Squirrelpaw is a dark ginger tabby she-cat with a white paw, a squirrel-like, thick tail, and green eyes. Squirrelpaw is the current leader of ThunderClan in the lake territories. She was born as Squirrelpaw to Firestar and Sandstorm to Leafkit. As an apprentice, Squirrelpaw was mentored by Dust. While her sister was calm and patient, Squirrelpaw was independent, stubborn, brave, and fiercely passionate, which often got her into trouble. She followed Sulkingclaw on the journey to the place by the sun, where the two grew close. When the Clans arrived at their new home by the lake, she was given her warrior name, Squirrelpaw.

She and Brambleclaw raised Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Holly Leaf; however, after the truth was revealed, Brambleclaw became furious for having lied to him, and the two broke up. Squirrelflight also mentored Foxleap and Rosepetal. After the battle against the Dark Forest, Brambleclaw became leader and named Squirrelflight as her deputy as a show of forgiveness. Following the Great Storm, Squirrelflight mentored Stormcloud, a former Kittypet. She and Bramblestar eventually had kits of their own: Alderkit, Spark Kit, Juniper Kit, and Dandelion Kit, although only Alderheart and Sparkpelt survived to adulthood. Squirrelflight eventually fell out with Bramblestar when she defended the Sisters of ThunderClan and was nearly killed by a rockslide. StarClan allowed his body to heal, but Leafpool remained in StarClan and died. After Bramblestar's unexpected death, Squirrelflight assumed his duties, but she resigned them when he was revived. When she discovered that Bramblestar was being possessed, she was exiled by the false leader and took refuge in ShadowClan. After deposing the imposter, Squirrelflight returned
