CrowPool

Crowpool is the het ship between Leafpool and Crowfeather from the Warriors fandom.

Canon
Leafpool and Crowfeather realize their feelings for each other at the end of Starlight. Just as Leafpool is about to fall over the ravine, Crowfeather saves her life and confesses his love.

Their relationship builds through Twilight. They often sneak out of camp to meet each other at the border; Leafpool's most used excuse is gathering herbs. Not only is their relationship difficult since they are from opposing clans, but Leafpool is a medicine cat, meaning she has sworn to a life of chastity.

Close to the end of the book, Cinderpelt, Leafpool's mentor, discovers their trysts. Cinderpelt tries to make Leafpool break of the relationship, but Leafpool refuses and runs off. She goes to talk with Starclan, and Spottedleaf tells her to follow her heart. Since romance is often said to come from the heart, Leafpool believes she is being told to choose Crowfeather. She meets him at the border, and they run off together, past the clan territories. Thunderclan is left in shambles, and Cinderpelt is forced to reveal her apprentice's relationship.

Off with Crowfeather, Leafpool begins to doubt herself, missing her clan and sister. Though Crowfeather seems happy in their position, he reluctantly agrees to return when Leafpool asks. They rush to Thunderclan, just in time to help in the badger attack. However, Leafpool is too late, and Cinderpelt is killed. She mourns her mentor, realizing this would not have happened if she had not left. She breaks off her relationship with Crowfeather, and reaffirms her loyalty to Thunderclan and the medicine cat code.

Sometime afterward, she gives birth to her and Crowfeather's kits: Hollykit, Jaykit, and Lionkit. As a medicine cat, this is even worse than falling in love, so she gives her kits to her sister, Squirrelflight, who passes them off as her own.

Kits
LIONBLAZE Lionblaze is the current acting ThunderClan deputy under Squirrelflight's leadership in the lake territories, and has previously served under Firestar's, Bramblestar's and the impostor's leaderships. He was born as Lionkit to Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight alongside Hollyleaf and Jayfeather. He was a courageous and strong-willed young tom, and discovered his natural talent in battle. He was apprenticed to Ashfur as Lionpaw, and later learned he and his siblings were destined to be more powerful than StarClan. As a warrior, Lionblaze and his siblings were trapped by Ashfur, and Squirrelflight revealed they were not her kits. The siblings uncovered their true parents were Crowfeather of WindClan and Leafpool, the ThunderClan medicine cat, and Hollyleaf died after fleeing into the tunnels once the truth was revealed. He mentored Dovewing and taught her how to control her powers. Together with Jayfeather and Dovewing, the Three participated in the Great Battle and defeated the Dark Forest.

He and Cinderheart became mates and had two litters of kits: Hollytuft, Sorrelstripe, Fernsong, Flywhisker, Spotfur, and Snaptooth. Shorty after Bramblestar's revival, he was adamant about punishing the codebreakers. Lionblaze was one of them, and after he was reported for breaking the warrior code, Bramblestar exiled him. Lionblaze became a rogue for a quarter moon before returning to ThunderClan and swearing an oath of loyalty. However, he was later exiled for being half-Clan, and took refuge in ShadowClan. After Bramblestar's impostor was deposed of, he became temporary deputy under Squirrelflight.

HOLLYLEAF Hollyleaf was a ThunderClan warrior under Firestar's leadership in the lake territories. She arrived in ThunderClan as Hollykit, the daughter of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, alongside her brothers Lionblaze and Jayfeather. Initially, Hollypaw trained as a medicine cat apprentice, but switched to warrior training, soon learning of a prophecy concerning her and her brothers.

After becoming a warrior, Hollyleaf and her siblings were cornered in a fire by Ashfur, and, in order to save them, Squirrelflight revealed they were not her kits. Discovering that Leafpool and Crowfeather were her true parents, Hollyleaf killed Ashfur to keep him from telling the Clans, but frustrated that nothing had changed, she ultimately revealed the secret herself. After disappearing into the tunnels, Hollyleaf was believed to be dead, but eventually returned and fought in the Great Battle, saving Ivypool from Hawkfrost. As she died, Hollyleaf finally forgave Squirrelflight and Leafpool and ascended to StarClan.

JAYFEATHER Jayfeather is a ThunderClan medicine cat that has served under Firestar's, Bramblestar's, the impostor's, and Squirrelflight's leaderships in the lake territories. He was born as Jaykit, and is one of the children of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, alongside his siblings Hollyleaf and Lionblaze. He was apprenticed to Brightheart to train as a warrior, becoming Jaypaw. After discovering an extraordinary ability to connect with other cats' feelings and walk in their dreams, he was urged by Spottedleaf to train as a medicine cat. He eventually agreed to train under Leafpool. While walking in the dreams of Firestar, Jaypaw heard about the Kin of Your Kin prophecy, realizing he and his littermates were destined to be powerful.

He earned his medicine cat name, Jayfeather. When a fire erupted in ThunderClan's camp, it was forced out by Ashfur that Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw were not his true parents. The truth was eventually revealed that Leafpool and Crowfeather were their parents, causing a strain on the family. Shortly after Hollyleaf vanished, he and Lionblaze realized that she was not one of the Three and the prophecy was predicting the Dark Forest's rising.

Fulfilling the prophecy, he, Lionblaze, and the third cat, Dovewing, helped the Clans fight off the Dark Forest in the Great Battle. After the battle, Jayfeather, Lionblaze and Dovewing lost their powers, and Jayfeather gained an apprentice, Alderheart, whom he grew very close to. After Bramblestar's revival, he was adamant about punishing the codebreakers. Jayfeather was one of them and was forced to swear an oath of loyalty. He was later exiled by the impostor and joined as a refugee in ShadowClan. He returned to being a medicine cat of ThunderClan after the impostor was taken down.
