Crookedstar is a huge, light brown tabby tom with green eyes and a twisted jaw. Crookedstar was a RiverClan leader in the forest territories. He was born as Stormkit to Rainflower and Shellheart alongside his brother, Oakkit. Following an accident in which he broke his jaw, Stormkit was renamed Crookedkit at the request of Rainflower. She disowned him, leading to Crookedkit running away from the Clan. After returning, he was apprenticed as Crookedpaw to Cedarpelt. He was continually visited in his dreams by Mapleshade, who trained him and demanded he stay loyal to RiverClan above all else. After becoming a warrior, Crookedjaw learned Mapleshade was from the Dark Forest and cut ties with her. However, she orchestrated an omen which allowed him to be selected as deputy, and Crookedstar succeeded Hailstar as leader. He became mates with Willowbreeze, but after the birth of their kits, she succumbed to greencough alongside Minnowkit and Willowkit. Not long after the death of their only remaining kit, Silverstream, Crookedstar himself died of greencough, ascending to StarClan and gave Mistystar one of her nine lives.
