his patrol off RiverClan territory. After the leaders decide to move into their new territory, Hawkfrost expresses that he wishes that the two could have hunted together, causing Brambleclaw to wonder if he felt kinship for the tom.

Blackclaw

Blackclaw was Hawkfrost's closest friend, and they often fought beside each other. Blackclaw supported Hawkfrost politically, spreading false rumors about the current deputy, Mistyfoot, to help him replace her, though Hawkfrost kept his more sinister schemes secret from Blackclaw. So when Hawkfrost mysteriously died, Blackclaw, along with the rest of RiverClan, were not aware it was due to a backfired murder attempt. They mourned for him.

Hawkfrost was a RiverClan warrior under Leopardstar's leadership in the forest and lake territories and was a member in the Dark Forest. Hawk was born a rogue to Sasha and Tigerstar alongside his littermates, Tadpole and Moth. After Tadpole's death, Sasha took her kits to RiverClan, where he was renamed Hawkkit, and later became an apprentice as Hawkpaw, being mentored by Leopardstar. After becoming a warrior, Hawkfrost was made deputy temporarily, but was demoted back to a warrior after Mistyfoot returned. Following the arrival at the lake, he urged Mudclaw in his rebellion and grew close to his half-brother, Brambleclaw.

Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw were trained in the Dark Forest by their father, and once Brambleclaw became ThunderClan's deputy.

Hawkfrost is a huge, muscular, long-legged, broad-shouldered, mackerel-striped dark brown tabby tom with a snow-white underbelly, and matted, dull fur. He has a bushy tail, a scarred, broad muzzle, long claws, huge paws, and ice-blue eyes.
