Warrior Cats family tree and relationship guide
This relationship guide covers selected branches around the ten character profiles. Mates, siblings and parents are different links: sharing a father does not make two cats littermates, and a mate field is not a complete family history.

Evidence and limits
Family relationships can reveal major plot twists. The tables focus on established profile relationships, while the official family-tree tool provides a larger chart. A missing entry here means not expanded, not no relationship.
Selected relationship links
Official cards often group full and half-siblings together. This table distinguishes those ties when they are included; it does not list every relative.
| Cat | Mate / relationship history | Siblings / selected kin |
|---|---|---|
| Firestar | Sandstorm | Princess; Scourge is a half-brother |
| Bluestar | Oakheart | Snowfur |
| Graystripe | Silverstream, then Millie | Family not fully expanded here |
| Squirrelflight / Squirrelstar | Brambleclaw / Bramblestar | Leafpool |
| Jayfeather | Not expanded here | Hollyleaf and Lionblaze; Breezepelt is a half-brother |
| Ravenpaw | Barley | Not expanded here |
| Hawkfrost | Not expanded here | Mothwing and Tadpole; Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt are half-siblings |
| First Tigerstar / Tigerclaw | Not expanded here | Mistkit and Nightkit |
| Later Tigerstar / Tigerheart | Dovewing | Dawnpelt and Flametail |
Keep the two Tigerstar generations apart
The original Tigerstar is the father of Tawnypelt. Tawnypelt's son Tigerheart later becomes another Tigerstar. His official profile explicitly calls him the first Tigerstar's grandson. Rowanclaw is Tawnypelt's mate; Brambleclaw is not Tigerheart's father.
Why two official cards can look different
Graystripe's card lists Millie as mate, while Silverstream's lists Graystripe. Both relationships belong to his story. A short card is selective; an omitted earlier mate is not a contradiction that should be resolved by deleting that relationship.
For branches not covered here, open the official family-tree tool. Expect spoilers for later books, and use the relevant novel when a compressed profile field needs context.
Questions people ask
Are Firestar and Scourge brothers?
They are half-brothers, not littermates. The official Scourge card lists Firestar, and the official forest-map article specifies the half-brother relationship.
Is Breezepelt Jayfeather's full brother?
No. He is a half-brother; Hollyleaf and Lionblaze are Jayfeather's siblings from the same family group.
Is this the official full family tree?
No. It is a selected relationship guide. The publisher maintains its own larger tool, linked here.
