FeatherSasha

FeatherSasha is the femslash ship between Sasha and Feathertail from the Warriors fandom.

Canon
In the Warriors graphic novel A Shadow In RiverClan, Sasha arrives at RiverClan requesting shelter for her and her kits. Leapordstar, RiverClan's leader, and the other cats on the patrol agree to let her in. Feathertail is also thrilled at the idea of having new cats in RiverClan, as they have been suffering during Leafbare. Her brother, Stormfur, jokes with her about how he knew she just wanted new kits to do the apprentice duties. Feathertail laughs along with Stormfur at the joke.

After a while, Sasha seemed to be fitting in the clan well. This didn't sit too well with Feathertail, because she was angry that the warriors seemed to value Sasha over her. But after a while, Sasha and Feathertail become good friends. They talked a lot and were able to connect through their similarities.

Later, a few cats are watching over Sasha's kits, although they aren't keeping a close eye on them. Feathertail is angered by this, and thought that a rock could pay better attention to the kits. Then, one of the cats, Mossfire, throws a mossball and tells the kits to play with it. Moth and Hawk begin playing with the ball and roughhousing with each other. Then, the mossball rolls to close the river and falls in. Hawk falls in after the mossball and begins drowning. Hawk screeches for help from Moth or Sasha, and then Feathertail jumps in after him and gets him. She brings him back to the surface, and Leopardstar thanks her for her bravery.

After that, Feathertail helps Moth and Hawk learn the basics of swimming, so that it doesn't happen again. Sasha thanks her for helping her kits, and the kits thank her too. Later, Sasha's kits are about to become apprentices, and Feathertail hopes to become a mentor to one of them. Leopardstar ends up assigning Mistyfoot to mentor Mothpaw, and assigned Hawkpaw to herself. Feathertail knows that Mistyfoot would be a good mentor to Mothpaw, but is unsure about Leopardstar, due to the history between the two cats.

Later, Mossfire is watching two kits play, and one of them accidentally injures the other. Mossfire, who had been watching, says that Tigerstar comes and gets bad cats. The kit is stunned and says they'll be good. Sasha, having heard this, looked disappointed. Feathertail attempts to comfort Sasha by saying that Tigerstar's crimes were in the past, and that she doesn't need to worry about him anymore. Feathertail adds that she didn't even know Tigerstar. Sasha said that she did know Tigerstar. Feathertail is stunned, and then Sasha states that Tigerstar was the father of Moth and Hawk, but once Sasha knew of his crimes, she ran away. She then pleads Feathertail not to tell anyone who the father of Hawkpaw and Mothpaw is. Feathertail is enraged, and wanted to tell everyone, but she realized that the kits weren't the problem. Feathertail agrees to keep Sasha's secret, but ends their friendship.

After that day, Sasha and Feathertail became more and more distant. But one day, Sasha walks up to Feathertail and says that she can say something she might want to hear. Sasha then states that she is leaving RiverClan. Feathertail says that Sasha doesn't need to leave RiverClan because of her. Sasha says that it's not her, but because Leopardstar was getting more and more pressuring with making her a warrior. And if she stayed in RiverClan, she knew that the ShadowClan cats would recognize her. Feathertail understands, and watches from a tree as Sasha tells Mothpaw and Hawkpaw goodbye as she leaves the camp. Feathertail then realizes that they did have a good friendship for a while, even if it was all based on a lie.
