Petalshadow is the daughter of Needlestar, the leader of CrescentClan. She is a sleek black tabby she-cat with a long white-tipped tail and striking dark blue eyes. She is an incredibly skilled CrescentClan warrior, and wants to be the leader of her Clan like her mother some day. Because she's the leader's daughter, she's stuck up and selfish most of the time, thinking she's superior over her Clanmates. She only shows respect towards her mother and most of the time her deputy Vineblossom.

Silverstream is a feisty, headstrong young cat who can bend her father Crookedstar (the leader) to her will with little effort. But her impulsive nature is tempered by gentleness inherited from her mother, and she is loved by all her Clanmates.
