Mothwhistle is a skinny, small, and sharp-clawed half creme and half dark brown tabby she-cat with light teal eyes, a moth's wing tucked into her ear, a red bandanna, and an aro-ace wristband.
Moth was born in Windclan territory alongside her sister Night. Her mother, Autumn, was too weak from giving birth to travel for at least a while so they grew up at Fourtrees. At 4 moons old, a Windclan patrol found the three cats and killed both Autumn and Night. Moth hid under a bush and watched as the Windclan patrol searched for her and then left.
Moth grew up angry and hateful at the barn, believing that no cat should be more fortunate than she was, and that if she had to suffer then everyone else who'd been even slightly involved had to suffer as well. She went to Windclan at 3 years old with the plot of using her scrawniness to seem unthreatening, and knowing that nobody there would remember what she looked like. Windclan, who were suffering from lack of warriors with a Leafbare on the way, took her in and let her choose a suffix for herself. Moth, in a cruel twist of words, decided to be Moth'whistle. She didn't tell anyone, but she had named herself this after the whistling death in her mother's stories when they were kits. The whistling death was an all black cat who came to Fourtrees every moon and watched the gathering, and if the clan displeased Starclan then the Whistling death would kill them all.
Moth'whistle started her plot right away, but first she had to become a trusted warrior so that she wouldn't be suspected. After a few moons in the clan Leafbare had hit and she led two Windclan kits, Robinkit and Pebblekit, into the snow offering to show them outside camp. She led them to Fourtrees and convinced Pebblekit to eat deathberries, the kit did so and then died. Robinkit, starting to catch on by now, was force-fed the red berries by Moth'whistle. Upon returning to camp with their bodies, Moth'whistle said that she had found them just outside of camp next to a deathberry bush and all the cats believed her. Now that she knew she was trusted, she could start attacking cats with her claws.
The night before the October gathering, Moth'whistle went ahead of everyone in secret and found an elder also there early. She used cobwebs to blind the elder, and then slashed her throat. She put a bloody pawprint on Fourtrees to state that a Windclan cat had killed the elder, and then spread mud across the body and ground to mask scent. Upon the body being found, Moth'whistle made sure that she was in the back of the Windclan gathering group.
A few days later, everycat was still on edge, and the deputy Boulderheart was bullying Moth'whistle for her past and how she was skinny. She challenged Boulderheart to a race to Fourtrees, and made sure to loop around when he was in the lead. She snuck up behind him once he was there, leapt on him, covered his eyes in Cobwebs, and slashed his throat. She, again, put a pawprint on Fourtrees. She also took one toe of hers and made two others, to represent the kits she had killed. A warrior, Rocketscar, had spotted her doing this and then attacked her. Moth'whistle killed him as well, and then dragged both bodies back to camp. The medicine cat apprentice, Crowpaw, seemed suspicious of her and was decided as her next target.
Moth'whistle told him that a cat was wounded at fourtrees, and then snuck away on the way there. She covered herself in mud and then went back and attacked Crowpaw. Flamepaw also tagged along, as he was already very suspicious of this, and both were attacked. Moth'whistle tore Flamepaw's tail off and Crowpaw's foot off, then left them for dead. Flamepaw had fought back for a moment, and discovered that she had some light color on her fur after uncovering some mud with a blow to the shoulder. The two apprentices both managed to get back to camp and survive, where Flamepaw convinced Squirrelpaw to tell him what happened and trap her.
Moth'whistle had Flamepaw follow her to Fourtrees and attacked him, only to be stopped by Squirrelpaw, Leafstar, and the medicine cat Silversky. Moth'whistle was dragged back to camp where she was exiled, however before she was chased off, she explained that once everycat had forgotten about her she'd come back and join again, and then do this over and over again until Windclan was fully gone. She was then chased out.
Moth'whistle joined Bloodclan and went to war with Windclan, where she killed two more cats, was half blinded, and then later died of her wounds at Carrionplace. She did not go to the Darkforest, as she didn't believe in either them or Starclan. Instead, she simply faded away forever.
History[]
Exile[]
- "Don't you see? I did this so that everycat will think of me for a long long time. And when everycat forgets about me, and you're all long dead, I'll return and do it all again. I will never let my memory rest, and the day it does is the day your clan dies all over again."

Talking to Squirrelpaw[]
- "If you dare to tell anyone, I may be exiled. But be assured that even then, I wont stop. I'll just have free range of the territory, and nothing to hide."

Flamepaw and Squirrelpaw[]
- "I know you and her are up to something, just.. tell me!! I can help, I promise."

Personality[]
Moth'whistle is very smart, using what's around her to fight instead of simple battle tactics. This includes blinding cats with cobwebs, poisoning cats with deathberries, and shoving a cat's head down a rabbit hole to suffocate them.
Trivia[]
- Main article: [[{{{1}}}]]Moth'whistle isn't actually Aro-ace, she's just refused to let herself love anyone due to it getting in the way of her work. She wears the wristband since she can't explain to anyone in Windclan that she's not able to have a mate while she's busy killing everyone.
